banks......

midi merge is what you want. I think Anatek makes tiny midi merge boxes.
Or, if you had a REAL midi pedal, like say a digitech PMC-10, it would have
a midi-in jack and do the midi merge for you. Then you could plug another
device into your pedal for it to mix the data and send it to your other
devices... :-)
