RE: Midi output selector



might be a dumb question, donovan, but why do you need to "protect" each device from receiving messages intended for one of the others?
 
can't you just use a midi-through box (or indeed, daisy-chain the devices' own thru' sockets) & put them on different midi channels?
 
midi doesn't like to be run through passive switchgear, though if you can eliminate the possibility of operating the switch while a message is in transit, so to speak, then it is possible. a guitar tech could probably hook you something up, with four din sockets & a rotary switch or similar.
 
years ago, I had a through-box with a & b inputs each passively switchable onto either of two sets of four outputs. I haven't seen anything like it recently.....
check this site: http://www.philrees.co.uk/midi.htm
 
y'see, now that everyone (sic) is studio-bound & using software, those of us that actually need to do interesting stuff with hardware & midi can't get anything useful anymore. I'm hanging on to my five merge boxes like they were bits of the ark or something.

Subject: Midi output selector

Hello,
     Hello, I am looking to send midi messages from my Roctron All access to one of three separate other units (Echoplex, Prophesy, Whammy) individually.  Sort of a Midi equivalent of an A/B box.  Devices like this must exist, but I am not sure what the proper name of such a device is and am having trouble locating what I need. 
Can anyone help me in my search? Or have better ideas in which I can achieve the same goal?  I don't use a laptop in performance.

Thanks for any help,

Donovan Stokes
