I fully realize that I'm able to use MIDI thru, but that will incur a delay. How did studios in the early 90s with 30+ rack instruments patch all their MIDI together? I'm not sure what other possible solutions I could be overlooking. I've came up with a whole list of modern options, however, I can't really find any reliable reviews from people using them in this manner. There is of course, the MOTU MIDI Express XT, which you apparently can chain 3 or 4 together on a USB hub, and patch between them. How is the latency on this? Is it acceptable? #MIDI PATCHBAY LATENCY PATCH# There is also the older MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV USB, which allows a serial connection with another unit. does anyone know if this solution has close to zero latency? I have a hard time believing this connection runs higher than 1x MIDI rate, but I could be wrong. There also seems to be the iConnectMIDI units, that lets you chain a bunch together over USB as well. However, they seem to be a bit overpriced for offering only 4 ports each (compared to the price of 8 on the MIDI Timepiece). I don't think they were quite designed for this in mind. Īnother interesting one I found, was the Alyseum AL-88c, which connects over Ethernet (and can be chained). It's very reasonably priced for a 8 I/O box, and seems to be able to do patching as well. However, the only reviews of it I can find on gearslutz, is that it has not so great PCMIDI performance. I can't seem to find anyone who has tried to chain 2+ of these on a network to use as a patchbay. Īnd the final 'solution' I found, was the MIDIbox Matrix project ( mb_matrix ).

Can any of these systems approach the 0 latency speeds of older 8x8 integrated patchbays? This one actually seems PERFECT, however, it isn't a commercial project.
