>Is there a universal MIDI router/multiplexer box with a whole bunch of USB and MIDI ports on it? Nope. You can do this by plugging a USB hub into a computer/tablet/phone, and running several MIDI interfaces into the hub, so it's not an unsolvable problem for the musician, just a very clunky setup. Didn't find a single device with multiple USB and MIDI in/out ports after an extensive search. And the devices that I did find cost more than the synths that they would connect. >If not, would there be a market for such a thing? There is a market for a compact device like that, especially if it can be battery-powered for live gigs, remembers the settings, and doesn't need a screen/external device to set up the routing. Even something as simple as "Merge all IN ports, and send to all OUT ports" would be great, and there isn't such a thing. Seems like most musicians who care about this simply don't buy gear without 5-pin ports to begin with. But yes, I've been thinking about making this for years now, and if you need a startup/kickstarter idea - go ahead, I'll chip in.
