Can anybody with a higher degree of knowledge on the midi front give me some advice on the following.

I need to connect a Nord Electro, CME UF7, Roland PK5 pedalboard, B4D drawbar controller to Receptor.

I need a midi merge device i think consisting of four midi in's and one or more outs. Is this ok? and will it connect all my controller gear to receptor? I'd prefer a box merger than a rackmount one, and could anyone point me into the right direction of a suitable one.

Thanks

Hi C3boy,

look at:
http://www.midisolutions.com/prodqmr.htm

I just picked up one of these from www.midi-classics.com. Works great, no battery required, handles 3 sources fine for me.

Regards,
Kevin L.

I use a few MIDI Solutions products with my Receptor; live & in the studio ~ problem free and stable.

Great, thanks guys.

Id already seen there Quadra Merge and was just looking for some user opinions.

i actually had some trouble using a quadra merge and pk5 together. the pk5 running through the QM did some funny things, like change patches on the receptor when i tried to play notes. i have to believe it's something quirky with my particular setup, but if you have any way of testing it out first, i'd recommend it.

Well aside from buying a rackmount merger, its my only option i think, so i bought it. If it is causing problems i'll send it back when I have had a chance to use it.

You may want to look into an old MX8 or some of the other single rack space MIDI patchbays. They are wonderful MDI workhorses.
