Combining Multi-IO and 2hp Midi expander

[flel]

Hi there,

I imagine this is a silly question but I cannot find the answer in the manual and been trying to find a solution by menu-diving for more time than I'd like with no success so figured I'd ask here.

I have both the multi-io and 2hp midi expander, with the multi-io receiving midi directly from the nerdseq and passing it on via the 12 pin ribbon cable to the 2hp midi expander. If I connect a TRS cable into the multi-io TRS out I am able to send midi notes just fine, but if I move the same cable to the midi expander no signal is sent. Am I missing something in the settings? Do I need to change a setting somewhere to turn the 2hp midi expander "on"?

You can either use the 2hp midi module OR the Multi-IO not both.

Ah yes thanks for clarifying. I see it now in the manual. Not sure how I missed that. If I want to send MIDI signal to multiple destinations using different MIDI channels, can I then use a simple TRS y-splitter or do I need something like this: https://tubbutec.de/trs-bridge/

Simple splitter might work but not recommended.
The tubutec trs bridge might be a bit over the top but wil def. work.
A simple midi thru for trs will do the job, eg. https://www.tindie.com/products/deftaudi...-midithru/
or any other midi thru box with trs to din cable...

Hi,

You can also use this type of small enclosure if you don't want to consume any speakers in your rack.
