 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2015 7:35 pm Post subject: Headphone splitter works as midi splitter! |
 |
|
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, if it is, no need to shame me.
But to those wishing to control multiple external midi gear, a simple headphone splitter appears to work fine as a midi splitter. I'm able to control both my MicroBrute and iPad (via Griffin Studio Connect) from the electribe without issue.
I was about to order a midi thru box, but this just saved me $50. |

| I see no reason why it wouldn't work with midi IN as well. Cheap workaround for the missing midi THRU. |

It makes sense now I think about it. Great find.

It absolutely should.

Ah crap! I forgot to show this off. Yes, head phone splitter is a great way to send E2 midi to ES2 and a 3rd source like your KP3. I have this set up in my rig.

| Can you daisychain headphone splitters to control even more MIDI devices? Is there a degradation of the signal when you split? |

There will be a degradation, you will eventually reach a point where it won't work anymore. |

| Ah man, and to think I wasted 40 quid on a Midi thru box before tying this! Great find. I've run out of midi thru connections already so this might allow me to expand further ... |

The thru box is the proper way to do it, if that's any consolation....
I've not paid more than $20 us for one with less than four ports though. I don't buy them new either... |
