There’s a dedicated button for each each input and output, so you just select an input button, and then pick which outputs to route it to. The MRCC has tons of MIDI connections, ranging from traditional 5-pin DIN connectors to USB interfaces and USB host ports and even the 3.5mm MIDI A/B connectors that are popular on compact devices. The MRCC has been designed to make it easy to build flexible and powerful MIDI setups, combing controllers, instruments, your computer and more. The MRCC was originally launched as a Kickstarter project and will now be publicly available. Spent a lot of money on gear since then.Conductive Labs – creators of the NDLR Multi-part Polyphonic Sequenced Arpeggiator – have introduced the MIDI Router Control Center (MRCC), a new device that they say reinvents the MIDI router. One day I decide to hook everything up again and that re-ignited my interest in making music. Rack full of gear gathering dust for many years. Played keyboards (badly I might add) in bands but got fed up with it.

You can always spend money on midi interfaces later -) If you can get the Echo Layla to work I would start with that.

What OS is your PC running? I see that Echo have Win7 drivers for the Layla although I'm not sure if the will work on a 圆4 system.

If you also want to use synth editors and be able to do patch dumps both ways you need the midi out of the synths back into the PC and that is where a patchbay comes in handy if you don't have enough midi-I/O on the PC. If you have stuff that is timing sensitive or needs to be synced (MPC, 808, sequencers) put those first in the chain. Don't make the chain too long but 2 or 3 synths chained always worked for me. Yes, you can daisy-chain (The midi-thru of the first synth goes to the midi-in of the second and so on) but that only works one way. Long story short: Get yourself a proper 8x8 USB Midi interface.

The M-audio Midi-sport is okay once it works but I have had a lot of driver issues and wouldn't buy another one. The MOTU gear is still available new and works well for me although some people seem to have issues with them. They are awesome and hassle free and although they've been around for many years driver support is still uo-to-date (windows 7/8 圆4). The Edirols are not manufactured anymore but if you happen to find one second hand I would recommend them. I still use the midi-sport 4x4 but also have a Edirol UM880(8x8), UM550(5x5) and a MOTU 128 midi express (7x8). in the end I bought some more multi I/O midi interfaces and that works much better. That was a hassle and with multiple devices needing to share the same midi ports could give issues with latency and timing (midi clock). I used to have a M-audio midisport 4x4 and a couple of Midi patchbays (DMC and Kawai) to hook up all the synths and fx(I want everything permanently connected, both midi and audio). A better way would probably be to get an interface with some more midi ports so each synth can have it's own midi connection into the PC. You could get a cheap single port usb midi interface and hook that up to your patchbay and have a setup similar to what you used to have. Many, if not most, standard integrated soundcards don't have Midi connectors anymore. In the old days you probably used the standard Midi I/O of the soundcard (soundblaster maybe?) and hooked the patchbay up to that. The KMX MIDI central is a patchbay, not an interface.
