MIDI SPLITTER
The MIDI Splitter is used in cases where you want to split out a single MIDI output from a switcher or any
MIDI output to the intput of multiple MIDI Devices.  I've found this Splitter cable to be valueable when you have
different brand MIDI Devices, like Strymon and Source Audio, or Strymon and Eventide.  Often, when
combining these using the MIDI Thru on the devices themselves, there can be MIDI misfires or garbled
transmissions.When you use a splitter like this, it will allow you to get a direct MIDI signal going to and from each
individual pedal, plus it saves you connection points on the back of your MIDI equipped devices as you only need
to plug into the MIDI input on your pedals.
