I think @michaeljk1963 use-case is having many midi devices (more than the 4 output of hapax)
@michaeljk1963 , your choices are (and Im sure you are aware of these)
-
use midi thru on devices , if they have them.
-
use a ‘simple’ midi splitter, if you really just need more physical connections
-
other theres a few midi routers out there.
I use a mioXM, and it really is good for the job, Id assume the mioXL to be just as good , but bigger.
I think only ‘downside’ of these, is at times it does ‘over complicate’ things… I quite often just unplug the hapax from it, and just plug things in directly to what Im using ‘now’. just to simplify life … and make music rather than ‘play with tech’
be aware current the USB host/device port on the hapax (currently) only supports one USB ‘port’,
(see this post , but it is on Squarp’s roadmap… but no timeframe!)
