Does what is says on the box

Kenton boxes are always useful and reliable. No complaints at all, and they just do the job required with no fuss.

It really fit my setup!

I have a Korg Kross 2 88 workstation keyboard that I use as a master keyboard in my studio. Korg has a combi mode that I can use to split and layer 16 different timbres from its internal sound and external module. I wanted to control my Arturia MicroFreak, volca sample 2, and some soft-synth in my laptop from combi mode.

Kenton MIDI Thru 5 does the job really well. From the workstation MIDI out, I can split the MIDI signal to those external devices and play it together in combi mode.

In summary, Kenton MIDI Thru 5 is highly recommended if you have multiple external MIDI devices (up to 5 devices) and you want to control it from a single source such as a workstation keyboard or DAW + Audio Interface with MIDI out capability.

Pretty good

I have owned this for probably 2 years now, and I have not had any issues with it. It's just plug and play. The build quality is not super great, but it's good enough for me.

Simple and effective

I use it to sync my synths through midi. Although MIDI din in general might not be the best solution for syncing synths as analogue clock is faster and much less (if no) jitter MIDI din is still a standard and cables are somewhat cheaper, this box does just that, great little solution for distributing MIDI to all devices.

Good

Reliable, no noticeable latency, and have not noticed a dropped bit. Quite rugged construction for what it is. Small and compact.

Big fun

Has been helpful for me in connecting my synths and maintaining clock synchronization. I m satisfied with the Kenton MIDI Thru 5 and don't have any specific areas for improvement. Easy to use without a problem ,I use it several years ,great little piece!!

Works great

This MIDI Thru box works well! It's got its own power supply. Only remark: it's pretty small and light so it tends to fly around or fall from the table when moving cables around

Parfait en Jam

Génial, le passage des informations midi fonctionne parfaitement,

Je l'utilise en JAM pour passer du signal midi de l'instrument master vers tous mes slaves, c'est vraiment top.

Aucun problème depuis plus d'1 an d'utilisation.
