I have several midi devices that I want to use together:
- FCB1010 foot controller (in and out/thru)
- Pod 2.0 (in and out, but no pass through according to manual)
- Whammy pedal (in only)
- Computer with Fast Track Pro (1x1 midi interface, used only sometimes)
The simplest way to have the foot controller controlling the other three would be to have everything connected directly to a midi interface (I would have to buy one with more ports) and route everything using the computer. However, I don't want to have to rely on my laptop just to have two of the other things on the list able to communicate.
What is the best solution? A midi splitter box such as this? That way the foot controller could send to everything, and the laptop could talk to the foot controller and then from there through to the other two devices. However that would mean that the Pod could not talk back to the computer.
The computer sometimes needs to talk back to the other devices (usually for programming presets) and I would prefer not to have to juggle cables every time I want to do that.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
