CME MIDI Thru5 WC - 5-Channel MIDI Interface with High-Speed Thru and Splitter Function

Bought this 1-in 5-out midi thru box because it's the best value I can find and the other reviews helped a lot as well, thanks everybody :) I've been avoiding buying one, but the instrument-chaining finally became too big an ask due to my Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I've only had it 2 days but it's doing a fine job of sending midi thru to all five channels without any issues. It's just a plastic box with 6 holes in, no great piece of fancy engineering, but it seems solid enough and the connectors all fit spot on. Had a look at the other two products that are available for chaining to this device but I don't fancy them much, so can't speak of the extra connectivity that's available, but the cheapness is reflected in the 'hobbyist engineering' that you need to do to enable that lark. (I didn't mind building a Dreadbox Nyx Reissue, but that's a different game hah!) Conclusion: I think about all the faffing around that I accepted as part of life before thru-box, and now I feel free. Given a full five stars - how can I not? I am free!

Excellent bit of kit. It just works. I have received the best ever support from CME regarding another product. I can't recommend them enough!

Works perfectly, small size helps keep it hidden away. Note: requires usb c power, included cable is short, so purchasing a longer cable might be helpful if you have a large distance between your usb hub and audio equipment. Will be purchasing another, much more success with this device than the Erica synths equivalent which is significantly more expensive

Lightweight build but works fine.

Amazing piece of kit. Solid build and so good for the price. I have no latency and no compatibility issues!

Good value, does a great job

Really easy to setup and use. Until recently I had a spiderweb of midi cables and splitter cables to connect one midi outout on an audio interface to a few external analogue synths. This little box has replaced all the splitter cables meaning a less chaotic setup. Seems to be no noticeable latency issues, in fact I haven’t encountered any issues at all. Reasonable price and a piece of kit that works as described - can’t ask for better. Build quality is fine as well.

Does exactly what it means to do no problems just a good bit of kit

Functions great, usb-c powered. Super straightforward piece of gear

The CME MIDI Thru5 WC is exactly what you want from a MIDI splitter: simple, reliable, and solidly built. Build quality is very good, with a sturdy metal enclosure that feels made for real-world use, whether in a studio or a live rack. It’s truly plug and play. No drivers, no configuration, no headaches. You plug it in, feed it a MIDI signal, and it just works. All outputs are stable and perfectly in sync, with no noticeable latency or glitches. For anyone running multiple MIDI devices and needing a clean, dependable thru box, this unit does its job flawlessly. No unnecessary features, just rock-solid MIDI distribution done right.

Fungerar som förväntat, riktigt bra alltså.

Fait son "travail" parfaitement. Très bien!

1in、5outのMIDIスルーボックスです。これまでは別会社のパッシブ（電源不要）の製品を使って来ましたが、ライブを行うにあたり少し不安が生じたので、USBによる電源供給が必要なこの製品を購入して使いました。特に問題なく使用出来ています。CMEは信頼出来るメーカーのようです。
