CME MIDI Thru5 WC – 1-in-5-out MIDI Thru with 5-pin DIN - High-speed transfer of all data

My stuff connects IMMEDIATELY to this blutooth receiver. I have to turn off a keyboard I keep across the room because it will wake from standby to make a 20 foot connection and beat out my sequencer. It's so frustrating that it works so well. Decades of terrible blutooth performance from Apple and Google and computer vendors. Of waiting an eternity for things to pair. Somehow these folks figured it out. I have an OXI One MK2 on the way. The dream of a fully wireless sequencer may be real. I'll let you know. Ok, let's cover the stuff they list below this box: Ease of Use: very easy to use. It's a fantastic six port midi hub that works fine. Noise: none. That said, I use usb power bricks that have a grounding prong. If you use a 3 prong usb power block, most USB noise goes away from noisy devices. They just aren't common. The included cable was short. This wasn't a big deal to me. I have a lot of usb-c to usb-a cables. Any of them will work. That covers it. It works great. The price is reasonable.

I've been learning how to use MIDI for a while now, and ran up against the inevitable wall of learning that you can not just daisy chain each keyboards or synthesizers MIDI Out port to the next ones IN, and have your messages from the source device continue past the first destination. For that you need a MIDI Thru output, and many modern synthesizers have opted to not include one (though lots let you configure your Out port to act as a Thru instead). Pretty simple to build cheaply if you are handy with a soldering iron and can find a schematic, but it looks like prices are beginning to lower on premade options since I last checked, (was around $60-$70 I think) and it seems much more worth it to me than it used to. This is a neat little device that solved all of my MIDI routing to my hardware synths and controllers. You just insert the controlling devices MIDI Out port to the Thru boxes MIDI In, and you can broadcast the signal to 5 other devices at once. If you need more ports but already have one of these, you can easily daisy chain one of the Thru out ports to the In port of another box for 5 more connections. There is a way to upgrade the box to handle MIDI over Bluetooth, but I haven't tried that yet. Hardware cables are your best bet for lowest latency, but it is nice to have the option.

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

This little device came in handy as a midi port expander. I had about 5 devices to link together, but only some had pass-through ports. This little box let me take that midi chain and expand it out to accommodate the remaining devices. Worked well with a variety of brands: Elektron, ASM, Arturia and Oxi stuff. Compact and useful. It does need USB power - do if you don't have that near your setup, you'll also need a USB source.

Very cool product that I need to take advantage of more!

Cool little box that gets the wireless midi working and splits the signal. It took a bit of reading, trial and error but I finally got my BT foot controller to work wirelessly with the thru6 to send commands to the pedals and for ableton on a Mac to send clock sync to the pedals. Not quite sure if the group was saved for instant recall but the app had a readout in the group lane. However, I did have to take a pedal off of the thru6 because it would not receive commands through a 5 pin din to 3.5 cable with a 1/4” adapter. I have an mc6 coming and hope to just use it as a clock interface and omniport. There is a learning curve if you are unfamiliar with midi/bluetooth/tech but overall I am pleased. It does what it says it will do.

Works great ! Helps with cable management

Great way to avoid daisy chaining and adding WIDI to my live setup... I can control all my vintage Synths from a tablet... it works awesome

I replaced an old thru box (1 in 2 out) with this box and it replaced that box with no problems and has given me extra outs. Where this box really shone was the BLE input. I used an android app to send bluetooth midi and it integrated flawlessly. Very happy with my new setup.

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。
