Combines the Data from Multiple MIDI Sources

The Kenton Merge-4 does exactly what you'd expect: it merges four MIDI sources into a single MIDI stream. Boasting four opto-isolated MIDI inputs and two MIDI outputs, the Merge-4 merges all MIDI data, including MIDI Clock, MIDI Time Code, and SysEx. The Kenton Merge-4 features a rugged and eye-catching brushed-aluminum housing.

Kenton Electronics: the MIDI experts

Back in the dawning days of MIDI, John Price founded Kenton Electronics with a singular purpose: to build easy-to-use MIDI interfaces for electronic musicians to keep their synths, sequencers, and controllers communicating, regardless of manufacturer, type, or vintage. It all started when John crafted an interface to "MIDI-ize" his Oberheim OBX. Before he knew it, other musicians began asking him to perform similar feats with their own gear. Thus, Kenton was born. The company has a device for pretty much every MIDI conundrum you'll ever encounter. Whenever Sweetwater customers need specialized MIDI solutions, we point them toward the industry's foremost MIDI experts: Kenton Electronics.

Kenton Merge-4 MIDI Merge Box Features:

  • Merges 4 MIDI sources into a single MIDI stream
  • Boasts 4 opto-isolated MIDI inputs and 2 MIDI outputs (both outputs contain the same MIDI stream)
  • Merges all MIDI data, including MIDI Clock, MIDI Time Code, and SysEx
  • Rugged and eye-catching brushed-aluminum housing

Reviews

RED PILL BLUE PILL…THIS IS THE PURPLE ONE
If you could instantly download Kung Fu or Piloting a Helicopter like in The Matrix, wouldn't it actually be terrifying. Imagine having the mental abilities of Bruce Lee but having never taken a punch. An encyclopedia of aviation information but no context to filter what's important. No experience, muscle memory; you have not earned it. This would be overwhelming and at the same time you're already sparring with Morpheus or flying between skyscrapers in a gunfight.
So I just didn't want to deal with moving MIDI cables around. And now my Sequencer & MX can run as controllers while the Reface CS & the same MX are voices…all simultaneously plus the sustain pedal and mod wheel are doing stuff.
"I know Kung Fu and now my head hurts."
Music background: get a synth they said, it will be fun they said
Kenton Merge-4
The Kenton Merge-4 does what it's supposed to do. Unfortunately, it wasn't the solution to my problem. I was having a MIDI issue with one of my keyboards and a new Hammond organ virtual instrument. The Merge-4 routed the MIDI signal, I'm sure. I just couldn't get the keyboard to talk to the virtual instrument on MIDI channel 2.
