would you really advice it? i'm reading some reviews and they really don't use nice words on it... (and for that price i could buy a dbx266)

also, i'd really love to do some sidechining, is it possible with a 3630?

+1 for DBX266 - I know it's rack, but it's sweet as.  Or, keep your eye on ebay for a JoeMeek MC2.

TBH, reading your first post again, I think your budget is a bit too tight.  You're really only in the market for a cheap bit of tat, or perhaps a pair of cheap stop boxes, like Line 6 Constrictor.

EDIT: A quick Google brought up Behringer MiniCom COM800, there may be other Behringer options in budget.  This falls in the cheap tat category, but with your budget I'm not sure you have many options sad

*MINT*!!  So, I couldn't get the midi channel mapping (rechanneling) to work on the output section of the unit.  After a few emails backwards and forwards with MOTU they've confirmed this is a genuine issue and the control panel software (Clockworks) will have to be patched.

FFS!  This isn't exactly a new piece of kit.  I can't believe no one else has ever reported this problem.  Maybe I'm unique?

Ah well, I'll just have to abuse them on Twitter daily until it's fixed smile

I realised too late : Moving from a thru chain to a proper in/out solution means I need more cables >_<

Problem solved!

Alternatively, just get an A/V cable for it and forget about hacking it.

i just set my recieve channels carefully on all my gear and its no problem
do you have some gear that is basically stuck in omni mode?

Yes, this exactly >_<

I just figured if I'm thinking of a patchbay anyway, then I may as get one with MIDI filtering/channeling which can fix this problem for me at the same time smile

Hi Prof

Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing smile

I've had a look at the Midisport 8x8 docs and unless I'm reading it wrong, it just seems to patch input-x to output-y.  Whereas I'd ideally like to filter one input out to several outputs based on the incoming channel. 

One reason for this is that my DD55 listens on all channels, not just channel 10.....which means I can't use a MIDI thru without lots of lovely GM noises coming out of it.  >_<

I had a good read through the Midisport8x8  manual this weekend, although it does work as a patchbay and has presets, it doesn't do any kind of midi filtering or channelling, which I need.    Probably should have specified that :s

So for example,

I have an input on Input 1, I want to redirect that to Output 1, but also just channel 10 to Output 2.  I can see that the MTP AV can do this, just wondering if there's any cheaper options as the cheapest one I can find is £250 off ebay sad

Oh really? I had no idea it could do that!   I had my eye out for one a while ago, but never managed to find on (I'm rocking a Midisport 2x2 right now)

Thanks for that!
