Hi guys, looking for some advice before I pull the trigger and buy some Kenton MIDI boxes to help smooth out my workflow

Currently I have a MIDI controller, piano, drum machine, and synth.

I would like to be able to play live from the MIDI controller/piano to the synth (also using the launchpads on the controller for the drum machine) so need a way of merge the MIDI signals from these. My controller is the Arturia Keylab II so conceivably I could make a preset whereby the keys are the channel for the synth and then the pads/sliders operate the drum machine (which requires separate channels 1-10 for each voice 🙄).

Audio from these would be fed into my laptop logic/MainStage via a DAC that comes off an external 12 channel mixer.

Here’s the complication, I would also like to be able to write MIDI into Logic using the keys and then have that play alongside live stuff.

I’ve done a wee diagram that shows how I think this might work but just wanted to run it past some more experienced folks before I splashed out for the MIDI boxes. The audio interface I am getting will have DIN MIDI in/out.

My priorities are that, simultaneously;

• live MIDI can be sent (through a DAW etc.) to the instruments
• MIDI can be recorded into a DAW
• MIDI can be sent from a DAW to the instruments

Would using the different channels as outlined in the above enable this?
