I have multiple MIDI devices that I had daisy chained and was getting stuck notes. This simplified the entire setup and solved that problem. I use it with the CME 3 IN /3 OUT box to have flexibility without having to switch cords around. Both require a power source but work nicely off of a USB hub. Build quality is great.

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.

I have had no issues with MIDI messaging while using this thru box. It comes in a small space saving design. It is powered with USB C. The casing is made of hardened plastic. It seems to be sturdy. It's not thin and cheap. I have another MIDI thru box that has a metal casing. It's not quite that tough, but it can probably take the rigors of the road or just chill in the studio just the same.It may be small in size, but it has 5 thru/out ports and 1 MIDI in port. Each port is 5-DIN compatible. It can be used with other MIDI devices too if you need some extra ports. This can be used with pedals, controllers, synthesizers, and pretty much anything with MIDI capabilities.There is also a WIDI option. I have never used that function, so I cannot attest to its veracity. My studio works on cable connections, so I'm not using that tech currently.Overall, I think it's a great device. It's good for professionals and beginners alike. MIDI is such a great technology, and this device will help take advantage of it's capabilities. It would be great if this could be a thru box and a merger box, but that would probably make it a little less affordable. If you are merely looking for thru/out midi, then you can't go wrong with this one.

I bought this to send MIDI from a Line6 HX Stomp to my Strymon Cloudburst, El Capistan v2, and Eventide H9 pedals. Because I had the wrong cables, it initially didn't work with the Strymon pedals. I learned that I had to use a Strymon MIDI EXP cable between the CME Thru 5 and the Strymon pedals. The CME Thru5 does exactly what it is designed to do.I learned this from Strymon's technical support, "Our pedals require a component called an opto-isolator to be present on any DIN -> TRS cable, in addition to having the cable made to send MIDI on the TIP of the TRS connection, and receive on the RING. TRS MIDI Type-A is the most common type of cable out there, which works differently than this, and can cause issues from time to time. This is why we only recommend our MIDI EXP cables, as those meet all of our specifications and will work well."

This replaced my Quadra-Thru because I needed that extra 5th port. I don't know if the power supply was necessary but since I had additional power supplies available, I've been using it while supplying power to it. It distributes my midi clock from my beatbuddy to 3 loopers, a delay pedal, and a microkorg. Works as expected and fits nicely on the pedal board.

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!
