Really cool little gadget. I had a small home made box (built years ago that sat on the floor) with switches on it to switch between various routings but this does that and much more from the PC or from a little button that cycles through four presets.

It's one more thing that saves me bending down and straining/hurting my back.

Talking of bad/sore backs, which I'm currently suffering from, I also spent over £2000 on a new super-king bed mattress today. Long overdue! The whole buying experience was very cool where we lay on a bed/machine that profiled the best mattress for our posture and sleeping positions etc. We tried 3 mattresses and instantly made my back felt better as we lay in each one. I said to the shop assistant, who was super good, that I'm glad that I went looking when my back was so sore! He agreed that it was the best time to do it.

So there you go MIDI and Mattresses in the same post! Who would have thunk it eh????

I have one of those, too. Very flexible, handy and inexpensive.

And this is how we save bandwidth folks. Multi-topic threads! I might start one about baseball and koala bears! <— not a koala bear.

I don’t know anything about your midi thing but hope you enjoy it. \:\)

And congrats on the mattress! A good mattress definitely improves quality of life.

Interesting about the bed/machine/sleep profiler thing. I always those Sleep number beds should be used similarly. Find the right setting for you and then get a normal mattress that most closely aligns with that setting. Cuz I have to figure, once you find your ideal sleep number, how often you gonna change that thing? I mean, I get that each person could have their own setting on the same mattress but seems like overkill.

I had a bunch of little MIDI gadgets like this when my MIDI duo was going full force. Filters, routers, etc. damned handy, they were.
