Midi patchbay?

My apologies if this is a stupid question:
Does a midi patchbay exist as a product?
(I would prefer something that is still in production).

Please feel free to suggest brands if is is allowed by the forum rules!

Thank you!

Absolutely! But we need to be clear, are we talking about a midi interface for a computer, or an actual midi patchbay, i.e. eight ins being routed to eight outs.

True midi patchbays (not midi interfaces) were more of a late 80's to mid-90's kind of thing. As such, most of your selection is going to be used.

A good one was made by 360 Systems, and was called the Midi Patcher.

Yep, and I have a 360 systems midi patcher 4 in 8 out that I no longer use. I now use a couple of Maudio 8x8's. Let me know if the one I am not using is big enough.

The old Roland A-880 is a classic. And still the best if you ask me!

I agree on that one too! That's the one I'm using, while my A-880 sees no use nowadays. The UM-880 is a bit expensive just as a patchbay though...
