MIDI Mixer/Matrix

[Bmoney]

I am building a couple of retro gaming 2-3 PCs with 6 different MIDI synthesizers. I want a device that allows me to route the info from the PC to any of the MIDI devices then to my speakers. I have been looking at the Monoprice 10 channel mixer for speaker/ Mic control. Which could handle the output from the MIDI and send to the Speakers but still leaves me with the output from the PCs. 

Suggestions?

So, you want to take the midi output from any of 3 computers and route it to and of 6 synths. Then take the output from those 6 synths and send them to a single pair of speakers?

 

There are midi matrixes which allow you to route a number of inputs to a number of output, however these rely on a host device (pc) to configure and manage the routing. For example this 8 channel interface, or this 10 channel interface. Each allows routing any channel to be output from any other channel. (but make sure the device will do exactly what you're trying to do before you buy it). But to change the routing you need it connected to a host device.

 

For the output from the synths any mixer would be fine, so long as you've got enough channels to handle the number of stereo (or mono) sources you've got.
