The Korena take

Keep one wired MIDI source feeding up to five DIN-equipped destinations with the CME MIDI Thru5 WC. Its single 5-pin input and five thru outputs make it a straightforward choice when clock, notes, controllers, sysex, MIDI timecode, or MPE data need to reach several devices at once. USB-C bus power keeps the connection simple, while two LEDs provide wired and wireless status feedback. Bluetooth MIDI expansion adds a wireless route for hybrid setups.

Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Rigs needing more than one 5-pin DIN MIDI input.
