MIDI with Sparks

If I’m trying to use a Boss MS-3 to trigger presets on the Sparks, but I ALSO want to use a Keystep to play the synth, is there a way to have both connected to the Sparks on a pedalboard? Or do I have to manually plug one in over the other?

I believe the Keystep allows you to enable MIDI Thru functionality on its MIDI Out. If you ensure it’s setup this way you should be able to plug the output of the MS3 to the input of the Keystep and the output of the Keystep to the input of Sparks.

In case this does not work for whatever reason, there’s such thing as MIDI Merger. It’s a separate box with a few MIDI Ins and one (or more) MIDI outs. Several devices, connected to MIDI Ins, can send MIDI commands to a common MIDI output.

An example: MIDI Solutions Merger; Two Input MIDI Merger
