The Smart Multibox is an extremely versatile MIDI interface. Its 2 MIDI inputs, 4 MIDI outputs and USB-C port are connected to a powerful CPU which can be programmed to process incoming messages and send them to one or more outputs. There are three main operating modes you can choose from: Merge/Thru – in this mode, the Smart Multibox works as a MIDI merge and thru box. Any messages sent to either of the two inputs are sent to all four outputs. USB MIDI – in this mode, the Smart Multibox can act as a USB to MIDI interface when connected to a computer. All MIDI inputs and outputs will appear in your MIDI apps. Script Mode – this is the most powerful mode. It allows you to run scripts (written in MicroPython) that perform complex translation and routing of MIDI messages. Scripts can be downloaded via the Smart Multibox Editor app or written yourself. Additionally, the Smart Multibox has a TRS input for an expression pedal or external switch, and Input 1/Output 1 support bidirectional MIDI and phantom power for compatible devices.
