My only gripe would be the price, something that all patch bays unfortunately are affected by. Learn more - eBay Money Back Guarantee - opens in a new window or tab. I am surprised to find that MIDI patch bays are either very expensive or seemingly unreliable. The MX-8 MIDI Patchbay/Processor combines 6x8 patching with an incredible array. There is a successor by Edirol, the U-880, which I believe is identical except it has flash memory (this A-880 needs a battery for memory functions) and an additional USB port for computer use.

The A880 has an internal memory allowing you to write different configurations into a bank that can be recalled with program changes over MIDI, this is extremely appreciated in a setup where I'm using everything but want to focus only on specific instruments at a time. This meets that with outstanding results. I needed a patchbay that could be entirely controlled and redirected without a computer.
