Kenton Electronics has announced the Merge 4 (£74.97). This four-way MIDI merge box allows you to take four opto-isolated MIDI inputs, merge all four streams of MIDI data (including SysEx and Clock), and send the combined results to two MIDI outputs, both of which carry identical MIDI data. The Merge 4 was designed to be easy to use—just plug it in and use it to get MIDI signals into your system with or without a computer.

The Merge 4 has a DC power input jack, a power indicator light, and a 9V unregulated power supply. It's housed in a sturdy metal box.
