1. Introducción
The DOREMiDi MERGE-5 Pro is a versatile MIDI interface designed to merge up to five MIDI input signals into a single MIDI data stream. This merged stream can then be output through two independent MIDI interfaces. It supports a wide range of standard MIDI commands and can operate as a standalone unit without requiring a computer connection. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your MERGE-5 Pro.
2. Características principales

- Conexiones de entrada MIDI: Connect your MIDI devices (e.g., MIDI keyboards, controllers, synthesizers) to the "MIDI IN" ports (1-5) on the MERGE-5 Pro using standard MIDI cables.
- MIDI Output Connections: Connect the "MIDI OUT" ports (1-2) of the MERGE-5 Pro to the MIDI input ports of your receiving devices (e.g., sound modules, other synthesizers, or a computer's MIDI interface).
6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The MERGE-5 Pro is designed for straightforward operation. Once powered on and connected, it will automatically begin merging MIDI data.
- MIDI Merging: All MIDI data received on any of the five "MIDI IN" ports will be combined into a single data stream. This merged stream is then simultaneously sent out through both "MIDI OUT" ports.
- Supported MIDI Commands: The device supports the merging of a wide array of standard MIDI messages, including Note On/Off, Control Change (CC), Program Change (PC), MIDI Clock, MIDI Time Code, and System Exclusive (SysEx) messages.
- Operación independiente: The MERGE-5 Pro can operate independently without being connected to a computer, making it ideal for hardware-based MIDI setups.
7. MIDI Filtering Configuration
The MERGE-5 Pro allows for individual MIDI filtering configuration on each port. This advanced feature enables you to selectively block or pass specific types of MIDI messages, optimizing your MIDI workflow and preventing unwanted data from being transmitted.
For detailed instructions on how to configure MIDI filtering for each port, please refer to the official DOREMiDi website or contact customer support. This typically involves using a dedicated software utility or specific MIDI SysEx messages to program the device's filtering parameters.
8. Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your MERGE-5 Pro, consider the following common solutions:
- Sin energía: Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the MERGE-5 Pro and a working USB power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
- Sin señal MIDI:
- Verify that all MIDI cables are correctly connected to the "MIDI IN" and "MIDI OUT" ports.
- Check the MIDI output settings on your sending devices and input settings on your receiving devices.
- Ensure the MIDI devices themselves are powered on and functioning correctly.
- If MIDI filtering is enabled, ensure that the type of MIDI messages you expect to transmit are not being filtered out.
- Comportamiento MIDI inesperado: This could be due to MIDI loops or incorrect filtering settings. Review your setup and filtering configurations.
If problems persist, please contact DOREMiDi customer support for further assistance.
