does pitchfactor have this?

molten voltage did things like this - are they atill in business?

PF does, yes.

While technically a hell of a lot *not* a pedal, the Boss ES-8 switcher has master midi bpm per-patch that it sends on demand.

midi is cool but honestly i get by like 99% of the time just setting the BPM's or the times as close as i can get it.

I read some place that some of the Eventide stuff have issues with Thru/Out MIDI commands but I can't say. YMMV.

I have a Boss ES5 connected to Source Audio Ventris and Nemesis and then the MIDI out of the to the RJM Mini Amp Gizmo for channel switching on my Dual Rectifier.

For any device, especially for things like clock, chaining MIDI devices is suboptimal. Old serial connection tech, so relaying a message through another device's Thru port or, worse still, relying on the second device not mangling the message when adding its own info to the Out is not a safe bet. The more devices in a daisy chain, the worse it gets.

MIDI splitters are the way to go. Kind of like an isolated power supply--each output is a clean copy of the input signal. 5 pin splitters have several decades of existence, so used can be cheap. I've spotted some pretty simple DIY circuits that are supposed to work great. I believe the TRS MIDI converter boxes Chase Bliss and Empress provide do the same thing, just on different connectors.

Now combining multiple MIDI signals into one output with a "merge" box, that's a trickier task. Not all commercial boxes are created equal and DIY is not for the faint of heart. Find a real MIDI nerd locale for info/advice if you need that.

Yea, the thru/out chaining is hell.

I spent the $50 on a Quadra-thru and ended the pain.

Huh. Had no idea. I’ve yet to run into any issues going through three devices but this will definitely give me something to consider.
