Over 20 bands playing to celebrate the CD Launch of the album "Synthesthesia 7000" - a compilation of brand new songs from loca...

The mmt8 allows this because it has a midi merge facility (MIDI ECHO button) that combines its MIDI input jack with it's MIDI output jack as well as sending it to the MIDI thru por...
