   * [[yt>qqL-IYc4Rn0|HOW I SEQUENCE & SYNC 15 SYNTHS — midi routing and DAW integration]] - By BoBeats, who has a very big, Youtuber-budget, setup with hardware and software.
-Personally I use a [[Roland]] USB→MIDI cable to communicate between my computer and an 8-in/8-out MIDI router, and everything else goes into that router too. I find the [[MIDI router]] such a hassle saver, you just tell it what signals to send where. You can get old ones like mine for $100 and less, or new fancy ones for much more if you really want. If you want to record audio on your computer get an audio interface in place of the Roland cable.

If you want to record audio on your computer get an audio interface in place of the Roland cable. I've seen some other routers designed to be run from a computer (Edirol and Mio ones come to mind), but I'm happy with my setup.
+==== Sysex ====
+I'm using [[Reaper]] to send Sysex messages for synths that need them (mostly the yamaha_tx81z), but some other options for [[Linux]] are:
+  * **amidi** - Command line tool you might fidn handy if you want to make your own scripts.
+  * **SysExxer** and **SysExxer NG** - GUI tools for sending and receiving sysex messages.
+  * There are various //Patch Editor// and //Patch Librarian// programs that combine organising and transmitting patches in various formats. Lots of the big ones are Windows only, and I haven't really explored any of them. MIDI-OX seems to be the most recommended.
