Excellent kit! Easy for beginners. Fast shipping 🙌

For MIDI Thru 1in -> 10out splitter PCB or a Kit

This is an excellent kit. It was delivered quickly and the build documentation is very good. It's an easy build even for a beginner but still looks and feels very pro. I had a couple of questions for Andrei and he got back to me right away with the info I needed. To complete the build I bought an 12"x12" acrylic sheet and some nylon M3 standoffs on Amazon for a few dollars and cut the sheet with a metal ruler and sharp utility knife. Looks scary but it's easy! Absolutely recommend this kit!

Excellent product; totally customizeable

For Teensy 3.2 MIDI Breakout board, 3in / 3out, USB

This MIDI breakout is awesome. Its basic functionality with the provided sketch is what most people would need. With some expansion and minor tweaks, you can make it do a whole lot more!
This is not a consumer product; you must know how to program an Arduino or Teensy to make it useful to you. But that makes it way more fun!
Shipped with a faulty optoisolator, but the seller was quick to make things right.

Great Unit!!! But jack barrel input is center positive

For MIDI MERGER / SPLITTER 2in->10out Thru PCB or Kit

Great Unit!!! But jack barrel input is center positive, it should be mentioned as i almost burned the L7805 before i noticed.
Overall great unit.

Awesome

For MIDI Thru 1in -> 4out splitter PCB or a Kit

This was my entry into soldering, although I have some background. Amazing first build and saved me some loot, aside from the fact that now I want to go deeper down the rabbit hole! Thanks for cool design and hassle free first experience!

Good product, vague instructions.

For MIDI Thru 1in -> 10out splitter PCB or a Kit

Great product, works exactly how I need it to. I use it to control all of my synths. Managed to put the whole thing together pretty quick. I would consider it a beginner project, except it lacks in the documentation side of things.
The instructions are quite vague and I feel there should be a diagram showing you what to do. I had to look at a picture of the finished project online to help me through it.
The piece of paper with instructions I received did not mention if you get the USB powered version you need to solder pin 1 to pin 3 where there is an empty space. So if you get the usb power version make sure you do this! ;)

I decided to make it rack-mount, so I purchased a blank 1U panel and drilled holes, then mounted 5-pin midi connectors to the front and painted it. I hot-glued the PCB to the back of the panel and now it's quite a nice piece of kit. If you do this, keep in mind MIDI only uses 3 of the 5 pins, so don't bother wiring up all 5. I think just pins 2, 3 and 4 are necessary. With 3 being the shielded ground.

Nice product, quite happy :)

Great price, fun project

For MIDI Thru 1in -> 10out splitter PCB or a Kit

Using this to solve a common problem, syncing all my gear. Midi splitters are kind of expensive and often only 4 ports, so this 10 port splitter for not much dough is a great deal.

Putting it together is fun, but could use some documentation. As a first timer I found the bill of materials barely enough information to put it together. I would have appreciated some hand holding especially with identifying polarity of diodes.

This is a beginner project but does not have beginner guidance.

Overall happy with what I have. Figuring out a case for it is my next goal.
