Daisy Chain of MIDI

Have you tried it?

I'm not a MIDI Expert, but as I understood it, GB listens on all MIDI channels, so if you can connect more than 1 device to your computer, GB should use them (all on one track, of course, as you're apparently aware).

If you have tried it and it didn't work, hang tight, we have several folks here very well versed in MIDI (2 are overseas, so they might be in the middle of late dinners, or something)

Always a good plan to ask before burning cash.

I'm pretty sure it will work (I recall people posting in the past, being confused because they had hooked up multiple devices thinking they could record multiple MIDI tracks and being disappointed because it all recorded on one), but hang tight, Christoph, Roger, and X are just 3 of the folks around here that I know are very well versed in MIDI, and they'll likely pass through at some point (Germany, UK, and Mid West US time zones)

I can't see why it shouldn't work. But don't charge me for your cables if it doesn't ... 🙂

In theory you can chain MIDI devices as you describe (ideally putting each on a different channel).

However your Evolution and Radium keyboards do not, as far as I can see, have MIDI inputs, only outputs. The Yamaha drum machine has an input, but this may only be in, not through. Devices which can be chained usually have MIDI in, out and through (the 'through' does not play the device if it has its own sounds, and the 'in' does not pass through).

So you cannot chain your current setup: probably most keyboards wthout sounds don't offer this facility - it's usually where a device has its own sounds.

And as has been pointed out by yourself and HangTime, even if you chain a number of keyboards, they can only play one instrument on GB.
