Erica Synths’ MIDI Dispatch is the new “command centre of your studio setup”Erica Synths’ new MIDI Dispatch acts as a “command centre” for your studio, and is the successor to its MIDI Thru Box.
The MIDI Thru Box was Erica Synths’ first-ever desktop unit, and this new, upgraded version offers improved functionality including a USB-C MIDI interface. The brand says that essentially, the MIDI Dispatch is an ultra-low latency splitter from one MIDI input to eight outputs, with advanced MIDI filtering options.

The MIDI Dispatch lets you connect up to eight instruments to your MIDI keyboard, sequencer, and directly to your laptop via USB-C. You can configure each output separately for improved flexibility in the studio or a live setting.
Take a look at the demo video below to see how it can be implemented into your studio space:

In other news from Erica Synths, the brand recently revived the Formant – a modular analogue synth you could only build by following circuit diagrams from Elektor, an electronics-themed magazine from the 1970s.
Erica Synths has turned it into a modern DIY kit, and to promote its launch, it teamed up with British musician and YouTuber, Look Mum No Computer (aka Sam Battle) to preview the updated Formant at a live soldering marathon that took place at Battle’s This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete museum.
Earlier this year, Erica Synths also offered the first glimpse of its HEXDRUMS – an analogue drum machine made in collaboration with Canadian Eurorack module manufacturer, Hexinverter. In 2022, the company announced its closure, and Erica Synths later took over its catalogue. The brand has since re-released a number of its products, namely its drum modules.
The MIDI Dispatch is available now for €125.00. You can learn more or buy now directly from Erica Synths.
