Molten Voltage MIDI Splitty

The Molten Voltage MIDI Splitty is a pedalboard MIDI splitter and repeater. It is designed to amplify, buffer and repeat MIDI signals, which matters on a large board where long cable runs and several MIDI devices can weaken the signal coming from a single controller. One MIDI input goes in, and multiple buffered MIDI outputs carry the signal out to the rest of the rig¹.

What it does

The Splitty takes the MIDI output of any controller and repeats it to several devices at once. Molten Voltage describes the outputs as "well-buffered and ultra-solid MIDI outputs", three on the 1 IN 3 THRU version and four on the 1 IN 4 THRU version¹. Because the unit amplifies and buffers the signal, it is aimed at extended cable runs and boards with multiple MIDI devices, where a plain passive split can become unreliable¹.

Versions

Construction and status

The unit uses metal jacks, and Molten Voltage notes that these require hand-wiring of the whole MIDI Splitty¹. The company's own manuals identify it as the "MIDI SPLITTY - Pedalboard MIDI Splitter/Repeater"², and it appears alongside other Molten Voltage MIDI utilities such as the Molten MIDI T and the MIDI Delaytion controller³.
