midi patch bay?

any such thing? this is why i ask.

I have my keyboard connected to my mpc via midi. im waitin to recieve my Roland M-BD1. It has midi ins and outs/thru. How am I going to be able to play the sounds it has on it? i have to use my keyboard right? so i figure id have to connect it to my keyboard via midi AND to my mpc. i might be wrong.....but is there anything that works like a patch bay, but for midi so I can have all my midi instruments/rack mounts connected at the same time and routed to where I need it?

and am I thinkin in the right direction on how to connect the roland so I can use it properly? if not how would I connect it so I can use it? please help thanks

Each instrument can be on a different channel.

aight how bout this. somebody tell me if THIS will work..........

MPC out > Keyboard in
Keyboard out > Module in
Module thru > MPC in

would this setup allow me to use my synth module, keyboard and mpc with no problems?

Please let me know...

Keyboard out > MPC in
Keyboard in > Modules thru
MPC out > Modules in

Keyboard will control itself, MPC, Sound Module
MPC will be controlled by key and controll key and sound mod
sound mod will be controlled by mpc and its thru will send mpc's info (which is keyboard performance data) to the keyboard
I would make keyboards in (channel 1a) and sound module (channel 2a)

you know, thats all I was lookin for. u da man.

thanks
