Do an internet search on the term "midi merger" and you'll find there are other manufacturers offering similar products.

I was thinking about this device for merging MIDI inputs from the Nextar Impact LX49 and Alesis QS88, but I don't see how it can be connected properly...as the LX49 doesn't have a MIDI port, it connects to the computer with a MIDI/USB adapter cable...
