I'm no expert, but I remember when I tried some while back to use more than one interface at the same time, I had serious issues, primarily timing and conflicts which meant signals at times weren't going through and parts of the set-up didn't work.
But then, that was a few years ago and no doubt software and hardware has improved some since then. I've used a Midisport 4x4 for years since then [both with a hardware and software sequencer - you can use it with USB or standalone as a router] and it's served me well.

It's woefully out of date, and I'll need some sort of midi router to replace my 4 X 4 ISA card (ISA? What's that...). Anyway, one option would be to get an 8X rack mount router with USB interface, though these seem to be a bit thin on the ground as of late.What I have noticed is a lot of MIDI-to-USB dongles cropping up. Would a bunch of these operating into a USB hub be a proper substitute, given the proper software (if it exists)?
