[sdiy] MIDI question: sort of OT, but I dunno where to ask really

I just got a Roland MKS-50 for my birthday, and yes, it totally rocks.

Right now I just have my Novation mm10-X MIDI controller kyboard connected 
to it, but I'd like to be able to program my Yamaha QY-10 sequencer via the 
Novation and then play a track or 2 through the MKS-50.

So here's the dilemma: the Novation has just 1 MIDI-Out, the MKS-50 has 
MIDI-In, -Out, -Thru and the QY-10 has -IN & -Out: I want to be able to send 
output from both the mm10-X and the QY-10.

Is there a simple and cheap way to do this?

Eventually I want to use a PC to run editor software (because I can't really 
afford a PG-300 right now), and that would be another whole mess of 
connections to make.

I've looked a little on the MIDIbox website and I think they have a simple 
DIY merger, but I might want something more robust in the long run.

Ideas?
