	Not that this will be any help, but I have the same problem with a home
made MIDI splitter driving an ESQ-1. Dropped notes etc. But if I patch
it after going thru another keyboard's thru, it works fine. And I don't
have any (intentional) ground connections in the splitter. Never looked
into it more after I found the quick "fix"...
