Matt is correct. Splitting the signal from a single Midi output by
adding a second pair 
of cables seems suspicious to me. First, your cutting the signal
strength in half which 
could add problems all it's own. Second, your allowing no more
information down the 
sum of these now "TWO" Midi cables then you originaly had. And,unless
your feeding 
to two seperate destinations and avoiding a through at some point,
there is no 
advantage that I can think of.
