Introduction
TRS Bridge is a midi router, merger and splitter with four TRS-style inputs and four TRS
outputs.
MIDI messages received at the inputs can be forwarded to one or multiple MIDI outputs.
Similarly each of the outputs can receive MIDI messages from one or multiple inputs.
TRS Bridge can set these routes in a simple modes for all types of MIDI messages, but it
is also possible to route different kinds of messages differently:
Note and controller data
These are all the midi messages that can be merged without any issues. If two devices
send midi at the same time, data will be interleaved and sent to the receiving device.
Clock Data
Clock data can not be merged, only one midi clock stream can be used at a time. When
changing the routing, TRS Bridge makes sure that each output only receives clock from a
single input.
Sysex data
Sysex data is even trickier to handle than clock data, because sysex messages can have
an arbitrary length. if multiple sysex streams are received simultaneously, USB bridge A
buffers the data and will forward it to the receiver as soon as possible. This way sysex
messages are merged as well.

User interface
TRS-Bridge features four MIDI inputs at the top, and four MIDI outputs at the bottom. Each
of the channels has a multicolor LED and a button associated with them. In this manual we
will use terminology such as "input 4 LED" or "output 2 button".
Color coding
TRS-Bridge uses color coding to show different kinds of MIDI messages, being able to see
colors is however not nessesary to use TRS-Bridge.
Note/CC: Notes, MIDI CC, Pitch Bend, as well as other kinds of MIDI messages that do
not fall in the following categories are shown in RED.
Clock: MIDI Clock, Start, Stop, Continue and 'transport' messages are shown in BLUE.
Sysex: Sysex Messages are shown in YELLOW.
If multiple kinds of messages are displayed, the colors are mixed in a mostly additive
manner:
Notes + Clock (RED + BLUE) = PURPLE
Notes + Sysex (RED + YELLOW) = ORANGE
Clock + Sysex (BLUE + YELLOW) = GREEN
Notes + Clock + Sysex = WHITE
