MIDI interface with 16+ software ports?
I'm looking for a MIDI interface device with 1 MIDI DIN input (or more but only 1 needed) and 16+ software ports exposed to the USB host. These only need to be duplicates of the DIN MIDI input. Does anyone know of any products like this?
Ideally this thing would just have a USB plug and a DIN port but I could live with a little extra functionality if it did what I needed it to do.

Hmmm, I fail to see the practical point here?!
Isn't it enough to route and filter the incoming midi to the target apps/plug-ins using something like AUM?
It seems unlikely that a hardware box would do that. MidiFire can create a number of virtual midi ports.
MPC hardware has a ridiculous MIDI bug where MIDI note off on any incoming channel will kill that note on ALL channels -- been around for years through many major releases and the MPC3 update still has it. It doesn't kill notes across different ports (just across channels within each port) so if I can get the same information coming in on 16 ports, I can have 16 channels of sequenced multitimbral MIDI that doesn't kill each others notes, on a £1000 'pro audio' device.
Hopefully You've made AKAI well aware of this by now?
Maybe they are too focused on selling sample packs and ignore external midi-usage completely?!
With this kind midi-bug present they should honestly remove midi from the marketing lingo completely until it's fixed, sounds like it's pretty much unusable with everything related to external midi...
There's basically a movement out there to get this fixed lol, I've spoken to them loads and they've reproduced it apparently, but it still persists.
Example of a device which does this to some degree is the CME U6MIDI Pro:
So with this I can route 1 DIN input to 3 different ports on the host USB. Ideally though I'd want 16 ports per channel. I wouldn't have thought this is a feature that gets advertised but if anyone has seen a USB MIDI device about that does this then let me know please.
You can also use a midi controller with DIN midi as a bridge for USB midi along with a USB hub with 16 USB ports. For example Arturia Keystep or Launchpad pro both have MIDI DIN. I route everything in AUM or Drambo. The other benefit is I also use the keystep pro as a CV<->MIDI converter since it supports CV.
Another option is to build your own with a raspberry pi if you’re into DIY. You can google examples of that.
Edit: you don’t need the USB hub if you don’t want to route to other hardware with USB MIDI. You can directly connect the keyboard to the iPad and route MIDI to different apps.
