If you run 14 MIDI devices through one MIDI Port using 
MIDI Thru Boxes you get a worse timing compared
to using a multiple Output Interfaces like
the Steinberg Midex 8 oder the Midiman Midisport 8x8.

But I don't know if there is a 8x8 Interface with Linux drivers.

All of them implement a feature to reduce latency and I think
that's a problem for the driver developers because the companies
don't want to show the specifications for that in public.

Joachim

PS: I added the Linux-Audio-User group to the cc because this
is linux specific question.
