The Swissonic (I think a Thomann OEM brand) I got had the "USB/MIDI
through" switch working the other way round than printed.  It also had
the cable/connector shields miswired according to Midi standards and
thus created a ground loop with the USB, thwarting the optical isolation
of Midi.  It also had the SysEx problem.

I might have gotten an early Monday model.  Had to retire it eventually.
