For me, I prefer to use USB when possible. I’m not sure which devices in your diagram have USB capabilities. But USB with a powered hub into the BomeBox USB host port would be a good idea. Again, when you move things between BomeBox and and MT Pro, the names reported by BomeBox and your computer may end up being different which is the key reasons for using MIDI aliases. You just assign the alias to the physical device name on that platform and then you are done. You don’t have to weed through all devices (if you have many) and change anything else in your project file.
Since the latest project file I supported called out ‘BomeBox DIN’, if you move to USB, it will no longer work as that would not be an alias. Rather call it ‘Numa Organ’ and point the alias to BomeBox DIN if it is on the MIDI DIN port or point it to the USB reported alias if if is connected via USB.
Aliases are useful if you move things around to avoid a lot of rework. They also make it easier in the project file to what you are doing in the project.
