How to use midi maestro to control beat buddy, Aeros AND another device?

I have my set up as follows….

Midi maestro—> beat buddy —> Aeros. But also want to use the midi maestro to send midi to Strymon Bigsky MX but there is only one midi out on the midi maestro. So how can I add the bigsky?

There is a midi out port on the Aeros. You could connect that to the midi in on your Strymon. I have basically the same setup as you but I have an amp connected to the midi out on the Aeros. I set up a custom mode on the MM that allows me to switch settings on the amp using the footswitch and it works like a charm. This allowed me to ditch the original footswitch that came with the amp, simplifying my rig while increasing the number of amp settings that I could control with the MM footswitch.

You should be able to do something similar with the Strymon. Just make sure the midi out behaviour on the Aeros is set to midi thru.
