Everything works perfectly!! That's what MIDI was designed to do. Control 16 different synths using 16 MIDI channels all through one cable.
Here is a photo of my studio setup:
And here is a flow diagram of my MIDI connections. I do everything by using simple Merge and Thru boxes along with the Thru outputs of the synths that have them.

Sick setup!!
Oh, so you need multiple other merger /etc boxes to pull this off? Not sure how this simplifies things versus just having a larger I/o midi interface and everything connected in there?
