And please note that you do not need an M patch box. It is a trivial piece of wiring together of DIN sockets in parallel. You would only need one connector to link two 5 pin (male) DIN plugs together and these 'joiners' (two 5 pin female sockets joined together in a single housing) are widely available, at least on line.

Just watch carefully which component you designate as the 'Controller' and which are non-Controllers. In theory you can just set each component to 'Auto' and let the links sort themselves out, but I have always found manual designations better (read your M user guides).
