Mixing BLE and Hardware MIDI, MID thru?

[lukewakeford]

Is it possible to mix BLE Midi and Hardware MIDI with this library?
I saw it mentioned that midi thru is disabled for transports - I also see the constant here:

Arduino-BLE-MIDI/src/BLEMIDI_Transport.h

Line 55 in 929c2fc

static const bool thruActivated = false;

Is it correct that midi thru is isolated to an individual 'transport'?

I have been able to init two midi instances

MIDI_CREATE_INSTANCE(HardwareSerial, Serial1, MIDI);
BLEMIDI_CREATE_INSTANCE("BLE MIDI", MIDIBT);

and get them both to do some work

MIDIBT.setHandleControlChange(handleControlChange);
MIDIBT.begin(midiChannel);
MIDI.setHandleControlChange(handleControlChange);
MIDI.begin(midiChannel);

At a minimum i'd like to be able to pass the BLE messages thru to the Hardware out - is this possible without writing lots. of boilerplate?

For some more context, my project is part of my guitar pedal board, it receives control changes from a hardware midi controller at the moment.
I would now like to be able to pass clock changes from an iPad (BLE) back to the controller and onward to the other hardware on my board.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Ok so I found an example here, for merging sources like this we can just forward messages to another instance

if (midiA.read())
{
    // Thru on A has already pushed the input message to out A.
    // Forward the message to out B as well.
    midiB.send(midiA.getType(),
               midiA.getData1(),
               midiA.getData2(),
               midiA.getChannel());
}
