Paste or Merge *.oxm Maps?

Hi,
I want to use several translation maps, some to be switched on and off by prg. changes (e.g. key transpose, drum sets, midi channel transpose..) others fix (e.g. velocity correction). As I also want to use different midi devices in parallel, I currently have to open lots of MIDI-Ox instances. Finally they are limited to 8.
It would be very helpful, if in one instance more than one *.oxm file could be activated (e.g. by a paste function).
A current (unconvenient) solution would be to add all kinds of possible combinations in the library (transp2_veloc5_ch2to4_drum1.oxm, etc.) . In that case an external merge of different *.oxm files from the library would save lots of manual typing. Or is there any way to convert *.oxm to text and back to do this with a standard text editor?
Thanks

Limited to 8? Why? Are you referring to the maximum number of MIDI Yoke ports?

Have you overlooked the fact you can assign a .oxm map to each input - output port routing in Port Mapping? You may not even need to use multiple instances at all if you set your routings up.

Maps can be saved and loaded as .txm (text map) files as well as .oxm. Text maps can be edited with any text editor and combined or split.

Yes; every instance needs at least one connection which cost one midi-yoke.

Yes, but there can be used only one map at a time (as far as I understood). If there is no further instance available (all yokes spent), the only way seems to be the combination-maps I mentioned.

The map to text feature is exactly what I meant. I should read the manual better. Great!
Thanks
