can you use it, with 2 midi controllers simultaneously, and send both signals into a computer?

I am pretty darn sure you can - Youshould go to the app store (if using iOS) and check out the config app. I have not done this but this thing is configurable in out up down and sideways! pretty much what you plug in there - you tell it what to do and if the controllers are able to be individually set to separate midi channels somehow independently then YES. I have a couple controllers going into mine and one is playing iPad synths and the other reason synths. Hope this helps. If you have the loot I'd get the newer model with more midi and I think lightning instead of older 30 pin...yadaa yadaa

Yes you can. Both actually. If it connects via midi you can hook it right into the maschine. If it connects via USB then just plug it into your computer and the software will pick it up. Just go to audio and midi settings and make sure your keyboards input is turned on.

You can connect this unit to your computer using the USB cable - it'll function as a MIDI controller for your favorite computer software to get even more functionality

Has to be through a computer or iPad. It's designed for DAWs like Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, Logic Pro, etc. This is a midi controller, not a traditional keyboard/synth.

You can hook up a mic and a guitar at the same time. There is no MIDI interface, but I am assuming that you, like almost everyone, are using USB for the controller. In that case, you can use your controller with a mic simultaneously. In fact, you can connect two inputs on top the controller (assuming USB). You cannot connect the MIDI controller to the FT Pro, though, because the controller has no sound output - it's just a bunch of switches.

I'm using a ASUS laptop and have no problems. It must be Windows 7 and have at least 2 GHZ (Gigahertz). I don't use a midi so I can't answer that. The guy below is giving another similar response to that question.

I use it with a mac - it sends standard midi controller messages over usb to either platform.

I agree with Russell R. Yes you can send Midi no problem and you can add 2 foot switches to it and an expression pedal.

I believe it can be. I know for a fact that you can use multiple of them at once but you might have to connect them separately via USB. However they have Midi in and out, so it may be possible through that!

From what I understand, you can attach as many as you have free USB ports (not into a USB hub but straight in to computer) or up to 2 additional via the midi ports on the units themselves.

Honestly, I don't think you will get the best quality sound running both at the same time, but it works great when only one audio source is playing at a time. I've never tried to two audio sources playing at the same time, but when it has happened, it's sounded fuzzy. You might need something built more toward music production that this.

Absolutely. It does have one midi in port. I can trigger this synth with any controller that has a midi out including my DAW.

Hi, yes to some extent, you can use "Layer" mode to simultaneously play two sounds at once, any sound can be stacked with another sound from a different category bank. But there is n o way to adjust the balance between layered sounds, so that is a bit of a bummer. Let us know if you have any other questions we can answer for you! The Midi Store

Yes, you can. Kind of the point of a usb MIDI controller. Works with all the DAWs I've tried on (ie Ableton and FL).

Richard: I just tested this Midi cable running a laptop with Windows 8 64-bit and a Casio LK-55 Keyboard. I'm pleased to tell you that it does work just fine.

Yes you would just need the midi to usb or whatever port is on your hardware could be usb to usb.

Yes, you can use this to trigger anything that receives a USB Midi signal. Literally anything that is a Midi Mappable trigger or on/off setup. So if you wanted to you could set each switch to a different 808 Drum, 1 for Kick, 2nd for clap, and 3rd for hi-hat... If you so desire.
