connecting 2 synths

hi people,

i've got a noob question for you. i am making my music with vst so i didn't care about this but now i have to know how to connect it. soon i will have a virus ti snow and a little phatty 2, but i don't know how to connect them both. i searched for an audio interface like from m-audio fast track pro but they got only 1x1 midi so i can't connect both, right ? so do i need a mixer ? something with 2x2 midi ? i don't want to use them with usb...thx for help.

Yes, if you want to use them both at once and don't want to use USB, then you will need two MIDI outs on your interface.

If you only want to use one of them as a MIDI-IN keyboard, then you can daisy-chain the two synths. Let's say you're using the TI snow as your master keyboard:

Computer's MIDI-OUT to Virus MIDI-IN
Virus MIDI-OUT to Computer's MIDI-IN
Virus MIDI-THRU to Phatty MIDI-IN

Then you set the two synths up so they're on different MIDI channels.

Of course, if you just want to use them to play MIDI, and you already have a master keyboard, connect your master keyboard to the Computer's MIDI-IN and leave the other synths daisy-chained as above (Virus THRU to Phatty IN).
