Basic MIDI configuration question

[skim]

The question is so basic that I didn't know how to search for it - so here goes.

I have a USB/MIDI interface that has 2in/2out (it's a MOTU Fastlane).

I have two MIDI devices - a keyboard (Korg SP-100) and a synth module (a Roland).

I use ProTools on a Mac (am I welcome here?)

I want to use the Korg keyboard to trigger the Roland module, but I want the MIDI data to be sent to ProTools at the same time.

I also want to send MIDI data to/from ProTools to the Korg keyboard.

Thanks for humoring my request.

Steve.

Update -

So I've done some reading on the Thru. Cool.

Looks like I need to go keyboard OUT to synth module IN, then synth module OUT/THRU to my MIDI interface IN.

The thing is, though, my USB interface (Fastlane) has two MIDI IN/OUT pairs. I'd like to leverage that and register both devices (the Korg keyboard and Roland synth module) as separate MIDI devices.

So for starters I'd like to plug in my Korg keyboard into MIDI interface A, and my Roland synth module into MIDI interface B.

Where do I go from here, if I want the keyboard to trigger the synth module?

Solved...

The question is solved -

I plugged my Korg keyboard into MIDI interface A, and the Roland synth module into interface B (on my Fastlane USB/MIDI interface).

In ProTools, I simply routed the MIDI signal from the Korg to the Roland.

Thanks for listening while I waved my hands.

Glad to hear you can solve it
