will my keyboard work?

[mcl116]

I just got a midi keyboard, only thing is it only came with a usb wire (which powers it). The problem is my external hard drive and interface (presonus audiobox) use both the usb ports on my comp.

If I'm not recording using mics through my interface, can I just take the interface out of my computer and plug the keyboard in or will my recording program not read it? thanks!

heres a better option...

i don't know if presonus requires an interface to be plugged in for use, but i have protools and know that it does. But here is an easy solution, run to best buy or wallmart and get a usb hub. u can get a 4 port hub for under 15 bucks easy and it gives you four extra ports.
