Hi Phil:

One is only a module, and needs to be accessed through the other keyboard. 
That's why I was wondering if I actually need an interface if I'm using the 
keyboard with the comp, and just accessing the module through the keyboard.

  May be best to get a MIDI interface as you can then have both keyboards 
connected to the PC at the same time, and you won't have to unplug and replug 
anything.  Pre-amps are hardware.  You would usually plug microphones into them 
and obviously, can be used ether with PC's or, Mac's.

    Hello All:

    I have a question about a setup, and another one about recording.

    1. I'm using a Roland Fantom X keyboard via USB with Sonar. I just picked 
up a roland xv5080 module and want to access and play its sounds through my 
Fantom. Can I still keep the Fantom connected to the comp via USB and access 
the xv5080's sounds through Sonar if i have it running via midi through the 
Fantom, or am I going to have to buy a midi interface and run both devices 
through that?

    2. Often times, I hear people who use a Mac to record their stuff say that 
they run their material through a pre amp to get the material sounding fatter, 
(especially the kick.) Are pre amps also accessible for pc users, or do we have 
something similar and comporable?

    Thanks for all help.
