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.
