Two keyboards one soundcard game port -ACID Product Family

Subject:Two keyboards one soundcard game port Posted by: makodog Date:8/2/2003 12:10:03 PM I have a keyboard that has no midi thru. I would like to add a new keyboard and use both when recording on acid. I am currently running a midi cable into the back of soundcard via the game port. Does anybody know of a product that will take both keyboards midi cables and reduce them to one input into the back of the soundcard? I guess it would be a hub which would accept both midi in and out from both keyboards and reduce it to the game port adapter that would plug into the back of the soundcard. I am not even sure if this product exists or not. My alternative I guess would be a new soundcard with 2 midi ins and outs, but what if I add a third keyboard :) ?
