I'm using my Korg Extreme (midi from the OUT) going to midi IN on a Presonus 44VSL interface. This alows me to record using everything about the Korg as it is, or, also as a controller for everything there is in the 'instruments' section of my Studio One 2 DAW. It is quite convenient. Is it possible to add another workstation into the mix to act exactly as the first keyboard does? How & where to connect the midi cables- Or the next best scenario?

With a single MIDI input port, the 44VSL can handle only one device.
Nowadays, it is likely that a keyboard has built-in USB. If not, you can use a USB/MIDI interface cable to get a second MIDI IN.

Remember friend, I'm new at all this. One keyboard has two usb ports, the other keyboard has one. The interface doesnt have a regular usb port. If you are saying the usb ports will resolve my query, could you please tell me where exactly to connect to what? Apr 1, 2015 at 18:36

2@eagerbeginner If your keyboards have USB connection you can connect them directly to your computer, you don't need an interface. Like any other USB device: mouse, printer, scanner, etc. Grab an USB cable and connect one end to your keyboard and the other end to your computer. Repeat with your other keyboard, and you are done.– NPN328Apr 1, 2015 at 19:16
