Why?

I have lots of keyboards.

I send the output of band in a box to a mixer.

I send my keyboards to the mixer.

I mix.

The mixer hooks via usb to the computer.

I do have the gizmo spoken about, that's to get the midi from my computer (band in a boite) to the Ketron SD2 or my JV1010. Then they go to the mixer.

In my thinking you are better to get a mixer like a small Behringer.

I'd get both, but I find that playing through the computer is a pain in the a%% and I am somewhat of a higher end pianist, done lots of fancy spots solo, hotel lobbies are my favorite, but that's a dead end gig now.
