I have the Edirol usb gizmo, one usb plug and midi out and midi in.

Plug that into the laptop.

And into the Ketron.

The audio out from the Ketron goes to the mixer.

One then uses the Opt. Midi setup. Edirol will be there if it is plugged in before the program is fired up.

Now when you chose midi through it will emulate whatever patch you wish.

If you have room on your mixer you can also jack out the audio to your mixer and play multiple 'layers' of sound.

I do not capture midi data, I've almost never had to enter whatever into the computer because it either exists or can be found elsewhere and imported.

It is my contention that if you can play it into the computer as midi data, why do you want to do that instead of playing it 'live'.

I know everyone's workflow is different, but when I first started out I tried that route and then left it alone, it was not worth the effort.
