You would not hook the 49 to the interface. It would connect "in addition to" the M-Audio interface. You would need to plug it in to a different USB port. Hopefully, the computer has a few spare USB ports on it that are not being used. I don't think USB hubs are advised though.

Once connected, it should show up as an input option for MIDI in the MIDI drop downs. You can select the midi device in the track inspector and route it to your synth. The M-Audio will provide the audio output without any problems. I'm thinking in terms of a DAW.... I never use MIDI and synths in BB or RB. But it should work the same exact way with BB/RB if you elect to use MIDI in either.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
