Hold on there.

BIAB can only address one MIDI output port at a time.

Yes, you could use two USB MIDI connects, or a single USB MIDI connect that has two ports on it, like the M-Audio Duo or the like.

BUT -- you will also have to use a third party MIDI routing software, a virtual MIDI cable, to connect BIAB to the two different ports simultaneously. This can be done rather easily, although one has to remember to start up the Virtual MIDI Port software before starting up BIAB.

There are free Virtual MIDI ports available, such as "LoopBe1" or "Hubi's Loopback" or "Maple" -- do a websearch.

Once installed, you should see the Virtual MIDI port available inside the BIAB MIDI Output window. Highlight it.

Then use the Control Panel for the Virtual MIDI cable to route to the two hardware MIDi ports.

Channel assignment should be handled within BIAB.

As Silvertones has pointed out, a simple paralleled MIDI Y cable can do the trick with no software other than BIAB involved, but I've never seen one ready made for sale. Maybe there is one somewhere, dunno, it is a simple enough matter to solder or splice one together and in reality, that is what a MIDI Thru jack really is, paralleled connect to the Input. If that doesn't click for you, use the software plus two USB method or find someone handy with electronics and soldering to make you up a MIDi Y cable. Have them make TWO at the same time, so you have a spare.
