Good evening!

Semi-new to the USB MIDI thing... I have many DIN devices, splitters, adapters, etc....

Trying to connect a USB keyboard to my PC, and have (2) softwares listen to the notes. 
One software is a DMX Light controller software (MyDMX), and the other is a DAW (Digital Performer 9). 
Want to be able to 'play' my lighting scenes as I'm listening to pre-recorded music in my DAW, and (record) the MIDI notes at the same time. 
This will allow DAW (playback) to control my lighting scenes as recorded. 

If I can design my scenes, assign them MIDI notes to trigger them (works), I should be able to get my DAW to record the notes as I'm playing. 

I cannot seem to get both the DAW software AND the DMX software to see my MIDI notes. Grr....

Anyone out there run into this implementation and found a solution?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Jeff    The only advice I can offer is to try daisy chain  from the out port ( DIN socket) of the device connected to the usb . I have previously connected  2 keyboards together this way
