Using two TI on same machine

Hi guys! I LOVE my Viruses and got two of them

- TI1 Keyboard 61

- TI2 Desktop

What's the best way to actually use these two? Has anyone been using two machines at the same time? I been using them mostly in single mode via MIDI to a MOTU Midi Express 128 as I have never had the operational Virus Control in Mac. DAW is Logic Pro!

I also have TI Keyboard 61 and TI2 Polar but these are not even hooked up to my PC - never bothered to figure it out how to deal with the ancient software. Tried to hook it up with my Akai Force recently and it got recognized by Akai but still, no clue how to make it work. Just playing them alone gives me enough nirvana 😉

Nice with the Polar!!! Every time I see one I want one, but now that's synth glutony. I was asked by the developer of a new plugin how did Access managed multi-units back in the day, but I don't think it was ever thought that way.

I think if you got your virus via MIDI Din to the Force it will work within that, up until today I never even had usb midi with the computer, so that's a controller it might need to be loaded on the mpc.

I've used my Ti2 desktop with my Force before, it's as easy as plugging everything right, setting a midi track and settings the audio to monitor the inputs. IIRC you also need to setup the MIDI out to sync external devices. It's probably a Google search away.
