Hi!

Currently I have 3 MIDI modules.

Each module has a USB-MIDI Cable:

Also I have the audio cables ( I have these 2 types of cables) and

The problem is that I can only connect a MIDI module each time, I wanted to have 3 midi module ever online on my computer and choose the one I need at the time.

To say that my computer has only one audio input / audio.
How could I do? ... What I need?

Thank you very much!

You either Daisy-Chain your modules or use three USB adapters at different virtual ports.
An external mixer for the three audio sources would also be appropriate.

You might want to buy a small MIDI router and a small audio mixer.

A better and more expensive solution is to use a midi thru box and a sound mixer. Here is my current setup:

The Kenton Thru-5 box takes one midi source and splits it in 5 , so all my modules have a midi signal. That way you can power on/off them at will, you are no longer depending on their "midi thru" port in the back that needs the unit powered to pass data to the next daisy chained one.
Then it's just a matter of using a mixer and/or an audio selector box and listen to whatever device you want easily.
