With only one synth per port you will be enjoying timing accuracy of 1 mS which is all it takes to send a midi note on. Talking to devices is as simple as parking yourself on any tracks in Studio One that are assigned to it and you are instantly playing it. When you have got all your hardware connected on their own port they are not dependant on each other at all. There is something in there that would work I am sure. On Mac you just need to find something that can still work second hand or look into say a MOTU device.
#Motu midi patchbay 64 Bit
A second hand Steinberg Midex 8 which has Win7 64 bit drivers for it or the current MOTU midi interfaces. I am on PC and Win 7 64 bit but there are two interfaces that can do the job.
You may get by with a nice 4/5 port interface. I have got 8 pieces of hardware connected so I need 8 midi out ports.
I feel having just one single midi interface connected is the way to go. Devices become too dependent on other devices to work. You can get into trouble running some devices off midi from other devices etc. It is not better than midi for the way you are talking to these devices. Although some devices use USB as their means of communication there is also no need to use it either. The trick is to get a midi interface that has multiple midi output ports and can handle the instruments you have plus possible further expansion. I am a fan of connecting multiple midi devices all by midi and then only having a single midi interface connected to your computer.
