Two Midi Controllers one Motif-Rack XS?
Is there anyway to use two keyboards with one module? or do I need two modules for two keyboards?
You can hook multiple keyboards up to one module if you get a MIDI merger. Here's one that merges two MIDI inputs to one MIDI output:

A company called Anatek used to make mergers as well and you can sometimes find them on eBay very inexpensively. You could also look for a MIDI patchbay if you have a complex setup, they often include a merge feature.
