WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

They should work simultaneusly with no problems, AFAIK.

You don't tell anything about your routing.
Are both the hardware USB? Have you tried different ports?

Do you have the newest Tascam drivers? What driver mode are you using (MME, WDM, ASIO)?

What have you chosen as track inputs etc?

I think your right, You have to choose a MIDI input, there is no multiple choice. We used to have to use a MIDI merge box.

I'm not at my DAW right now, but if I'm not mistaken, you can choose "All Inputs->Omni" as the input MIDI source which should accept any MIDI inputs attached and setup properly.

I have multiple input devices and they all talk to my system if "Omni" (or even "NONE" which is omni) is chosen.

Am I missing something here?

Yea, not sure what he is trying to do - inputs to this 2 hardware units I read as outputs from.  He is trying to control two different softsynths from different hardware controllers at once.  In that case, each of the hardware units should be set to a different midi channel and each of the soft synths set to recieve a different channel.  But I'm guessing.

I don't know what I doing  wrong Or right with this I load lets say 2 synths ( Roland Groove And Dim Pro)... I have 2 different inputs 1 to my keyboard (Casio 61 keys) & my DR-670 why I can't work both @ the same time
and not just that SON8.5 stop responding most time I' edit its slowing down my process which makes me lose time is there anyone in The Cakewalk Universe that can help me on explain to me in layman's term to get close to what i need or requireing     and thanks in advance
oh & p.s. I not good with some terms laugh but don't bust my balls plse 

Could you give more details to what you're trying to do, I could probably help but I don't understand your questions.

There are 6 midi ports on my computer and I can record six MIDI tracks simultaneously along with 16 to 20 audio tracks.

Do you want to use your hardware (Casio and DR-670) as playback devices along with softsynth (Dim pro) or as recording devices?

Please help me help you.

your're missing that I was wondering the 2 programs would work together with separate instruments

thanks

Casio keyboards don't normally output sequenced ( loops)  material. You would have to use the audio outputs to record the built in loops and sequences.
Just last year someone brought one into the studio and we found that out after reading the manual etc. The MIDI port only outputs live keystrokes.
Unless something has changed very recently with their products.
