    MIDI is MIDI, that is, just data. If the connections work, you should be able to use it as a controller.

    If you are saying you want to use your existing jxsp to trigger soft synths live.... you only need one cable going out from the jxsp to the DAW with the software. As long as the hardware synth (jxsp) has midi out, you can use it all day long as a midi controller. I use a Yamaha DX-27S for that purpose....and I do not like or use the DX27S internal sounds. 

    This is actually how I have it set up in my studio. I do not return the midi to the hardware synth because I like the softsynth sounds sooooooo much better.

    MIDI Thru is if you want to send the data to another synth.
