    Just a small heads up that the two F1's won't work together if both are set in MIDI Mode.

    If you have a thunderbolt connector on your laptop they also make thunderbolt to USB dongles.

    If you go with a USB hub it is generally recommended to plug your audio devices directly into your USB ports and plug any other USB or midi devices in the USB hub. The reason being is when using a USB hub that port is splitting its bandwidth among the devices on the hub.

    Can't you change one to a different channel or something?
