You need a multiport USB / MIDI interface.
I would recommend the Midisport 8x8 (see link below for details).
It will allow 8 independent In and Out connections through a single USB cable, and it gives you many routing options,
plus it can be used as a MIDI patchbay with or without the comoputer.

: I've got 6 Master keyboards each with 1 midi out port only. I assigned 1 channel in Cakewalk Sonar for each plugin. I assigned CH1 to first plugin and CH1 to the first Master Keyboard, CH2 to 2nd plugin and CH2 to 2nd master keyboard and so on. The problem is in cable connection: My Audio interface owns only a midi in and a midi out, so I don't know how to connect the six keyboards to the interface. I thought about doing a chain, but master keyboards do not have any midi THRU port. What do I need? THX
