How do I use one midi controller keyboard for two sequencers?

Ez guys just wondering what would be the best way to run one midi controller keyboard for two instances of Ableton running in sync on seperate laptops. Thoughts welcome. Cheers.

some kind of wi-fi/bluetooth midi sharing thing?

Mm not a bad idea. I'll look into it.

MIDI Thru? use Midiox or something like that...

ya wifi will be a pain in the ass. I'd just get a midi splitter or something. Each laptop will need a midi interface anyways.

hooking up and syncing a midi splitter + 2 midi interfaces is not a pain in the ass then??

anyway, you need ipMIDI or MIDIoverLAN CP - google them....piece of piss mate.

Yeah, I've downloaded ipMIDI (demo version) and it certainly does the trick! Haven't quite figured out how to control both sequencers with one Midi Keyboard yet but that'll be the next stage. Good thing is I've got 2 soundcards but me Focusrite Saffire 6 USB refuses to work on my Windows 7 pc so I'm using the interal one which just isn't good enough for music production. :(
