Sure, that would work. You'd set up GPO or whatever software synth on
the other PC, have it respond to whatever midi channels you want, hook
it up to the other computer via midi, and connect the output from the
synth computer into the input of the other computer or mixer what
whatever you have.
You'd need to get another ASIO sound card, like the 2496.
Advantages->More and better sounding sounds.
Disadvantages->heat and noise from two computers being on.

Hi, I was interested in this discussion and have some of my own questions.
Is it better to use a separate dedicated computer for soft synth or
just use one box for everything? What are the advantages/disadvantages?
Currently I'm using one PC (P4) that has 1G of RAM and a 2496 for
everything. But I have another PC (Athlon 2000+) which has 1.5G (3G
max) which I'm not using which could be set up as a soft synth box.
If I wanted to do something like what you describe but with two PCs
instead of a Mac and a PC, would that work? Which box would get the
2496, the one with Finale installed or the one being used as a soft
synth? Or would I need to get a second 2496? And how exactly do you
connect them via MIDI? Thanks.
