So my question is as follows:

I have a Cooler Master MasterCase H500P ATX Mid-Tower Case with two 200mm RGB fans in the front, and the Corsair Hydro Series, H150i PRO RGB, 360mm Radiator, Triple 120mm ML Series PWM Fans, Advanced RGB Lighting and Fan Control with Software, Liquid CPU Cooler & as an extra I got the CORSAIR ML120 PRO RGB, 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation RGB LED PWM Fan, CO-9050076-WW. 3-Pack with Lighting Node PRO which also brings x1 RGB lighting hub.
So...

1]. Is it "possible" to connect my x2 200mm Front Case Fans to the x1 Lighting Node PRO?

2]. If so, what type of adapter/splitter is out there to make this happen? The x2 200mm Front Case Fans have the standard 4-pin male RGB connector and the Corsair x1 Lighting Node PRO uses a different type of plugin. Might it be proprietary? I don't know.

3]. Lastly, is there a program of some sort that can and will control "all" of my RGB lighting effects? I have Corsair Link, Gigabyte RGB Fusion & also my GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD Video Card uses G1-Outlook via Gigabyte XTREME Engine Utility, which is totally different than RGB Fusion. I cannot control my VGA RGB lighting via the RGB Fusion App/program.

So you see, everything RGB in my rig is run by either an app or a program of some sort or another. I'm guessing I asked three [3] questions instead of one [1][?].

Here are my specs so there are no confusion nor followup question instead of answer. I will greatly appreciate any type of information that will be useful and enlightening. I will tackle all responses as well. Thank you in advance.

Intel i7-8700K @ 5Ghz CPU
Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 MoBo
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200 MEM
Corsair Hydro Series H150i Pro RGB Liquid Cooler w/Radiator CPU Cooling
Corsair RM850X PSU
Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB ISSD
Seagate FireCuda 2TB SSHD
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming-8GD VGA
CoolerMaster Master Case H500P MT-Case with
Boston Accoustic Speakers
ROCCAT Kone Pure RGB Gaming Mouse
SteelSeries Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard
SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless Gaming headset with DTS x7.1 Surround Sound...

...and "yes", I know...I have X-mas sitting on my desk with all the lighting [NOT annoying at all, to be honest].

Thank you again, Community
 
Solution
1) No. In general, if it's compatible with Aura Sync, it won't work with the Corsair addressable RGB. Totally different protocols and different voltage requirements as well (12V vs 5V)
2) See #1.
3) Not really. The RGB ecosystem is pretty fragmented right now. There are some open source efforts that are looking to make this better but with varying degrees of success.

Greatly appreciated. Makes sense. I shall await the openGL communities findings and/or fix up for the multiple apps.
Thank you.
