I'm trying to make sense out of your question.
I think you left out a detail. What would you be routing to digital
out? The MIDI device has nothing to do with the converters or the
digital output.

No, but what really doesn't make sense is how it costs you an analog
channel otherwise.

Thanks for that.

You can create a live MIDI track, then when you mix, connect the MIDI
OUT of the Layla to the MIDI IN of the keyboard and mix the keyboard
in with the audio tracks. Or if you don't have a mixer, you could do
another pass through the song with the MIDI track driving the keyboard
and record the keyboard on another analog track or two. It'll probably
be a bit out of sync due to the latency of the keyboard and the rest
of the system, but you should be able to put it in the right place
just by sliding the new track a few milliseconds back toward the
beginning of the song.

But understand that you WILL need the keyboard again in order to
generate its sounds. Only the note and expreession data is stored when
you record MIDI, the sound has to come from the keyboard (or a soft
synth - but that would be a different sound).
