I think you misunderstood what I was saying.  Yes, the OUTs of the synth
need connecting, but the OUT from the synth will be connected to an IN
on the computer midi interface.  One end of each cable will always be
connected to an IN port, so you never need more cables than you have
IN ports, no mater how many OUTs or THRUs you have available on
your devices.

(If you have one of those older PC game port midi adapter cables,
and it has MALE connectors, that's kinda non-standard and I admit
it throws a wrench into my IN port counting method...)
