Novice question - help appreciated!

I'm teaching myself this home recording malarkey, and just about getting the hang of it...until this.

I was recently given an AKAI MPD218 midi controller. It's fantastic and great for tapping out drum patterns. However, I'd love to get a midi controller keyboard to work alongside it. So my question is this...

Is it possible to use the two controllers in tandem?

Then I could use one for making drum patterns and the other for keyboard parts.

My DAW is Cubase LE AI Elements 9.5, running on mac.

Help appreciated!

I use a different DAW (Reaper, with a PC...), but I think it must be common to have, for each track recorded, a choice of which MIDI device to use. For a drum track, select the Akai; for a melody track select the MIDI keyboard. The software will sort out which device to 'listen' to when recording. Hope this helps
