Hello Jared!

I boo booed!

I didn't  read the specs  carefully enough!   It is a pci internal
symthesizer which  can run off the  usb buss, but will not meet your needs.  

Rats, if they had an external  model it would work for you.

Sorry for misleading you and should have  read the specs more  carefully.

Ed,
