Connect a hw synth usb to mpc and computer simultaneously

Hi
How can i Connect a hardware synth to both mpc live 2 and computer via usb Simultaneously. Right now I have my synth connected to mpc live 2 via usb for midi purposes but I also want my hardware synth usb to go to my computer for my ableton use.
Is there anyway to send the usb data from a symth both places at the same time. seems like usb can only talk to one device :(

The synth can‘t do it, but the computer can (with a little help from some midi routing) ;)
Connect the synth to the computer and let the computer handle the MPC communication on another USB port.
Something like this: https://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

ps: forgot the obvious... just Ableton might be enough to handle the routing
