I find out a midi patch software for Mac OSX.
It's a freeware call "MIDI patchbay". It allows to virtually connect all the synthesisers/expanders and keyboard controllors of your midi set.
Many combinations are possible to organise and control all your instruments.
I tested it with a MPU64 (Roland interface) with Mac OS 10.2.3
