Controlling Volcas with usb Midi & Ableton?

Hey! So recently I've been looking at getting a Volca Keys as a first synth.

I'm planning on using it not for live performance, but as a regular external synth in Ableton.

Thing is, I already have a full sized midi keyboard connected in USB only (no midi pins) to my laptop.

My goal is to control the synth using the full sized keyboard, and also being abled to use Ableton sequencer to trigger the synth.

How would you guys approach this setup? I already have a focusrite solo card, but there's no midi whatsoever on it. I guess I would need to buy some midi box from ableton to the synth?

(And also, since Volcas are cheap I will probably get a beats later in the process... So the midi issue would be also a problem, because I want to be able to control the two synth separately using the same midi keyboard)

Thanks for the feedback!
