If you have more synths, you would benefit from having a proper MIDI
interface. Then your options depend on your operating system - if you have
a Mac, you must use some USB hardware. On Windows you can still get one of
those serial (and maybe parallel as well) port based interfaces, and get
the USB<->appropriate_port adapter.

There are some USB devices from eMagic, which you can spot every now on
eBay:
 - Unitor8 MK II - 8/8 MIDI ports, comes with fancy SMPTE sync, which you
don't need
 - AMT8 - 8/8 MIDI ports, no fancy stuff
 - AMT4 - 4/4 MIDI ports, no fancy stuff
 - MOTU MIDI Express, I think there's a model with USB

Those are serial based, but worked OK on my Windows machines:
 - Unitor8 MKI - 8/8 MIDI ports, SMPTE
 - Midiman BiPort - 2 IN/4 OUT, SMPTE

Older versions of MOTU MIDI Express were connected thru parallel port, but
I never used one, so no first-hand knowledge here.

Current prices for Unitor8/AMT8 are around 70-100 EUR, and sometimes one
can get Unitor8 MK I for 50 EUR. For bigger setups they are awesome, since
you can stack them with Mac printer/serial cables.
