You need to connect them...carefully.
There is no substitute for learning how they work for yourself. There are many different ways to hook them up.
The simplest would be to hook up the USB cables between the computer and each of the keyboards, then install the USB-midi drivers on the computer. Then only hookup the L+R audio outs of each keyboard to separate inputs of the Omega for recording. That works if you're using the computer as the master sequencer and recorder, but not if you intend to use the Fantom for those purposes, in which case you'd need to hook the midi IN of the X50 to the midi OUT of the Fantom and the same for the L+R audio between the two keyboards.
You've got a lot of power within these fine pieces of gear, so have fun exploring the possibilities. Don't feel overwhelmed - just look at it as a fun puzzle with a lot of musical rewards as you get the pieces into place.
