To Chroma or not to Chroma, that's the question.

I am planning to build a PC, with as little native LEDs as possible, around a MSI X570 Tomahawk mobo (the only component with LEDs). I'd like to buy a Razor BlackWidow (V3 or Elite) with this PC and to add some ARGB to the case, to light the components. The case will be a Phanteks P600S, so it seems only natural to use their Digital-RGB system (thinking of 3 Halos fan-rings and some Neon led-strips). Phanteks D-RGB is compatible with Razor Chroma and MSI Mystic Lights. So, I should be able to control at least the keyboard and D-RGB from Razor Chroma. But my Phanteks D-RGB is still connected to the JRAINBOW header(s) of my MSI mobo, which has it's own LEDs.

Question 1: can Chroma connect with the MSI mobo LEDs?
Question 2: or do I still need MSI Mystic Lights in this setup?
Question 3: and if I do: could I program my Razor's LEDs with MSI Mystic Lights?
Question 4: or, should I have both programs and just use MSI Mystic Lights for the Mobo LEDs?

I just really want to be able to control all LEDs from one program.

Thank you in advance.

As far as I know, particularly with MSI and ASROCK they work with synapse out the box as long as you use the RGB headers? Alternatively if you don't want to risk it you could try their new RGB adapter.
