You will see your focusrite under MIDI Ports, not under surface.

Midi Ports - Focusrite - Input and output - track on and remote on.

You will only receive midi notes to play the Vst's or plugins, not the audio of your yamaha MX61.

If you will do that, take the external instrument rack in your live browser.
