I'm using a mac g4 with digital performer with the motu828, and i'm confused on what midi controller to get. Is there a midi controller out there that uses firewire instead of USB?

Does anyone have any recommendations as far as m-audio oxygen 8 v.s. m-audio ozone? I'm just really lost as far as what midi controller to get. I'd really like to get one with firewire capabilities or plugins, but can't seem to find one.

all advice welcome! Thanks!

It's a little expensive for a MIDI controller, but the Korg microkontroller is SO sweet! I was playing with one yesterday at GC; and it had, far and away, the best look and feel of any dedicated controller I've come across. I would also probably guess it is built well...I have a few Korg synths on hand and have had no problems with them. It's a little pricey, so you might not want to go that route; but I was very impressed...
