25 Key Controller

Hello
I need to purchase a small 25 key controller for Logic Express on my
Powerbook G4 running OS10.4.11.

Which controller works best with Logic Express?

The less problems and conflicts.. the better.

thanks

Midi Recognized On Mac

I have been told that MIDI is recognized ONLY thru USB on Apple computers??
Will I be able to connect my Korg X5D keyboard controller and Micro Piano box thru Firewire?

Thanks,

Apogee Duet?

Hello....

I will be running Logic Studio on iMac 20" 2.16. Korg keyboard, Kirtzweil Micro Piano, and possibly the Yamaha Drum machine.

Has anyone had experience with Logic Studio and Apogee Duet?
The Duet does not have faders... looks like a knob..
Apple says it is designed for Logic...

I am also looking at PreSonus Firebox with Alpha Track USB controller..

Will appreciate your ideas.

Also... What firewire external Hard drive is the Best for audio production on the iMac?
(Firewire, 7200, size GB? manufacturer?)

Thanks,

Ipod As Hd?

Do you know if the new Firewire iPod 40 Gig would work as well as a 7200rpm external HD??

Apple says the iPod plays these files:
AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 (32 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible, AIFF, Apple lossless and WAV

..and Apple is promoting the iPod as a HD to transport files.

I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks
