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! |

I've got an Edirol PCR-30 which works fine.
One thing I would think about carefully when buying controllers is size of keyboard. Mine has just under 3 octaves which can be abit of a bind when I'm trying to be creative. I guess its a trade off though as its far more practical for taking to gigs... |
