Hi Dave, As far as I can tell the edirol/roland UM1 (around $60) should work out of the box. I also recently bought a evolution mk 425 c (around $140) that work flawlessy and offers a 2 octave keyboard, 8 assignable knobs, 10 assignable buttons, and a MIDI out. This is not only a MIDI interface, but IMHO it's worth the money. It is very small and USB powered, so is especially useful on a laptop. They also have other models: http://www.evolution.co.uk/products/index.html There is also the "midisport" line from m-audio, but if I recall correctly they need a firmware upload to work, so I'd avoid them: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.list&ID=usbmidiinterfaces > TIA! > > dp Best regards, -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net
