Midisport 1x1 USB ($40) - Works great. Love it. Midisport Uno ($40) - I've heard that this always works great for normal stuff (notes, CC's, PC's) but sometimes will act flaky with sysex. I think the issues are often tied to specific production runs (hardware). I've heard this from Linux, Windows, and Mac users. For M-audio's midisports, you'll probably need to add a package to load the firmware in your favorite distro. On Debian-based distros the package is called "midisport-firmware". > He's currently distro shopping. Probably he'll go with Ubuntu or CCRMA. I've heard good things about Ubuntu Studio, and I use (and like) 64 Studio 2.0 (Debian-based) and 3.0-beta (Ubuntu-based).
