I'm using Reason and BIAS Peak on an Apple G5. I want to purchase a device such as the M-Audio Ozone or Edirol's PCR-A30 to get the most out of the software. I'm not a keyboardist, but I'd like something that would allow a maximum amount of expressive control. I like the fact that the Edirol's keys are velocity sensitive and that both units are reasonably priced. I think I need one of these controllers with a built in audio interface. M-Audio says that the Ozone uses apple's core audio, while the edirol site doesn't mention this. What is the best route to take? Does it make more sense to buy something like a Firewire 410 and a different type of controller? I'd like to keep costs reasonable. I don't expect to have anything more than 1 mic and 1 midi deviced hooked in. Can anyone give me advice on the route to take here? Has anyone used both?

thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi. I use the Firewire 410 and the PCR-30 on my Mac G4 running Panther, and Logic 6, and it's a great combination. I highly recommend it. The PCR-30 is a good keyboard. My other system is a G5 with dual 2.0s, MOTU 828 MKII, and the Edirol PCR-80.

The 30 is a bit smallish for a keyboard though. I'm not a keyboardist myself and I thought a small keyboard would be ok for me, but I much prefer a larger one.

Best of luck!
