Thanks Rachel, and all for your help.
I'm looking to get something from an overseas website as I went to
various electronics places today and no one had anything or not in stock.
Now I know what to look for. I think I'll try for a four way as I
suppose these things tend to grow once you start to play with them.
Pity midi keyboards don't just have a USB port at the back and do away
with the round midi plug. That would be so much easier!

Hi Ben,

The question is, how intensive are your requirements? Do you need
mulitport MIDI
control, filtering
or MIDI beat clock for example? If you do, you may need a specific
driver
and MIDI hardware interface
combination, that is supported on your flavour of Linux. You may only
require simple 2 way 16 channel
MIDI, which would be supported by most driver/hardware configurations.
It may be wiser to purchase
a more advanced interface that has the smarts to do routing and
filtering and
receive and transmit MIDI
clock. Otherwise, you will end up progressing so far only to find you
can't sync
your sampler to your sequencer,
for example.
