ben, 

i use a midisport 2x2 interface from midiman with my pocket controller. it has 
two midi ins and outs each. there is an even cheaper version with only one in 
and one out. the extra midi in insures you can always add more stuff later on. 
valuable. 

i really love my pocket controller. the only thing that could be better would 
be 4 of them (or the 64 knob drehbeck!) the pocket dial theoretically could be 
better, since it has four presets (=64 'virtual' knobs), but i decided to go 
cheap and simple. 

be sure to download midi-ox to moniter how the midi signals go through your 
system (if u use a PC, that is, i guess Macs are a bit better 
optimized... ?...) 

best of luck, 
derek
