I've been using an M-Audio Mtrack 8 for some months with no issues. USB2 Class
compliant etc. but no MIDI (got a separate box for that).

I've also got an NI KA6 for 'portable' work which has turned out to be *very*
robust and reliable. Again USB2 class compliant, and also has MIDI IO.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
