M-Audio's USB MIDI keyboards are great, but I would not expect the audio

be any better quality than what is in your average laptop. I haven't
tried it though.
I wouldn't base a studio on one, but I don't think thats the idea anyway.
MIDI
streams need a reliable transport with guaranteed bandwidth. If
USB can't provide this, then it is not really suitable for MIDI, but
I'm not saying it is unusable, just that it may perform worse then
traditional serial multiport MIDI interfaces.
FWIW the M-Audio keyboard I bought has a regular MIDI interface too. I'd
imagine one with audio inputs has it as well. Lee
