I don't know about the audiotrak. One reason some people do not like the MidiSport line, at least with the 2x2 and higher, is that it requires the use of non-opensource firmware. I use the 2x2 successfully (sort of) under Linux but I think it's a bit hig priced for what it does. If the audiotrak meets your needs I'd probably consider trying that one, or see if you get any other recommendations.

Atte, When I was facing a similar decision a few months ago, my local music store didn't have an Edirol UM-2 (which may fit your bill), and I decided not to get an M-Audio device because I was worried about USB standard compliance as well as proprietary firmware. Instead, I went ahead and got an Edirol PCR-30. That one's actually a 32-key MIDI keyboard with a bunch of programmable buttons and dials and sliders, and it just happends to have a USB port as well. Everything worked right out of the box, and in hindsight I'm glad to have gotten the PCR-30 instead of the UM-2 because I really like having an extra keyboard as well as a bunch of additional controllers.
