Hey guys got a quick question…and before you start, I know, I know Arturia is not “really” moog and in fact the questions aren’t either.

Firstly,
I need to know if the soundcard with the new Apple powerbooks (those with line ins…15/17" models with backlit keys) are substantial for half decent music production…IF THE ANSWER TO THIS IS “No”…

Is there a good external USB soundcard out there that that supports line in and/OR midi (doesn’t have to have midid capabilities…Roland/tascam jobbies…) that ALSO have a keyboard attached as one unit. Sort of having a Oxygen -8 with a 1/4" line in for ext mics etc and ext midi capabilities (In case i want to use me minimoog wth midi as a controller)

Hope all this makes sense and helps other moog enthus’s as well.
Cheers

Hope this makes sense.
Essentially I’m looking for one MIDI keyboard unit that can supply me with a 1/4 inch jack/line in, with some sort of mixer…and maybe the ability to allow other MIDI controllers. Or do I have to get a USB sound card mixer w/ midi (tascam, roland jobbie) and a MIDI keyboard controller (oxygen-8 jobbie?)

well i have looked and looked for such a unit which incorporates all these feautures…and…nada…just controllers galore. And run of the mill USB cards and mixers. I’m trading my shit controller for an ozone or ox 8.
