Which M-Audio's are not compatible? You CAN look at the USB connection for midi controller interfaces with say drum machines.

Also the "new" kid in town for keyboard (midi controllers with USB connections) is "Novation" with software/hardware combo ZeRO SL MkII and Launchpad".

my favorite youtube video ...

EDIT: Fully powered SL MKII via the MacBook Pro USB connection.

The SL Mk II has been designed to draw minimum current so it can be used as a USB buss-powered device, and an optional 9V DC power supply can be added for stand-alone use. As well as USB interfacing, the SL Mk II has 1 MIDI in, 1 MIDI thru and 2 MIDI outs.
