MOTU micro lite (5x5 in/out) is nice solution if you intend on
acquiring more midi controllers/modules
if you're only using one controller, a cheapy USB to Midi will be fine
yes, you should write custom controllers (OSC spec is great)
PureData and Supercollider are awesome languages
but Reaktor has a much faster learn curve and more graphical interface
it also has total OSC integration
all the NI samplers sound great, very EMUish
great for glitches, breaks, idm in general
if you can't splash on Kontakt2, check out Kompakt - much smaller and cheaper
still sounds great - just minus the really powerful functions
