Your controller has usb out so I think you can use it. I have not used a usb controller so I can not say for sure. You do want a audio interface. some interfaces are both MIDI and audio. The motu interfaces work well with DP.

Leopard compatibility with interfaces and a keyboard control
Hi all,
As it turns out, I will be receiving an iMac with Leopard in a few days. Everything I have ordered - software and hardware - is compatible with it. My keyboard controller (M-Audio Radium 49), however, is not. (I don't think any M-Audio products are Leopard-compatible yet.)
So, I guess I have a basic MIDI question. The Leopard-compatible audio interface I ended up buying (Edirol UA-4FX) is also a MIDI interface. Would I be able to connect (through MIDI cables) my controller through that interface, or do I need to get a specifically Leopard-compatible controller?
Thanks!

No if your controller has MIDI out, MIDI is MIDI and has nothing to do with an OS.

well i have a akai mpk49 for one of my controllers the drivers have been recently updated so it works fine with current software, the usb MIDI function works fine in fact with usb MIDI the mpk has 24 MIDI channels (3 MIDI banks) it also has the standard MIDI connectors for hooking up pre usb devices.
