Hello, 
   Need some advice about connecting my Mac to my disklavier (control unit DKC100R). I understand a midi interface device is required.  My question is: There are so many midi interface devices to choose from ranging in price from $5.00 - $50.00 dollars, does it matter which one I use?  Is one device better than another?  Has anyone had first-hand experience?
     I hope after making the connection between the piano (via the disklavier's midi in/out) and the midi interface device and then to the Mac computer to be able to play the piano and record into a music editing software program. Then to be able to reverse the process and have the computerized music come through and be played on the piano.  
     Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks,  Leon
