Elektron Musical Instruments

Ok i got my MM and its very cool!  I am ready to try an OS upgrade 
and am looking for a interface for my computer.  Following 
endlessnessisticman's advice, I'm looking at one from Edirol.  USB 
w/male midi in and out.

Hopefully this will be sufficient for upgrading, if I'm way off base 
could someone let me know?  Again I am very new to this. Thanks very 
much!

p.s. my MM knobs are quite wobbly, one sits alot higher than the 
rest..anyone encounter this?
