FATAR SL-880 pro midi controller
M-audio MIDISPORT UNO usb-to-MIDI interface

I have been stuck for one whole year now on this f'n thing now and I cant find any help. ANYONE?!? Here is my problem:

I have been using this software for quite some time for audio and I wanted to get into composing with MIDI....I got a FATAR SL-880 pro to do this one year ago and I cant get any output.

IS THERE ANONE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE

No output from the SL-880 meaning no MIDI exiting the device and arriving at the computer? or no audio coming out of the device? or MIDI arriving at the computer, activating a software synth, but audio not making it out of the computer?
The SL-880 is just a controller, right? What are you controlling?

Logic is receiveing info from sl880 cotroller, but there is no output from the compute

What is the info trying to control? And outboard software synth like Reason, or a plug-instrument like an East-West library?

I guess I am not exactly sure what you mean. Do I need other software or hardware to hook the controller into before it goes to the computer? Doesn't Logic come with software instruments already to be controlled by a midi keyboard, or do I need to buy some sort of external synth device? I am sorry for my incompetent questions, but I am not a tech head but a musician. Thanx for your patience.
