MIDI instuments can be used anywear. MIDI instuments vary in form and format and may not be "real" musical instuments but rather a computer input device used as a musical instrument. MIDI has experianced a revival in poularity as virtual (software based) instruments have become common. It was origanally a primative software code used by early computer based music devices, mostly keyboards, as well as other stage hardware such as lighting or special effects devices. MIDI keyboards are the most common MIDI instrument. What seperates a MIDI keyboard from a keyboard with MIDI is that it requires a separate device, most often a computer, to function. MIDI instruments take many forms such as QWERTY keyboards being used musically or electronic wind instruments such as saxaphones. Some users have even used playstation controllers or Nintendo WII controllers as MIDI instruments.
I've used more than three, so I'd imagine 2 shouldn't be a problem.

When choosing MIDI USB controllers, consider features like the number of keys or pads, the quality of the key action, the availability of knobs and sliders for control, compatibility with your software, and the overall build quality for durability.
You don't need a MIDI controller, but you will need the M-Audio USB or Firewire audio interface that it shipped with.
The MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) system has nothing to do with the range of frequencies. MIDI is a method of communicating between various musical controllers, such as keyboards, and generators, such as synthesizers. The synthesizer is what actually generates the frequency. The MIDI system is simply the messaging subsystem. Think of it this way - one parallel to MIDI is a player piano roll.
Midi is used to record electronic instruments via Midi cables. It is like connecting a mic to your computer, except it is your instrument. Get it?
The Akai Mini MK3 is a compact MIDI controller with features like 25 keys, 8 pads, and knobs for controlling music software. Compared to other similar controllers, it stands out for its portability, affordability, and integration with Akai's software.
Most modern MIDI devices come with a USB link that passes the MIDI signal to the USB socket of the computer. If a USB connection is not available then a MIDI to USB adapter (See links below) can be added to connect the standard MIDI sockets to the USB socket. These are widely available from various manufacturers at varying prices. The Mac usually recognises when a MIDI device is connected but they can be configured with the Audio & MIDI setup utility found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
A Ensoniq KS-32 can be used as a MIDI controller. If you are using an audio interface that has MIDI ports, connect the MIDI Out of the Ensoniq to the Interface's MIDI In. If you don't have a MIDI port on your interface (such as with the Mbox Mini) you will have to buy a USB MIDI interface (they're about $40.00).
