Audio Interface with MIDI controller in one?

Hi all,
 
   I have an M-Audio Ozone which is like 13-14 years old, and I really enjoy the 2-in-1 aspect of it in many ways. However, I worry for the day that it either breaks or is no longer supported (I actually felt I got lucky when M-Audio made Win7 64-bit drivers for it). I have asked music shops if there is a newer MIDI controller with an audio interface, and they always say, "No, only one or the other."
 
   Does anyone know if there is a comparable newer version of this nifty machine?

Audio interface built into midi keyboard connection - is that such a big deal, really.
The flexibility of updating audio interface to higher quality and not switch keyboards seems better to me.
 
And if wanting better weighted keys, more faders, knobs and pads available you can switch to another midi keyboard without changing soundcard of your choice. And you can select any class compliant keyboard - meaning you don't need vendor to supply specific drivers.
 
If there were a high demand for this kind of integration there would be these alternatives still. I think most people prefer flexibility.
 
You can see what this approach with integrated audio and midi did to you - it locks you in and you have to worry about these things.
 
I recently ditched an old M-Audio Evolution UC33 controller - since the latest midi drivers from M-Audio did not work so well with all hosts anyway - they loose contact after a while. I go class compliant stuff all the way now.
 
Don't worry - there are plenty options - but more flexible ones.

I did a quick search on eBay and found several Ozone's for sale. But that's if you want to stay with what you have. Same OS and DAW.

But at some point you will need to upgrade everything. At that point I would suggest you do like lfm suggests and go with newer stuff.

At some point I will have to give up my mAudio Trigger Finger. Like you, it's had it's last updated drivers at Win7 64 SPR1. So when I upgrade my OS, I will need to get a new trigger pads/drum input.

Not a bad idea!! Got two of us requesting it. Think we can get some more?

Line 6 has had this one out for awhile.

is there a control surface with all the sliders and knobs and buttons and stuff, 1/4" and xlr in ports (1 for a guitar and other for mic) and audio out,  plus head phone audio out, with USB powered and compatible with sonar without the synth keyboard,  bundled in with lots of goodies like amp emulation, pedal boards emulation, etc,..?

Motiff's are great keyboards but would not rely on them for the audio interface aspect.  They have abandoned making drivers for several versions of the Motiff in the past. Interfaces are so compact now, that I don't see where this is a space issue.  Having your controller and interface rolled into one is just asking for the rug to be pulled out.  Also, like most all-in-one devices, there is typically at least one area that falls short.
