I think this might be your problem. Don't these plug-ins require a host application to run in (that's how I've always used them).

What do the manuals say?

Look in the Audio/Midi settings (should be in the Utilities folder)

I used to use the NI - B4II with a keyboard as a stand alone application. Worked fine,

You might need the keyboard's driver from here:

Using GarageBand ?

i down loaded the driver from m-audio called enigma i can see enigma need to have control file dropped,also the laptop dont see the keyboard

IIRC Enigma is a control editor for M-Audio keyboards rather than a driver. I have an Oxygen keyboard and the driver was a separate download to Enigma, but I have a PC.
I don't have a significant latency issue using ASIO4all and pro53 or Reason on a laptop. Don't know if there is anything like it for the Mac though.
