The 25 keys were sensitive to pick up a fine touch and will not buckle if you hammer them. However Ive seen used ones online for around 80 and refurbished price of 85.Īt those prices the M-Audio Oxygen 8 V2 is an excellent choice. I cant really comment on MSRP because mine was included in a college program. Germany, 37 pm i can be closed at ebay Helpful review of the oxygen 8 keyboard.
DRIVERS FOR MIDIMAN OXYGEN 8 INSTALL
Unless it was a fluke this thing is not going to fall apart on you. Midiman oxygen 8 driver download - install that driver, connect your oxygen 8 to computer and play music, have fun cheers, bruce how does this make you feel Should work without drivers to each knob. Ill confess that I have accidentally dropped it once or twice, but the unit was fine with no noticeable marks. OVERALL OPINION What I liked the most was the compact design. The double stacked midi knobs definitely save some space compared to having them all in one row. There are enough buttons to preform certain functions (sometimes you get units with lots of dual use buttons and things can become a pain when you have to a lot of adjustments). If you are still unsure there are plenty of videos on youtube to help you out The buttons are moderately easy to use. It is very similar to other competing MIDI keyboards so if you are familiar with those you wont have a problem. When you adjust on screen it will change the value, however once you touch the physical knob again it will snap to wherever the knob is pointed. This is a pain when you cant remember what exact setting you had had on before. This means that when you try to adjust one of your on screen settings using the knob, it will automatically snap to where the physical knob is. Lets also note that the MIDI knobs are not infinity (you they have a limit to how far they can be turned either way. I found that I really didnt use synths in a way that required me to have the midi control so it was no problem to not have. Now Ill be honest, I didnt know much about MIDI keyboardcontrollers when I first tried to get it to work.Īnd I may have gotten frustrated and learned to live without the knob control feature. Getting it to work with your DAW is another issue. On my mac I didnt have to install any drivers and I was able to use keys, pitch bend and the octave problem with no problems. There is also a socket for an optional sustain-footswitch. The Oxygen 8 provides two MIDI OUT jacks for connecting to MIDI devices from either your computer.
