Using a MIDI keyboard with FL St-Studio

I'm just about to order a MIDI keyboard (the M-Audio Oxygen
49: here), and I'm wondering if it's fiddly to
assign my knobs to the FX/VSTi in FL-Studio. I know if you
right-click, you can Assign, but I don't know if it's
automatic or if I maybe need to have pre-assigned controller
numbers to my knobs first. If you get what I mean.

If someone can advise me on how best to utilise the MIDI
keyboard, I'd be astoundingly grateful.

Dunno about in FL-Studio but in most music packages I have
used the MIDI assignment is pretty easy. Some packages auto
assign so when you choose assign you just slide or twiddle
whatever you want to assign and it is done...otherwise the
knobs etc. are already assigned values so it's all pretty
easy.

Cheers Lee - I'm excited about getting it - I've been so
sick of not being able to knob-twiddle or even just jam.

I'd get the axiom 49 instead

Its basically like a deluxe oxygen, comes with like 20
different memory banks or something, and you can download
software I think called enigma which can assign the preset
made for fruityloops to all 20, then you could basically
assign 8 knobs to 20 channels and swith through them by
hitting a button

I have the 25 and its awesome with ableton

Although I think the main difference between the two is the
axiom has 8 drumpads and weighted keys/aftertouch etc

I should've mentioned that

The Oxygen comes with the Enigma software bundled (and
semi-weighted keys--not sure about the aftertouch apart from
it has one of those pitch wheels!) - alas, the axiom
costs more than I will spend, but I don't really need the
extras which the axiom has. . .just need to be able to make
my music making more organic. thanks for the input tho :]

it should be a "right click knob" - "turn midi control" -
"ready" thing. it doesn't matter what cc it sends.

yeah, theres really not much you can screw up.

just set the controller as remote control, right click,
assign, turn knob, done.

yeah i mean mine is more for a live set up

its kind of like this

knob 1: instajungle slice 1 on/off
knob 2: instajungle beat slice percentage
knob 3: supatrigger instant repeat on/off (only to do the
slowdown thing)
knob 4: buffer override y axis (cause i dont have enough
chopping?)
knob 5: autofilter y axis (basically cuts everything but
bass)
knob 6-8: pingpong delay wet/dry, y axis, x axis
drumpad 1: instajungle on/off switch
drumpad 2: autofilter on/off switch
drumpad 3: buffer override on/off switch
drumpad 4: pingpong delay on/off switch
drumpad 5: ableton loop selection on/off

on every channel L:I
