what usb midi controllers do you guys reccomend, within the range of $150-$250?? also consider such things as compatability issues with windows XP, and prerequisite of USB 2.0 which my hardware does not support. do the keys detect velocity? does it have assignable rotaries? external accessories? software bundle? i do not put up with tiny-ass LCD displays thank you |

usb 2 isn?t really going to do that much for midi... I got an M-audio Oxygen 8 controller - great for use with a PowerBook, they (m-audio) got more fullsize models as well, ask zeus - he seems to have both the oxy 8 and a bigger one too... |

yeah, I got the oxygen for live use (2 octaves, 8 assingable knobs) Then I have The Radium, for home use (5 octaves, 8 assingable knobs, and 8 assignable sliders). The radium is roughly $230, I beleive. I bought it off of www.samash.com Oh yeah, and they both have pitchbend and mod wheels. But really, there is alot more you can do with them... I just havent gotten that indepth with them. But yeah. highly reccomend either... depending on your needs (portable or not) Good luck! :) |

i appreciate all of the input & info, zeus, phiz, portland, and avort the oxygen8 looks simple, easy, and is in my price range. looks pretty funky, too. im correct that it doesnt come with a software bundle? |
||||||||

|
|
um, i think it comes with a demo of reason, and a demo if rebirth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hm, if they pimp reason then it must work well with it also? im going to buy the oxygen8 this weekend from the SAMASH site thanks alot man, i appreciate it |

m-audio is a great company they pimp reason live, and native instruments (I think?) You wont be dissapointed. And yes, the oxygen is perfect for reason... all those knobs in reason, and now you can use them in real time! |
