I'm using a mac g4 with digital performer with the motu828, and i'm confused on what midi controller to get. Is there a midi controller out there that uses firewire instead of USB?
Does anyone have any recommendations as far as m-audio oxygen 8 v.s. m-audio ozone? I'm just really lost as far as what midi controller to get. I'd really like to get one with firewire capabilities or plugins, but can't seem to find one. all advice welcome! Thanks! |

hi there, psssstt,
ya might wanna check out the ....... Evolution MK-461C USB Flagship model for the Evolution line, featuring 9 assignable 35mm sliders, 12 assignable rotary knobs, 10 assignable buttons and 61 full-size touch sensitive keys. i just bought one. haven't received it yet but i'll be glad to post a nice quickie review. here's a link from the people i got it from - been doing biz with them for several years and they gave me a nice purchase price with absynth2.0 - no they did not pay me to plug them. Evolution MK-461c USB midi kbd  i'm hoping that this, along with my motu 828, cubase, live, reason, max/msp, pluggo, metasynth, and all the other hoo-ha i've got crammed into my G4 1Ghz PB will make an excellent road studio as i travel back and forth between my studio and work. not that you have to have all that software to make great music. truly. good luck and watch for my review in the next 2 weeks.... elizabeth 'auracene' secret orange star studio motu 828 (2), g4 933 desktop, nord modular, eml 101, sh101, etc. reason, cubase, max/msp, etc |
