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! |

grumpy batz-maru looks sexier than apple logo.
and BTW the mk-461c USB is here! the first few hours with it have been great. the controls are not heavy resistance, but for the features and price i'm very pleased with this keyboard. it takes about 2 secondes to have any knob, slider or the pitch or mod wheel output any midi controller message. evolution has made this very easy. promise a full report in few more days when i've had a chance to see how consistently it will work. plug i'm thinking of writing a how-to and what-to look for when buying a midi keyboard. The Key Stuck Text - all the m-audio radiums have really crummy keys. if you're thinking about buying one of these give it this test: run your fingers up and down the keys 2 or 3 times a la Jerry Lee Lewis boogie-woogie style. If one or more of the keys don't get stuck like what happened on TWO different radium midi controllers, then maybe the keyboard is okay. so far the mk-461c hasn't gotten stuck keys! unofficial review coming soon..... elizabeth annadyne appalachia, usa |
