A good first keyboard February 26, 2006

I too am a guitar player and I bought this guy about 2 years ago to use with Sonar. I didn't plan on becoming a keyboard player, but I have, and I can thank this little guy for that. It is wonderfully non-intimidating with its small stature, only 2-octave keyboard. The knobs work inside your soft synths (Reaktor and Reason) just as advertised. The thing is, I always end up reaching for the mouse and so have almost never used the knobs on this guy. The 2-octave keyboard gets really cramped after awhile, so I just bought an M-Audio Keystation 88 ES. It's kinda like the exact opposite of the Oxygen - it has 88 weighted keys, and only a slider and 2 buttons (other than the wheels. of course).

If you plan on "really" playing keyboards, you are better off looking at the bigger M-Audio keyboards. If you just want a small keyboard to play around with soft syths, the Oxygen will definitely fit better on you computer desk or in your backpack!

All in all, it does what it says and it does it well.
