Overall: I'll admit I was a little worried this wouldn't work well with Fruity Loops but I just had to change the midi settings a bit and there was no latency issues at all. This product is great, especially for the price. The only thing is that you can't assign the knobs to anything in Fruity Loops...or you can and I haven't figured it out yet. Having this midi controller has made creating melodies and beats A LOT easier and less time consuming. I used to write out the music in Noteworthy Composer and then import the midi file for my melodies and whatnot but with the Oxygen I can just hit the record button and play so I get a more accurate representation of what I hear in my head. I think that for my needs 25 keys is plenty. Honestly I was worried it wouldn't be enough but you can also change the octave with the controller so it's perfect. One thing I didn't realize until I got it was that note velocity changes with how hard you press the key. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

Sound: There is no sound... Its a MIDI controller. And its awesome! Feature: Direct link!!! AWESOME! but make sure its one of the seven or eight they have on their site. They have a file you download and install and it basically links the controller to the DAW flawlessly! Cubase, pro tools, Live, reason, and logic and i think a couple others too. Plus its got a preset scroll through mode! convenient!!! and a track up and down button. So you can almost construct a song completely without touching the PC or mac! Just cant do sequence editing from it. Maybe some day! LOL Ease of Use: Simple, and yet full featured! and really lightweight. Quality: Seems rugged. Haven't owned it for long so we'll see Value: It had all the features i was looking for for a small portable controller. Very pleased! Manufacturer Support: Didn't need it. A noob might need a little help but it doesnt need drivers installed. Class compliant! But Direct link software must be installed for it to link up seamless to your software. Works great with cubase 5!!! Love it! The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? Ok, sure its got some nice curves and a nice bottom... Cmon, the pic says it all. Overall: As long as my son doesnt use it as a toy I think it'll last.

Overall: I am a guitarist and singer who uses a synthesizer module that plays midi, MP3 and WAV files. It also has a built arranger with styles. I connect my M-Audio 25 key Oxygen to the module to provide accompaniment for guest singer. It is small and light weight and perfect for my use.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
