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! |

I'm a huge fan of the Oxygen8. While there are only 8 knobs (and a slider), there are multiple preset settings so you can assign the knobs to controls, go to the next preset, and basically have a new set of 8 controls. I forget how many presets it has.
A lot of people swear by the Oxygen8 in an Ableton Live/Propellerhead Reason setup. Especially with a Powerbook or iBook...it's small and very portable. If you're looking to really write complex music with it, however, such as piano scores, it is a bit limiting since it only has a few octaves. -------------------- Powerbook 15" 1Ghz 768MB :: MOTU 828 ::
Logic Platinum 6 :: Propellerhead Reason 2.5 :: Ableton Live 3.0.1 :: Peak 4 :: Midiman Oxygen8 :: M-Audio BX-5 Monitors :: Firewire drive |
