5.0 out of 5 stars Great little midi controller, December 1, 2006

This review is from: M-Audio O2 Mobile USB MIDI Controller (Electronics)

I bought this midi controller mainly for playing with virtual synthesizers, but the uses for it are hardly limited to that. It works great so far, just plug it in and that's pretty much it depending on the program. It is very light and slim, which makes it very portable. From the research I've done, this seems to be the new model to replace the Oxygen8, which is very similar but lacks the 8 programmable buttons and is slightly heavier. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is starting to get into music production with programs like Reason, Fruity Loops, etc or for anyone looking for a good little midi controller. For this price you can't beat the quality and functionality.

This very-easy-to-use MIDI controller plugs into the USB port, that's it, that's all you have to do. You get a great touch-sensitive keyboard with weighted keys and tons of assignable MIDI parameters. An extensive manual ships with it (on CD-ROM) along with a half-size "quick start" guide. Now I'll admit I haven't figured out all of the MIDI programmable features yet, but only because I've been having so much fun playing with the basic plug-and-play keyboard. This thing rocks!!!
