Sometimes the older kit is all you really need.

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2020

I use it to control a kludged-together MIDI sound-generating system. An ancient Yamaha QY10 sequencer, as well as a computer-based DAW. So I needed both DIN and USB MIDI, and I needed to be able to program the knobs and buttons as well. The Oxygen8v2 is perfect for the job. Just took one star off for "sturdiness" as the thing could have a better overall feel to it. It feels kind of "plasticky" ... which it is. And the keys themselves are a little noisy in their mechanics.
I wish M-Audio would still make something in this class. Sampson Graphite 25 (not M25) is another oldie that would be good but I couldn't find one for sale.

Keyboard Entry

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This controller does everything it said that it was going to do. I have used very few of the features that it has. I have used it to enter musical notation into Sibelius, including 6.0. It has been flawless at what it does. Paradoxically, I don't use it anymore. Most accordions, for which I write, have 41 keys and tones. Four-row button boxes have even more. This model has 25 keys. I used up a lot of time and energy to compensate for that problem. I found that I quickly ran out of keyboard space. I didn't spend any time doing real time entry. I didn't want to take time to correct such things as triple-dotted eighth rests even if that was the way I played them. In the end I put this device on the shelf and went back to doing all my entry with the mouse. I'm much happier to have the control and be able to enter the score correctly the first time. It gives me a feel for the piece that I never have with higher speed entry devices. This is a fine piece of equipment, it just wasn't how I preferred to create the score.

Great MIDI Keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2009

Verified Purchase

When I purchased this product I was looking for an entry level midi controller with more than just a keyboard. The Oxygen 8 V2 was exactly what I needed. I installed the drivers in Vista 32 bit and it was instantly recognized in Reason 4. I recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and I am glad to say the keyboard was recognized instantly as the Oxygen 8 V2 without installing any drivers before hand. So Windows 7 64 bit users need only plug and play for full functionality.

The keys are not weighted, not a huge issue for me. They feel like a combination of rubber and plastic which is better than a pure plastic feel. The knobs are made of a similar material and when twisted have a little resistance, just the right amount. The buttons have short throws and feel very responsive. I have not played around with any of the advanced features of the keyboard such as velocity curves because it has worked great for me thus far.

The 25 keys are enough for simple melodies and chords. I am not a piano player but I do wish I had a few more keys to learn. Simply pressing the octave up/down button makes life easy.

Overall, if you are looking to play around with a keyboard in your music software of choice you can't go wrong with the Oxygen 8 V2. This product has definitely enhanced my music production experience.

Good controller, great value!

I use this controller for travelling. I'm afraid plastics are becoming cheaper and cheaper, keys are becoming yellowish, even I don't play it very often and no sunshine over it...

Great controller

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2013

Just about anything by M-Audio is great. I got this for two reasons. One for playing left handed bass lines when recording and another to act as a "keyswitch" also when recording. Pitch and mod wheel, assignable control and DAW transport buttons. $50. How can you beat that?

Perfect, simple MIDI keyboard for people who just want to noodle around in GarageBand.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2013

So simple and easy to use, it kind of changed my life -- or at least, my relationship with music.

I'm not anybody's idea of a musician, but this plug-and-play USB keyboard made it so easy to play and experiment in GarageBand that I wrote a couple of albums' worth of songs. I'm not saying they were good, and I don't expect anyone else to listen to them, but the point is that this is a really easy way to start fooling around with music without having to master a lot of the technical elements. Just plug it in and go -- your computer powers it through the USB cable, and although there are a few knobs you can program if you want to, in its default setting it's ready to play. (Keep in mind, though, that this is ONLY a MIDI controller -- that is, you can't make sounds by playing it separately from the computer. You have to be running some sort of sequencing program, like GB, that can interpret the keystrokes and turn them into sound.)

This keyboard is also quite sturdy -- I took mine to Iraq and entertained myself during a 15-month deployment by making electronic music.

If all you really want is a cheap, simple way to bang out some sounds using a basic sequencing program like GB, I highly recommend this. I had so much fun making electronic music with this keyboard that now I'm teaching myself ukulele. So... I love it!

Nice Product

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2008

Verified Purchase

I bought this product really not knowing much about MIDI. So far it has worked great with my Cubase software. I think for a starter Midi input device/keyboard it offers enough features to get any beginner starter in the right direction. Easy to install - requires no additional power supply, powered by the USB. Comes with some free software to get you started if you don't have any.
