While checking out their web site I also found new Oxygen 88 keyboard with MIDI OUT. They finally realised that USB is not what makes a MIDI keyboard and a hardware synthesizer work together, which sure will get them more business from synth players. Cool.

 

I found the "USB only" idea plain unimaginative. Why deliberately cut off themselves from a large part of the MIDI controller market?

I wouldn't get too crazy about it without actually seeing and hearing it. When I think "synths" I don't ever think "M-Audio".

 

 

When some people hear "Yamaha," they think Motorcycles. They make some fantastic controllers and they have a reputation to lose. I'm at least open to the reality they could turn out a good synth.

im interested to see this. it makes a lot of sense for m - audio to release a product like this, if it turns out the way i think it will turn out.

 

i will be looking for your demo gus! make me a nice thick distorted NIN sounding line if you think of it during you demos! i love to hear the way onboard distortions on synths interact with a high rez modulated filter. i always listen to that first for some reason.

That's
exactly
what people said (myself included) when Alesis came out with their first synth...

 

 

This is exactly what I was going to post but, then I had to run some errands. Alesis started out making efx and recording gear and then synths. M-Audio has been making sound libraries and controllers for years. This seems like a natural progression given there background and backing.
