M-Audio Oxygen 61 61-Key USB MIDI Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's really unfortunate the other reviews aren't more universal and fair when it comes to this MIDI Controller.
I bought it a few weeks ago, and it does EXACTLY what I expected it to (and more) ~ The materials it's made out of are perfect. On my computer it functions perfectly (my computer recognized it no problem using Vista) ~
Regardless, this keyboard fits perfectly on my desk, is solid, feels just like all my regular keyboards as far as quality goes... and well... gosh... I don't have a single complaint.
If you don't look at the system requirements before buying this keyboard --- please don't leave a negative review on it just because you failed to do your part.
It's time to upgrade your computer from Windows 3.1 folks --- and stop slamming technology around like a big angry monkey :) ~
Pardon my humor, I just love this MIDI Controller & feel sorry for the company that made it as they have to suffer unfair reviews like the ones I've seen.
"MY CAR DOESN'T WORK!!! YOUR DEALERSHIP IS HORRIBLE!!!!" --- "Did you fill it with gas sir?" --- "FILL IT WITH WHAT!?!?!" --- "Gas..." --- "STOP TALKING DOWN TO ME!!! YOU'RE ALL HORRIBLE!!!!" [stomps out of the room and walks down the street with his clothes inside out wearing his glasses upside down]
Yes, those are the kinds of people that are leaving reviews on this product :D!!!
Just to answer a quick concern I had --- YES! It does work with FL Studio 9.
