not to be indecisive, but they're both capable controllers. why not go to a music store & see how they feel??

the keyboard action, the aesthetics...

(myself, using an oxy8)

but planning on getting the (more expensive) ozone, an oxy8 with a good audio interface.

either way, go for it!

thnks fisherking,

good suggestion, I will go to samash tomorrow. Any other music store in nyc you'd recommend instead?

-t

also, so there is no reason to get one over the other but feel?

u might go to the "reason" board (for example) and scout out opinions. (do a search)

here.


otherwise, try them. the edirol has all those cool sliders, but...how do the keys feel? be sure there are drivers for your os, too (m-audio has drivers for the oxy8 in both os9 & X..)

and samash owns mannys (!), so it's all the same...
