kcinsu Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 new from m-audio, looks like it kicks the shit out of the oxygen, also looks more solid LINK
Guest ~ism Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 theres a new oxygen series too though. oxygen 8 v2. much better nick than the original.
Guest Cyanescens Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 thats pretty cool. theres a mini korg with drum pads too. that thing looks sick. but i dont like to buy the 'all in one' stuff.
Guest Promo Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Looks phat. Controllers are the new analogue synths.
Guest maus Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 the axioms are indeed sweet. i got my hands on them at NAMM, and was sold pretty much right away. i was going to be picking up a kontrol 49 from korg, as i love the level of control and the feel of the keys, but these axioms feel great (semi-weighted, just a great response), and the trigger pads and transport controls don't hurt. plus, there's a 61 key version, and it's retailing for about $300 US! not a bad deal at all. just waiting for them to come out... cheers, c
kokoon Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 who the fuck need drumpads?? if there was a version with 8 sliders instead of the drumpads i'd take one immediately!
Guest ~ism Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 who the fuck need drumpads?? ask the thousands who bought MPCs for years.
Guest blicero Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 if you want drumpads, get a "trigger finger." i'm not impressed with any controller that doesn't have an x/y pad or, at the very least, an x/y joystick for pitch/mod. the mod/pitch wheel is so unneccessary these days.

I wont be getting one of these, cause Im set with my stuff, but I think its a pretty good deal for people looking to get a controller. x/y pad? Why? and the mod/pitch wheel isnt unneccessary!
Guest feta lol Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 i think it's gay how the trigger finger can be mounted on a mic stand, but not for any peticualr reason, it's just gay.
Guest blicero Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 x/y pad? Why? and the mod/pitch wheel isnt unneccessary! x/y pad is the ultimate. it's allowed me to do so much more with my music. i can't wait to perform live.... i can improvise beats with it. it's a total joy. the most expressive interface i've ever played with. and the mod/pitch wheel has been made obsolete by the x/y joystick. i should work for novation doing in-store demos... i wonder if they'd hire me? nah, i'm not famous.
kcinsu Posted February 14, 2006 Author Posted February 14, 2006 improvise beats? I don't like twiddling drums with knobs, I like to write out everything, but thats just me.
Guest blicero Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 improvise beats? I don't like twiddling drums with knobs, I like to write out everything, but thats just me. your live shows must be enthralling.

I don't like twiddling drums with knobs, I like to write out everything, but thats just me. your live shows must be enthralling. i dont play live, and if I did, Id find some friends who could actually play stuff, instead of twirling an x/y stick, thinking im entertaining the fuck out of the audience
Guest blicero Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 all i'm saying is... i can press play on winamp from home, i don't need to go to a gig to watch some guy press play and bob his head. i like electronic shows that have a genuine live element. some improvisation is required, not just tweaking fx or supatrigga.
kcinsu Posted February 14, 2006 Author Posted February 14, 2006 right, I agree. It's just when you said triggering drums with the x/y, tweaking fx and supatrigga is what it seemed you were refering to. so when I say, I write out my stuff, it doesnt mean I cant improve with it, I can trigger different breaks etc. I just dont want to move an x/y controller and have some reaktor patch go booomstishchajaaaaatickzoopomblipityshit. but this is all hypothetical, as I dont play live right now.

Guest Cyanescens Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 i have o ne of those ghetto radium ones. :confused:
