Hello.
I'm thinking about buying a 25 key keyboard to do some composition under
linux. Is there any list of recommended devices, known to work OK? I've
thought about the M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 or the M-Audio Axiom 25. Anyone
uses them? Any other good suggestions?
Cheers,
Pedro

Recently I bought the Axiom 25, partly because of the finger pads which
are good for percussion but can also generate continuous pressure data
too. Keyboard is great and has good aftertouch. Odd are the rasterd
knobs which I dont like that much. But the firmware has a trick, when
you turn them fast, the jump is higher.
And it works out of the box with Linux but dont know about the Enigma
settings programmer, cant run Wine at the moment. I programmed once a
setting with it under Windows but actually prefer programming now
directly on the keyboard and dont do it that often anyway.
Here is a video of my first live gig with it:
Ah, and by the way, the synthesizer is a software I wrote recently and I
am about to opensource it soon. Laptop runs 64 Studio, more info in the
youtube text
