[linux-audio-user] midi keyboard controller

i have been looking for a midi keyboard controller to use with the linux music machine i am putting together... i would like something that fits the following description... is cheap: i am thinking of maybe spending 100 to 150 usd. works with linux: i am looking for a keyboard that has no synth or anything.. just piano keys and maybe a few programmable controllers.. smallish footprint: i don't need 88 keys.. a couple of octaves is fine. i was thinking the m audio oxygen 8 looks like a fun little gig.. does anyone know if this works with that kinda setup? does anyone else have any other suggestions? thanks! ___ peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary www.coffee-black.com
