Does anyone have any experience of using a

Does it need special drivers or can I just plug it in and have it automatically
found by my machine?
If it's a simple class-compliant controller, it will just show up. If
it has a bunch of features built-in, or isn't class-compliant, it could
be a different story. I've used an M-Audio Oxygen, and it worked fine.
But I also tried an Alesis, and it didn't work so well.
I've used both an Edirol PC-50 and an M-Audio Keystation 88ES and both
worked flawlessly.
My Moog Little Phatty Stage II also shows up and works perfectly,
although that obviously isn't bus powered :-)
Although not keyboards, I have a Korg NanoKontrol and Korg NanoPad, both
the original models, and both work fine.
