All user reviews for the M-Audio O2

Simple enough

UTILIZATION

The touch is nice and not too hard I think it will soften a bit over time.

configuration c is plug and then detect any c

use is apparently not too complicated, although I have not found any functions.

The pitch bend is rotten but not normal c wheel not vary as a personal will, but that is enough.

the manual is on a sheet of paper, therefore, (

OVERALL OPINION

2 days.

I like the size of the unit. cot for the negative: the velocity to me that is over 3 floors. a low, medium and strong recognizable. can be only use it will get better

Report Q / P, I would say that 178 c a reasonable price to see a bit too much I make the product 150 if I could but then the keyboard and comes with a USB cord and Reason Express, already c not bad for the price

8 rotary knobs, a fader, and lots of buttons to assign a single mouse click ... more than enough to tweak a lot of paramtres in real time without taking head.

USB and MIDI out, power supply jack.
Branch it was planted in USB Fruity Loops without stopping, see the whole PC (380W PSU TruePower of).

Feeds via USB or via optional external power supply (transformer qques euros a simple enough).

UTILIZATION

Archi simple to use: an assignable knobs click.

BUT touch abominable, trs drive. Forced to jump both feet on it to draw the maximum VLOC.

Unusable as the keyboard ... ok if you just want to use the assignable knobs.

OVERALL OPINION

I got a prs year, but I use it not for lack of taste and preferences for computer music for a real synth requires.
The best: not bulky at all and super lightweight. Gnial to take on holiday with a laptop. Except that it is unbearable and not working well. This keyboard is terrible.
I am relieved to have sold. For a little more there is the MicroKorg, which is not only better but also gnre keyboard sounds from hell, and is far more beautiful, with its wooden edges ... In short, the O's really not the case. Madame d'occasion!

EDIT: I eventually bought a master keyboard in the same brand, Axiom 49, and I can tell you that GOOD absolutely silent. Much bigger and heavier, yes, but excellent touch and quality manufacturing of high level. So it's not brand the problem here, but this particular product.

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?

so I apppaaat c'es it is ultra thin and lightweight and I wanted to take a beast on vacation, the type if I hound my car crying. Otherwise this thing is not to please ...

- What connector (MIDI pedals ...)?...

USB, MIDI OUT, sustain, and electric power (Obviously not provided, but a transformer is more than morpion)

UTILIZATION

- The touch keyboard is it enjoyable? Should you use?

provides no touch sensation, as a petting lzard death. Anyway to make beats on the Ableton Live can go camping (too bad we can not connect to Rhot gas)

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

We plug, we play but it's the least we can do.

- The select MIDI channels, patches is easy?

ah ben has seen ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I the download one time or another but I understand it is a confetti

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

1 hour ago ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

frankly, its size and minimum weight are its main assets, APRS is a keyboard that is different from a keyboard by one ordino dtail you can not type a letter aisment d Mission thanks him.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Oh yes, I know what evolution (449C?)-Stable super live, faders and buttons for cheap; an emu x-board 25-I have to change the first to DCON, but now a roll with 16 knobs, and a novation remote sl 37 - of the killing but I matrise yet thoroughly with Automap mode its cool but twisted. Of course I keep all three and prfre to work with me and scne.

- How do you report qualitprix?

I considered scary until I dgote of the opportunity this afternoon to 60 APRS euroboules, otherwise I would pass my way.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

the exprience, after an hour, is successful for what I want to do but I imagine that it works as long as it will be totally biodgrader. So if put into one year, I will not reputable that woodlouse worse than what I have to swing and even higher praise I (knock on wood).

It's got Knobs, faders, and keys. Not bad for a 25 key portable keyboard. However, M-Audio controllers with more keys and the same amount of knobs and faders cost less money. The keys are half-action, which means that the keys dont depress (go down) as much as a regular keyboard. This is really a hate it or love it thing. I like it cuz it let's you play the keyboard faster, but at the same time it doesn't have as great a range of velocity levels.

Price paid: $199.95

UTILIZATION

It's a midi keyboard controller. It's VERY easy to use.

OVERALL OPINION

It's quality is the best you can really get for that price. It feels a little cheap and plasticy, but it's not so bad that it takes away from playing it.

I like it. It's not necessarily the best midi controller, but it's M-Audio's best portable keyboard.

- What technical features/characteristics motivated your choice?
I wanted a small, possibly portable keyboard with a fair amount of assignable knobs & things. Oh, and i needed it to be cheap.
This one has those 'features'.

- What connection types are there (MIDI, pedals...)?...
Now i sold this so check before you buy...there is a USB connector, that's for sure, and i think there is also a MIDI out but i'm not sure anymore.

It's quite basic but, still, it has quite a lot of buttons & knobs to fiddle with.

UTILIZATION

- Is the action/feel of the keyboard nice? Does it suit your needs?
Ouch.
Need i say more? This keyboard is small, light & cheap, and that's exactly what the keys are: small & cheap.
Hard to talk of a 'feel' at this stage. I have very little experience with keyboards (i own a Yamaha PSR-90...which says a lot, doesn't it?...and a MicroKorg) but this is the worst i've ever touched.

- Is the general configuration/setup simple?
Using it is simple, very simple, but beware: no Windows 2000 drivers. You need XP. They probably have Vista drivers by now but that wasn't out when i had mine.

- Is the channel/patch selection simple?
Seemed simple enough, i didn't keep it long enough to really say, though...sorry.

- Is the manual clear and sufficient?...
Same as above.

OVERALL OPINION

In my experience, totally unusable. Absolute rubbish.
Yes, i mean it.

The action of the keys is about 2 mm (ok, i'm exagerating here, but you get my drift...).
You have to jump onto the keyboard with all your weight to get the velocity to his 127...and you can't set the velocity curves...aaarrrgh...!!!

The best thing about it was the knobs & buttons...i guess you could use those quite easily...but forget about the keyboard.

Overall? I feel sorry for the guy who bought this off me. Looking back, it's the sort of rubbish you'd probably throw out the window, break with an axe or burn just out of frustration if youo could afford to...

BUT....BUT....don't go & think all M-Audio products are this bad...!
After my terrible O2 experience, i bought the Axiom 49...a FANTASTIC MIDI keyboard...just brilliant throughout. Ok, it's twice the price and 10 times the weight...but WOW! You can actually USE it...think about that...
