All user reviews of 1/5 for the M-Audio Oxygen 8

I got it because one of the musicians in a band that i am very fond of (Cursive) used it and it seem simple enough, so i got one. It was about $130 fro guitar center.

Honestly, since i can't use the thing i have found nothing that i like about it. Other than the fact that the nobs have a nice rubbery grib to them.

Ok, this thing is a big large piece of poo poo. Seriously, the keys are very hard to push, and the softwear dosen't work. The softwear that comes with it is out dated and they know that, so you have to go online and download the new version wich is free by the way. Then you do that and think that you have finally got it alright and then it tells you that you don't have a driver you need. Again. It's pathectic, read other reviews on the net. It happens to everyone.

Well, it seem to be built pretty solid and and thick, like the people's heads who made it.

Bottom line is, if it worked it'd be good for the money, but since it dosen't and isn't simple and is nothing like advertised, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS THING!!! I would give it a -10 on a scale from 1-5.
