Joe Petrus Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hello all, I'm curious what people are using for USB midi controllers. I did a little bit of searching through the forum, but haven't seen much. I was thinking of getting a m-audio oxygen 49 as it has good reviews (as far as I can tell) and it is very cheap. Can anyone confirm a working oxygen 49 or similar on a osx86 machine? Also, this is a long shot, but does anyone have a Presonus faderport working? Thanks!

mschilling Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I bought a Axiom 25 which is similar to the oxygen 49. The Axioms have the eight drum pads, and semi-weighted keys. Someone had returned the one I bought, so I got a deal at $100. It does have a nice feel to the keys and looks well built, but this is my first midi controller that I've bought. It plugs into the laptop by usb and works fine with GB on my Gateway. I haven't tried the midi connections on the keyboard, but the m-audio usb interface Fast Track Pro I also have works works fine with this laptop, using the latest Leo drivers from m-audio.

Ztardust Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I am using M-Audio keystation and it´s working perfectly on my Acer Aspire Hackintosh. As long as your USB ports are working, and the controller you want to use is OSX compatible, it should work.

Joe Petrus Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thank you to those who replied - I ended up getting an Oxygen 49 and I can say for sure that it does work well with gb and logic. I'm also extra happy that my Presonus Firebox works! It seems to be more of a challenge to get the Oxygen/Firebox working in windows, or perhaps the programs are less intuitive as to how to set them up. I'd prefer to just use os x anyways, so I'm happy. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101459-usb-midi-controllers/#findComment-733485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poredneto Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have Evolution MK461-c. It works with no drivers. Both Leopard 10.5.1 Kalyway and tiger 10.4.9 Kalyway recognize it with no drivers. Works great! Akai MPD16 works on the same Leo with the drivers for Tiger from Akaipro.com site. Piece!

WoJ Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 My Oxygen8 v2 works like a charm Pretty basic controller, few rotary knobs, transport buttons (can be set to any CC value), pitch bend, mod. Didnt have to install any drivers on my Kalyway 10.5.2 hackintosh. I'll try my m-audio uno interface in a sec...as soon as i can remember where i've put it... :s Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101459-usb-midi-controllers/#findComment-748497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
