I'm just interested in what you guys personally assign those sliders and knobs to?

Parameters within a synthesizer, like the filter cutoff, attack, release, chorus wet/dry , etc - anything that you twiddle with often.

Oh ok, is it possible to assign the sliders/knobs to parameters in a number of synths? And then it just changes it for the synth you have in the foreground on your computer?

I think I'll go for the Oxygen 49 any objections before I get it ordered?

oxygen 49 is what i got as my starter midi keyboard and i am very happy with it:)

i have had it for a year now and have had a few drunken sessions where i am literally pounding on the keys , and nothing has ever broken so fuck what that other dude says.

I personally think M-audio keyboards are shite, ive had a Midair 25 and a Axiom and they both broke, keys stopped working and the extra bug outs, liek on the midair 25, the slider in the middle would constantly move parameters even when it wasn't be touched...

I keep my equipment in order as well - not dropped nor battered.

Depending on how high it falls from...

Seriously, in my experience they are good keyboards, nothing to do with Edirols for instance. Just don't hit keys like a retard and you'll be fine.
