Hello,
I've been looking for a midi controller and an audio interface to seriously upgrade my laptop for producing...So I was surprised when I saw that M-Audio offers a 3-in-1 solution: Audio interface, Midi interface and Midi controller in one. LINKY
(It looks a bit like the Oxygen8 )
My question: does anyone here have this, or have used it? I want to know if it's really a good thing for producing, I'm not planning to use it live or anything. The fact that it's 3 things on one USB port might suggest it has latency problems?
M-Audio Ozone
I've seen them in stores before and fiddled with them, and it's definitely a lust-worthy gadget. However, the keys and knobs felt kind of low-quality... I'm not sure how a device like this would hold up over time and travel.
Also, it has 2 midi out ports, so if you're worried about latency over the usb bus, you could just connect it to your existing midi interface or soundcard.

Hey,
Thanks for the replies. Yeah I looked at the Ozonic, it's very nice. However, it's a bit too pricey, and I think it's too big to fit in my bedroom lol I think I'd rather go for an Audiophile USB sound card + Oxygen8 in that case.
And as for the durability of the Ozone...Well, I won't be travelling much with it so I think I can keep it in one piece

I got mine with an ableton package about a year ago.
Still like it....even thought the keys and knobs are a little cheap, but I haven't had any problems with it yet.
My only problem is that there isn't enough keys.....I have moved up to a larger controller for playing keys.
It is a really great controller.
buy it

You're staring at a piece of furniture!
