Hey people,
I just received my M-AUDIO Oxygen 61 MIDI Controller and I am very happy, thank you to all the users that helped me decide and set up QTractor, expect me to be asking a lot of questions in the following days.

If you want to add "sounds" to your controller that you can play, such as piano, organ, strings, brass, etc, and also add auto-accompaniment, then try my "BackupBand" program at:

I just wanted to throw this post in here in case any future Linux Musicians find this thread while looking for advice about the Oxygen series.

I bought the Oxygen 49 Mk IV and love it. However, I was just doing some research and, unless I've missed something, with the newer, Mk V version, the midi channels and controls of each of the knobs, sliders, etc. can no longer be changed from within the keyboard itself. It has to be done in a piece of software, which is only available for Mac and Windows. The keyboard will still work with Linux, but for users who have gotten used to the extra customization, this could be a disappointment.

I will be extremely happy if someone corrects me on this. The Mk IV is awesome.
