Now I can dork out with the rest of you. ;-)

Right on Beepster!! Which one did you get?

@Mesh... I just picked up a little Oxygen 25. I'll get an 88 key when I have more room/money. I may however end up using my old DX7 for stuff that requires a larger keyboard but it's a pig and apparently is from before MIDI was completely standardized so I gotta do some patch stuff with it. I'm excited to finally play around with all the synths I have with Sonar on a higher level than just poking at the GUI with my mouse. :-)

2nd best euphemism by Beepster EVER!!!!!

Good for you Beeps. Hopefully it'll work nicely with Sonar (not sure if it has an ACT preset), but Cake's Generic Surface template should work.

The leaflet is yammering on about something called DirectLink. Not sure how much extra M-Audio crap I want on my system though.

Man... why do they give you such rinky dink little cables with these things? I've got a super long USB cable hooked up to my system for my padKontrol but I read somewhere that Korg stuff likes to reside on one port and using other MIDI devices on the same port screws it up. Sooooooo lame. I guess I'd better buy some USB cables but for now I guess my DAW will have to tolerate my halitosis.

25 keys? you've got to be kidding, what can you possibly play on 25 keys...
not to mention m-audio oxygen has crappy keys action.
 

Good score, you'll like it I think.

I have an O2, I like it. If I want more keys I have a Yamaha PSR-2100. I can disable local control on it and use it as a controller, plus it has decent sounds onboard. When I bought it, it was the breakpoint between crummy sounds and too high pricing. (the cheapest one I could find that had decent bass and piano sounds). I still want a Roland A-800 controller though.

BTW, I could play chords on 25 keys.
