I used many different brands of MIDI controllers, and was given an OXY 61 by M-Audio to review in my new book: Composing Digital Music For Dummies. Composing Digital Music For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
I’ve found that it works great with almost all software, and has some built-in settings to help interface with programs like Reason and Ableton, which help speed the learning curve. I’ve found it simple to use, yet it supplies a lot of advanced features, the best combination.

I’m starting a little home studio and this is the perfect tool to start making music in your pc or playing live using any sound you like from a multimedia library. It has all de gadgets you’ll need to control the different aspects of the effects on the sound your playing. For the price there’s nothing like it and M-Audio runs with everything. Is a plug-and-play hardware for pc or mac. If mine broke down I’d buy it again.

I’ve been playing my Oxygen 61-key for a while and I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the keyboard. The keys are weighted well. Not too stiff and definitely not loose, giving them a realistic feel. The controls are easily mapped to your virtual instrument. The modulation and pitch control wheels allow fine tuning of the sound.
I’ve used many MIDI controllers, including other M-Audio products and I think this is the most realistic feeling controller I’ve played.

The Oxygen 61 Controller is just what I wanted in a controller. The action is workable for most any circumstance I have come across. The Price was very good considering all the features

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RYX1FZGEY9OSU I got to admit, I am a newbie at MIDI. I decided to buy the Oxygen 61 as per suggestions from the salesman and so far I’m impressed with it. After just one night trying to get the hold of it, I was able to create some cool samples with the bundled software Ableton Live 6 (it says 4 in the box but this is not true). At first I didn’t have a clue on how to program all those controls it comes with, but some YouTube and Ableton’s documentation helped me a lot. I’m still trying to figure out how to use the controls next to the display but overall I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase.

First of all, it IS vista-32bit/Mac compatible. Thing with vista is you have to download the Vista 32-bit driver off their website
[...]
Pros:
-Light-weight
-Looks clean and very professional
-Nearly every key/slider/knob is assignable
-Cheap
-Easy to setup
-Works for both Mac & Windows
Cons:
-Userguide that comes with it doesn’t show you how to do anything
-Had to manually go to their website and download the vista-32bit driver.
-Driver Installation CD only works for XP/Mac
