the only thing i can see this being used for is people who use laptops for production and wanna pack a keyboard into their backpack so they can produce pretty much anywhere.....

but other than that, this isn't really the best decision for a studio set up at all...

it's not like these midi keyboards are expensive..no matter which length they are...they are very inexpensive, so purchase one with 61 keys or more.

yea that's my take on it as well!... I'm getting that Edirol PCR-80, 61 key controller... and it's not terribly priced either. I want the octave range!

if a skateboard is longer than your keyboard controller...than you've got problems...thats my rule =)

too bad it's NOT a one octave conroller.. it's two octaves!! :P

it isn't only useful if you want to carry it around - for me it's good becuase I'm in a dorm setting. I had a full 61 key keyboard before this and it was a lumbering dinasour when I wanted to take it home and to have it around.. with this I can throw it on my lap and just play around :)

I don't really use the keys much anyway.. I mostly use the knobs.. for that purpose you shouldn't get an oxygen8.. get an mk-25c.. it's made by evolution which is a sub-company of m-audio...

but I will admit that 25keys can be a little limiting when I'm just playing around :( but I don't mind much..
