My Oxygen Pro 49 has arrived and I have to say that the keybed is really nice and it seems like a great controller keyboard. It feels solid and well made and is quite a bit heavier than the Arturia Keylab Essential 49 making it seem more substantial. I set it up for DAW control in Studio One Pro using the DAW preset which works fine. This uses virtual MIDI3 in/out on the keyboard for Mackie control. Without changing the keyboard DAW profile (I left it on Studio One Pro) I then set it up in Cakewalk using ACT on MIDI3 which also seemed to work fine after some manual configuration. I used an existing Oxygen 49 profile and MIDI learnt some of the buttons/sliders on the new keyboard which I then saved as a new profile for the Oxygen Pro 49. @Mark Morgon-Shaw Presumably this is also what you did? I discovered that MIDI2 seems to be the DIN connectors on the keyboard but I'm not sure what MIDI4 is used for (any ideas?).

Just received an email from Vengeance Sound to say that the sale end in 3 days so get your expansions cheap(er) while you can!

I used up my expansion 5 pack at Christmas so this is tempting although the price isn't as good as the Sweetwater deal was. For VAT payers it's 39 EUR (approx 34 GBP) at Bestservice. Vengeance Sound also still has their Christmas sale running using code XMAS40 at the checkout for expansions and Avenger itself. At the checkout expansions work out at 33 GBP inc VAT.

It started randomly playing G1 notes. If I recorded some playing it would be littered with random G1 notes. It got to the stage where if I tapped the desk it was standing on it would play G1 notes! The pandemic slowed the return process down and the music shop where I bought it were unable to repair it so they sent it back to Arturia. I received it back from them in early December but after initially thinking the problem was fixed gradually G1 notes started appearing at random again. This time the shop agreed to replace it and I had been eyeing up these new Oxygen Pros after feeling a bit let down by Arturia.

Good to know, thanks ?

@Mark Morgon-Shaw I am expecting a new Oxygen Pro 49 to replace my faulty Arturia Keylab Essential 49 (replaced/substituted under warranty). It should be arriving this week. I will let you know if I have any luck integrating it with Cakewalk although one reason for getting this keyboard was the integration with Studio One Pro which I am in the process of migrating to from Cakewalk. I don't know if these new M-Audio Oxygen Pro controller keyboards are the same as the old Oxygen ones but they required DirectLink support which Cakewalk doesn't have. That Editor screenshot looks interesting though as it lists Mackie which should work with Cakewalk. I'll let you know how I get on when it arrives!

Thanks Larry. Also just had an email saying that Objeq Delay has been updated to v1.2.2. Fixes * Peaking LED did not work in the level meter. * The Compare button was enabled even if the preset had not been edited.

@Bajan Blue Nigel, there's also a demo that you can download from Boz's website if you want to try it... https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/the-wall/

Didn't realise that. Will definitely check them out, thanks.

@Tapsa Kuusniemi I'm fairly new to Omnisphere having bought it in the run up to Christmas and only just got around to trying Mutated. There are some really good patches and for free it's a no brainer. Thanks for an excellent freebie! Now you have me interested in some of your other Omnisphere libraries.

Still waiting for Flutes of Fire to show up on APD! Was $9,999 now $19.99

Great timing, just in time to use my $25 monthly voucher, thanks Larry!

Happy and healthy New Year to everyone!

Hey, I'm from the Medway area originally and most of my family are still there. One of my sisters lives near Rochester Castle and we went to a Pretenders and Ultravox gig in the grounds of the castle a few years back. Happy Days Good luck with your renovations!

Merry Christmas to all from a cold and damp North Yorkshire. Fingers crossed for a better 2021 ?? Special mention to Larry for keeping us all topped up with GAS!

Ah yes, that'll be it - fixed. Thanks Piotr.

Tried it with Intensity (of course this price is with VAT) and it seemed to work OK although it reduces the voucher amount (EUR to GBP conversion).

Very cool device. ?

That's the problem with games nowadays; they take up Epic amounts of disk space!

Same for me (also have everything bundle). I reported this issue on the KVR forum and Bulent has replied already...

GeoTenorSax is $2.99 right now until Dec 24th. To get it open GeoShred and go into the GeoShred store to purchase it. Sounds brilliant and is normally $14.99.

Thanks guys, will give the demo a go.

Sounds really nice too Yup, I make that two Xmas gifts

Also Analog Lab V update for anyone who doesn't have collection ?? Note the last bullet point, yay! Also, all of my banks are now showing up ? Analog Lab V 5.0.0 hotfix Improvements: Added Factory and Laboratory keyboards to the list of MIDI Controllers Bug fixes: Fixed font issues when using a case sensitive operating system Fixed crash when browsing presets from the "saved presets" category Fixed crash when loading a preset from the Synthwave bank Fixed issues accessing the Store Fixed issues in which User banks disappeared when reopening Analog Lab V Analog Lab 4 installed presets are now available in ALV, with AL4 licence

Thanks Matthew. It all looks interesting but I like the look of Timeflux which contains sounds crafted by SoundMorph and Ivo Ivanov of Glitchmachines.
