Re: M-Audio Oxygen8 v2 and Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet
Thank you for all your suggestions and comments. I decided to buy the M-Audio keyboard. I also need the tablet, but maybe another time ;) -- Ufuk http://ufuxlinux.com On Friday 05 December 2008 12:52:27 Karoliina Salminen wrote: Hello, I have M-audio Axiom 25 which I use as a portable 2 octave keyboard.

M-Audio Oxygen8 v2 and Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet
Hello, I am a long time Ubuntu user but newbie at mutimedia production and graphics. I also have low budget which forces me to choose one of these products. Let me explain a little: I am playing with Jack and software synthesizer programs like Zynaddsubfx. I needed a midi keyboard. I found this model, the M-Audio Oxygen8 v2. Does anyone know about this keyboard? I want to learn it is useful or not and whether it is Linux friendly or not. I am also playing with Inkscape and the Gimp. I thought that a tablet might be useful for this. Do you suggest Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet for a beginner like me? Finally I need to hear your suggestions about which one is much worth to buy first. Because of my low budget, I need to choose one of them. Thanks.

It works but I find I don't really use it all that often. I am not sure how well the newer devices are supported. Contrast this with my M-Audio Axiom, I use it almost daily right now, so obviously I would recommend the keyboard over the tablet :) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

I'm using wacom tablet since 2003, model CTF420, very close the bamboo model, it's plug and play in ubuntu since dapper. I think it's better in ardour/cinelerra/kdenlive/ and all the video/audio editing software using a timeline than a mouse. i'm using it for image editing under the gimp, inkscape, scribus and blender, it's a large pleasure. That's a good choice.
