I was about to buy the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49, until I realized that I might be coming in short on keys....
I'll be using the controller a few different ways...
To control everything from:
-DAW faders, knobs, plugins, etc,
-VI Drums
-VI Horns n Strings (from a couple free Orchestral VIs)
VI- Piano, Organs, etc.
The piano parts are what makes me question that 49 keys is enough.
I'll be playing (or trying to play) boogie style, a la Billy Preston and Ian Stuart.
Will I need a full keyboard to pull this stuff off, or more importantly, to learn how?
Could I stay with the 49 keys, and break parts up into a few takes, from different octaves?
Or could I set the keyboard up in a way where I eliminate certain uneeded octaves?
Thanks.
