That's exactly my point. When I bought the Oxygen it was the only
device of that size and with knobs available. For quite some time I
just used it through the midi cable. However now, that Edirol,
Evolution and some other similar devices are available I see no need
why anyone should bother with the complicated setup routine of the
Oxygen on *any* operating system. Even as a Mac or Windows user I
would not buy the Oxygen anymore because I'd be forced to carry a
driver CD around when I visit friends. It's just not the way USB
devices are supposed to be used, IMO.
It seems M-Audio also sees it this way now, because several of their
newer devices like the Trigger Finger don't need any firmware, they
work plug and play with the standard drivers.
Ciao
