But then it also depends on thecontext. I bought the Axiom 25 keyboard for just that, a keyboard, andI was not even expecting that the knobs and various buttons wouldwork. I bought it only for the keyboard (and the little drum padswhich work nicely). Now, it can be that I could use the knobs forsomething, maybe whit Ardour, but I haven't spent time on that. Now,it could very well be that these knobs work plug & play with WindowsMIDI software. >From my point of view it is very clear that M-Audio does not supportLinux. What can you expect from a company that does not supportLinux ? This is not Linux's shortcomings. This has clearly nothing todo with Linux. I've chosen Linux very knowingly and I do not expect itto be like Windows. In fact, that's two months now that the English version of LinuxMagazin has a full-page advert about a mostly Windows 'shareware'magazine and it makes me want to not renew my subscription. Not onlyit is mostly Windows, but it is about shareware, which is a sad parodyof Open Source's organized way of developing code. That's it, I'm not renewing my subscription ! ;-) > Just as my terratec.

Well, the M-Audio Axiom 25 and Prokeys88, as well as Alesis' ControlPad all plug through USB and they all work since the first plugin, soto speak. Too bad you had firmware problems with the Oxygen keyb.Maybe I was lucky at the store when I picked up an Axiom instead of anOxygen.
