Ozonic isn't anything like an MP3 player

But while you're considering that, there is another significant option. Look into the Novation X-Station...aside from lacking firewire, you get everything that the Ozonic offers plus (in my opinion) a MUCH better feeling synth-action keybed (M-Audio's feels sort of cheap), and a synth derived from the KS, though not as powerful. An excellent deal, well worth the small amount of extra cost. All this is, again, in my personal opinion.

Hey Worms (Marc),

Thanks for that heads-up. But that's quite a bit more expensive than the Ozonic, don't you think? Looks really nice, though. Do you own one?

Cheers,

I will own one soon enough.

For my purposes, I couldn't get an Ozonic even if I did like it better; 61 keys is a bare minimum for a controller personally, and it's going on the second tier above an 88-key stage piano anyway.

If the Ozonic does what you want, go for it. But try both. Decide what action you like better, and if the preference is with the X-Station, whether the difference in feel is worth the cost to you. Decide if it's worth the extra cost at all to you having the scaled-down (but still great sounding, depending if you like that sort of smooth subtractive style) Novation KS synthesizer in the controller. Keep in mind that the 37-key Ozonic is about the same price as a 25-key X-Station and the 49-key X-Station is about $150 more.
