| Omar Nila 25.06.2010 | sniped a oxygen 8 for 140 aus brand new :P saved myself 80 bucks guess ide rather the 80 bucks than the drum pads on the axiom, one more thing does anyone know were i could find out how to properly take it apart so i could paint it black like eans and one more thing does anyone know were i could get my hands on just maybe 6 of those fluorescent knobs thankyou for all the input guyz |
| Leeanna Ayla 24.06.2010 | Yeah, I'm really diggin that. |
| Omar Nila 24.06.2010 | thanks for the help everyone i believe im going to go with the axiom 25 based on what slangemenneske said about the keys i looked at the novation 25 or the nocturn 25 but i was trying to keep it around 150-250 ausd thanks everyone |

U need to playing live SoftSynth not the way that Piano/Keyboard player Choose |
| Delila Vandommelen 25.06.2010 | Got an Oxygen 25 recently. The only thing I'm not too pleased with is the trigger action on the keys : *they don't start sending notes quickly into the press *sensitivity is mediocre |

| Corine Kasman 24.06.2010 | One thing to be considered with the OXY when deciding between V2 and the 25 (which is really a V3), The V2 uses Enigma for mapping and the 25 has to be programmed on-board (easy to do). But the 25 also adds DirectLink which maps it natively to many popular DAW (and the only keyboard I found that maps into GarageBand) and you get a extra fader! For mainly DJing, the V2 can be easier to map with Enigma, if Enigma is still supported on your system (try before you buy!). But if it is for production work too, I would go for the 25. IMO, the axiom is overkill for a 25 key, stick with a simple compact unit. Phil. |
| Omar Nila 24.06.2010 | cheapest i could find an axiom within aus was at dj warehouse for 230 out of aus it was like 180 or 160 on amazon to bad they wouldn't ship it here found the oxygen 8 from a music store in perth for 150 might just flip a coin :P thanks for the help tell me what you decide on once you do |
| Anna Tutt 24.06.2010 | I'm using an Axiom 25 and I never had problems with it! |
| Rolando Justiss 24.06.2010 | hey mate im pretty much in the same situation you are. im also from aus and was looking at an oxygen 8 or axiom 25....believe guy on inthemix was selling a axiom for like 160 not sure if he still is but yeh. anyways a oxygen 8 v2 is like 140$ from storedj new, but if you look around and have some patience you should be able to get a cheap pick up on a oxygen 8. |
