Thats a synth and also 360 pounds. I didn't want something quite so expensive and only a Midi/audio inferface. Thanks anyway
anyone else got any suggestions?

It's also a small MIDI keyboard and an audio interface.

whatever you buy dont buy m-audio ozonic, it sucks and can fuck you computer with its shiti firewire and power source.


really stay away from m-audio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing probably isn't all that great (no mic input):

The Ozonic isn't that bad. You can probably find a used one really cheap. Also look for used M-Audio O-Zones. Edirol used to make a really slim one with a built-in USB interface (but with RCA line in and out only).

Edirol PCR 1, no idea about sound quality but anything will be better than Behringer
Novation Xio, smaller than X station, better keys than Edirol.

Thanks but i would rather kill myself than get a Behringer product that has audio running through it. midi only OK, but not Audio.

I do like the look of this thing, but a bit pricey

+1 for Xiosynth.

Can't go wrong with a built in X/Y pad. Just wish it had the Z function!
