There's also a 49 key version with 12 knobs, which I own, and am very happy
with. I really like the look of the 2 octave one for portable use, too.
Evolution makes good keyboards. The keys feel like normal synthy keys, but
are quite sturdy. The oxygen8 keys are "unhinged," meaning that it's thin
plastic that's bent each time you press the key. Although I'm sure they
did enough tests to ensure that the plastic is durable, it means that a) it
will wear out eventually, and b) better not break a key :) The evolution
keys are on springs.
The new evolution midi controllers also have USB, and I use mine in a setup
where it receives power from the USB cable (so it doesn't use any other
power supplies) and it exports midi along standard midi cables. The setup
involved plugging it in, which I thought was really nice -- I didn't have
to say "send out here, not here, etc."
but, of course, is just my humble opinion :D
