Mac,

You dawg is right!

I like my old Ensoniq VFX SD keyfeel. I hate the keyfeel on the Oxygen - but it does have 9 sliders (hm, wonder why 9?) and specifically has a drawbar mode of operation, Enigma software notwithstanding. Thanks again for the Enigma reference - I hope I can get done what I'm trying to do using it in some fashion.

I couldn't remember which M-Audio board you had. I didn't know there were any M-audio boards besides the Oxygen series with sliders. Sorry about that. BTW - I did finally get a password reset for my M-Audio account and hopefully will be getting some help with doing what I'm trying with the assignable buttons.

The Oxygen 49 is very lightweight - can carry it under one arm, but I wouldn't drop it - I think it would shatter into pieces. Another problem with the lightweight nature of the beast is that if you do gliss with it, don't push too hard or you can send it off of the v-arms of an Ultimate keyboard stand (I have first hand experience with this - caught it just in time before it dove to the floor).

I just thought that maybe you could use just the slider section of the Oxygen 49 board to do what you want to do. Looks cheaper than the DIY solution that's out there, and it should work directly. Keep the DX7 as one of the 'manuals' and keep fooling that kid!
