I picked up an Oxygen8 to use with FL and I love it. This combo was
one of the best investments that I've made in a long time. It's small
size is perfect for my desktop and the knobs make it easy to control
all sorts of things. I definitely think it's helped get my creative
juices going. I cringe at the thought of programming the piano roll by
hand.
