REVIEWS – WHAT ARTISTS SAY
CHEMICAL BROTHERS (Electronic Duo):
“The OXI sequencer is one of the most intuitive yet deep sequencers I’ve ever used – it’s endlessly inspiring and a lot of fun! Excited to try the new version.”
ANDREAS TILLIANDER (Music Artist):
“The OXI One is far from the only sequencer I use, but it is the one I use the most. Whether I work at home with just my laptop or in the studio, where I send CV/Gate to my Buchla system and ARP 2600, among other vintage analog and newer MIDI instruments. Its portability and battery life make it the perfect companion while touring. I use it on stage of course, but also while making music on the train towards the gig. It is my favorite travel companion!”
ESTROE (Music Artist):
“I use the OXI One with my modular setup, and it’s amazing for both live performances – whether crafting beats or melodic structures – and for making music in the studio. Even on days when I’m pressed for time, I can jump right in and start creating without missing a beat. It’s become an essential part of my setup.”
ROBIN KAMPSCHOER (Music Artist):
“The basics are easy to learn, but there’s so much depth to explore, and I’m always discovering new features that inspire me. Even on days when I’m pressed for time, I can jump right in and start creating without missing a beat. It’s become an essential part of my setup, providing support in my modular adventures, and I truly love how it enhances both my performances and my studio sessions. On top of that, the active and helpful Oxi Discord community has been a great resource, making it even easier to learn and grow with the device.”
RAY KANGDING (Music Artist):
“Each sequencer has its own way, which might lead to specific results. The OXI approach is different, I see it more like a platform that you shape to your own needs. It is the most open concept I have encountered so far in the realm of hardware sequencing.”
