M Audio Oxygen 61 MKV 61 key Keyboard Controller
A New Level of Epic Playability
M-Audio breathes new life into your music with their latest Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers. These next-generation Oxygen MK-series keyboards offer full-size, synth-action, velocity-sensitive keys as well as two full banks of eight velocity-sensitive pads, making it one of the most playable MIDI controllers you'll get your hands on. Easy-to-navigate, assignable controls automatically map to your favorite DAW, with Smart Chord and Smart Scale options that make it a breeze to freestyle correct notes in any key. And with compatibility with Windows, Mac, and iOS devices, Oxygen MK-series keyboards are perfect for your grab-and-go synth rig.
Streamlined controls improve your workflow
Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are designed to supercharge your creativity by keeping your hands on the instrument and off of a mouse. M-Audio divided the control layout cleanly into separate sections to streamline your workflow and dramatically decrease the learning curve. For instance, the transport has its own dedicated section under the encoder knobs, so you can't get it confused with the on-the-fly selector buttons near the LCD display.
Instant mapping for popular DAWs and plug-ins
Automapping automatically assigns slider, encoder, and transport controls to parameters such as track volumes, pans values, and other common functions. If you're using a standard DAW such as Pro Tools, Reason, or Cubase, there's literally no setup involved. Also, your Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controller includes built-in factory presets that support popular virtual instruments, so you'll rarely need to manually map out a thing.
Everything you need to make music
M-Audio Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are loaded with smart features that pack everything you need to make music into one powerful package. No need to get bogged down in pesky music theory — Oxygen MKV controllers come stock with a Smart Chord mode that lets you play sophisticated enharmonic or custom chord voicings, and a Smart Scale mode to eliminate incorrect notes for virtuosic-level solos. Also onboard is a full-featured Arpeggiator with type, octave, gate, and swing controls. DAW transport controls, ergonomic pitch-bend and mod wheels, a sustain pedal jack, and USB-MIDI complete the robust setup. Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers also come with MPC Beats and Ableton Live Lite DAW software, as well as a generous virtual instrument plug-in and MPC expansion pack bundle.
iOS connectivity for easy recording and performance
More musicians are using iOS as an integral part of their creative processes. Using Apple's Camera Connection Kit, you can connect to any iOS device and use your Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controller to control multitrack recording and virtual instrument apps. That makes it a natural fit for your mobile music rig, whether you're creating electronic music at the coffee shop or rocking out with your favorite virtual instrument apps onstage.
