M-audio Oxygen 61 MKV USB Keyboard Controller-Pads, Pots, Fader

With features like Note Repeat (a key component in beat production), Full Velocity Control of keys and 8 pads, 8 assignable knobs for controlling effect plugins and virtual instruments, and 9 assignable faders for mixing, the Oxygen 61 (MKV) controller opens up a world of precise music creation techniques that make your signature sound polished and contemporary.

Note Repeat lets you hear a repeating rhythmic pattern at a chosen note division by holding down any of the eight specially designed M-Audio velocity-sensitive performance pads in the two pad banks that are accessible. The Note Repeat function can be utilized in Latch mode or temporarily activated. If you select Momentary, the note played by the pad will automatically repeat if you hold down the Note Repeat button. If you select Latch, you won't need to hold down the Note Repeat button in order for any pad to repeat its designated note.

Arpeggiators are a quick and simple way to bring movement and energy to music. The Oxygen 49 (MKV) has an integrated Arpeggiator with Type, Octave, Gate, and Swing settings that may be used to creatively alter whatever virtual instrument you are playing on the keys in your DAW. The keyboard will repeatedly play the keys that are pressed in the chosen sequence when the Arpeggiator is turned on. The time division setting on the keyboard or the tempo setting in your DAW determines the timing and rhythm of the arpeggiator.

Your musical creativity and your finished works are connected by Smart Chord and Smart Scale technologies. The Smart Scale feature turns the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keys into a perfect scale by playing the precise notes within a selected scale, while the Smart Chord feature helps unleash your inner musical genius by allowing you to create entire chords with a single key stroke. It has never been simpler to create music and unleash your boundless creativity thanks to Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology.

It is quite simple to use the Oxygen 61 (MKV) controller with any DAW. For a smooth workflow, most DAWs automatically map controls like Transport, Faders, Pan, Record Arm, Solo, Mute, Select, and many more. All of the major DAWs, including Ableton, Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One, and many more, are compatible with the Oxygen 49 (MKV). You may access a whole new world of creative production by just choosing your DAW on the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard controller and adjusting its preferences to the keyboard.
