The Oxygen Goes Pro:
Oxygen MIDI controllers have always offered excellent features and performance at an affordable price point. Now, M-Audio has taken Oxygen to the next level with Oxygen Pro, which provides everything you need to make music at a pace that keeps up with your professional creative workflow. It all starts with a newly designed velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch and assignable zones. For beat production, clip launching, and more, Oxygen Pro is equipped with 16 backlit, assignable, velocity-sensitive RGB pads with Note Repeat. Oxygen Pro 49 and 61 feature nine onboard faders and eight assignable knobs and buttons; the Oxygen Pro 25 forgoes the faders and buttons in favor of a compact design that fits in your backpack. All three models rock a road-ready, USB bus-powered chassis with an intuitive layout and informative OLED screen that’ll have you up and running right out of the box.
The expressive power of aftertouch:
Normally only found on high-end keyboards, aftertouch is one feature you might not know you need until you’ve actually used it. Perhaps the best example of aftertouch in action is leaning into a note you’re already playing to apply some tasty vibrato to the tail end. Oxygen Pro is fitted with a mod wheel, and although it lacks an expression pedal jack, you can commandeer any of its assignable knobs for any continuous controller function.
Everything you need to make music:
Oxygen Pro is 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 Pro’s Smart Chord mode lets you play sophisticated enharmonic or custom chord voicings, while its Smart Scale mode eliminates incorrect notes, so you can solo like a virtuoso. 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, 5-pin MIDI out, and USB-MIDI complete the setup. Oxygen Pro comes with Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition, MPC Beats, and Ableton Live Lite DAW software, as well as a generous virtual instrument plug-in and MPC expansion pack bundle.
