With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, creating music and transferring what’s in your imagination to what you hear coming out of your computer has never been easier! A well-built, well-designed keyboard that’s great with Ableton Live, but handy for hardware control too. Built into the Oxygen Pro 61 are features that are essential to creating modern day pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional.You will also find 9 assignable faders on the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 to control your virtual instruments, effect plugins, DAW faders and more. Build quality, judging from the Oxygen Pro 49 Ihad on test, is good. The chassis is all plastic but inspires confidence. It’s light but not too light, and doesn’t flex at all in normal use. All the controls are firmly mounted and smooth in operation, the buttons quite stiff and shallow, and the small OLED screen is clear, bright and crisp.” With the easy to read OLED screen, configuring the Oxygen Pro 61 with any mainstream DAW couldn’t be simpler. Whether you use Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic, Studio One or any other music making platform, simply select the map and Auto-Mapping will take care of the rest. Unleash complete tactile control of your DAW with automatically mapped core functions including Transport, Faders, Pan controls and more, directly to the hardware controls on the Oxygen Pro 61. What’s more, Oxygen Pro 61 instantly maps to all world-class Air Music Tech virtual instruments included with the Oxygen Pro Series (Hybrid 3, Velvet, Mini Grand, Vacuum, Boom, DB-33) for an unprecedented degree of real-time tactile control as you create and mix your music. Smart Controls

M-audio has just launched a software update that further enhances the capabilities of its controllers. Version 2.1.1 for the Oxygen Pro 61 adds a lot of new features, including: After installing the application, find and open the iLok License Manager from your Programs or Applications folder. Note Repeat applies to the pads and comes in latched and momentary flavours, with the latter allowing rolls or repeats when the Note Repeat button is held down. This has enormous potential for sample triggering and beat making with time divisions running from ¼-notes to triplet 32nds. Chords and scales When Master is enabled, MIDI data from this port will always go to the currently selected program in your project. Your transport controls, faders, knobs, and DAW shortcuts will now have messages mapped for MPC Beats.The AIR team has released standalone software versions of the Hybrid, Mini Grand, and Velvet plugins. These apps will install on your computer when you run the plugin installers from the M-Audio Software Manager. These standalone programs are great to play with if you're not looking to use a DAW and just want to plug in the Oxygen Pro and make some noise!
