M-AUDIO Oxygen 61 MKV USB Arpeggiator Controller BlackM-Audio pioneered the mobile MIDI keyboard controller market with the Oxygen series. M-Audio continues to lead the way with the new Oxygen (MKV) series. In today's music production, controlling the entire digital music environment is crucial. It's not just about how professionals streamline their workflows, but also how they create unique, modern, and distinctive sounds. The new Oxygen (MKV) keyboard controllers deliver innovative advancements in hardware control, enabling the creation of modern, groundbreaking music on stage or in the studio. Professional Production FeaturesThe Oxygen 61 (MKV) controller boasts powerful features essential for music creation and production, such as Note Repeat (a trademark in music production), full velocity control via keys and pads, eight assignable knobs for tweaking effects plug-ins and virtual instruments, and nine assignable mix faders; all of which open up a world of precise music-making techniques that will make your sounds sound professional and contemporary.
Built-in ArpeggiatorThe Arpeggiator helps you quickly and easily enhance your music and add movement. The Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard's built-in arpeggiator will affect everything you play on the keyboard using any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the arpeggiator is active, the keyboard will repeat the notes of the pressed keys repeatedly in sequence. The arpeggiator's timing and rhythm are based on the keyboard's rhythmic subdivision setting and the tempo setting on the keyboard or in your DAW. Each arpeggio note will have a duration determined by the rhythmic subdivision setting. For example, if you select 1/4, each arpeggio note will sound like a quarter note. This powerful tool can operate in either momentary or constant mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.
Intelligent ControlSmart Chord and Smart Scale technologies bridge the gap between your creative musical mind and your final productions. Smart Chord will help bring out your inner musical genius by allowing you to play full chords using single keys, while Smart Scale will allow the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keys to play only the notes of a selected scale. Both features provide more options in Custom mode and over 15 different scale variations. With Smart Chord and Smart Scale, creating music and unleashing your limitless creativity has never been easier.
Automatic Mapping for Creative DAW ControlUsing the Oxygen 61 (MKV) controller with any DAW is incredibly easy. Controls for transport, pan, faders, track arm, solo, mute, select, and more are automatically mapped to most DAWs for a seamless workflow. The Oxygen 61 (MKV) works with all major DAWs, including Ableton, Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, and Studio One. Simply select your DAW on the Oxygen 61 (MKV) controller, configure your DAW keyboard preferences, and a new world of creative production is at your fingertips. The Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard also includes presets for all included virtual instruments and plug-ins (Mini Grand and Hybrid 3). These world-class plug-ins are fully controllable from the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard controller and can be used in real time to create, mix, and take your productions to the next level.
