Designed for musicians, producers, and beatmakers, the M-Audio Oxygen 61 MKV is a portable USB MIDI keyboard controller that combines 61 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys with versatile control hardware, auto-mapping, Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, and an arpeggiator. It also ships with a suite of creative software (including a MIDI editor, DAWs, and virtual instruments), allowing for immediate music making onstage or in the studio.
The Oxygen 61 MKV features two banks of eight, backlit velocity-sensitive trigger pads with Note Repeat for beat production and finger drumming. There are eight assignable knobs for controlling virtual instruments and plug-ins, and nine assignable faders for mixing your productions with precision and ease. Ergonomically designed pitch and modulation wheels, along with a 1/4" sustain-pedal input provide you with additional control over your music and performance. A set of transport buttons enables you to control your DAW without having to reach for the mouse.
Auto-Mapping for Creative DAW Control
With auto-mapping, the Oxygen MKV's faders, pan, knobs, transport buttons, record arm, solo, mute, and more are able to control the corresponding functions in most popular DAWs. Whether you use Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Studio One, Ableton Live, MPC Beats, Cubase, or others, the MKV will help you settle into a comfortable and smooth workflow.
Produce Music Easier and Faster
The Smart controls on the MKV make producing music both easier and faster. Thanks to Smart Chord, you can play full chords from a single note, while Smart Scale only allows the correct notes in a selected scale to be played. There are 15 scale variations as well as a custom mode, so you can forget about hitting wrong notes and running out of fingers.
Built-In ArpeggiatorDesigned to impart excitement and rhythmic movement to your music, the onboard arpeggiator can repeatedly trigger the notes you play according to a selected sequence, and it works in the keyboard's BPM, or locked to the tempo of your DAW session. It is customizable with Latch and Momentary operating modes, and other parameters such as swing, gate, octave, and type.
Includes NKS support: This controller unlocks seamless control of over 2,000+ NKS instruments and effects. It enables users to load instruments and effects, tweak parameters, browse and manage presets with tangible controls, keeping creators’ minds and hands on the music. No time is wasted creating, saving, and resetting controller parameter mappings.
Includes free Native Instruments Komplete 15 Select bundle packed with synths, sampled instruments, and studio effects suited to your genre of choice to start experiencing the seamless connection between the controller and NKS.
