M-Audio breathes new life into your music with their latest Oxygen USB MIDI controllers. This next-generation Oxygen series keyboard gives you full-size, synth-action, velocity-sensitive keys as well as a full set of eight velocity-sensitive pads, making it one of the most playable MIDI controllers you'll get your hands on. Easy to navigate, assignable controls automatically map to your favorite DAW. Oxygen series keyboards are also fully compatible with iOS, so they're perfect for your grab-and-go synth rig.

Streamlined controls improve your workflow

Oxygen controller keyboards keep in the creative zone by keeping your hands on an instrument and off of a mouse. M-Audio divided the control layout cleanly into separate sections to streamline your workflow and dramatically decrease the learning curve. For instance, the transport has its own dedicated section under the encoder knobs, so you can't get it confused with the on-the-fly selector buttons near the LCD display.

    Instant mapping for popular DAWs and plug-ins

    Automapping automatically assigns slider, encoder, and transport controls to parameters such as track volumes, pans values, and other common functions. If you're using a standard DAW such as Pro Tools, Reason, or Cubase, there's literally no setup involved. Also, your Oxygen controller keyboard includes built-in factory presets that support popular virtual instruments, so you'll rarely need to manually map out a thing.

    Craft sophisticated Virtual Instrument rigs with Akai VIP3

    The difference between a cool MIDI controller keyboard and a full hybrid keyboard workstation is Akai VIP3. This third-generation version of Akai's Virtual Instrument Player software is a masterpiece of workflow management. It lets you load up just about any VST plug-in and combine up to eight virtual instruments plus effects into sophisticated arrangements with key zones, splits, and custom mappings — exactly what you'd expect from a standalone workstation. What's more, there's an ever-growing list of plug-ins that automatically map to your controller, but thanks to VIP3's MIDI Learn function, you can map any plug-in with any controller in any way you like. Run it as a standalone platform or use it as a plug-in in your favorite DAW. Either way, VIP3 will revolutionize the way you approach virtual instruments.

    iOS connectivity for easy recording and performance

    Music Experience knows more and more musicians are using iOS as an integral part of their creative processes. Using Apple's Camera Connection Kit, you can connect to any iOS device and use your Oxygen keyboard to control multitrack recording and virtual instrument apps. That makes it a natural fit for your mobile music rig, whether you're creating electronic music at the coffee shop or rocking out with your favorite virtual instrument apps onstage.

      What M-Audio Says...

      M-Audio pioneered the portable MIDI controller market with the Oxygen series of keyboard controllers. Today, M-Audio continues to be a leader of this technology by developing intuitive controllers for software-based music production and performance. Thanks to continued innovation over the course of nearly a decade, the new Oxygen series controllers offer more control, deep hardware/software integration, and come equipped with a reliable build that enables you to make music on the go or implement these controllers into any studio.

      Streamlined Control

      With an array of assignable knobs, pads, and a fader, Oxygen 25 gives you total control over your software, allowing you to stay engaged in the creative flow of recording and mixing music without ever reaching for the mouse. It features 25 velocity-sensitive keys for playing chords, bass lines, and melodies; eight assignable knobs for tweaking effect plugins and virtual instruments; eight velocity-sensitive pads for triggering samples or finger drumming; and an assignable fader that is ideal for controlling the master output or mixing tracks together. Oxygen 25 also has dedicated transport controls and track-up and -down buttons that allow you to initiate play, stop, and record in the DAW environment right from your keyboard controller.

      Use Your Favorite DAW

      The Oxygen 25 offers out-of-the-box integration with popular DAWs including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and many more. Using DirectLink, Oxygen 25's controls instantly map to key parameters in your favorite DAW, enabling you to immediately tweak the mixers, editors, and transport windows. Additionally, Oxygen 25 has built-in customizable mapping presets that quickly interface Oxygen 25 with your favorite effect plugins and virtual instruments. Setting up a MIDI controller with your software doesn’t get any easier than this.

      For an easy-to-use and portable setup, all Oxygen controllers are USB-powered, class-compliant, and support USB-MIDI connectivity. Plus, they support iOS connectivity with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), enabling you to perform and compose with audio apps on your iPad and other iOS devices.

      Ableton Live Lite

      Ableton Live Lite is included with Oxygen 25 for immediate music creation. One of the most popular performance and production programs available in the world, Ableton Live Lite is a powerful music creation tool that enables musicians and producers to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a fluid audio/MIDI environment. Host plugins and use Oxygen 25 to produce, compose, or perform all within Ableton Live Lite. When you are satisfied with your work, Ableton Live lets you save it or mix it down.

      SONiVOX TWIST

      SONiVOX Twist is a spectral morphing synthesis virtual instrument. Comprised of a dynamic interface, an advanced pattern generator, and onboard effects, Twist lets you create serious sounds using simple controls. Two swirling sound layers provide unique harmonic controls and form the basis of every patch. Sculpt your sound with a multi-mode filter, independent amp and filter envelope generators, and a LFO that can be sync’d to tempo.

      AIR Music Tech Xpand!2

      Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation offering four active sound slots, or parts, per patch. Each part is provided with its own MIDI channel, Note Range (Zone), Mix, Arpeggiation, Modulation, and Effects settings—an excellent method for creating individual parts. Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. Using everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback, the expert sound design team at Air Music Tech has carefully created thousands of ready-to-play Xpand!2 patches.
