Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are designed to supercharge your creativity by keeping your hands on the 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.
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 MKV Keyboard Controller includes built-in factory presets that support popular virtual instruments, so you'll rarely need to manually map out a thing.
M-Audio Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are 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 MKV controllers come stock with a Smart Chord mode that lets you play sophisticated enharmonic or custom chord voicings, and a Smart Scale mode to eliminate incorrect notes for virtuosic-level solos. 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, and USB-MIDI complete the robust setup. Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers also come with MPC Beats and Ableton Live Lite DAW software, as well as a generous virtual instrument plug-in and MPC expansion pack bundle.
