As we\u2019ve seen over the past few decades, they\u2019re workhorse tools, designed to be no-frills and efficient\u2026 until now.<\/p><p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/midi-keyboards\/M-Audio.html?page=1&filters[1149]=9837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M-Audio Oxygen Pro series<\/a><\/strong> provides the reliability and efficiency expected of an M-Audio product but also hosts a wealth of game-changing features which allow anyone, with any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), to make music.<\/p><p>The Oxygen series has been a staple in studios and homes around the world since the launch of the M-Audio Oxygen8 in 2002. M-Audio followed up with another five generations of Oxygen series, namely the current incarnation the Oxygen MKV series.<\/p><p>However, alongside the launch of MKV came Oxygen Pro.<\/p><p>It's a new endeavour that takes M-Audio\u2019s MIDI keyboards to new heights, giving anyone access to professional features that aren\u2019t found anywhere else. So, let\u2019s talk about those unique features... it could well be the best MIDI keyboard available right now.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Putting the\u00a0<em>pro<\/em> in Oxygen Pro<\/h3><p>When looking at the Oxygen Pro feature list, there's one thing that immediately jumps out, and that\u2019s <strong>Smart Chord<\/strong> and <strong>Smart Scale Technology<\/strong>. These innovative features make creating music easy, practical, and fun for anyone, no matter your level of musical theory.<\/p><h4>Smart Chord<\/h4><p><strong>Smart Chord<\/strong> allows you to trigger a chord from just a single key press. With multiple chord property options built into an Oxygen Pro MIDI keyboard, you\u2019re not limited to basic shapes. Not only do you have a wealth of chord voicings to choose from, but you also have the option to program your own custom chord voicings into the Oxygen Pro!<\/p><p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hUJ__k4mwlY\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><h4>Smart Scale<\/h4><p><strong>Smart Scale<\/strong> mode is simple. It lets you set a scale on the keybed so that keys outside of said scale are disabled. This means you can play a perfect scale without the risk of any \u201cincorrect\u201d notes (great, right?). As well as being a fantastic learning tool, it\u2019s ideal for songwriters who may not have the musical theory.<\/p><p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k5-q7wvnSqU\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><hr \/><h3>DAW auto-mapping<\/h3><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18506 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/11\/M-Audio-Oxygen-Pro-49-MIDI-Controller-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A man, wearing M-Audio headphones, making music with the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 MIDI Controller\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Just because MIDI is universal, it doesn\u2019t mean that MIDI keyboard assignment is.<\/p><p>There's a wealth of DAWs available to the consumer in 2022, all with their own MIDI mapping.<\/p><p>M-Audio have taken the liberty to pre-map their Oxygen Pro MIDI keyboards to all major DAWs.<\/p><p>Whether you\u2019re using MPC Beats, ProTools, Ableton, Cubase, Logic, or any other mainstream DAW, you\u2019ll be able to effortlessly map your Oxygen to it.<\/p><p>You can customise this even further via Preset Editor software, allowing you to get further function knob amendments, pad and fader controls, modulation wheel controls, and DAW shortcuts that are pad-assignable.<\/p><p>Up to 16 presets are achievable, all assignable to the keybed.<\/p><hr \/><h3>It\u2019s all tactile!<\/h3><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18507 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/11\/M-Audio-Oxygen-Pro-61-MIDI-Controller-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 MIDI Controller\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>There\u2019s nothing more annoying than getting into the flow, really feeling a beat or a melody, and then having to look up and scour through a hundred settings on a screen with a mouse and keyboard.<\/p><p>The Oxygen Pro pulls you away from the screen and gives you access to all the transport controls you need, right at your fingertips.<\/p><p>Each M-Audio keyboard in the Oxygen Pro series features a huge wealth of recording, playback, and assignable controls. Standard transport controls, such as start, record, loop, and stop, are all easily accessible on the front panel.<\/p><p>A brilliant little feature for live use is that the stop button also doubles up as a \u2018PANIC\u2019 button, sending an \u2018All Notes Off\u2019 command to all 16 MIDI channels in case of emergency!<\/p><p>Beyond this, there are also more unique features, such as the mini-LED screen which allows you to clearly see controls you\u2019re navigating through using the scroll encoder.<\/p><p>You can also experiment with a built-in arpeggiator, accessible via the top panel, alongside a note repeat button which can be assigned to latch to pads!<\/p><hr \/><h3>Find out more<\/h3><p>M-Audio have seriously changed the game with the innovative Oxygen Pro series - why not check it out for yourself?<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[247,121],"tags":[166,520,104],"class_list":["post-17051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studio-guides","category-studio-production","tag-m-audio","tag-midi-keyboards","tag-studio-production"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The M-Audio Oxygen Pro Series - The BEST MIDI Keyboard?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Oxygen Pro series provides the reliability and efficiency expected of M-Audio with some game-changing features.
