The M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller features 16 velocity-sensitive backlit RGB pads with Note Repeat for beat production and finger drumming.

Ergonomically designed pitch and modulation wheels along with a 1/4″ sustain-pedal input provide you with additional control over your music and performance. Use the DIN 5-pin MIDI output to interface with hardware synths and sequencers, and select presets to automatically map the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller to your favorite DAW software.

PRO-LEVEL PRODUCER FEATURES

Built into M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller are features that are essential to creating modern-day pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional.
Note Repeat allows you to hold down any of the custom-made M-Audio performance pads to hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. The Note Repeat feature can be activated momentarily or used in Latch mode. If you choose Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played automatically repeat. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will cause its assigned note to repeat after you release the Note Repeat button. Press the Note Repeat button again to stop it.

The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you are playing on the keys, in any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the pressed keys in sequence. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm are based on the keyboard’s time-division setting and either the keyboard’s or your DAW’s tempo setting. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length you’ve selected for the time-division setting. For example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be a quarter note. This powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.

NEXT-GEN PLAYABILITY

With a great feel in a lightweight chassis, the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller provides a new level of creative inspiration. The M-Audio PrecisionTouch keybed adds professional semi-weighted action with advanced high-speed keybed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive playing experience.
This custom keybed also features Channel Aftertouch, giving you added expression and control. Channel Aftertouch enables you to affect the sound of a virtual instrument plug-in by continuously scanning how much pressure you apply to any key after pressing it. This makes creating the mood, dynamics, and emotion you want to deliver in your music—natural and fast.
