DISC M-Audio Oxygen 49 V3 USB MIDI Keyboard

Full Description

Featuring eight assignable knobs, nine assignable sliders, dedicated transport controls and track select buttons, the Oxygen 49 gives you total control over your session, allowing you to stay engaged in the creative flow of recording and mixing music rather than being interrupted by the constant back and forth between QWERTY keyboard and MIDI controller.

Velocity-sensitive keys and a sleek, compact design round out a portable keyboard that's ideal for in the studio or in live situations.

DirectLink mode automatically maps Oxygen 49 controls to common DAW parameters whilst factory presets provide instant mapping to popular virtual instruments including Xpand!2, Hybrid, Velvet®, Strike®, Oddity, ImpOSCar and MiniMonsta. Dedicated Select buttons allow you to quickly switch MIDI channels and presets for deep tactile control over multitimbral hardware and software instruments. Interfacing a MIDI controller with your software doesn't get any easier than this.

M-Audio controllers are used by more professional producers and players than any other brand on the market. Thanks to continued innovation over the course of nearly a decade, you'll find that the Oxygen 49 controller has a solid, reliable build, putting as much musicality into the keyboard as it does into the complement of other MIDI controls.

Pro Tools Compatible

The Oxygen 49 MIDI controller offers out-of-the-box integration with Pro Tools® software, the industry standard DAW found in professional, project and personal studios around the world. With DirectLink, the Oxygen 49 controls instantly map to key parameters on the Pro Tools Mixer, Edit and Transport windows as well as the powerful suite of virtual instruments bundled with Pro Tools. Together, Oxygen 49 and Pro Tools software provide streamlined workflow in a formidable system with tons of interface options and industry-standard file compatibility.
