Control your automation, plugin parameters, levels and everything else using the eight assignable knobs. The endless encoders allow you to dial in your levels with precision, by assigning them to a parameter within your DAW or virtual instrument. Perfect for both music production and live performances, allowing you to get hands-on with your virtual functions. Complete with comprehensive music software suite Getting DAW control going relies on configuring the software of your choice to communicate with some or all of the Oxygen Pro’s four virtual USB MIDI ports. This was my setup for Ableton Live: I found I further had to enable some of the Sync options (not documented in M‑Audio’s walkthroughs) to get the arpeggiator to sync to Live’s tempo.M‑Audio bandy around the term ‘auto‑mapped’ quite a bit in their blurb, but it’s more accurate to say that the roles of the hardware sliders, buttons and knobs for each DAW are pre‑mapped, and the underlying configurations saved like presets into the Oxygen Pro’s internal memory. There’s nothing like the complexity of Novation’s old Automap system (or indeed M‑Audio’s now‑defunct HyperControl), which promised tight two‑way communication between DAW and controller via all sorts of additional software and/or ‘wrapped’ plug‑ins: a great shame, or a blessed relief, depending on your expectations and aspirations. The M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 USB MIDI Controller is a versatile and powerful MIDI keyboard that delivers excellent control options and a fantastic software suite. 49-Key USB MIDI Performance Controller

The larger 49‑ and 61‑key variants have full‑size velocity and aftertouch‑sensitive keys and the same complement of 16 pads, eight assignable knobs and accompanying buttons, and nine faders. Drop down to 25 keys and you lose the faders and buttons. Meanwhile the Oxygen Pro Mini has 32 mini keys with no aftertouch, eight pads, four knobs and four faders. DAW control is another headline feature for the Oxygen Pros, and out of the box there’s compatibility with Pro Tools|First (one of the bundled software titles), Ableton Live (ditto — well, Live Lite at least), MPC Beats (ditto again), Studio One, Reason, Cubase, Logic, Bitwig, Garage Band, Reaper and FL Studio.

I had no idea the plethora of sounds I would be experiencing as well as the ability to operate every feature in Logic with a single button, pad or key on the controller, and having integrate with EZ Drummer3 is also a big plus.
