OXYGEN 49 MKV
49-key USB MIDI Controller
with Smart Control
and Auto-Mapping
The Oxygen 49 MKV controller includes powerful features essential for creating and producing music, such as Note Repeat (a staple of beat production), full velocity control of keys and pads, eight assignable knobs for controlling effect plug-ins and virtual instruments, and nine assignable faders for mixing: all of which open up a world of precise music production techniques to make your music sound professional and modern.
Built-in arpeggiator
Arpeggiators are a quick and easy way to add excitement and movement to your music. The Oxygen 49 MKV's built-in arpeggiator affects whatever you play on the keys of any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard repeatedly plays the keys pressed in the selected sequence. The timing and rhythm of the arpeggiator are based on the timing setting of the keyboard, either the keyboard's tempo or the tempo setting of your DAW. Each note in the arpeggio has the length selected for the timing setting. For example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be heard in quarter note increments. This powerful tool can work in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.
Auto-Mapping for creative DAW control
Using the Oxygen 49 MKV controller with any DAW is easy. Controls such as transport, fader, pan, record, solo, mute, select and more are automatically linked to most DAWs for a smooth workflow. Oxygen 49 MKV is compatible with all major DAWs, including Ableton, Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic Pro, Studio One and many more. Simply select your DAW on the Oxygen 49 MKV keyboard controller and configure your DAW's presets for the keyboard - and a new world of creative production is open to you. The Oxygen 49 MKV keyboard also includes presets for all included virtual instruments and plug-ins (Mini Grand and Hybrid 3). These world-class plug-ins can be fully controlled via the Oxygen 49 MKV keyboard's controller and used in real time.
Smart Control
Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology are the links between your musical creativity and your final productions. Smart Chord helps you unleash your inner musical genius by playing entire chords with a single keystroke, and Smart Scale lets the Oxygen 49 MKV's keys play the exact notes within a selected scale. Both features offer even more with a custom mode and over 15 different scale variations. With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, making music has never been easier.
