M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 MIDI Controller - Secondhand

Full Description

Semi-weighted keys react like an acoustic piano

Play like never before thanks to the premium-quality, semi-weighted keybed. The best-in-class keys brings in the next generation of playability featuring Precision Touch technology to translate your playing style with extreme precision. The keybed utilises advanced scanning technology to capture every nuance of your performance.

Not only that but there is an onboard arpeggiator which is great for creating rhythmic melodies and changing patterns. You can also customise the way the arpeggiator works by using the Type, Octave, Gate and Swing controls so you can truly create what you hear in your head.

Sample, trigger and drum with velocity-sensitive pads

Get hands-on with your sounds thanks to the 16 onboard performance pads. The RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads are perfect for recording drum patterns, percussion, sampling and everything in between. You can even use it as a DJ to trigger sound FX, quotes and more whilst performing. The rubberised pads not only feel good but look good with the backlights catching everyone’s attention.

The pads feature Note Repeat which is great for music production. As an example, using Note Repeat on hi-hats will give you a constant rhythm when the pad is held down depending on your time scale. This is great for both music production and live performances, allowing you to create rhythmic patterns without having to constantly tap the pads.

Another useful feature is Clip Launching. Clip Launching allows you to trigger a sound and have it play until you hit stop, or you launch another ‘Clip’ on the same track. There are multiple modes for you to experiment with so you can get in-depth with your performances.

Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology – inspire and create with ease

Want to make music but don’t know music theory? Fear not, the Oxygen Pro 61 has you covered. The Smart Chord feature will trigger a full chord from a single key when the mode is activated. You can change the chord properties and use your own progressions to make it easier than ever to create the chords you want.

It can be hard to translate your ideas into music at the best of times but with Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, you can do this with a few touches. When activated, Smart Scale mode allows you to configure the keybed to one of 16 scale variations, making the keybed only play notes within that selected scale. This eliminates any errors when playing live or recording, perfect for those just learning how to play.

Auto-mapped DAW controls, assignable knobs and faders

Mapped and ready to go. Skip the tedious mapping of controls thanks to the auto-mapping capabilities of the Oxygen Pro. When using the Oxygen Pro with any mainstream DAW, you can select the map and the keyboard controls will be automatically mapped to your music software. You can start straight away thanks to auto-mapping, with every control in your arsenal ready and waiting. Automatically mapped functions including Transport, Pan controls and a whole host more.

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. Nine faders are also included so you can control levels and other parameters.
