With the Oxygen series of controllers, M-AUDIO was a pioneer in the market of portable MIDI controllers and continues to be a leader in this technology today, developing intuitive controllers for music creation and performance based on software. Thanks to innovations that have been evolving for almost a decade, the new Oxygen series provides even more control options, deeper integration of the controller with software, and a more reliable design that allows you to take the controller anywhere or use it in any studio.
With plenty of programmable knobs, pads, and faders, the Oxygen 25 gives you complete control over software, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your creative process without being distracted by a mouse. The Oxygen 25 features 25 velocity-sensitive keys for playing chords, bass lines, and melodies, 8 assignable knobs for controlling effect plugins and virtual instruments, 8 velocity-sensitive pads for launching samples or playing bass lines with your fingers, and 1 assignable fader for mixing tracks and controlling the master output. The keyboard also includes transport buttons and next track/previous track buttons that allow you to play, stop, and record in your DAW directly from the controller.
The Oxygen 25 can be easily and seamlessly integrated with any popular DAW, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and many others. Using DirectLink, the control of the Oxygen 25 is instantly reflected in the DAW, allowing you to quickly start adjusting the mixer, editing, and transport windows. Additionally, the controller has user-customizable presets that quickly connect the Oxygen 25 to your favorite effect plugins and virtual instruments. For immediate music creation, the Oxygen 25 includes Ableton Live Lite software, SONiVOX Twist, and AIR Music Tech Xpand!2.
Ableton Live Lite is one of the most popular programs in the world, enabling musicians to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in an audio/MIDI environment. SONiVOX Twist allows you to create superb sounds using simple controls. The ability to layer one sound on top of another allows you to control harmony and shape the foundation of each patch. You can process sounds with a multi-mode filter, independent amplifier, LFO, and more. Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation that provides four active sound slots or parts per patch. Each part has its own MIDI channel, Note Range (Zone), Mix, Arpeggiation, Modulation, and effects— a great way to create individual parts. Use all four parts together to create one amazing patch and you will see the true power of Xpand!2.
