M-Audio Oxygen 61 (Third Generation)



The M-Audio Oxygen 61 Key USB MIDI controller delivers next-generation functionality and features eight assignable knobs and nine assignable sliders, plus dedicated transport and track select buttons. Oxygen 61 incorporates DirectLink mode to automatically map these controls to common DAW functions including transport, mixer, track pan and plug-in parameters. Built-in factory presets on the new Oxygen offer support for popular virtual instruments right out of the box, no complicated setup required. Velocity-sensitive keys and a sleek, compact design round out a portable 61-note keyboard that’s perfect for both production and performance. No other MIDI controller keyboard in this price range has so much functionality while remaining as easy to use as the new generation M-Audio Oxygen 61.

Featuring eight assignable knobs, nine assignable sliders, dedicated transport controls and track up/down buttons, Oxygen 61 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. DirectLink mode automatically maps Oxygen 61 controls to common DAW parameters
—while factory presets provide instant mapping to popular virtual instruments including Xpand!™2, Hybrid™, Velvet®, Strike®, Oddity, ImpOSCar and MiniMonsta. Use the dedicated Select buttons 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.

Pro Tools Compatible
The M-Audio Oxygen 61 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 61 controls instantly map to key parameters in the Pro Tools Mixer, Edit and Transport windows—as well as the powerful suite of virtual instruments bundled with Pro Tools. Together, Oxygen 61 and Pro Tools software provide streamlined workflow in a formidable system with tons of interface options and industry-standard file compatibility.

DirectLink Mode
The latest M-Audio Oxygen MIDI controllers feature DirectLink mode, which automatically maps onboard controls to common DAW functions including transport, mixer, track pan and plug-in parameters. See below for a list of audio software currently compatible with DirectLink.
