The Oxygen Goes Pro
Oxygen MIDI controllers have always offered excellent features and performance at an affordable price point. Now, M-Audio has taken Oxygen to the next level with Oxygen Pro, which provides everything you need to make music at a pace that keeps up with your professional creative workflow. It all starts with a newly designed velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch and assignable zones. For beat production, clip launching, and more, Oxygen Pro is equipped with 16 backlit, assignable, velocity-sensitive RGB pads with Note Repeat. Oxygen Pro 49 and 61 feature nine onboard faders and eight assignable knobs and buttons; the Oxygen Pro 25 forgoes the faders and buttons in favor of a compact design that fits in your backpack. All three models rock a road-ready, USB bus-powered chassis with an intuitive layout and informative OLED screen that�ll have you up and running right out of the box.
The expressive power of aftertouch
Normally only found on high-end keyboards, aftertouch is one feature you might not know you need until you�ve actually used it. Synth mavens at Sweetwater use it like you would any MIDI CC, but the fact that it doesn�t require taking your hands off the keyboard (or operating a pedal) makes it especially valuable. Perhaps the best example of aftertouch in action is leaning into a note you�re already playing to apply some tasty vibrato to the tail end. Oxygen Pro is fitted with a mod wheel, and although it lacks an expression pedal jack, you can commandeer any of its assignable knobs for any continuous controller function.
