MIDI Keyboard M-Audio Oxygen 25 MK V

The M-Audio Oxygen 25 MK V is designed to meet the needs of modern music producers and composers. This model offers an advanced level of hardware control, allowing you to optimize your workflow and focus on creativity both in the studio and during live performances. The keyboard ensures intuitive interaction with virtual instruments and digital audio workstations.

A key advantage of this model is the implementation of intelligent Smart Controls technology, which significantly simplifies music composition. The Smart Chord feature allows you to play complex chords by pressing a single key with flexible tonality settings, while Smart Scale mode adapts the keyboard to a chosen scale, eliminating the possibility of playing wrong notes. To add dynamics and rhythmic movement, a built-in arpeggiator is provided with advanced controls for type, octave range, and swing, working with any virtual instrument in your DAW.

The controller is equipped with 25 full-size keys and a suite of professional tools for beatmaking and mixing. Users have access to two banks of 8 velocity-sensitive pads with Note Repeat for creating rhythmic patterns, 8 assignable knobs for controlling plugin parameters, and a separate fader. Auto-mapping ensures instant integration with popular DAWs such as Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Cubase, providing access to transport and navigation controls without the need for manual setup.

The device comes with a comprehensive package of licensed software, allowing you to start working right out of the box. The bundle includes Ableton Live Lite and MPC Beats DAWs, virtual instruments Hybrid 3 (multi-oscillator synthesizer) and Mini Grand (acoustic piano), as well as a collection of expansion packs from Akai Professional. Additionally, access is provided to educational platforms Melodics and Skoove to improve playing and production skills.
