MIDI Keyboard M-Audio Oxygen 61 MK V

The M-Audio Oxygen 61 MK V is the fifth generation of the iconic series of MIDI controllers, combining classic functionality with modern innovations for music production. With its extended 61-key keybed, this model becomes the ideal studio centerpiece, allowing you to perform complex parts and effectively control software without the need to constantly reach for the computer mouse.

The instrument is equipped with advanced intelligent Smart Controls features that significantly expand the musician's creative potential. Smart Chord mode allows playing full chords or custom harmonic structures by pressing a single note, while Smart Scale technology adapts the keyboard to a selected key, eliminating the possibility of playing wrong notes. To add rhythmic pulsation to compositions, a built-in arpeggiator is provided with flexible settings for sequence type, swing, and octave range.

The controller's architecture is designed for deep control of the mix and plugin parameters. Unlike the smaller models in the series, the Oxygen 61 MK V offers 9 assignable faders, which is critical for convenient track mixing. Additionally, 8 rotary encoders and 8 velocity-sensitive pads with Note Repeat function are available, perfect for beat making. The auto-mapping system ensures instant integration with leading DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, and others, providing direct access to the transport panel and main recording functions.

The keyboard comes with a comprehensive package of licensed software, allowing you to start professional work right out of the box. Users get access to Ableton Live Lite and MPC Beats DAWs, high-quality virtual instruments Hybrid 3 (synthesizer) and Mini Grand (piano), as well as a collection of expansion packs from Akai Professional. Furthermore, the price includes a subscription to educational platforms Melodics and Skoove for improving performance skills.
