From Our Research Team:

An Affordable Way to Take Control of Your DAW and Plug-ins!

With the Oxygen 49 keyboard and control surface from M-Audio, music creation couldn't be easier! It features 49 keys, nine sliders, and dedicated transport and track selection buttons, offering user-friendly, hands-on parameter manipulation for a large variety of DAWs and plug-ins. The Oxygen 49's DirectLink mode assigns each slider, button, and encoder to common functions such as mixer, pan, and transport controls in DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, and Cubase, as well as several common plug-ins. Velocity sensitive keys and USB power also add flexibility and portability to the Oxygen 49.



M-Audio Oxygen 49 49-Key Controller Keyboard and Control Surface at a Glance:
  • Streamlined controls you can't get lost in
  • Instant control of popular DAWs and plug-ins
  • Super-affordable Pro Tools parameter control

Streamlined controls you can't get lost in
One of the Oxygen 49's primary features is that it is incredibly easy use. The layout, divided neatly into separate sections, makes finding the right control element a snap. For instance, the transport has its own dedicated section under the encoder knobs, so you can't get it confused with the on-the-fly selector buttons near the LCD display. The sliders are divided into two banks of four with a separate slider that is typically assigned to the master fader in a DAW.

Instant control of popular DAWs and plug-ins
DirectLink automatically maps it sliders, encoders, and transport to parameters like track volumes, pans values, and the transport controls of several common DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, and Cubase, with additional DAW support to come. Also, the Oxygen 49 contains built-in factory presets that support popular virtual instruments, adding a tactile element to adjusting parameters and increasing its value as a live keyboard.

Super-affordable Pro Tools parameter control
There are still few control surfaces that will work with Pro Tools, most of which cost many times more than the Oxygen 49. Now you can get a multi-function keyboard controller whose compatibility extends fully into Pro Tools — all the way from M-Powered up to HD! With this ultra-affordable controller, there's no need to mouse around any more.

M-Audio Oxygen 49 49-Key Controller Keyboard and Control Surface Features:
  • 49 velocity-sensitive keys
  • 8 MIDI-assignable knobs
  • 9 MIDI-assignable sliders
  • 6 dedicated transport controls
  • Dedicated track up/down buttons
  • DirectLink mode automatically maps controls to common DAW parameters
  • Unique select buttons for on-the-fly step-through of presets, program changes and MIDI channels
  • 4 velocity curves and 3 fixed velocity settings
  • Sustain pedal input
  • USB bus powered
  • Compatible with Windows and Mac OS X

Take control of your DAW and plug-ins with the incredibly affordable Oxygen 49 from M-Audio!

So far so good.

I will start by saying that I have not bought a new controller since 1991. I am pleased with the number of sliders, knobs and buttions there are for $159. You can see 9 sliders, 8 knobs and 9 butto... read more [+]ns but what you cannot see is that each of 10 patches has a full set of those. So it is 9 sliders times 10 etc. I love 49 keys because you always know that you are playing on about half of 88 keys and hitting the octave buttion will give you the next half of 88. I am going to be very interested to see about durability after 5 years. The other reviews about M-Audio gave them what I consider a passing grade for durability. Also, this guy is light and easy to carry - just what many of us need from a portable controller. I am a person who likes sax and flute samples so the 2 wheel controller is best for me. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
