M-AUDIO Oxygen 49 (MKV) Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with Beat Pads, Smart Chord, Scale Modes, Arpeggiator and Native Instruments Sound Package (NKS Integration)

It works as expected. Keys have a good feel to them. Sliders and knobs work well for both MIDI and DAW control functionality. It's class-compliant, so installing the bundled software isn't absolutely necessary. It works right out of the box and is plug-and-play.

Excellent product very happy with it and the keys are still awesome. The pads work great. The look overall is awesome, good response and very economic.

I’m happy with this product. Good quality and worth the money. Would recommend.

Upfront: I didn't vibe with the 61-key size. That led me to return it. It worked just as expected, but was too small to play like a piano, yet too large to fit my space. Background: I wanted a MIDI keyboard with mod and volume wheels that I could use to control VSTs inside Ableton. I don't play piano, but thought that getting a 61 key keyboard would prompt me to learn. It did. Pros: The integration with Ableton was basically plug-n-play (outside of some user error). I got it up and running with my VSTs and using the wheels almost immediately. I have an old Windows 7 computer and a newer Windows 11 one, and it worked on both right away. I can't speak to integration with other DAWs or Mac usage, but the instructions are very straightforward, if you use Logic, Repear, etc. Like most of us, I was really looking forward to using free/cheap software, such as Spitfire Labs, with more expressive control. And this didn't disappoint. The drum pads worked just as expected, as did all knobs and faders. It worked very easily and quickly. Cons: The keybed. Despite its ease of integration with my DAW of choice, the velocity of notes when hit was inconsistent. I tried numerous ways of tweaking the response. But ultimately, I couldn't get it to respond appropriately. With a moderate hand, it worked just fine, and if you simply want a keyboard to get MIDI notes down; it works. But, if you need more nuance, it will take work and multiple takes. Lastly, the size was exactly wrong for my situation. I have a small room, and had hoped this would help me learn piano properly, control my VSTs, and tuck away nicely. It was just big enough that I couldn't fit it into my setup, yet too small to really learn proper piano technique. Overview: It feels as solid as you'd expect at this price point; plasticky, but not fragile. If you want to learn piano, save for something with a MIDI out and weighted keys. If you already play piano and simply want to play your instrument into a DAW; this will work, but may not be ideal. If you stuck around this long: I returned the 61-key M-Audio Oxygen MKV, for the aforementioned reasons, and bought a different, 25-key MIDI controller that has pads, knobs, and faders to control the VSTs, and I am saving for a weighted keyboard to really learn piano. I hope this may help someone with similar needs.

We’ve integrated the Oxygen 49 MKV into our audio studio as a primary MIDI controller, and it has streamlined our workflow significantly. The keys have a great natural response for a controller in this class, but the "Smart" features—specifically Smart Chord and Scale modes—are what save us the most time during composition sessions. The NKS integration makes browsing our Native Instruments library seamless, and the auto-mapping to our DAW worked right out of the box. It’s a reliable, feature-rich keyboard that handles both delicate melody lines and heavy beat-making with the pads.

I enjoy using this product for making music, thanks!

Excelente lo mejor de lo mejor y portable

Llevo 4 años utilizando este controlador MIDI y me ha funcionado a la perfección, vale la pena porque es calidad precio

Excelent midi keyboard. Drum pad could be better. But if you buy for keys and mild drum pad this is best. Key bed is soo good.

Hem Garageband Hem Logic uyumlu. Direkt takınca M1 Chip üzrinde usb den cihazı görüyor. Onun dışında tuşlar çok kaliteli ve fiyatının hakkını sonuna kadar veriyor.

Great MIDI keyboard for the price. Easy plug-and-play on Mac, good key response, and useful pads and controls. Works perfectly with GarageBand and other DAWs. Highly recommended.

Excellent contrôleur MIDI, avec tout le nécessaire pour une bonne production ou pour jouer en live

Great instrument
