Oxygen Pro 61 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller With Beat Pads, MIDI-assignable Knobs, Buttons and Faders, and Native Instruments Sound Package (NKS Integration)

Early days, as I’m only just discovering the possibilities with the Oxygen Pro61, but I will tell you my initial findings thus far. M-Audio’s Oxygen Pro61 build is impressive, feels solid and made for the road. As a plus it also looks the business too. Keys are exactly as stated, they feel great, maybe a little noisy but only noticeable in a silent room. With headphones on, or on the road with amp and decent speakers no one will know. The pads, all fully lit, look great and work well. Sliders buttons and dials all feel solid and positive in action and function. Theres also adequate connectivity on the back panel. M-Audio also bundle some of the best software to get you going. Ableton Live needs no words from me, you’ll likely already know how good Ableton is, and thats just one of the options. This keyboard has complete freedom to program whatever DAW you like. Ableton and Apples Garage Band works seamlessly without any tech requirements from the user, pretty much plug and play. As I say, early days for me with this keyboard but first impressions are as the title says, 'possibly the best 61 key midi keyboard’.

Great keyboard has all that one needs but settting it up is just too long especially for someone that just wants to practice, you cant just turn it on you gotta have a laptop and more to use it which kinda sucks other than that its pretty good

I am a keyboardist and so have played many keyboards, so for it's price I would say it's really good as additional effects or as a second board. If you're not a keys player, then this will suit you fine for midi recordings etc. The only issue is that the drum pads aren't easy to set up and I haven't been able to get them working with Ableton yet. Also, the pitch bend is very slow in comparison to regular pitch bends, so as a soloist, this was quite disappointing. The aftertouch is great, the keyboard is very sensitive or not 100% like a piano, because sometimes it registers me playing certain notes a bit louder than they should be, but this only effects recording and isn't that noticeable during live performance. But overall, really great for its price. Couldn't ask for lunch more, just if you're looking for a pitch bend, this might not be the keyboard for you.

This is an excellent MIDI controller & it worked sytraight away with Ableton, & Fruity Loops Studio. Keys are really nice & I would recommend this to anyone. Also the delivery arrived the next day

That's the best 61 key controller I ever used and believe me, I've had and tested, let's say "a few" (and sold most of them due to their disadvantages). You won't find anything better for less than £250. Shame there's no 88 keys keybed as I do compose very often for philharmonic orchestra but hey, it has aftertouch feature in this price range! A bit to much pressure has to be used but still works fine. Noisy, "clicky" sound when pressing keys but this can be forgiven as it has so many sound control options. Fantastic integration with DAW's, personal midi mappings, 16 pads, sliders on the left side (yay!), software included etc. And this tiny display surprisingly does the job, you don't really need a bigger one. Well done, M-audio. Cheers, Si.

Since this was a reconditioned product that was reduced was expecting it to be marked or scratched. It arrived in perfect condition and perfect working order to my surprise. Got it quickly up and running in Ableton live without any issues. Was pleasantly surprised the aftertouch worked well so I am now channeling my inner Vangelis lol

Replaced my novation launchkey with this item, am well impressed, love the arp and chord features, great feeling keybed with aftertouch and also has midi out socket, can't go wrong for the money, highly recommended.

Lots of features and for organ players, the drawbar /faders on the left tend to be the best position. But slide up to gliss with the palm of and the sharp edges of the keybed can easily graze and cause pain to your hand. I was not impressed and returned it. The keybed is not pro quality and limits its use. You should not have to stop playing because of wounds to your palms!

I followed the instruction and tried many other way but couldn't turn on this keyboard

Het is geweldig en heel veel mogelijkheden 👏🏼👌🏼 Veel gratis software en VST instrumenten.

Un excelente controlador, muy práctico y productivo a la hora de trabajar con mi DAW. Una excelente opción para los amantes de la producción y grabación.
