A New Level of Epic Playability

M-Audio breathes new life into your music with their latest Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers. These next-generation Oxygen MK-series keyboards offer full-size, synth-action, velocity-sensitive keys as well as two full banks of eight velocity-sensitive pads, making it one of the most playable MIDI controllers you’ll get your hands on. Easy-to-navigate, assignable controls automatically map to your favorite DAW, with Smart Chord and Smart Scale options that make it a breeze to freestyle correct notes in any key. And with compatibility with Windows, Mac, and iOS devices, Oxygen MK-series keyboards are perfect for your grab-and-go synth rig.

Streamlined controls improve your workflow

Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are designed to supercharge your creativity by keeping your hands on the instrument and off of a mouse. M-Audio divided the control layout cleanly into separate sections to streamline your workflow and dramatically decrease the learning curve. 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.

Instant mapping for popular DAWs and plug-ins

Automapping automatically assigns slider, encoder, and transport controls to parameters such as track volumes, pans values, and other common functions. If you're using a standard DAW such as Pro Tools, Reason, or Cubase, there’s literally no setup involved. Also, your Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controller includes built-in factory presets that support popular virtual instruments, so you’ll rarely need to manually map out a thing.

Everything you need to make music

M-Audio Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers are loaded with smart features that pack everything you need to make music into one powerful package. No need to get bogged down in pesky music theory — Oxygen MKV controllers come stock with a Smart Chord mode that lets you play sophisticated enharmonic or custom chord voicings, and a Smart Scale mode to eliminate incorrect notes for virtuosic-level solos. Also onboard is a full-featured Arpeggiator with type, octave, gate, and swing controls. DAW transport controls, ergonomic pitch-bend and mod wheels, a sustain pedal jack, and USB-MIDI complete the robust setup. Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controllers also come with MPC Beats and Ableton Live Lite DAW software, as well as a generous virtual instrument plug-in and MPC expansion pack bundle.

iOS connectivity for easy recording and performance

Sweetwater knows more and more musicians are using iOS as an integral part of their creative processes. Using Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, you can connect to any iOS device and use your Oxygen MKV Keyboard Controller to control multitrack recording and virtual instrument apps. That makes it a natural fit for your mobile music rig, whether you’re creating electronic music at the coffee shop or rocking out with your favorite virtual instrument apps onstage.

Great Controller for Me

I chose this keyboard on the recommendation of Jayden at Sweetwater, and it turned out to be exactly the right advice. Didn't think I'd have use for it as a control surface, but once I got it mapped to Cubase those buttons knobs and sliders turned out to be really convenient and let me keep my hands on the keyboard instead of sliding a mouse around.
The action is quiet, consistent, and the keys have just the right amount of resistance for this amateur. Even I can get expression out of them with the stock velocity setting. Build quality is excellent; the device feels solid but nice and light for its size.
Registering the device with M-Audio and obtaining documentation and included software were about as annoying and confusing as usual, but were sufficient, accurate, and customer service was prompt. I'm a happy camper.
Music background: Competent guitarist, hacking away at everything else.

Keys are On

I haven't got all of the knobs and buttons programmed but have the Keys engaged with my 6 Virtual Instruments and will complete the rest of setup when I get the time, loving that part, can't seem to get synced with Daw on the Transport functions but will in time get it I'm sure. Not sure if it's my DAW settings or the Controller settings, I do love the product , need more time on setup to have complete opinion, have NI session guitar, horns pro, strings 2 addictive drums and Konkat Player all working great with Mini Grand Piano and DB33 Organ , it's been busy had to reset up 2 Apple Studios including Flash Drive Upgrade (1TB) on Mac Pro , so All of my purchases from Sweetwater have been awesome and if you need a great Apple Upgrade Store contact OWC, they saved me a lot money from Apple's Services, Sweetwater and OWC works.

download the full manual before trying to set up

1 number onetheteThe QuickStart manual gets you into the vibe of this keyboard , " confusion"
Download the full user manual first -Its as hard to read as the quick start but at least it gives you important info. you'll need to make it this keyboard work .
I've gotten chords and note scales to work . I downloaded many of the trial offers ,and could not get them to work . Then I thought " who cares" , they are "trial offer's " anyway ,they do not work now , I can't see how they would magically work if you bought them .That brings me to a discovery I made ,M-audio makes it sound like you're getting MPC beats and all the other Akai stuff , in reality -you get 20 days to try it out . Thats not written in the description of this keyboard .
