M-Audio pioneered the portable MIDI controller market with the Oxygen series of keyboard controllers, which now includes this Oxygen 49 MKIV model. Today, M-Audio continues to be a leader of this technology by developing intuitive controllers for software-based music production and performance. Thanks to continued innovation over the course of nearly a decade, the Oxygen series controllers offer more control, deep hardware/software integration, and come equipped with a reliable build that enables you to make music on the go or implement these controllers into any studio.

Streamlined Control
With an array of assignable knobs, pads and faders, Oxygen 49 MKIV gives you total control over your software, allowing you to stay engaged in the creative flow of recording and mixing music without ever reaching for the mouse. It features 49 velocity-sensitive keys for playing chords, bass lines, and melodies; eight assignable knobs for tweaking effect plugins and virtual instruments; eight velocity-sensitive pads for triggering samples or finger drumming; and nine assignable faders for mixing tracks together and controlling the master output. Oxygen 49 MKIV also has dedicated transport controls and track-up and track-down buttons that allow you to initiate play, stop and record in the DAW environment right from your keyboard controller.

Use Your Favorite DAW
The Oxygen 49 MIDI controller offers out-of-the-box integration with popular DAWs, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase and many more. Oxygen 49's controls instantly map to key parameters in your favorite DAW, enabling you to immediately tweak the mixers, editors and transport windows. Additionally, Oxygen 49 MKIV has built-in customizable mapping presets that quickly interface Oxygen 49 with your favorite effect plug-ins and virtual instruments. The factory presets map Oxygen 49 to the bundled software, SONiVOX Twist, so you can plug in and start making music right out of the box. Setting up a MIDI controller with your software doesn't get any easier than this.

Ableton Live Lite
Ableton Live Lite is included with Oxygen 49 MKIV for immediate music creation. One of the most popular performance and production programs available in the world, Ableton Live Lite is a powerful music creation tool that enables musicians and producers to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit musical ideas in a fluid audio/MIDI environment. Host plug-ins and use Oxygen 49 to produce, compose or perform all within Ableton Live Lite. When you are satisfied with your work, Ableton Live lets you save it or mix it down.

SONiVOX TWIST
SONiVOX Twist is a spectral morphing synthesis virtual instrument. Comprised of a dynamic interface, an advanced pattern generator and onboard effects, Twist lets you create serious sounds using simple controls. Two swirling sound layers provide unique harmonic controls and form the basis of every patch. Sculpt your sound with a multi-mode filter, independent amp and filter envelope generators, and a LFO that can be synced to tempo.
