M-Audio Oxygen 49

gives you the same control, flexibility and power as our Oxygen 61, just with an octave fewer keys to accommodate tight spaces and even greater mobility. You get the same quality keyboard, built-in MIDI interface and knobs, sliders and buttons totaling 35 MIDI-assignable controllers for complete control of your hardware and software. Store 10 different setups in on-board non-volatile memory, plus manage an infinite number with our free Enigma software for Mac and PC. Bus-powered operation and a weight of only 7.5 pounds lets you play, compose, record and mix with ultimate mobility.

Total MIDI Control

MIDI isn't just about triggering notes and the Oxygen series has what it takes to access all those deep parameters in your software and hardware so you can get the most out of them. Map the eight knobs to any synth parameters you want to program or perform with or to mixer controls like volume, panning and effects send. Assign the buttons to trigger samples and anything else that is MIDI-programmable. Assignment is simple, yet has the power to let you delve as deep as you want. Each controller can map to just about any applicable parameter in the MIDI spec, including independent channel addressing for each. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Easy Programming

Oxygen 49 controllers feature dedicated front-panel function buttons to easily access common operations like preset, program or channel up/down, octave up/down, and transpose up/down. Use the Controller Mute button to prevent parameters from jumping when you change them, then press Snapshot to transmit all current settings. The Advanced Function button allows the keyboard to serve as a data-entry device for controller assignment and similar setup functions. The front-panel 3-segment LCD gives you the information you need for programming parameters at a glance. 10 non-volatile memory locations instantly save and recall your favorite presets?and you can manage an entire preset library on your computer via SysEx dumps and our free Enigma software editor/librarian for PC and Mac.

Mobile Operation

The original Oxygen8 defined a new era of mobile keyboard controllers and now there's an entire line to choose from. The entire Oxygen series is extremely compact and lightweight and all models are powered directly from your computer's USB bus. Choose the M-Audio Oxygen 49 that's best for your needs, then take your music anywhere you want to go.

10/22/2011 - I received this keyboard as a gift so I could play around in GarageBand on my PowerBook. No software installation required, plugging into the USB port worked flawlessly on OSX. Within 45 minutes I had composed my first little ditty in GarageBand. This is definitely a fun toy to have. I'm sure there are better keyboards out there, but this one has all the functions I need. Pick this up if you're looking for an affordable MIDI keyboard...

07/18/2010 - First of all, velocity sensitivity of the keys is terrible. You can consistently control 2 (may be 3 if you've very sensitive fingers) levels of velocity but forget about more it's too springy for that. Touch is nowhere near a piano but nobody should expect it at this price. If velocity sensitivity isn't important for you and all you need is pitch & modulation wheels and a volume control in addition to keys, you'll like this very much. Plug n Play works perfectly on XP, no drivers needed. No adapters needed because of USB connection provides power too. Works great with M-Audio's SP-2 sustain pedal. It's light and not too big. Recommended.

06/05/2010 - A few weeks ago, I found myself browsing the Apple Store. There is always something great to see, when I walked up to an iMac connected to this M-Audio Keyboard 49-note. I had always been interested in being able to better utilize Garageband, which is included on all Macintosh computers. I immediately fell in love with the ability to create, edit, and listen to music on the Mac. I purchased the keyboard, and looked forward to plugging it in, when I got home. I connected the M-Audio Keyboard to my Powerbook, and it was detected instantly. I was playing music in Garageband immediately, which speaks to the great design of not only Macs and Garageband, but this keyboard as well. The appearance of the keyboard will nicely match most Apple products, for it is white and gray. The back of the keyboard features midi output, a USB port, and sustain pedal input. You can purchase an electronic keyboard sustain pedal separately. The USB cable to connect your keyboard to your computer is included. If you're using this midi controller to play or record music on your computer, the USB cable will power it, so an A/C adapter is not necessary. This keyboard provides fantastic value, for the price. Combined with your computer, you can create amazing music. Overall, if you're interested in creating music on your Macintosh, pick up this M-Audio Keyboard 49-note. I couldn't be happier with mine, and it has given me an entirely new way to use my computer.
