Professional Producer Features
The Oxygen 49 (MKV) controller includes powerful features essential for creating and producing music such as Note Repeat (a staple mark in beat production),?Full Velocity Control of keys and 8 pads, 8 assignable knobs for controlling effect plugins and virtual instruments, and 9 assignable faders for mixing:?all opening a world of precise music creation techniques making your signature sound professional and modern.
Note Repeat?allows you to hold down any of the?8?custom-made M-Audio?velocity-sensitive?performance pads?in 2 available pad banks to?hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. The Note Repeat feature can be activated momentarily or can be used in Latch mode. If you choose Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played by the pad automatically repeat. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will cause its assigned note to repeat without having to hold down the Note Repeat button.?
Built-in Arpeggiator
Arpeggiators help add excitement and movement to music quickly and easily. The built-in?Arpeggiator?on the Oxygen 49 (MKV) with Type, Octave, Gate and Swing controls will creatively affect anything you are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the keys that are pressed in the selected sequence. The arpeggiators timing and rhythm is based on the keyboards time division setting in either the keyboards tempo, or your DAWs tempo setting. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length selected for the time division setting. For example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be audible in quarter note increments. This powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.
Smart?Controls
Smart Chord?and?Smart Scale?technology are the bridges between your musically creative mind and your final productions. The?Smart Chord?feature helps bring out your inner musical genius by playing full chords with a single key press, and with the Smart Scale feature, the Oxygen 49 (MKV) keys transform into a perfect scale, playing the exact notes within a chosen scale. With?Smart Chord?and?Smart Scale?technology, creating music and unleashing your unlimited creativity has never been easier.
With?Smart Chord?activated, pressing a single key will play a full chord rather than just one note. The key you press will determine the root note in the chord. The rest of the chords properties (Major, Minor, and Voicing) are determined by the settings you choose.?Smart Chord?also has a Custom Mode which lets you determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key by manually playing it. For example, if you select Custom Mode, and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every key will then be assigned to play this chord structure. The note of the key you press will serve as the root of the chord and all the parameters can be edited right on your Oxygen keyboard controller.
The Oxygen series?also features intelligent?Smart Scale?technology. With?Smart Scale, you can set the?keybed?so that only notes in the selected scale are able to be played. This allows you to play within a chosen scale without the risk of playing any wrong notes. You can choose from over 15 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. With Smart Scale controls right on the keys, you will have easy access to set and change Smart Scale parameters on the fly, keeping you focused on what is most important, creating music.
