OXYGEN 8 M AUDIO FULL
Changing octaves is quick and easy, so I am getting by just fine without a full sized board. The keys, although they don't feel like a more expensive unit would have, do work well and the touch sensitive key velocity works great in my opinion. I absolutely love that I can control the record, play and rewind, etc., right on the keyboard. I use Cubase 5, and was thrilled to find a midi map file on the M-Audio site that imported into Cubase perfectly for me. Nonetheless, I plugged it in and it worked right off the bat.
OXYGEN 8 M AUDIO DRIVERS
I was concerned about using this via USB with Windows 10 after reading a couple of discussion boards, and the fact that M-Audio doesn't produce drivers for Windows 10. It has pitch and modulation wheels, which are essential to me, and they work great. After doing some research, I found the M-Audio Oxygen 8 V2 on eBay for about $50 brand new in the box.
I also have limited space, and even though I would love a full sized keyboard, it really wouldn't fit well in my current setup, and it exceeds my budget.
I produce my own music and I'm not a keyboard player, but I do construct keyboard lines, which I edit together and create loops with. This powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.This keyboard is not for a serious keyboard player, but for what I assume is it's target demographic (like myself), it is perfect. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length you’ve selected for the time division setting for example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be a quarter note. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm is based on the keyboard’s time division setting and either the keyboard’s or your DAW’s tempo setting. When the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the pressed keys in sequence. The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will cause its assigned note to repeat without you having to hold down the Note Repeat button. If you choose Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played by the pad automatically repeat. The Note Repeat feature can be activated momentarily or can be used in Latch mode. Note Repeat allows you to hold down any of the custom-made M-Audio performance pads and you’ll hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional.

Smart Scale is easy to activate and deactivate and allows you to set the scale parameters you need to keep you focused on creating.īuilt into the Oxygen Pro Mini are features that are essential to creating modern day pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. You can choose from 16 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. This allows you to play within a chosen scale without the risk of playing any “wrong” notes. With Smart Scale, you can set the key bed so that only notes in the selected scale are able to be played. The Oxygen Pro Mini also features intelligent Smart Scale technology. The note of the key you press will serve as the root of the chord and all of the parameters can be edited right on the Oxygen Pro Mini!
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. Smart Chord also has a Custom Mode which lets you to determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key by manually playing it. The rest of the chord’s properties (Major, Minor, and Voicing - 1,3,5 1,3,5,7, etc.) are determined by the settings you choose. The key or pad you press will determine the root note in the chord.
With Smart Chord activated, pressing a single key or pad will play a full chord rather than just one note. With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, creating music and transferring what’s in your imagination to what you hear coming out of your computer has never been easier!
