help M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 FAQ
Does the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 have weighted piano keys?
It has 61 velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, not fully weighted hammer-action keys. Pianists seeking an acoustic-style mechanism would normally consider an 88-key hammer-action controller instead.
Can the Oxygen Pro 61 control Ableton Live and Logic Pro?
Yes, it provides DAW mapping for software including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, MPC Beats, and Pro Tools. Its faders, encoders, transport buttons, and pads can control common mixer and instrument functions after setup.
Does the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 work without a computer?
It is primarily a MIDI controller and contains no built-in library of playable instrument sounds. It can control external MIDI hardware through its MIDI output, but a computer, sound module, or synthesizer must generate the audio.
What is the difference between the Oxygen Pro 61 and Oxygen 61 MKV?
The Pro model adds features such as semi-weighted keys, aftertouch, an OLED display, and deeper performance controls. The Oxygen 61 MKV is a simpler and usually less expensive controller for basic DAW and virtual-instrument operation.
