The M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 25-Key USB MIDI Controller is a 25-note velocity-sensitive, synth-action keyboard with +/-4 octave transposition. You get hands-on control of any 8 MIDI-assignable parameters within your favorite software programs. The Oxygen 8 v2 speaks directly to your computer without any extra devices or even a MIDI interface. Upgrades from the original version include class compliancy, transport controls, Enigma software editor for setup management, snapshot function, and plus/minus data buttons. Like the original Oxygen 8 it features 8 MIDI assignable knobs, one assignable slider, and a 25-key controller keyboard. It inputs and outputs 16 channels of MIDI to the computer via its USB port. Powered by USB or optional power supply, it is light, compact, and highly portable.
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 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.
Free Enigma Editor/Librarian Software
Download Enigma—a powerful software editor/librarian for Mac and PC that lets you easily program, store and load setups for M-Audio and Evolution USB MIDI controllers. Enigma includes a huge library of files for your favorite VST plug-ins, instruments and host apps. Programming is as simple as dragging the software parameter you want to control onto the graphic representation of the controller on your screen. With Enigma, your library of controller presets is virtually unlimited.
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 can powered directly from your computer's USB bus port or an optional power supply* (12VDC, 1,000ma). Choose the size that's best for your needs, then take your music anywhere you want to go.

Ok, so you don't want to spend too much money, and all you need is a simple controller. After one month, two of the keys just sprang up, for no apparent reason. Then the entire keyboard started sagging on the left. weird, right? Well, after attempting to deal with tech support--they told me to just buy a new one, as it would cost more to fix than to replace (store said same thing), I decided to take it apart. Oe of the rubber pieces was never affixed to the keyboard, so I fixed that. but two of the case screws attaching the keyboard were never installed. how stupid is that? Save your pennies and buy something more substantial. This is truly garbage.

I've used this for 2 years now until I got a new computer. Apparently, all m-audio products are not compatible with Windows Media Center Edition, and so my computer cannot read the keyboard at all.

Great little controller

The 25 key range is good for banging out lines and comps independently. The action is great - full feel and function keys - I've quit using my evolution keyboard. The quality of the knobs and keys is great also. Plus you get a $*** discount off Live's full version so basically you can get a great controller + Ableton Live (brilliant piece of software) for $** LESS than Live alone. Try passing that up.
