DirectLink: Auto Map from M-Audio
DirectLink is a hassle-free control mode that instantly maps the Oxygen's controls to a digital audio workstation (DAW), giving intuitive hands-on control over a session right from the keyboard. Direct Link is simple but effective auto map software, automatically mapping useful controls in your music software. Players and producers are able to be more creative and get results without the need for complex MIDI mapping or controller programming.

The third generation of M-Audio Oxygen keyboard controllers offer out-of-the-box integration with Pro Tools 8 LE, M-Powered and HD. With DirectLink, the controls instantly map to key parameters in the Pro Tools Mixer, Edit and Transport windows - as well as the powerful suite of virtual instruments bundled with Pro Tools 8. Together, the new Oxygen USB MIDI controllers and Pro Tools 8 software offer a streamlined and intuitive workflow so you can focus on what really matters - your music.
