The M-Audio Oxygen 25 Key USB MIDI controller delivers next-generation functionality and features eight assignable knobs, plus dedicated transport and track select buttons. Oxygen 25 incorporates DirectLink mode to automatically map these controls to common DAW functions including transport, mixer, track pan and plug-in parameters. Built-in factory presets on the new Oxygen offer support for popular virtual instruments right out of the box, no complicated setup required. Velocity-sensitive keys and a sleek, compact design round out a portable 25-note keyboard that’s perfect for both production and performance. No other MIDI controller keyboard in this price range has so much functionality while remaining as easy to use as the new generation M-Audio Oxygen 25.
The Oxygen 25 keyboard packs an amazing amount of control for DAWs and soft synths into an incredibly small footprint. There’s always room for it—even in the most crowded desktops, efficient stage rigs or compact studios. It’s also the perfect complement to your laptop for making music anywhere inspiration strikes—whether relaxing on the couch, writing on a plane or jamming on a tourbus. With the Oxygen 25 MIDI controller, you can carry your entire mobile laptop studio in a shoulder bag.
Featuring eight assignable knobs, a programmable slider, dedicated transport controls and track up/down buttons, the Oxygen 25 gives you total control over your session —allowing you to stay engaged in the creative flow of recording and mixing music rather than being interrupted by the constant back and forth between QWERTY keyboard and MIDI controller. DirectLink mode automatically maps Oxygen 25 controls to common DAW parameters*—while factory presets provide instant mapping to popular virtual instruments including Xpand!™2, Hybrid™, Velvet®, Strike®, Oddity, ImpOSCar and MiniMonsta. Use the dedicated Select buttons to quickly switch MIDI channels and presets for deep tactile control over multitimbral hardware and software instruments. Interfacing a MIDI controller with your software doesn’t get any easier than this.
Pro Tools Compatible
The M-Audio Oxygen 25 offers out-of-the-box integration with Pro Tools® software—the industry standard DAW found in professional, project and personal studios around the world.

Together, Oxygen 25 and Pro Tools software provide streamlined workflow in a formidable system with tons of interface options and industry-standard file compatibility.
