OXYGEN 61 MKV

Arpeggiators help add excitement and movement to music quickly and easily. The Oxygen 61 MKV's built-in arpeggiator affects whatever you play on the keys of any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the arpeggiator is enabled, the keyboard repeatedly plays the keys that are pressed in the selected sequence. The timing and rhythm of the arpeggiator are based on the timing setting of the keyboard, either in the tempo of the keyboard or in the tempo setting of your DAW. Each note in the arpeggio has the length selected for the timing setting. For example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be audible in quarter note increments. This powerful tool can work in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.

Using the Oxygen 61 MKV controller with any DAW is incredibly easy. Controls such as transport, fader, pan, record, solo, mute, select and many more are automatically mapped to most DAWs for a smooth workflow. The Oxygen 61 (MKV) works with all major DAWs - including Ableton, Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic Pro, Studio One and many more. By simply selecting your DAW on the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard controller and configuring your DAW's presets for the keyboard, a new world of creative production is at your fingertips. The Oxygen 61 MKV keyboard also includes presets for all included virtual instruments and plugins (Mini Grand and Hybrid 3). These world-class plug-ins can be fully controlled and used in real time via the Oxygen 61 (MKV) keyboard controller.

Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology are the links between your musically creative mind and your final productions. The Smart Chord feature helps you bring out your inner musical genius by playing entire chords with a single keystroke, and with the Smart Scale feature, the Oxygen 61 MKV's keys play the exact notes within a selected scale. Both features offer even more with a Custom Mode and over 15 different scale variations. With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, making music has never been easier.

The Oxygen 61 MKV includes everything you need to get creative from the start. Record, playback, arrange, and mix your tracks with a choice of two professional DAWs, including MPC Beats and Ableton Live Lite. The arsenal of DAWs is complemented by two incredible virtual instrument plugins, the critically acclaimed Hybrid 3 multi-oscillator synthesizer and Mini Grand - a virtual acoustic piano instrument that offers a wide range of the most realistic piano sounds on the market.
