Delve into worlds of unchartered expression and creativity, effortlessly bring your production ideas to life. Root your focus on creating music – not programming your software. Everything the modern music creator demands is here, engineered to put your creativity firmly in the driving seat. It doesn’t matter if you want to create music on the go or in the studio, the M-Audio Oxygen Pro series is perfectly flexible for any workflow.

Fusing 25 best-in-class, velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keys with aftertouch and assignable zones with a built in arpeggiator, 16 RGB, backlit, assignable, velocity-sensitive pads with Note Repeat, plus 8 assignable knobs and buttons, Oxygen Pro 25 comes complete with everything you need to get the most out of your virtual instrument collection and DAW.

With the easy to read OLED screen, configuring the Oxygen Pro 25 with any mainstream DAW couldn’t be simpler. Whether you use Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic, Studio One or any other music making platform, simply select the map and Auto-Mapping will take care of the rest. Unleash complete tactile control of your DAW with automatically mapped core functions including Transport, Pan controls and more, directly to the hardware controls on the Oxygen Pro 25. What’s more, Oxygen Pro 25 instantly maps to all world-class Air Music Tech virtual instruments included with the Oxygen Pro Series (Hybrid 3, Velvet, Mini Grand, Vacuum, Boom, DB-33) for an unprecedented degree of real-time tactile control as you create and mix your music.

With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, Oxygen Pro 25 removes any and all barriers to your production. With Smart Chord activated, pressing a single key or pad will play a full chord with easy-to-use options to set chord properties and customised progressions across the keybed. With Smart Scale, Oxygen Pro 25’s keybed can be configured to one of 16 scale variations, so only notes in the selected scale are played. The result? You spend less time hitting technique- based roadblocks and more time realising your creative vision.

The M-Audio PrecisionTouch keybed combines professional semi-weighted action with advanced high-speed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive, unrivalled playing experience. This all-new custom keybed also features Assignable Aftertouch, giving users added expression and control to affect the sound of a virtual instrument plugin by continuously scanning how much pressure is applied to any key after initially pressing it. Creating the mood, dynamics and emotion you want to deliver in your music has never been this natural.

Whatever your production discipline, Oxygen Pro 25 includes everything for immediate creative potential from the get- go. Record, sequence, arrange and mixdown your tracks with a choice of 2 professional DAWs including MPC Beats and Ableton Live Lite. Find and create any sound imaginable with a virtual instrument collection from legendary developer AIR Music Tech, including Hybrid 3, Velvet, Mini Grand, Vacuum, Boom and DB-33.
