Smart Controls
With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, Oxygen Pro 61 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 61’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.
Next-Gen Playability
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.

Phases, trends, fads... call them what you want, they've been around forever - and won't be going anywhere in a hurry. Of course, it never takes us long to find something new to obsess about as other things make their way out, and some make their way back in - like low rise jeans and middle-partings.
Health and beauty trends are much the same, like when putting mayonnaise in your hair was considered an excellent conditioner - as long as fellow passengers on the bus didn't sit close enough to smell you and think their lunchbox was leaking. Or using egg on your skin as a natural tightener.
Keep the eggs and mayo for breakfast, and stick to the tried and trusted basics. Like good old fashioned sunscreen. Just like our deal on NIVEA Sun. It never goes out of style!
