Portable Size
This is the most compact and affordable version of M-Audio’s Oxygen MK V series of MIDI controller keyboards. Equipped with 25 slick, responsive and full-size synth action keys, this is the one to go for if portability and space is a priority. The 25-key version boasts the same internal features as its larger siblings and condenses them into an easily transportable package that lends itself well to producers on-the-go and those working in a compact studio. Throw in the 8 trigger pads, 8 assignable knobs & a slider and you’ve got a versatile MIDI controller solution.
If you require an extended range and additional hands-on control for your software plugins & instruments, we recommend taking a look at the 49 and 61 key versions of the Oxygen MKV series.

In addition to improved pitch & mod wheel performance, time clock and an enhanced Preset Editor, the new firmware adds Automatic Mapping for Ableton Live. Now you can control clips with pads, use the faders to control track functions and more. You can learn about the Oxygen Series’ tighter intergration with Ableton here.
