An Updated Oxygen8 for MIDI Control
The M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 is an updated version of the mobile MIDI controller that started the mobile studio revolution. You get a fully functional MIDI keyboard with great action, plus eight MIDI-assignable knobs to control any MIDI parameters you want in your hardware or software. The Oxygen 8 v2 is perfect for composing on the go, performing live bass lines and pads, firing samples, or triggering audio and/or visual effects. Just grab your laptop, grab the M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2, and start making music!

M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 MIDI Controller At a Glance:
  • Total control of MIDI parameters
  • Easy to program
  • Free Enigma editor/librarian software download
  • USB bus or battery power
  • Bundled with Ableton Live Lite software

Total MIDI Control
MIDI isn't just about triggering notes — and the Oxygen 8 v2 has what it takes to access all those deep parameters in your software and hardware so you can get the most out of them. Map the eight knobs to any synth parameters you want to program or perform with — or to mixer controls like volume, panning, and effects send. Assign the buttons to trigger samples and anything else that is MIDI-programmable. Assignment is simple, yet has the power to let you delve as deep as you want. Each of the Oxygen 8 v2's controllers can map to just about any applicable parameter in the MIDI spec, including independent channel addressing for each. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Easy Programming
The Oxygen 8 v2 features dedicated front-panel function buttons to easily access common operations like preset, program or channel up/down, octave up/down, and transpose up/down. Use the Controller Mute button to prevent parameters from jumping when you change them, then press Snapshot to transmit all current settings. The Advanced Function button allows the keyboard to serve as a data-entry device for controller assignment and similar setup functions. The Oxygen 8 v2's front-panel 3-segment LCD gives you the information you need for programming parameters at a glance. 10 non-volatile memory locations instantly save and recall your favorite presets-and you can manage an entire preset library on your computer via SysEx dumps and the free Enigma software editor/librarian for PC and Mac.

Free Enigma Editor/Librarian Software
Download Enigma - a powerful software editor/librarian for Mac and PC that lets you easily program, store and load setups for the Oxygen 8 v2. Enigma includes a huge library of files for your favorite VST plug-ins, instruments and host apps. Programming is as simple as dragging the software parameter you want to control onto the graphic representation of the controller on your screen. With Enigma, your library of Oxygen 8 v2 controller presets can be virtually unlimited.

Mobile Operation
The original Oxygen 8 defined a new era of mobile keyboard controllers-and now there's an entire line to choose from. The Oxygen 8 v2 and the entire Oxygen series are extremely compact and lightweight and all models are powered directly from your computer's USB bus. Choose the size that's best for your needs, then take your music anywhere you want to go.

Bundled with Ableton Live Lite Software
Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live — the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments — as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences-together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.

Music Background:  17 years making my own music.


“The original Oxygen 8 was great and easy to use and now they took it up a notch with transport controls.

You couldn't ask for a better or more simple to use controller. I use it with Reason 4.0.1 and its all set to go with that.

This with a M-Audio Portable Studio Backpack set you free from being locked in your house making music.
Now you can compose that...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "One of my first MIDI controllers was the Oxygen 8. The new redesigned model is a perfect addition for a live electronic musician. The knobs and new transport controls make this an ideal companion for the Ableton and Reason user. Great price for such a versatile instrument."
