@DSoundman.....just bought one, how does the sound come out since it doesn't have an inbuilt speaker? My roland juno ds 88 has a DAW. Can I use the DAW on my roland keys to control my m audio?

Many of these tips worked for my M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 as well. Thanks a lot @DSoundman!

Thanks!

I just ordered a M-Audio Oxgen pro 61 still waiting on it to arrive but I am trying to learn all I can on Daw settings this will be very helpful thanks

[@deniz-gunay]

You are my only source to learn this keyboard :)

[@DSoundman]

Haha thanks!

[@roberthowlett5424]

On your recommendation, I purchased this keyboard. I can't think you enough. I have had an issue with the keyboards that I previously purchased and now, am able to use the music package that I have previously used, with only a little issue, which will be fixed with my next purchase.

[@maudio]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, great video!

[@DSoundman]

My pleasure, thank you!

[@robertsanham3279]

Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I had major issues getting it to work. I look forward to more videos.

Thanks, enjoy!

The best tutorial for the best controller of this class. Today 11FEB2021 I've got the M-Audio Pro 49 and looks like they changed a couple things: 1. the check box in settings of the software manager now is visible (white square) and the gear icon is now on the upper right corner. 2. the controller setup is slightly different: setup/perfipherals/Type: HUI, Receive from: Oxygen Pro 49, Mackie/HUI, Send to: Oxygen Pro 49, Mackie/HUI, #Ch's: 8

[@DSoundman]

Thanks Simeon!

[@TechTraction]

Great overview on setup. I like that you've broken up the review into multiple videos. It's a little more "time friendly" in my opinion. I'm not going with ProTools but I think you're correct in saying that your instruction will apply to other DAWs as well. Using Reaper now, I'll comment again once I have my M-Audio and have hooked everything together. Thanks again (liked and subscribed).

[@AnatoleBranch]

How did it go with Reaper? I'm looking at Midi controllers now and trying to figure out which plays best with Reaper.

[@Dieterbe]

I have been spending hours trying to get the transport controls to work with reaper and I am on the verge of throwing my brand new controller in the thrash

[@brutalbasspro]

I play in a rush tribute band this is the keyboard I use for the Geddy Lee parts with some cool daw stuff.

What is the use of sustain - is it for output speakers

[@DSoundman]

The sustain port is for a sustain or damper pedal.

[@PhilORourke]

Really good and very pro-presentation, really glad I subscribed. Thanks for your hard work and patient application. Phil Eng, UK.

[@beverlyfeuille9485]

Your video was helpful but I need help with connecting using MainStage.

[@DSoundman]

HI Beverly! It's a been a little while since I've used Mainstage, but if I remember correctly, you setup the mapping of the controller right within the Mainstage software. I did a quick search and found a video that may help guide you in the right direction! Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6Wsk4iOmLF0grs

Question: Can I connect my new M-Audio Oxygen 49 Keyboard to my Galaxy Tab A8 Tablet and run Beatlab with it? If so, how do I link up the Beatlab App to the keyboard? Thanks for answering. Much appreciated. 🙏😎 This is not spam! I seriously want to know if I can do this. I am setting up my new M-Audio this Saturday (11/5/2024), and following your YT Videos to get it installed, registered and hopefully connected to my Tablet. So your answer is seriously graciously appreciated. Thank you for taking the time. Shalom. 🙏😇

[@SoundAuthor]

My Pro61 should arrive tomorrow. I'm more of a simpleton with these controllers. I don't like anything pre-mapped. Hoping I can just use some kind of generic mode where I can make the assignments I want, otherwise it's just a keyboard. I'm weird like that. 😂

[@thecartooncynic]

Watching this was very helpful, and this also made me realize I made the correct choice in buying the 49 key version, figured more keys would make learning to play easier :)

[@officially_its.just.will2217]

Can you tell me how to change the midi channel, or make a video about it? Because the manual is kind of vague and doesn’t go into a lot detail😂.

[@DSoundman]

Yes! I talk about it in the in-depth review coming in the next day or two!

[@wadesettle]

did you ever have luck with connecting the oxygen pro tempo to control the DAW tempo?

[@AndorBioletaAdv]

Have the same problem. Do you already know how to do this? Thanks!

[@gapdizzle]

Same problem here. I can't get the tempo in logic to sync eith the keyboard, which really kills the arp and note repeat functions

[@dBRebornProduction]

Can you explain please , does sustain pedal can be kick drum pedal on controller ??

[@wireguy123]

Got the 49 Pro. Got Daw control to work..thanks for the help..but cannot get any of the pads to trigger actions in Reaper. Even though the software says theres a midi CC on it..A midi monitor program says nothing being sent.

[@DSoundman]

Hey James! I don't have experience with Reaper, but the only thing I can think of is that possibly Reaper is expecting the communications to come on a different MIDI channel? I plan on downloading Reaper at some point and giving it a run through...I'll let you know if I'm able to figure anything out.

[@wireguy123]

@@DSoundman I have enabled control on all 4 Oxygen 49 midi channels...Oddly when I hit shift and hit a pad..it works

Control Drivers (Midi3) do not send CC or Note messages. DAW mode uses only midi 3 apparently

My ProTools First can not be controlled by the Oxygen Pro 61. I set the Daw right on the Oxygen and set it to Mac. Keys work but controls don’t. Hope you can give me a hint.

[@DSoundman]

Hey Stefan, unfortunately, Pro Tools First doesn’t support DAW control, only the keys and drum pads. 😞

[@TheStefanGuitar]

@@DSoundman wow that was a fast answer, thank you. The pads and faders also don’t Drive the daw. Pressing pads gives i.e. a key sound. All this is very difficult for me as a beginner at daw use. 🤔 Your Videos are providing great help. 👍🏻

Your videos are awesome man!! So informative! Do you have any tips or videos on setting this up with Luna by chance?

[@SwanSycorax]

I have just bought an M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini from a reseller here in the UK. I tried to follow your instructions / advice and the information put out by M-Audio but the installation is a complete nightmare!!!!! My DAW (whatever that means!!) is Cubase and my platform is the iMAC with the most up to date o/s. I was able to update the firmware in th unit and download and install the Software Manager. However, when I tried to set-up the unit to run with my Cubase the instructions shown on the M-Audio site bear no resemblance to what is showing on my MAC's screen the net result of which is that whilst the "piano" keys on th unit will activate the notes when I call up Halion Sonic SE on a new track, none of the other function keys or pads work as controllers to the software. I also had installed the Hybrid 3, Mini Grand and Velvet apps but could not find any way to get the activation keys and when I started Cubase I got error messages for each application that said they could not be loaded into Cubase as they are 32 bit. Really, really fed up and frustrated by this experience and, when I try to contact M-Audio Support I get the message that my log-in is invalid despite the fact I had been through the registration and carried out the earlier download and installation. Not at all happy or impressed.

[@snowandcoal]

How I can keep the channel, note and color settings on pads? It does factory reset for them every time I restart my computer.

Brian Kodered Cool right now i my M Audio Oxygen Pro 25 connected to my MPC software and my MPC studio can I map my keyboard to both software or should I get Akai Mini keyboard and just map my m audio to Studio one

[@cubdukat]

I just picked up a 49-key model the other day, and I have yet to get it to work in any DAW, particularly Reaper. After I hit the encoder after selecting WIN, an option pops up to save it. I select "Replace" and hit the encoder, but it just toggles back and forth between that option and "No" directly under it, and if I back out, it doesn't seem as if anything I did took effect, because none of the controls work. I just updated myself to the latest firmware, so there's gotta be something I'm doing wrong.
