May 18, 2017 If you don't mind paying a little bit extra for the brand name, the M-Audio Oxygen 25 MKIV is a great keyboard for your home studio. Newbies to MIDI might find it a little difficult to customize the keyboard according to their needs, but this is easily resolved by simply reading the manual and is far from being a dealbreaker. I just bought a Oxygen 49 Midi keyboard controller to aid in making loops for my church. I am currently saving up for Pro Tools but until then I am using Garageband. I tried downloading the driver twice but It will not show up when I open garageband or search for it in the finder. I'm sure this is an easy fix but i'm new at this. The keys work fine but I cannot assign anything else. M­Audio wanted to make sure that the Oxygen 49 MKIV operates as intended with just about every major DAW out there. That means no need for painful syncing of devices, it works perfectly with GarageBand on my Mac – just plug it in and you are good to go.

The M-Audio Oxygen 25 (MKIV), Oxygen 49 (MKIV), and Oxygen 61 (MKIV) are professional pad and keyboard controllers designed for hands-on software control, sequencing, and performance. This article walks through a number of Frequently Asked Questions about the M-Audio Oxygen Series controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software does the Oxygen Series come with?

All keyboards in the Oxygen (MKIV) series include download codes for Ableton Live Lite 9 and SONiVOX Twist - Spectral Morphing Synthesizer.

I do not have the authorization codes for my software. What do I do?

If your authorization code is lost or misplaced, contact M-Audio Technical Support by visiting www.m-audio.com/support for further assistance.

What operating systems are supported? Do I need to install any drivers?

The Oxygen (MKIV) series is class compliant, which means you don’t have to download or install any drivers. Being class compliant also means that the Oxygen (MKIV) series will run on all current and future operating systems for PC and Mac.

Will the transport buttons, rotary knobs, and faders control my DAW automatically?

The Oxygen (MKIV) series controllers have DirectLink compatibility. Rather than assigning parameters one by one, DirectLink automatically maps the Oxygen’s controls to many of the most frequently used digital audio workstations. When used with a supported DAW, you can control the transport, mixing controls (faders and panning) and virtual instrument or signal processing plug-in parameters. Current DirectLink supportincludesReason, Cubase, Ableton, Pro Tools, Garageband, and Logic.

To enable DirectLink with your Oxygen, you may need to install some additional software. Visit www.m-audio.com/directlink to download the necessary DirectLink driver personalities for your specific DAW.

What are the default MIDI notes for the pads. Can I change the notes sent by the pads?

The default notes assigned to the pads are as follows:

The pads on the Oxygen (MKIV) series are capable of transmitting Note ON/OFF and velocity messages. You can shift all 8 pads simultaneously by a single note or octave.

To shift all eight pads by a single note

• Hold SHIFT and SELECT and press either the '-' or '+' OCTAVE button

To shift all eight pads by an octave

• Hold SHIFT and press either the '-' or '+' OCTAVE button

How do I reset the pads?

Hold SHIFT and both OCTAVE buttons. The pads will light up and then dim to show that they have been reset.

Can I control my virtual instruments while the Oxygen is already controlling my DAW?

Each keyboard in the Oxygen (MKIV) series has an AUTO button that allows you to switch between controlling your DAW (in the ON position) or your virtual instruments (in the OFF position).

Can I use the Oxygen (MKIV) series controller with my iPad??

Yes! Any Oxygen (MKIV) series keyboard will be fully powered by your iOS device’s bus power. To use an Oxygen (MKIV) series keyboard with an iPad, connect it using the iPad Camera Connection kit (sold separately).

How do I perform a factory reset?

Hold the '-' and '+' OCTAVE buttons while powering the keyboard on, and it will restore the controller to the factory default settings.

M- Audio Oxygen Garageband Software

M-Audio (formerly Midiman) is a business unit of inMusic Brands that designs and markets digital audio and MIDI interfaces, keyboards and MIDI controllers, synthesizers, loudspeakers, studio monitors, digital DJ systems, microphones, and music software. The company has independent offices in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France and Japan.

History[edit]

Midiman[edit]

M-Audio was founded in the late 1990s by Tim Ryan, an engineer and graduate of the California Institute of Technology who had co-designed the Con Brio Advanced Digital Synthesizer and helped develop MIDI software for Commodore and Apple computers, including two of the best-selling MIDI software titles at that time, Studio One and Studio Two. After founding the company as Music Soft and changing the name to Midiman due to Yamaha Corporation already owning the rights to the Music Soft name, Ryan began the company with hardware solutions designed to solve the challenges of connecting MIDI, audio, and computer equipment together for the purposes of music production.^[1]

Midiman first established itself as a manufacturer of small, affordable MIDI problem solvers, sync devices, and interfaces. The first Midiman product was named the 'Midiman,' a MIDI-to-tape recorder synchronizer, but the first products that experienced mainstream success were the Syncman and Syncman Pro VITC-to-LTC/MTC converters. The next products of note were the Midisport and Bi-Port range of MIDI interfaces which were far more commercially successful than any other Midiman product to date, and which established a core product category for the company for many years to come.

Following the commercial success of the MIDI interface line, Midiman introduced the Flying Cow and Flying Calf A/D / D/A converters,^[2] and entered the audio interface product category for the first time with the 4-input, 20-bit DMAN 2044.^[3]

Growth, re-branding and Avid acquisition[edit]

In the year 2000 and in conjunction with the announcement of the Delta Series PCI audio interfaces, Midiman introduced 'M-Audio' as the new brand for their audio products.^[4] In the years following, Midiman grew business further by entering into distribution deals with Propellerhead Software, Ableton, ArKaos,^[5] and Groove Tubes microphones,^[6] The success of the Midiman and M-Audio products, combined with the distribution revenues, resulted in 128% growth for the company in 2001 and 68% growth in 2002, making Midiman the fastest-growing music company in the US for both of those years.^[1]

Having now established themselves in the MIDI interface and audio interface product categories, Midiman entered the MIDI keyboard controller market in 2002 with the introduction of the portable 25-key Oxygen8. While not the first 25-key MIDI controller nor the first cost-effective keyboard controller with plenty of hardware MIDI controls, the Oxygen8 helped establish the new category of portable keyboard controller, and a significant product category for M-Audio in the years to come. Similarly, the same year marked M-Audio's entry to the studio monitor speaker market with the Studiophile SP5B.^[7] Later that same year, Midiman officially re-branded themselves entirely as M-Audio, the brand they'd been using for their audio division since 1999.^[8]

In 2003, Midiman acquired Evolution Electronics LTD, manufacturer of MIDI controllers, as a wholly owned subsidiary, and continued to sell Evolution-branded MIDI controllers and keyboards.^[9] The following year, Avid Technology acquired Midiman, Inc. (which was, at that time, doing business as M-Audio). Avid paid approximately $174 million, or nearly eight times the book value of the company.^[10] The payment was in the form of $80 million in cash, approximately 2 million shares of Avid common stock issued, and all M-Audio stock options assumed. Tim Ryan continued on with the company as general manager.^[11]

2005–2011[edit]

After Avid purchased M-Audio, Digidesign and M-Audio cooperated to release a limited version of Digidesign's flagship product, Pro Tools, that was compatible with M-Audio's affordable audio interface hardware. This version of Pro Tools was named Pro Tools M-Powered. M-Audio's products continued to be aimed at computer-based home recording enthusiasts, with more and more emphasis on portability and hardware controllers for music software, like Trigger Finger,^[12] an early USB MIDI pad controller which utilized a 4x4 grid of 16 pads to trigger sounds via MIDI, the iControl controller for GarageBand,^[13] and the ProjectMix I/O^[14] integrated control surface/audio interface. The company's keyboard controller range expanded to 3 different sizes of Oxygen-series keyboard, the more affordable and more modestly featured Keystation series, and later the premium Axiom series USB MIDI keyboard controllers.

Audio interfaces remained a dominant category for M-Audio as well, with ongoing versions of the Delta series PCI interfaces, the FastTrack series USB audio interfaces, and the ProFire series firewire audio interfaces, among others. Similarly, studio reference monitors remained a strong category, and included the Studiophile BX series, Studiophile CX series, and premium Studiophile DSM series monitors, along with the consumer electronics-targeted AV series desktop speakers.

M-audio Oxygen 61 Ipad Garageband

M-Audio also branched out into new product categories. In 2005, M-Audio released Black Box, a guitar processor and audio interface with guitar amp modeling, beat-synced effects, and drum tracks for computer based recording that they had co-developed with Roger Linn Design.^[15] A digital stage piano, the ProKeys 88, introduced M-Audio to an instrument category. A partnership with Ultimate Ears brought about M-Audio IE-series earphones, and M-Audio joined the handheld digital audio recorder market with the MicroTrack series. With the introduction of Torq and its related hardware, M-Audio established itself in the growing digital DJ category.

Sale to inMusic (2012-present)[edit]

In mid-2012, Avid sold M-Audio to inMusic as part of an attempt to streamline operations and reduce operating costs.^[16] Along with its consumer music hardware products, inMusic also acquired the AIR software group's IP and engineering team, responsible for many of the virtual instruments and plug-ins for the Pro Tools audio production software platform. Avid retained the Mbox range of audio interfaces and some other formerly M-Audio-brand products.
