M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini OXYGEN PRO MINI

M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini Smart Controls

With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology,
creating music and transferring what’s in your imagination to what you
hear coming out of your computer has never been easier!
With Smart Chord activated, pressing a single key or
pad will play a full chord rather than just one note. The key or pad
you press will determine the root note in the chord. The rest of the
chord’s properties (Major, Minor, and Voicing — 1,3,5; 1,3,5,7, etc.)
are determined by the settings you choose. Smart Chord also has a Custom
Mode which lets you to determine the chord structure that will be
assigned to each key by manually playing it. For example, if you select
Custom Mode, and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every key will then be assigned
to play this chord structure. The note of the key you press will serve
as the root of the chord and all of the parameters can be edited right
on the Oxygen Pro Mini!
The Oxygen Pro Mini also features intelligent Smart Scale technology.
With Smart Scale, you can set the key bed so that only notes in the
selected scale are able to be played. This allows you to play within a
chosen scale without the risk of playing any “wrong” notes. You can
choose from 16 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the
keyboard. Smart Scale is easy to activate and deactivate and allows you
to set the scale parameters you need to keep you focused on creating.
Professional Producer Features
Built into the Oxygen Pro Mini are features that are essential to
creating modern day pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional.
Note Repeat allows you to hold down any of the
custom-made M-Audio performance pads and you’ll hear a repeated rhythmic
pattern at a selectable note division. The Note Repeat feature can be
activated momentarily or can be used in Latch mode. If you choose
Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played by
the pad automatically repeat. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will
cause its assigned note to repeat without you having to hold down the
Note Repeat button.
The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you
are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW. When
the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the
pressed keys in sequence. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm is based
on the keyboard’s time division setting and either the keyboard’s or
your DAW’s tempo setting. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length
you’ve selected for the time division setting; for example, if you
select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be a quarter note. This
powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to
unleash your creativity.
