Can you please help me how to reset all settings and back it where they were on default since i pressed couple of buttons and in combination i accidently bind couple of keyboard key to my pads... I would be really happy if you can help me out :) Thank you in advance
This is not only the highest quality tutorial I've ever seen on RUclips, but one of the very best videos on the site period. I cannot thank you enough for the incredible presentation, editing and how well you managed to explain very complicated functions that I had no prior knowledge of. I hope you make more videos related to MIDI or music production in general. This is how tutorial videos should be!
Franco Tiscornia I’ll second your comment. I just came home with a used Oxygen 49, and even with a manual, it was baffling... Not even half way through this vid, and now I get it...
Holy shit this is the most comprehensive, full, well done and easy to understand tutorial i have seen in decades! Thank you so much :) Subscribed and looking forward to more!
Awesome! Thanks for filling in the blanks that are missing from the manual. I've spent many hours scratching my head trying to work this stuff out. Wish I'd found this video six months ago.
This is the Best of the Best Beginner to Pro tutorial for Oxygen MIDI, I guess after this tutorial anyone will be able to get any MIDI keyboard working with any DAW. It's like understanding the Backend of MIDI and DAW communication. Thankyou for such a beautiful tutorial. I learn not only about the Oxygen MIDI but I got the complete idea of how MIDI communicates with the DAW, which I believe is the most important thing to understand i.e. the Channels, Functions, Values etc. Now I understand why MIDI manufacturers struggle with compatibility to DAWs. Thankyou ❤️🙂👍
Have just bought a M-Audio Oxygen 61 and stumbled across your video. What an incredibly well thought out and informative thing it is! Thank you so much for posting. For an old duffer (like me!), it is so helpful and easy to understand, I can't thank you enough, you have a new subscriber!
extremely well done tutorial. You made my old Oxygen Blue alive. I'm realy impressed with quality of your presentation, and its really hard to point any unnecessary word within your narration. My fullest respect, you are The Man.
Guys! I've found the way to set the velocity of the pads! -Just press edit and then go to the key 'Vel curve' and you press it TWICE, the pads will light up and you will set the sensitivity at F03, your welcome ;) greetings from Colombia :p
Thanks Andres - you're right! I didn't know about that. Incidentally, this won't solve the problem of very soft touches not triggering the pads. It will only remap the velocity values of hits which *do* light up the pads.
BIG THANK you for this video that is complete, very useful. You anticipate most wondering we could have, you explain things with great teaching skills. At least it's answering all my questions, my misunderstanding. Great job and thanks again to have taken the time to do such tutorial.
Just bought one for 46$ Really excited to get it. Can't wait for it. Looks so proffessional. By the way this is gonna the first MIDI controller i am gonna have ever.
WOW! That was a lot of very useful and practical information. Thank you for breathing a new life into my dull Oxygen controller. I have scratched my head and long ago gave up about putting buttons on toggle/release mode. I'm glad I waited until the end of the video to find out how to do that. This's my easiest LIKE/SUB ever. Thank you!
Why can't they make more video's than this one, just in one word A W E S O M E, this video was the goal of buying this Midi Controller Keyboard with 61 keys to use. This was just what I needed to expand my arrangements for my projects with my guitar and voice. I advise strongly to buy also a usb connector hub with adapter in order to not burn up you laptop supply. With my audio midi-controller 4 ch input from behringer and the free two software programs which you receive by buying it on my laptop I am ready to start of. Thank you so much for this great tutorial.
I am blown away with this tutorial - M-Audio owe you big time as you have simplified everything so well including capturing the things that can screw you. Just subscribed to your channel so I can see what others you have.
Finally a comprehensive explanation on how to use my M-Oxygen Midi Controller, although may need a couple of rewinds to grasp fully. But you mention software plug-ins such as Kontakt, Massive X and FM8 Native Instruments. Awesome sounds. Should these plug ins already be on my Ableton Live 10 or do they have to be purchased and downloaded on to Ableton Live. Thanks.
How, when and where did you learn all this ? Brilliantly intuitive and informative vid - my only problem is that I will have to watch it about 499 more times before it all sinks in 🤣
This is an excellent explanatory video. Thank you. I would never have understood what was going on on my Oxygen otherwise! The user guide tells me next to nowt! :D
This is a FANTASTIC tutorial. Thank you very much! The M-Audio documentation is quite lacking. M-Audio should pay you $10,000 for creating this excellent video.
Congratulations with an excellent tutorial in a nice calming voice. I am considering buying the M-Audio Oxygen 25 and thanks to your video, I have now made up my mind to go ahead with the purchase. :)
That's fantastic - I'm sure you won't regret it. I've owned several Oxygen controllers, over the years, and have gotten so much great use out of them. Enjoy your new hardware!
This was so perfect! Thank you! Just got my oxygen 49 yesterday. Been loving it so far, but getting a head start on all of the controls and settings verse through trial and error is great to have! P.S. The velocity curve graph you made was hilarious. When I saw "Tinkerbell > Lana Kane" I laughed so hard! Brilliant comparison!
What a great tutorial, a lot of useful information indeed! I have a dilemma, I think the latest firmware update corrupted my pitch bend wheel. My M-Audio Oxygen 49 pitch wheel is reading 84 at mid point, I have rest it to factory to no avail (due to the firmware, factory is no longer factory, and M-Audio will not supply older firmware versions.) . Is there a way to change it through the function buttons/keys to default at 64 again? Thanks in advance for any help regarding this. (I have the same model as you have.)
That's a bummer. I haven't come across it before. Does the LED display show 000 when the pitch wheel is all the way down, and 127 when all the way up? If not, then use EDIT mode to set the DATA2 and DATA3 blocks to 0 and 127, respectively. That should give you a mid point of 64. (And let us know if that works, because it looks like another commenter, Reda, had the same problem).
@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 Thank you for responding, once again, your tutorial is really impressive!!! When I push the wheel all the way down it reads 0 and all the way up it reads 127. It is too bad because I have to leave the wheel disengaged all of the time now. I had to buy another keyboard (different brand this time) to get pitch bend (which I use a lot) and the keys are semi weighted and terrible on the new keyboard. I love the non-weighted action of the M-Audio keyboard. M-Audio wants me to send in the keyboard. And disassembling the keyboard, this model has a newer style PB device that cannot be adjusted. If you do not have any problems with your keyboard DON'T use M-Audio's firmware updater... It is several years old and still has not been fixed to allow for older firmware updates to be reloaded. Can you post the procedure of how to set the data 2 and 3 blocks regarding the PB wheel?? Maybe if I set them to arbitrary numbers and back again it may reset the midpoint. Thx :)
@@FlockofAngels Thanks for the additional info - I will definitely stay away from firmware updates! I've pinned this thread, so hopefully it will warn others, too. It sounds like you'll need to get the unit serviced. I seriously doubt that you'll be able to fix the problem using Edit mode (but to answer your question, the video has an example of editing DATA values, at 33:30 ). Sorry to hear that you're not liking your new semi-weighted keyboard - maybe it will just take time to adjust.
I’m having the same issue which is why I’m here (learned a lot from this tutorial btw thank you). Good news for me, I never use my pitchbend wheel, but with it defaulting to random numbers (not 64) it’s messing with everything else. So my question is if I cut the wire from the wheel to the mother board will that ONLY disable the pitch bend wheel or is that a bad idea for the sake of the rest of my Oxygen49? Thank you in advance
@@sharrettwithyourfriends Unlucky for me when my pitchbend wheel defaults to a different random pitch it makes it unusable with my DAW. The keyboard is useless now... I went out and bought a non M-Audio controller.
Thank you so much! I had this midi controller for 2 years, and I could never figure out how this thing works. It was pre-owned, so the manual didn't come with it. Back then, there weren't any online manuals on this exact controller, and there weren't any helpful tutorials or guides explaining all the features. This video solved many hours of frustration and confusion for me!
I don't have the screen labels, the controller buttons and arrow buttons just make sounds, and the sliders and knobs don't do anything. I have an oxygen 61.
@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283Can u please tell if it is possible to make light show with this controller with pad triggers just like novation using Ableton ?
God I had no idea my old Oxygen49 (without the drum pads) did all this - I'm only up to 6min 49s and I have to go and make the lunch now... must come back to it..
Hi there. I brought the MKIV and I realised I downloaded the wrong firmware (MKV) onto the controller which has caused my controller not to turn on at all. Ive tried to reset it but no luck. Im only able to put the controller back onto the update mode with the U on the screen. Then I download right firmware, but its stuck on 55% of update... Now I can`t use mt pad at all.. I was wandering If there's anyway to remedy this problem? Awesome video mate
Can you please help me know how to assign a button volum to my m audio oxygen 49. I used to do it with the C9 button. But i supposed that i change it accidently. And i really want to have a button to control the volume
it's so crazy how people make ads for MIDI and literally drag and drop things and go "wow", like wtf. if I open RUclips and play a song, how I'ma act proud of myself like I had anything to do with that. smh. we not the same.
Obviously a great amount of work went into that video! Very well done, sir! I hope M-Audio will make you some kind of offer in the future so you do more of this and actually get a little something for it.
I bought a new Windows 11 computer and no longer does my Oxygen61 MK IV be able to toggle stop, play and record buttons in auto mode for Ableton Live. It used to in my older PC to just magically know what button does what when in AUTO mode but no longer. Not sure how to fix this.
This is so good; I wish I'd thought to look for it years ago! Struggling with the manual got me nowhere - this covered everything I wanted to do but gave up on!
This was very good, however I have a hard time understanding it, as my DAW allows me to adjust most everything pan etc, altho I would like to use a velocity slide for certain notes etc how can I use the pan and velocity slides apply to notes, my slides don't seem to work or do anything, I use bandlab for DAW due to access to instruments etc but any help is appreciated as I want to be able to fade and the website doesn't seem to have fade functions ?
Hi! The mod wheel of my midi keeps fluctuating.. I have changed the input to the faders... However, hoe can I disable that mod wheel so that it randomly not sends its fluctuating signals
So um, I'm using Ableton and this is a new error, my midi buttons aren't mapping at all, the data is somehow being confused with my pitchbend knob, so when I move the pitch bend it also starts moving the parameter I want my midi button to be mapped to. Can't find anyone else anywhere with this issue
Excellent tutorial! Thanks. However - my new OXYGEN49 is obviously a different model - no EDIT button, no C numbers, different display items (ARP CHORD SCALE), record button is black, and other differences - apparently mine is the (MKV) model ? I've learned much from this video, but I can't apply much of it directly. The manual is of minimal use. Hope to find similar tutorials for my model. I'll share here if I do.
Thank you for this detailed information. I've owned an Oxygen 49 for a couple of years and never fully understood all its customisations. I found your video because I was looking for reviews of the new Oxygen Pro series. I would love to see your review of one of those, especially in terms of changes or improvements to everything you covered in this video, as well as the key action. I wonder if it's worth upgrading to a Pro 61 as a cheaper alternative to something like the Arturia KeyLab series, which I believe are better quality but beyond my current budget.
Hey thanks for the message. I hadn't been aware of the new Oxygen Pro series - looks interesting! It even has aftertouch. And the scale/arpeggio features remind me of Native Instruments keyboards. I emailed M-Audio asking if they could help organize a test-drive, so I could create a video about the Pro series, but they didn't respond.
I am new to these but I just bought the Oxygen 49. I am struggling to get the ProTools "playback engine" to recognize my Dell XPS audio (RealTek ASIO) and I've even tried "ASIO4ALL" without any luck. Does anyone have any advice? I am at the end of my rope to get this all to work.
Sir, I'm trying to programming same midi keyboard. I don't know how i've changed in settings, now it creates problem. When I press E2 it is playing in full velocity. The prolblem is in only E key (in second octave) I don't know, How to solve it. Please help me. I've resorte settings. But its creates problem everytime when I press E note. Pleas help me.

Is there away for the M-Audio Oxygen49 to move DOWN the audio samples in LIVE? I know the buttons under the sliders pick the columns. But how do you move down to the next set of tracks???
Convert to VST's they said. It'll be easier they said. Custom circular staircases and dedicated astrophotography are easier than this. I sold my old keyboards and am now officially painted in a corner with this. I can play my software (Cantabile) after I manually write everything with computer keyboard and mouse but have no way to assign volumes, on off switches for patches,effects, etc to the actual instrument. I have a new Oxygen pro61 if anyone wants to take a stab at it. Tons of Ableton videos. No help....eesh. I miss real synths.
Oh wow there's more videos! Yayy I think I'm about to get my binge learn on! I dont even have a M Audio keyboard i have a akai mpk249 and a nektar lx25+ but this video was perfect for the level of midi I'm at, I found it after watching another guy's oxygen tutorial, I might wld have liked it a little bit more in depth but that's kinda how midi works for me, if I bite off too much at once I get spun and mixed up and don't learn or gain much, so I've been just taking it a little slower.
Also have a question, just got the Oxygen 25 gen 4 just plugged in and run Ableton Live 11 Suite on a Windows machine, not sure why but the keys are off, such as when i play C it registers as C# so all the keys are off by one semitone. Anyone know how to fix, thx!
I'm using two Oxygen 61's with Cubase 12 one Oxy controls one synth and the other Oxy controls another synth but when I save the project and then open the project it always reverts to the first Oxy, I think they are both sharing the same driver. Any ideas? Thanks
I cannot tell you how incredibly helpful this was. Thank you! I use Reaper, and now I've got all my sliders, knobs, and pads controlling volume and track soloing. Great video!
Please when i press 1 note (for example C5) it seems to trigger about four or five notes around it, it happens on G or F (can't remember which) as well. 4 drum pads seem to be constantly lit as well and these trigger too when i press those keys. I've tried everything from resetting the oxygen 25 to resetting FL Studio, nothing seems to work! It's driving me insane! It used to work fine and now all of a sudden its developed this problem over the last few months. Please help
I've had this M-Audio Oxygen for over a year now, just sitting there staring at me. I feel like I just about made up that entire year. Thank you so much!!!
Please help me my oxygen49 suddenly stopped working while playing display is working but it not send signal and when I turn off and on it working later it stop working
Thanks for making this video. Ive dealt with far more technical things than this keyboard but theres just something about the manual and auto mode that really threw me.

To factory-reset the Oxygen, hold down both the Octave buttons (plus and minus), while you turn on the power switch.
Well thats not working any other way to fix my prob?

Obviously a great amount of work went into that video! Very well done, sir! I hope M-Audio will make you some kind of offer in the future so you do more of this and actually get a little something for it.
Thanks, Mr.E - good of you to say.
I bought a new Windows 11 computer and no longer does my Oxygen61 MK IV be able to toggle stop, play and record buttons in auto mode for Ableton Live. It used to in my older PC to just magically know what button does what when in AUTO mode but no longer. Not sure how to fix this.
you are the best thank you so much.!
Thanks! Very helpful. It's unfortunate the drum pad configuration was determined by Satan.
that was amazing. I've been waiting for three years for a video like this!! thank you
Thanks for the feedback, glad it was helpful.
This is so good; I wish I'd thought to look for it years ago! Struggling with the manual got me nowhere - this covered everything I wanted to do but gave up on!
Hi - Can Oxygen 49 MIDI be used as a electronic piano ( almost like a synthesizer) to play real time music through the DAW and the computer speakers ?
This was very good, however I have a hard time understanding it, as my DAW allows me to adjust most everything pan etc, altho I would like to use a velocity slide for certain notes etc how can I use the pan and velocity slides apply to notes, my slides don't seem to work or do anything, I use bandlab for DAW due to access to instruments etc but any help is appreciated as I want to be able to fade and the website doesn't seem to have fade functions ?
I wish you were making tutorials of everything I wanted to learn about.
Hi! The mod wheel of my midi keeps fluctuating.. I have changed the input to the faders... However, hoe can I disable that mod wheel so that it randomly not sends its fluctuating signals
So um, I'm using Ableton and this is a new error, my midi buttons aren't mapping at all, the data is somehow being confused with my pitchbend knob, so when I move the pitch bend it also starts moving the parameter I want my midi button to be mapped to. Can't find anyone else anywhere with this issue
26:55 this function would transpose the m audio oxygen mkIV and not the octave 😢. That function works for oxygen Pro version.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks. However - my new OXYGEN49 is obviously a different model - no EDIT button, no C numbers, different display items (ARP CHORD SCALE), record button is black, and other differences - apparently mine is the (MKV) model ? I've learned much from this video, but I can't apply much of it directly. The manual is of minimal use. Hope to find similar tutorials for my model. I'll share here if I do.
Told me everything but what needed to know! I plugged it in to my computer only to get a flashing "0"
Thank you for this detailed information. I've owned an Oxygen 49 for a couple of years and never fully understood all its customisations. I found your video because I was looking for reviews of the new Oxygen Pro series. I would love to see your review of one of those, especially in terms of changes or improvements to everything you covered in this video, as well as the key action. I wonder if it's worth upgrading to a Pro 61 as a cheaper alternative to something like the Arturia KeyLab series, which I believe are better quality but beyond my current budget.
Hey thanks for the message. I hadn't been aware of the new Oxygen Pro series - looks interesting! It even has aftertouch. And the scale/arpeggio features remind me of Native Instruments keyboards. I emailed M-Audio asking if they could help organize a test-drive, so I could create a video about the Pro series, but they didn't respond.
I'm trying to setup this to the Wispow freePiano. can you help me pls?
I am new to these but I just bought the Oxygen 49. I am struggling to get the ProTools "playback engine" to recognize my Dell XPS audio (RealTek ASIO) and I've even tried "ASIO4ALL" without any luck. Does anyone have any advice? I am at the end of my rope to get this all to work.

Is there away for the M-Audio Oxygen49 to move DOWN the audio samples in LIVE? I know the buttons under the sliders pick the columns. But how do you move down to the next set of tracks???
Convert to VST's they said. It'll be easier they said. Custom circular staircases and dedicated astrophotography are easier than this. I sold my old keyboards and am now officially painted in a corner with this. I can play my software (Cantabile) after I manually write everything with computer keyboard and mouse but have no way to assign volumes, on off switches for patches,effects, etc to the actual instrument. I have a new Oxygen pro61 if anyone wants to take a stab at it. Tons of Ableton videos. No help....eesh. I miss real synths.
Oh wow there's more videos! Yayy I think I'm about to get my binge learn on! I dont even have a M Audio keyboard i have a akai mpk249 and a nektar lx25+ but this video was perfect for the level of midi I'm at, I found it after watching another guy's oxygen tutorial, I might wld have liked it a little bit more in depth but that's kinda how midi works for me, if I bite off too much at once I get spun and mixed up and don't learn or gain much, so I've been just taking it a little slower.
Also have a question, just got the Oxygen 25 gen 4 just plugged in and run Ableton Live 11 Suite on a Windows machine, not sure why but the keys are off, such as when i play C it registers as C# so all the keys are off by one semitone. Anyone know how to fix, thx!
My pitch bend response is incrdibly slow to what I'm used to on my previous keyboard...I how do I speed up the response?
I'm using two Oxygen 61's with Cubase 12 one Oxy controls one synth and the other Oxy controls another synth but when I save the project and then open the project it always reverts to the first Oxy, I think they are both sharing the same driver. Any ideas?
Thanks
I cannot tell you how incredibly helpful this was. Thank you! I use Reaper, and now I've got all my sliders, knobs, and pads controlling volume and track soloing. Great video!
Glad to hear it. Happy reaping.
I have M audio oxygen 49 4th gen. But it loos connectivity with my daw. How to solve this problem?
Please when i press 1 note (for example C5) it seems to trigger about four or five notes around it, it happens on G or F (can't remember which) as well. 4 drum pads seem to be constantly lit as well and these trigger too when i press those keys. I've tried everything from resetting the oxygen 25 to resetting FL Studio, nothing seems to work! It's driving me insane! It used to work fine and now all of a sudden its developed this problem over the last few months. Please help
Sorry, but that's a bit above my pay grade. Good luck, though!
my octave buttons doens't work, can you help me pls¿
Please do one for Novation Launchkey and Arturia also
I've had this M-Audio Oxygen for over a year now, just sitting there staring at me. I feel like I just about made up that entire year. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks, glad it was helpful.
Please help me my oxygen49 suddenly stopped working while playing display is working but it not send signal and when I turn off and on it working later it stop working
Thanks for breaking it down. Any more info in a subsequent video relating to Logic Pro is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the great help.
Only one thing, how to load saved preset to a new project?
Thanks for making this video. Ive dealt with far more technical things than this keyboard but theres just something about the manual and auto mode that really threw me.
That's a great tutorial! Thank you so much!
Does the customization and hardware control of MKV work with Cubase?
But how I can assign every single pad at every single key of one instrument track in Logic? Thank
Very helpful to an old folkie. Thank you very much.
the best
What an amazingly helpful video... THANK YOU!
