watching videos of you review these keyboards is teaching me music theory. I learn different than most. You breaking down the smart chord functionality really taught me something Ive been trying to understand. 💯
So glad you're making tutorials on the Oxygen Pro, I'm planning to get one asap. So I'm looking forward to more great videos. Destroyed the subscribe button ✌️
Awesome video. Easy and precise explanation. I’m not even excited for your upcoming video which you mentioned. I’m a worship leader and so far I’ve only used Yamaha stage keyboards. I want to learn to use these gears for live sesssions
Great video, Douglas! Have been considering the Pro 25 and watching/liking your videos and have a few questions... 1- can you stop the blinking of the tempo button? I think it will be totally distracting to me, as it does during watching your videos. Continuous blinking lights can trigger migraines for me. 2- I missed you talking about if the 25 has access to the other octaves on a larger keyboard and how to change it to those higher/ lower octaves. 3- I noticed a lot of keyboard noise as you were playing. How did you find it? 4- my favourite daw, Cakewalk by bandlab is not listed in the daw list. Does this mean that the auto mapping will not work for me? For me, as a beginner, the auto mapping feature makes it very attractive but Cakewalk is a great, free, fully featured daw that doesn’t require a cloud subscription....and I have projects on the go. Thanks for all your videos, super helpful! Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Kenny
Thank you vero muco for tour interesting videos. I have hot an oxygen pro 61 Do you Think you Will make a video about how to map daw and preset?. Or how to assigne sliders, knobs and pads to daw or to instruments like for example kontakt?. I hope so.
Great channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. So I picked up the oxygen pro 61, and I got it working with Logic. Almost. I can't get it to sync and lock time with the arpeggiator and repeater. You're a badass with the technology so I figured you would know . Any insight would be greatly appreciated 👍
Thanks! Unfortunately, I’m a Windows user and therefore can’t use and am not familiar with Logic...🤦🏻♂️ Just thinking out loud though, if you’re trying to get the controller to sync with logic, have you set the clock on the controller to external?
@@DSoundman thanks. Yes, And then it stops playing notes, and becomes very inconsistent. And still doesn't sync. Waiting to hear back from maudio. But thanks, love what you're doing!
Great video, I will probably be picking on of these up very soon. I had a question, can you set some chords to major and some to minor at the same time?
So... Could you use this smart chord feature when using a harmizer for example a tc helicon voicework and then put it on 4 voices and then use the smart chord option... what you think? possible? Did anyone try this out yet? Tell me what you think
I have the MPC software 2.10 how can I get to that to work. Is there something i need to do in the mapping. I can get the keys and the pads to work but that's it.
Douglas, is it possible to save my own chords on the pads and name them so I can upload at a later time For instance like if I have 10 custom chord sets, would I be able to call then up by name?
Hi, how can I set ARP + CHORD + SCALE at the same time on my OXYGEN PRO 49 ? It's very easy on AKAI MPK Mini Plus, but I don't have found the solution on your keyboard M-AUDIO ! Your advice will be really appreciated ;)
Hey man awesome video very informative! I'm looking to buy my first midi, and I'm considering the oxygen pro 49. Here is what I'm looking for: 1) Good key-bed, I will mainly using it for playing the piano so "weighted keys" and good overall feeling 2) Decent Pads, both for drums and launching/recording clips... ideally to do some live looping which looks fun 3) Integration with many DAWs, since I will try many of them before sticking with one 200 euros is my budget. Now would you still recommend the oxygen pro or do you have other options? (Arturia, Code 49, Launchkey...) Thank you so much
Thank you! Sounds to me like the Oxygen Pro 49 or 61 would be a good fit for you! If you're mostly playing piano, the more keys the better if you have the room and budget!
This is awesome! My problem is Smart Chord mode keeps turning on randomly when I’m playing and I don’t want it to 😅 I can’t figure out why or how to make sure it doesn’t come on unless I want it to. Any ideas?
Hi Keri, that's really weird, I've never experienced that! Have you been able to pin it down to certain notes you're playing or something you're consistently doing, or is it completely random?
Thanks! Unless you are short on space or need portability, I’d go for the 49. More DAW controls and the extra keys come in handy...plus an extra 8 faders!
Please help. I use key C, voicing 1,3,5, and type Major. If you press C, you can actually see in the DAW that the note C,E,G are pressed. But if I press D, it is D,F,A - Which is Dm not D. Same if I press E, it's E,G,B, which is Em and not E. I changed it to type minor, C becomes C, D#, G, while D and E remains D,F,A and E,G,B respectively. What is wrong here? My DAW is Studio One but I don't think it has anything to do with DAW.
I really need your help, i keep watching this video bit I just cannot figure out how to gointo chord mode on my oxygen 49 pro...i get confused because i have the bigger model than you an uou email me? im so frustrated fter spending so much money on this thing
You should just be able to press the chord button to turn chord mode on. To get to the chord mode edit menu, hold the shift button and press the chord button again. Same goes for scale mode except with the scale button. Hope that works for you!

Great video.
very useful video bro 👌
Great Video!!!!
Thanks!
This thing is incredible! Do you know if it's fully compatible with the MPC Live 2?
Great video 👍🏾 Just a question... Can the Smart Chord mode be used along with the various arpeggiator modes??
Hi, great video, can you please tell me is this one good for live performance gigs with band and for home studio use also?
Thanks
Hello!
Can I configure one of the chords to be a major in the chain of chords in the key of Am?
For example:
Am-Dm-E-Am
The air grand piano it comes with is a trial version or full?
Can you map your chords for the whole song?
Great video, I will probably be picking on of these up very soon. I had a question, can you set some chords to major and some to minor at the same time?
Thanks! Not that I’m aware of.
@@DSoundman So if you are in Cmajor with 1,3,5 voicing and press an A key what notes would play? Would you get an Amin or Amaj or nothing?

Hi there, unfortunately I don’t believe that’s possible with this controller. 😕
I have problems installing my Oxygen Pro 61.Can not download software manager.Please help me

Can it send midi clock out of midi din output ?

very good...what you recommend 25 or 49 ?
Thanks! Unless you are short on space or need portability, I’d go for the 49. More DAW controls and the extra keys come in handy...plus an extra 8 faders!
in chord mode, will it record the whole chord into the piano roll, or only the pressed key?
Whole chord

Hi there! Those are actually the normal chords in a C major scale. This might help explain: www.piano-keyboard-guide.com/key-of-c.html
@@DSoundman Okay, thanks. Now clear the setup means C + Major.
Yes
Is it possible to use chords on pads and play a solo with the keys?
So when you set chord mode you actually dont hear what you set.
Does chord mode send out this midi data say to my MiniNova?
Can it do SMART CHORD and SCALE mod? TOGETHER at same time?
Ar at least SPLIT chord mod and other side of the split Scale mode?
can i set it up to play power chords (1, 5)
Yes, if you use the custom mode, you can set the voicing to the 1, 5 to get those chords.
I really need your help, i keep watching this video bit I just cannot figure out how to gointo chord mode on my oxygen 49 pro...i get confused because i have the bigger model than you an uou email me? im so frustrated fter spending so much money on this thing
on my controller there are 2 buttons for this, there is a button for chord and another button for scale...please help me
You should just be able to press the chord button to turn chord mode on. To get to the chord mode edit menu, hold the shift button and press the chord button again. Same goes for scale mode except with the scale button. Hope that works for you!
Only major or minor?
Correct
M odio novason impakt Alesis all makin very low quality n bad keybords they wil not last fr even 6 mnth..better buy lo priced n use fr 1 year n throw away
Yes it is cheating but nobody will hear it 🤗
😂
Nah you right but I'm finna buy it lol 😆
Absolutely useless most songs have Minor and major chords
