Getting DAW control going relies on configuring the software of your choice to communicate with some or all of the Oxygen Pro’s four virtual USB MIDI ports. This was my setup for Ableton Live: I found I further had to enable some of the Sync options (not documented in M‑Audio’s walkthroughs) to get the arpeggiator to sync to Live’s tempo.M‑Audio bandy around the term ‘auto‑mapped’ quite a bit in their blurb, but it’s more accurate to say that the roles of the hardware sliders, buttons and knobs for each DAW are pre‑mapped, and the underlying configurations saved like presets into the Oxygen Pro’s internal memory. There’s nothing like the complexity of Novation’s old Automap system (or indeed M‑Audio’s now‑defunct HyperControl), which promised tight two‑way communication between DAW and controller via all sorts of additional software and/or ‘wrapped’ plug‑ins: a great shame, or a blessed relief, depending on your expectations and aspirations.

M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 USB MIDI Controller Key Features: For the bundled virtual instruments, at least, the physical location of on‑screen plug‑in parameters is often mirrored in the left‑to‑right layout of the Oxygen’s faders and knobs, which is sensible and practical. There’s next to no documentation anywhere, but figure out which controls move your on‑screen cutoff and resonance knobs and you can be squelching away with the best of them. As with the DAW control you’ll never get any hints from the Oxygen Pro screen about what parameter any given hardware control is tied to, even for the factory maps, which is disappointing, and such an obvious possibility. And just to be clear, Preset mode is no more or less than a simple, one‑way (ie. transmit‑only) MIDI control system, similar to that which underpinned dedicated knobby MIDI control surfaces of bygone decades. Which is to say it’s far from state‑of‑the‑art but potentially hugely useful. These are well‑spec’ed, capable and competitively priced controllers that should fit right into many different setups.
