The M-Audio Oxygen 49-Key USB MIDI Controller’s main features include:
Installation was slow as the manual and website dont match up. The Direct link software is new and not easily found on the website. The web address in the manual does not work. Using it with garageband. Keys are as expected. Very handy having the stop/play/rec and track 1-8 vol faders on the keyboard.
