Great explanation dude. Finally an explanation where the guy doesn't speak too quickly! Thanks from france.
Greetings Turboxav! Thanks, I certainly appreciate your comment, cheers.
THANK YOU A LOT!!!
I had an older version of this keyboard and I used octaves to launch different loops or sounds, but with this new keyboard mkv i had an issue about this, so thanks to you i've figured it out to change channels and then i have lots of sounds to map to the keyboard, you saved my life because in 2 days i have a gig and i had no time anymore to put all correctly :)
Greeting Rottencore! It is great to hear that you found this video useful. I watched one of your videos, interesting use of the MIDI. Keep going!
you're amazing ...'cause you explain us ,slowly & clearly all the manipulation of this machine ....others speak very fast about earth ,moon and sky and in the end nobody knows nothing.......my respect to you friend.
Thank you so much for your kind remark. I used to be a high school teacher. I try to explain things the way my daddy taught me, cheers.

Greetings Thank you for watching, cheers.
Hi mate just subbed I didn't know you had a techy channel until I saw your post on my video , will delve into this channel asap
Cheers, Bram
Yea! I did not realize I was on that login. I like Techy stuff. I try to share what I learn to do. Lately it is musical studio and MIDI keyboard stuff. I was admiring your video and sound, very splendid indeed,
@@cipstechitips1574 Hi Cip, I used to play guitar but my old hands have arthritis and its hard too play now I have been thinking of getting a keyboard sometime in the future.
Great video. could you explain where and how you downloaded the software, I also bought mine on clearance, thanks
Greetings! I think the easiest way is to go to www.AkaiPro.com Setup an account or sign in. Register your product and all available software will be displayed, cheers.
Hi!! Great video! I still need some help pleasee, do you know how can I change the sensibility from the pads?
Greeting Ana! The procedure for the pads is the same as the key bed. But first, press a few pads. Next, hold down shift and press the velocity key (right most "C"). All the pads should start flashing. Keep holding the shift key. Each time you press the velocity key the display will change. Watch at 10:00 into the video for help. Give that a go, let me know if that worked for you, cheers.
@@cipstechitips1574 omg thank you so much!! I'll try it, you're te best!
Anyone know how to setup the preset daw config with ableton live 11 when using the oxygen 25 MK4? My knobs don't work when I turn them when using the E-Piano Basic insturment in ableton.
Greeting Forgetten XIII ! The simplest way to get the knobs and transport buttons to work is to click on the MIDI map button at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The screen will change colors. Click on the "On Screen" item you want to control. Then rotate the knob you want to associate with on-screen knob. You will see a new line in the list. Click the MIDI button to exit map mode.
The mapping will only be saved to current live set. Alway start with this live set. Cheers.
Hi CTT, how do I connect this one to MacBook with Garageband? Simply connecting the O25 with the MacBook and then Garageband will recognise it?
Greetings Rob! All though I have used Garage Band I am not familiar with using it with MIDI's. It must have DAW capabilities to communicate with the MIDI.
How Do I map my knobs and faders to different midi CC numbers
Greetings Ashwin! You can map knobs manually. In the upper right corner of the Ableton screen, click on the "MIDI" button. The colors on the screen will change. In the instrument panel click on the virtual knob you want to assign. On your controller rotate the physical knob you want to use. Click on the "MIDI" button to return to normal Ableton. Give that a go, cheers.
Hy pleas i have a m-audio oxygène 8 and it's hard to connect can u help me pleaaass 🥺🥺
Greetings Minou org! Many people have trouble with the Oxygen8. It is different from the Oxygen8 version 2. I think the Oxy8 is not USB compliant and needs drivers.
The best is to check M-Audio Product Support on their website. Look under "Legacy" products.
Hello, where is the next video of this series?
Greetings, Grldns. I put everything I know about the Oxygen25 into this one video, cheers.
How about latency?
Hi I've purchased one of these with no software with it
Upon plugging into laptop it recognized it as oxygen25
Should I be able to hear sound straight away? Cuz I've got nothing
Do I need to install firmware? And cuz I don't have the software card, can I download them for free? Do I even need those programs? More puzzled I have no sound....any help would be most appreciated
I cant update the firmware as saying no device found
Greeting TSBMS! MIDI's do not have voices. You need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that has the instruments. If it was never registered you can try to register it at the M-Audio website. You can also try free trial versions at Ableton Live, FL Studio, or Cubase. Use your search engine, cheers.
hi sir how can i connect my m audio oxygen 25mkV with mpc software ?
Greetings Mayank! It should be as shown in the video. Connect your MIDI to your computer. In your MPC(Music Production Center) select which MIDI device you want to assign to a track. Some MPC pick it up almost automatically, cheers.
Please can you do a setup video for fl studio with the oxygen25 mkv?
Greeting Light Nwabueze! Sorry I am not familiar with FL Studio, cheers.
Hi, are the pads on the same midi channel, I am trying to assign them to different midi note numbers with no success. Any help would be appreciated
Greeting Mike! At 9:03 in the video, I demonstrated how to change channel for the keybed. According to the user guide, page 30, to change the channels for the pads: press a few pads in the normal manner, then follow the procedure. The last item pressed (keybed, pads, or knobs) is the channel that will be chnged.
I had problems with this. I need to re-test this, not right now, but sometime soon, cheers.
@@cipstechitips1574 Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried what you suggested but it doesn't seem to work, it seems to be only one midi channel for the whole keyboard.
I did work on this. On my PC, it does work using Ableton Live 11 DAW, but it must be set to listen to separate channels. There are setting that do not listen for separate channel. That was my problem. I also had that problem with Cubase. I will try to do a video, cheers.
Mine isn't showing the multiple ports and it's only the 4th gen. Think something is changed on ableton
I am away from home. I will get back to you soon.
Does it work with Reaper DAW?
Greetings! Oxygen25 is a USB MIDI Controller. It works with almost any DAW through the USB connection, cheers.
Hi
Can oxygen 25 mkv connect to Android phone?
Thank you
Greetings Nishlam! I have done this. The MIDI needs power. I used a powered USB hub. I did have problems with the Android app. There may be better apps available now, cheers.
@@cipstechitips1574 Thank you Cip's Techi Tips, cheers
Great video! I have a couple of questions. I just purchased the M-Audio Oxygen 25 (MKV) :.
1. Is there any way to change the sensitivity on the pads? When trying to tap out drum beats, I don't want to have to feel like I need to PUNCH the pads with a closed fist to get a decent volume. (Okay hyperbole alert) Seriously, is there a way to increase the sensitivity while still keeping it pressure sensitive so I can still affect volume with attack on the pads, only make it easier to get higher volume?
2. I had a HELLUVA time setting this up at first. I used Tracktion/Waveform Free on a Windows 11 PC. Long story short, I was able to get the DAW to see the Oxygen 25, and even add it as a MIDI device. But no sound. I finally tried to restart the PC and that worked. Should have done that first lol. My question is, why is it that every time I unplug the Oxygen 25 (MKV) and plug it back in, I get the same problem? Although, I don't have to keep restarting the PC. I have by trial and error figured out that just disabling the keyboard in Waveform's settings, then re-enabling them works. Is there any way to fix this? It's not a deal breaker, but it is annoying!
Thanks again, I am going to go finish watching your vid now! :)
Greetings ChiroVette! To change the velocity sensitivity of the Pads, go to 10:00 in the video. . Which ever you pressed last is adjusted: Keys or Pads. You can read about it on page 12 of the manual.
Intermittent problems are the worst and may vary from DAW to DAW. Not all software support "Hot Swap" . On some laptops USB port go to "sleep" and are reluctant to wake-up. Also, try the On/Off switch on the back of the MIDI.
Kind regards.
Hey man hows the oxygen treating ya? Im a complete beginner going to buy my first mini midi. Torn between this, the arturial minilab and novation launchkey 3.
Hello Sir!
Can you tell me if this keyboard is compatible with android devices?
Greetings JT.777! I cannot guarantee it will work but it should. The MIDI is USB compliant and "should" work. You will need a DAW app and a On-the-Go USB adapter. The MIDI draws power from the USB connection, so you may need a powered USB hub.
@@cipstechitips1574 Thank you so much Sir for your answer!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all the best wishes for you from Romania! 💙💛❤️
Nice video, thanks a lot! Unfortunately in my ableton and oxygen pro 25 the drumpad and the keys reacting on oxygen usb channel 1 only. Any hint?
Nvm. Had to change the channel on each pad to 10
Greeting Omg! I am not specifically sure if this is the same on the Pro, give this a try. Go to 9:04 in the video for changing the keybed channel. On the Oxy25 you can change the drum pads the same way. Remember the last thing you touch is what will be changed. Touch a drum pad several times. Press and hold "shift", press the last B note on the right "channel". It will display the current channel. Press the key repeatedly to select a different channel. Release all keys. Give it a go, Cheers.
@@Omg-vi7bm Great! Yes, that will work. Did you use the Oxygen MKV Preset Editor?
Does this need batterys?
Greetings Mr Mango Head! No batteries needed. It is powered by the USB cable from the PC, cheers.
@@cipstechitips1574 thank you
Cip, just a tip. You can save our time by not pointing out things like "It has 25 keys, white and black." Less talk, more rock, my friend.
Greetings Michael! Thank you for watching the video and thank you for your comment, cheers.
How do I setup oxygen 25 drum pads to control the Kong in Reason 5? Please and thank you
