M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61

With this 61 keys controller you get velocity sensitive semi-weighted keys, aftertouch, smart chord and scale mode, split zone and DAW integration with all major DAW software including FL Studio. On top of that you get tons of software and other goodies to get you started learning, producing and playing music.
The build quality is good and everything is laid down nicely. The ergonomic distribution of sliders and buttons is spot on. The keys are nice and responsive.
There are only two cons:
One is that the sliders and buttons are not quite precise but they do work smoothly and in 0-127 range. The other is that the keys have no RGB lights for smart chords and scale feature. Its not a big deal but it would be nice to actually see them.
Overall this is a quality build and budget friendly controller with aftertouch and as such well worth the price in my hones opinion.

I have been wanting to buy this exact keyboard, but the stocks in India kept getting sold out when I wanted to buy this. Thomann gave me my best shot to buy this and the what can I say about this keyboard! Its perfect for my use cases. I use FL Studio and the keyboard has a preset for FL studio, thought some buttons didn't work in the beginning, once they are set as a preset, everything "just works". Again, I love it!

Few things you might want to consider before buying it:
1. Keybed feel: If you want the best keybed feel in this range, this keyboard may not be there, however, the keyboard has aftertouch, that no other company gives at this price range. Still if you want the best keybed feel, I'd suggest save some more money and go for the Hammer 88 by M-Audio.
2. No Infinte knobs: The knobs are not infinite rotating, but its not a game breaker, the workflow and performance delivered surpasses this con.
3. Clicky-Clacky buttons: The buttons present on this keyboard are made with plastic and make clicky sound when pressed. Again, its not a game breaker compared to the feature, but if it will really disturb you or anyone else nearby. I'll suggest Arturia Keylab 61 Essentials.

Other options in this range:
1. Arturia KeyLab 61 Essential
2. Native Instrument Komplete Kontrol A61
3. Novation Impulse 61
4. Novation Launchkey 61 Mk3

If you don't mind the cons I mentioned above, this keyboard is perfect for you. Go for it!

The keyboard itself is quite nice, pleasant to play. The feature set is good for this price point. Having sliders, pots, pads and transport controls in reach means less reaching for mouse and (computer) keyboard. Overall the device feels fairly robust. DAW support is good, with a large number of options supported. Software is basic, but provides what you need.

Some reviews state the action is quite heavy, but keyboard and pad sensitivity can be tuned in the preset editor software.

Octave, transport, settings, and other buttons are quite "clicky" and don't feel like they'll last as long as the keyboard. I hope I'm wrong. I prefer Novation's soft-touch controls for transport etc. That said, buttons are responsive and I have not had any mis-clicks.

There is a "Vegas mode" style sleep mode which cannot be disabled - as I understand it, sleep mode includes a screensaver to prevent burn-in on the OLED screen, so cannot be turned off. Depending on your setting, this may not be appropriate - this mode is heavy on flashing lights.

An annoyance is, when the device returns from sleep mode, it may not return to the same state it was in before (depending on the mode you use - I think this will not effect DAW mode at all). In my case, I use a custom preset and enable "MIDI" mode. The device leaves "MIDI" mode when sleep mode is stopped. Re-enabling this mode is a single button press, so this is not enough to warrant a return, but I think it needs mentioning. I contacted M-Audio about this, and they have logged the issue, so hopefully a future firmware update remedies it.

You will struggle to find better at this price-point. I am happy with the keyboard and plan to get many years of use from it.

I recently ordered the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 keyboard through Thomann, and I want to express my gratitude to the entire team for their excellent service. The delivery to Israel was incredibly fast and flawless. The product arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged, and ready to use.
