M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini Reviews

Great and small..!

Great for small home studios, multiple deployability, solidly built

Great at this price

My first MIDI, looks cool, works great.

Heel praktisch mini keyboard met 8 drumpads

Stevige solide bouwkwaliteit, heel mooi compact formaat en een mooi scherp OLED display. Aanslaggevoeligheid is niet helemaal perfect, maar daar zijn immers zwaardere toetsen voor nodig.

De 8 drumpads (met bank A en B toets = 16) is super praktisch om snelle beats neer te zetten.

Ik ben heel tevreden !

Amazing Price and Performance

I got this keyboard to use on the go and I am very satisfied cuz it can be carried easily.

Best Mini Controller for Beat Makers

Bulit quality - amazing

Small and compact but very usefull

I first bought some midi keyboards that had 25 keys. But that didn't make sense to me. You can't really use both your hands then. This is the perfect solution for me to have a compact midi controller that I still can play with both my hands in different keys. Why are there not more 32 key keyboards out there.

one of the better smaller midi controllers i tried

the knobs feel good, so do the keys (for mini keys they're A-OK), it has plenty of templates for most DAWs and can't be beat for the price! I prefer this over the smaller 25 key controllers because this one has just enough keys for extended chords.

Awesome tiny controller

I've had a hard choice between bigger "brother" (49/61 Oxygens), however decided to pick this one as it's indeed compact and portable, so one can creatively create music on the fly :). Of course knobs, buttons...bells and whistles are always welcome (the more the better), however this keyboard wouldn't be compact in the end. Considering all the reviews done before, I would really recommend this one.

As for me, keybed does look sturdy. The keys sometimes need more "press" to trigger the effect bound to the key (on the keybed), but I guess for this type of the keyboard it's quite ok. Especially since it's not hammer action keyboard.

Overall impression - it's good, compact, sturdy and functional for the keyboard of that style/size.

Brilliant keyboard

My primary concern when I bought this was about the size of the keys, worrying that they may impact playability. However, even for me (with big hands) it plays perfectly and the keys feel fantastic. It is jam-packed with features - including a digital electric piano, synth and grand piano - which can be used even without a DAW. They are all brilliant virtual instruments worth about £100 each (nice bargain). It is light, portable and relatively easy to set up (I recommend YouTube for this though) and overall just a great MIDI keyboard.

High quality product

The product is of high quality, looks very decent and pleasant to the touch. There are small gaps at the keys, but they are not critical

Very compact and feature packed

I was pleasantly surprised by this midi controller. It is very compact and still has all the basic functionally you could expect. I am using it most of the time with my iPad, and the preset for Cubase got me everything working with zero config (faders, pan, transport controls, back/forward/repeat, selecting tracks, arming/muting them). The pads are good enough for a portable midi controller, and the note repeat can be configured and used easily enough.

It has arp/chord mode, and while I tested it and it works fine I don't really care for it so no much to say on this.

On a negative side, the daw controls are very "clicky" so if you want a silent operation this is not it. It doesn't bother me though. Also the keybed could be better, but for this size (and price) you are not really looking for premium feel anyway and it is on par or better than the competitors.

Small and deadly

I needed something for on the go that was really versatile and usable in any situation. This is the answer. It’s small, but not too small! The mini keys take some getting used to, but they’re good quality. Everything is great on this!

ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED IN ONE PLACE!!!

so small and so powerful.

from the control point of view, it's absolutely an amazing keyboard.

from the keyboard point of view, it's a good quality build yet the keys themself quiet plasticky

bottom line: it MUST HAVE!

Bang for the buck

After having used it for a couple of weeks the oxygen pro feels pretty good.

It has a solid build, hard plastic and it is easy to carry around and take anywhere.

As for the keys they take some time to get used to, but for the price and other features, their quality not being the best is to be expected.

Drum pads feel good to play around with. Both the keys and drums might need adjusting with their velocity.

Overall as it says in the title bang for the buck

very good

i like it and its verry good for its size
