Even though the faders are justifiably short-throw, they are still equally useful for controlling DAW mixer faders and synth parameters. The faders and knobs balance smoothness with enough resistance to allow accurate parameter setting. The eight backlit pads can take a proper finger-drum pummelling but still react to a relatively light touch for fills, rolls and chord builds. Playing percussive instruments, from drums to synth stabs and clavinets, is where this kind of keybed come into its own, as opposed to weighted types, and the Oxygen 61 serves these playing needs well. Still, they produce a reliably sensitive response for what they are, and there are a few sensitivity ranges to choose from depending on the application.
The light, non-weighted plastic keys may not be the first choice for an exquisite piano experience. In playĪs a collection of keys, faders, knobs and pads, the playability of the Oxygen 61 is fundamental.

The third device listed is the Editor, which integrates with the preset editor software allowing you to change controller assignments, manage/archive presets and change global settings. Second is the DAW section, which includes the transport controls and the controllers when the keyboard is switched to DAW mode, which requires pressing the DAW/Preset button. the keys, pads, mod/pitch wheels and controllers. Once plugged in, the MKV 61 shows up as three USB MIDI devices. The I/O is minimal with just USB 2.0 and sustain pedal sockets. The main updates are in DAW integration and new operations: Smart Chord/Scale and Arpeggiator. There are some cosmetic changes from the MK IV predecessor, from the pad backlight colour to the rotary knob style, but the light yet robust build remains, as does most of the layout and the three-character LED display. The next model down, the 49-key version, is identical in all but octaves, whereas the 25-key model forgoes eight of the nine faders. The Oxygen MKV 61, reviewed here, is the largest in the MKV (mark five) range.
