I've only used my Pro 49 with MPC Beats, which required some mapping (the factory preset in MPC Beats didn't work, and this was not caused by the Pro 49), so I can't commend yet on it's compatibility/use with other DAWs.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

Getting DAW control going relies on configuring the software of your choice to communicate with some or all of the Oxygen Pro’s four virtual USB MIDI ports. This was my setup for Ableton Live: I found I further had to enable some of the Sync options (not documented in M‑Audio’s walkthroughs) to get the arpeggiator to sync to Live’s tempo.M‑Audio bandy around the term ‘auto‑mapped’ quite a bit in their blurb, but it’s more accurate to say that the roles of the hardware sliders, buttons and knobs for each DAW are pre‑mapped, and the underlying configurations saved like presets into the Oxygen Pro’s internal memory. There’s nothing like the complexity of Novation’s old Automap system (or indeed M‑Audio’s now‑defunct HyperControl), which promised tight two‑way communication between DAW and controller via all sorts of additional software and/or ‘wrapped’ plug‑ins: a great shame, or a blessed relief, depending on your expectations and aspirations. The pads feature Note Repeat which is great for music production. As an example, using Note Repeat on hi-hats will give you a constant rhythm when the pad is held down depending on your time scale. This is great for both music production and live performances, allowing you to create rhythmic patterns without having to constantly tap the pads.assignable knobs & buttons for controlling virtual instruments, effect plugins, DAW controls and more Connect to Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic, Studio One and more, then just select the map and Auto-Mapping will have you set up in no time.

Delve into worlds of unchartered expression and creativity,

A well-built, well-designed keyboard that’s great with Ableton Live, but handy for hardware control too. Note: Keep in mind that this code will license Hybrid, Mini Grand, and Velvet so you only need to redeem it once in iLok to authorize all of your AIR plugins. Aftertouch, giving users added expression and control to affect the sound of a virtual instrument plugin by continuously DirectLink automatically maps controls to popular DAWs: Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and more The Oxygen Pro series comes with 3 AIR plugins that can be installed directly from the M-Audio Software Manager. These virtual instruments are a great way to expand your melodic ideas.Under the umbrella of the Preset system, individual sliders and knobs can be programmed to transmit any MIDI CC number, with a constrained (or inverted) value range if you like, on their own MIDI channels. At the same time buttons and pads can flexibly transmit CC or MIDI program messages, or MIDI notes, and you can choose your own pad colours. The programming system is quite intuitive and clear too, if rather menu‑divey. Less obviously, the keyboard can be split into up to four zones with independent octave and semitone transposition, MIDI channel, and bank/program recall. There’s even an option to constrain the range of aftertouch values, and confine aftertouch to individual MIDI channels or zones. That’s some really useful sophistication.
