Oxygen (MKIV) Series DirectLink

DirectLink Mode on the Oxygen (MKIV) Series is an exclusive technology found in M-Audio keyboards. Simply put, DirectLink automatically maps the keyboard’s various faders, knobs, and transport buttons to software controls in DirectLink-compatible DAWs, providing intuitive, hands-on control over your sessions.

With the Oxygen (MKIV) series, DirectLink gives you easy hands-on control over your mix without any user configuration.

• Knobs are automatically mapped to pan or device controls
• Transport buttons map to your DAW transport
• Sliders (49-, 61-key models) map to your DAW mixer faders
