Notes: Compact all-in-one workstation for producers

The Reloop Keypad Pro raises the bar for mobile music production. The clever combination of a mini master keyboard, drum pads, a mixer unit, and digital audio workstation (DAW) controls provides an ideal all-in-one solution for project studios and mobile use.

Produce anytime, anywhere!

The compact DAW workstation is capable of running on either USB power or batteries, making it a perfect solution for mobile studios or live projects. Furthermore, the Keypad Pro also supports both wired (via USB) and wireless (via Bluetooth) connections to host computers and smart devices (via wireless MIDI).

Create harmonic compositions at the touch of a button

The built-in keyboard features 25 velocity-sensitive keys across nine playable octaves, so even the most complex musical ideas can be brought to life. The Keypad Pro also accommodates the needs of professional keyboard players thanks to its integrated pitch bend and modulation wheels. Other innovative features include an arpeggiator with a wide variety of patterns, a sustain, velocity quick selection for the keys, a chord function to simplify the playing of common chords, and a clever scale mode in which the right note is always played across four different modes, ensuring limitless creative compositions.

On the beat!

Sixteen velocity-sensitive drum pads provide maximum creative flexibility when composing beats, and can also be used for control or program change commands to activate specific effects or plugins. Impressive recording is further enhanced by aftertouch and RGB backlighting. The drum pad section can also be used to launch clips (play and stop) in a project session.

Record, mix and master

Eight full channel strips can be found in the sophisticated control section, together with dedicated line faders, an endless encoder (pan), two potentiometers (send/return), and three illuminated function buttons (Channel, Solo, Rec). With the Keypad Pro, you can conveniently control and monitor every aspect of the recording, mixing, and mastering processes without ever touching a mouse.

DAW master controls

The DAW master section on the Keypad Pro features important controls including dedicated buttons for transport control and the key recording functions (Play, Stop, Rec, Loop, Zoom, Automate, Metronome, Scene, Tap, Master Volume, Navigation encoder, Reset, CC/PC Mode, Perform Mode).

Versatile performance with OLED display

The Keypad Pro is an intuitive and flexible creative hub with four selectable performance scenes with LED indication, an OLED display for the real-time reference of parameters and settings, and a shift button for activating secondary functions.

Modern music production: plug & play with Bitwig Studio

The Keypad Pro is fully integrated into Bitwig Studio and works with the popular DAW via plug-and-play. Bitwig's lightning-fast workflow, with its large library of plugins and sounds, allow you to start producing immediately. The DAW workstation is also MIDI-compatible with all popular DAWs.

Practical connections to expand the setup

The producing workstation has a 6.3 mm jack connection for an external sustain pedal and a 3.5mm jack connection for MIDI out. Additional recording peripherals can be connected via the integrated passive USB hub (2x USB-A).

Comprehensive software package included

Includes a comprehensive software package of plugins and samples: Bitwig Studio 8-Track DAW recording software, Loopcloud Studio with 4 million royalty-free samples in all popular genres (access for two months), Excite Audio Lifeline Expanse Lite multi-effects plugin, Melodics (40 free lessons) and a three-months free Serato Studio license.

Complete with four premium instruments plus MASCHINE Essentials, A-Series keyboards come with everything you need to bring your ideas to life.

What's more, you can hear a preview of each sound as you browse, without loading individual instruments.

Need some serious low end? Use the encoders and OLED display to select SYNTH > BASS > SUB BASS, then listen through the presets and load up the right one for your track.

Pre-mapped and ready to play:

All of your KOMPLETE and NKS instruments and effects are pre-mapped to the KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware by the people who know them best - the instrument designers themselves. Essential parameters like envelope controls and filter cutoffs are instantly displayed on the OLED display as you touch the corresponding knob. That means you can see exactly what you're adjusting in real time - whether it's in kHz, dB, or BPM.

Perform creatively:

With Smart Play, you never need to worry about hitting a wrong note - just pick a scale and play. Activate chord mode to create a rich progression by playing single keys, then switch on the arpeggiator and turn it into an expressive musical performance. And for keyboard novices, Easy Mode maps the white keys to whichever scale you like.

Supplier's notes:

The Oxygen Pro 61 is a powerful, 61-key USB powered MIDI controller that allows you to create the music you want to make even easier! The new Oxygen Pro controllers open up worlds of expression and creativity and make bringing your production ideas to life more seamless than ever. Taking feedback from users and artists alike, these controllers are the ultimate studio and live performance tools, allowing you to keep your focus on creating music- not programming your software. It doesn't matter if you want to create music on the go or in the studio, the M-Audio Oxygen Pro series is perfectly flexible for your workflow.

It's simple to use the Oxygen Pro 61 controller with any DAW with the Oxygen Pro 61's automatically mapped controls such as Transport, Faders, Channel controls (Record Arm, Solo, Mute, and Select), Pan controls and more. Whether you use Ableton, Pro Tools, MPC Beats, Cubase, Logic, Studio One or any other major DAW, just select your DAW in the Oxygen Pro 61 and select the correct configuration in your DAW, and the Oxygen Pro 61's controls will be completely integrated into your DAW! It also instantly maps to all the virtual instruments included with the Oxygen Pro 61 (Velvet, Mini Grand, Vacuum, Boom, DB33, Xpand!2). These world-class Air Music Tech plugins can be fully controlled by the Oxygen Pro 61 and used in real-time as you create and mix your music.

With Smart Chord and Smart Scale technology, creating music and transferring what's in your imagination to what you hear coming out of your computer has never been easier!

With Smart Chord activated, pressing a single key or pad will play a full chord rather than just one note. The key or pad you press will determine the root note in the chord. The rest of the chord's properties (Major, Minor, and Voicing - 1,3,5; 1,3,7; 1,3,5,7, etc.) are determined by the settings you choose. Smart Chord also has a Custom Mode which lets you to determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key by manually playing it. For example, if you select Custom Mode, and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every key will then be assigned to play this chord structure. The note of the key you press will serve as the root of the chord and all of the parameters can be edited right on the Oxygen Pro 61!

The Oxygen Pro 61 also features intelligent Smart Scale technology. With Smart Scale, you can set the key bed so that only notes in the selected scale are able to be played. This allows you to play within a chosen scale without the risk of playing any "wrong" notes. You can choose from 16 different scale variations when assigning a scale to the keyboard. Smart Scale is easy to activate and deactivate and allows you to set the scale parameters you need to keep you focused on creating.

Built into the Oxygen Pro 61 are features that are essential to creating modern day pop, electronic, hip hop, and dance music. Note Repeat and the built-in Arpeggiator open up a world of precise music production and live sound techniques to make your music sound professional.

Note Repeat allows you to hold down any of the custom-made M-Audio performance pads and you'll hear a repeated rhythmic pattern at a selectable note division. The Note Repeat feature can be activated momentarily or can be used in Latch mode. If you choose Momentary, holding the Note Repeat button will make the note played by the pad automatically repeat. If you choose Latch, pressing any pad will cause its assigned note to repeat without you having to hold down the Note Repeat button.

The built-in Arpeggiator will affect anything you are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW. When the Arpeggiator is activated, the keyboard will repeatedly play the pressed keys in sequence. The arpeggiator's timing and rhythm is based on the keyboard's time division setting and either the keyboard's or your DAW's tempo setting. Each note in the arpeggio will be the length you've selected for the time division setting; for example, if you select 1/4, each note in the arpeggio will be a quarter note. This powerful tool can operate in Latch or Momentary mode, making it easy to unleash your creativity.
