VIP 3.0 is now available for the first time ever as a no-charge complimentary upgrade to owners of the Akai MPK2 & MPK Mini Series, M-Audio Code & Oxygen MKIV Series and M-Audio Axiom AIR Mini 32.
Now artists can seamlessly custom map the controls of their MIDI controller (knobs, encoders, faders, buttons) to VIP's parameters, for effortless integration and the enhanced workflow, attributes that owners of the award-winning Akai Professional Advance Series, M-Audio's CTRL49 and the Alesis VX49 have long enjoyed. With VIP3.0, users can drastically enhance the creative capability of any standard MIDI over USB controller thanks to all-new MIDI Learn functionality. Twist, an acclaimed spectral-morphing software synthesizer from SONiVOX, creates swirling sonic textures that come to life with inspiring depth and motion. This keyboard comes with a powerful software package for creating music right away, starting with Ableton Live Lite - a dynamic music creation software, that lets musicians develop songs with extensive MIDI and audio processing tools. A 6.3mm (1/4-inch) sustain input jack is built in for expressive performances. The Oxygen 61 provides 9 total faders for virtually limitless MIDI manipulation, in addition to an LCD screen and transport controls for seamless operation with digital audio software.
Control capabilities expand with 8 assignable knobs - perfect for tinkering with plugin parameters. The pads can be used for launching samples, triggering percussion sounds and more, and also provide velocity-sensitive response and illuminated feedback. The Oxygen series combines a velocity-sensitive key bed with a series of 8 trigger pads.
