M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61

A full-size 61-key enthusiast-tier controller whose draw is hands-on control: 16 pads, faders, and M-Audio's Smart Chord/Scale features for assisted composing. Good for producers who want a deep keybed plus physical mixer-style faders in one unit. Skip it if your rig is USB-C-only, since it runs on USB-B/A bus power.
