Installing Your Included Software
We've included MPC Beats, Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition, and Ableton Live Lite with Oxygen Pro 25
so you can get started making music with professional software right out of the box. Additionally, we've
included a set of Expansion Packs and AIR virtual instrument plugins for you to use with your DAW.
To download the included MPC Beats, Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition, or Ableton Live Lite
software, register your Oxygen Pro 25 on m-audio.com and follow the installation instructions in your User
Account. If you will be using Ableton Live Lite, we recommend visiting ableton.com to check for any
available software updates. For help configuring either DAW with Oxygen Pro 25, see

To download the included AIR virtual instrument plugins, follow the instructions on the software
download card in the box. After installation, most DAWs will not load virtual instrument plugins
automatically; you may need to manually choose a plug-in folder for your software to scan. The plugin
folders for Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition and Ableton Live Lite depend on your operating system, as
