Your Ozonic package contains the following: < < < < < < Ozonic audio/MIDI interface CD-ROM containing Driver Software and User Manual in PDF format Printed QuickStart Guide CD-ROM containing Reason Adapted Express software 1 meter 6-pin to 6-pin IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable 12VDC 1000mA power supply

About the Ozonic

A single IEEE 1394 cable connects the Ozonic to your computers FireWire port. If your PC is not equipped with a native FireWire port, you may purchase a FireWire PCI card at any computer electronics retailer. Check M-Audios Support Knowledge Base on the M-Audio website (http://www.m-audio.com) for information on compatible IEEE 1394/FireWire PCI adaptors. IMPORTANT: The Ozonic comes with a high quality six-pin to six-pin FireWire cable. We strongly suggest that you use this cable, or one of equal quality, for optimum audio performance. Your computer is equipped with either a six-pin or a four-pin interface, while the connector on the Ozonic is six-pin. The Ozonic requires a powered six-pin FireWire connection in order to receive bus power; if your computer has a four-pin connection or a 6-pin connection that does not provide power, you will need to use the supplied power adapter with an adapter cable. (Note: Some computer manufacturers may use a different nomenclature to refer to their FireWire connections, such as Sonys iLink, or simply 1394 when in doubt, consult the owners manual for your computer.) IMPORTANT: Reports have come to our attention of isolated problems when hot-plugging IEEE 1394 (a.k.a. FireWire) devices. (Hot-plugging refers to making 1394/FireWire connections when one or more of the devicesincluding the computeris on.) When hot-plugging, there are rare occurrences where either the FireWire peripheral or the FireWire port on the host computer is rendered permanently inoperable. While M-Audio products adhere rigidly to the FireWire industry standard and pass stringent internal testing, the possibility remains that hot-plugging your M-Audio FireWire interface with some computers may result in the type of problem described here. We strongly encourage you to protect your equipment by refraining from hot-plugging any bus-powered FireWire device, including the M-Audio Ozonic. Connect your FireWire device while both the computer and FireWire device are powered off. Power on the FireWire device, then turn the computer on last. If you are using bus power (systems with IEEE1394 6-pin connectors) make sure you make the cable connection rst, then turn the FireWire device power switch on, and turn the computer system on last. M-Audio is being proactive in investigating any issues that may adversely affect our customers. Please consult the Knowledge Base in the Support section at www.m-audio.com for updates on this important issue.

Ozonic Overview

The Ozonic is a 37-note MIDI keyboard and a 24-bit/96kHz audio interface equipped with four inputs: one XLR that fully supports phantompowered microphones, one unbalanced 1/4 instrument jack, and two unbalanced 1/4 TS jacks. There are four analog outputs, two on 1/4 TRS (balanced) and two on 1/4 TS (unbalanced) jacks. There is a stereo headphone output and MIDI in/out ports. All of these options make the Ozonic a perfect integrated choice for performance or studio environments in a computer music set up. The Ozonics easy-to-use software Control Panel provides you with powerful routing and mixing control. You can route any combination of input pairs to any of the analog output pairs. This will give you complete control over the software returns from the computer host or the hardware direct monitoring streams. You can take advantage of ultra-low latency software monitoring with built-in ASIO drivers, and nearzero latency hardware direct monitoring. With the Ozonic Headphone Stream Select function you can select which output pair you want to monitor, allowing you to pre-listen to an audio stream before it goes live. The Ozonic also has hardware level controls for each output pair, allowing for real time mixing of the different audio streams, including Direct Monitoring.

Back Panel Descriptions Mic Input: This connection will accept a low-impedance microphone connected on a standard three-pin balanced XLR. The microphone input supports the standard 48V phantom power used in professional condenser microphones. 2. Instrument Input: This connection allows you to plug in an instrument, such as a guitar, bass. The input is balanced, and supports unbalanced (TS) jacks. 3. Line Inputs: These two connections allow for line-level inputs, such as those from a CD or tape player. You can use them for two separate mono devices or a single stereo unit. 4. Headphone Output: The Headphone Output is rated to accept headphones in a broad range of impedancesbetween 32 and 600 ohms. 5. Line Outputs: The rst two line outputs are balanced (TRS) while the third and fourth line outputs are unbalanced (TS). 6. Phantom Power: This switch allows you to turn phantom power on and off on the microphone input (see number 1, above). 7. MIDI Input and Output: These are standard 5-Pin DIN MIDI In and Out jacks. 8. FireWire Port: The FireWire (IEEE 1394) port allows you to connect to your computer. We recommend connecting the Ozonic at the end of any chain of FireWire devices and connecting only self-powered devices to the input. 9. DC Power Supply Port: Connect the 12VDC 1000mA power supply to this jack when using the Ozonic with a four-pin FireWire connection. Use only the power supply provided with the unit or a power supply of equivalent quality with a positive center pin. 10. On/Off Switch: Powers the Ozonic on and off. 11. Kensington Lock Hole: This connector is compatible with Kensington security cables to protect your device from theft. 12. Sustain /Expression Pedals 1.

Driver Installation

Windows XP
NOTE: Do NOT connect the Ozonic to your computer before you have run the installer application and shut down your computer. If you are going to use bus power (systems with IEEE1394 6-pin connectors) make sure you make the cable connection rst, then turn the FireWire device power switch on, and turn the computer system on last. For the Ozonic to function properly, you need to have installed Service Pack 1 or higher if using Windows XP. To install a Service Pack, please consult http://www.microsoft.com for instructions.

The Software Control Panel
Ozonics driver software installation includes a Control Panela simple yet powerful interface with your computer and Digital Audio Workstation software. The Control Panel gives you a software mixer with 4 virtual outputs from your audio software, and 4 input channels from the Ozonics hardware inputs. Each mixer channel input pair may be routed to any of the Ozonics analog outputs. The Ozonic Control Panel is installed in your system after you have completed the driver installation procedure. To open the Control Panel: In Windows A tiny icon in the shape of a knob will be placed in the system tray, generally located at the bottom of your Windows desktop. Double click this icon to open the Control Panel. On the Mac The Ozonic Control Panel can be found in System Preferences. In OS X, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > M-Audio FireWire. In either Windows or on the Mac, the Ozonic Control Panel can also be opened from an ASIO-compliant music programs audio setup page (ASIO not applicable to Mac OS X). The Ozonic Control Panel gives you a great deal of control, and you may nd that the default settings are sufcient for your needs. Depending on how you record, you may never have to make an adjustment to these settings. But in the event that you want to customize your settings, the following section explains the Control Panel in great detail.

Global Menus

The following Control Panel features are available on all pages of the Control Panel: < Mixer Settings The reset button returns the Control Panel settings to their default values. The Default Values for the Ozonic Control Panel are listed at the end of this section. The load, save and delete buttons will open a Windows or Mac le dialog box. To save a set of Control Panel settings, click the save button. Then, from the Save dialog box, name the setting and click OK. After you have saved a set of Control Panel settings, clicking the load button will allow you to select and load your saved settings. To delete saved settings, click the delete button and select the setting that you wish to delete.

Mixer Page

The mixer page provides output routing and control of the Ozonics analog inputs and software returns. There are up to four virtual channels returning from your Digital Audio Workstation software.
< Software Returns The mixer page provides up to four virtual audio returns from your audio application, displayed in channel pairs. These returns will appear in your audio programs output assignment and mixer settings as available audio outputs. It is likely that you will control the software output monitor levels from your audio programs mixer, and will want to keep the Control Panel mixer faders at their maximum level. However, you may nd it convenient to adjust them here, if, for example, you are setting up a balance between input levels and sw rtn levels. In order to route these channels, select the appropriate button in the Channel Strip (either 1/2, for Output pair 1 and 2 or 3/4, for Outputs 3 and 4). By default, software returns 1 and 2 are routed to Output pair 1 and 2; software returns 3 and 4 are routed to Output pair 3 and 4.
< Hardware Inputs The mixer page also provides software level control for direct monitoring of Ozonics analog inputs. These pairs are labeled 1/2 in and 3/4 in. The software routing of the hardware inputs is the same process as for the software returns. Press 1/2 or 3/4 or both to select routing options. When you press one of the software buttons it will light, meaning that the audio signal is being routed to that pair of outputs.
< Output Routing Software returns 1-4 may be assigned to any of the Ozonics analog outputs by clicking the output button of the desired output pair. These are labeled 1/2 and 3/4. All analog output pairs may be selected (the buttons turn blue when active) for each mixer input channel pair. If multiple mixer channels are assigned to the same output pair, the signals will be summed at the assigned output. Note that clipping of summed signals is possible, so keep an eye on your output level meters when summing mixer channels. < Stereo Linking Both software return channels are controlled by software faders; pairs can be linked for stereo operation by clicking the channels link button. The buttons turn blue when active. Once the channels are linked, grabbing and moving one fader will move both faders in unison. < Mute Button - Selecting the mute button (the button turns red) will cause that channel pair to cease audio output. Deselecting the mute button will resume audio output on that channel pair. < Solo Button Selecting the solo button (the button turns yellow) will cause all other channels to cease audio output. Deselecting the solo button will resume audio output on all channels. Multiple solo selections are possible. < Panning - The input channel pairs also offer virtual pan pots. As with any typical mixer, the pan works in conjunction with the Output Routing assign buttons to enable you to route the signal as you wish.

Hardware Page

The hardware page gives you access to important information about the functions of Ozonic.
The hardware page design and function will vary slightly, depending on your platform and operating system. Shown below is the hardware page from a Windows installation. < Sample Rate Detected This eld displays the detected sample rate that is being received. Ozonic will detect and display the sampling rate as set by your audio software or your computers operating system via the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) bus. < ASIO/WDM Buffer Size This eld allows you to select the buffer size you wish to work with. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs), but may not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting is 256. This setting may adequately serve your purposes, but you can experiment with lower settings if you wish. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your audio playback, try using a larger buffer size. NOTE: This section does not apply to Mac OS X, and will not appear if you are running that operating system. Mac OS X does not support ASIO (or WDM).

< Assigning an Individual MIDI Channel Select the controller you want to edit using one of the two methods described earlier. Press the EDIT button, then the CHAN ASGN key. The LCD will show the current channel assignment of the selected controller, preceded by a c. Type the MIDI channel number (0-19) you want the controller to send to, using the numerical data entry keys. Press the ENTER key to conrm.
If the controller is assigned to channel 0, it will transmit on the Global Channel. Information about the Global Channel is given in the Basic Operations of the Ozonics MIDI Interface section. Channels 17-19 are used to dene Zone Channels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. If a controller is assigned to channels 17-19, it will always transmit on whichever channel the appropriate Zone is assigned to. For more information on a Zones channel, please see the Advanced Programming Functions section. < Group A Controllers Note: For information on Group A memory recall, please review the next section. A Group A controller refers to any controller that can have a different MIDI CC assignment for each Zone. On your Ozonic, such controllers include the Pitch Bend wheel, Modulation wheel, Aftertouch strip and the pedals. Although the Transport buttons belong to group A, they are not considered a Group A controller. In order for the Group A controller to transmit on all Zones, the channel assignment must be set to 0. If a Group A controller is assigned to any channel other than 0, it will use the relevant Zone channel for output.

MIDI Messages Explained

< Program & Bank Changes The original GM MIDI specication allowed for only 128 voices, numbered from 0-127. It is possible to access a different voice by sending a Program Change. In order to expand on the GM set of voices, Bank Changes were devised. Each bank contains 128 patches that can be accessed using a Program Change. 16,384 available banks can be accessed by sending a 14-bit Bank Change message. The rst 7 bits of this message are sent in a single byte known as the Bank LSB. The last 7 bits are specied by another byte known as the Bank MSB. The BANK LSB is used most commonly. This allows for 128 Bank Changes, and often there is no need to send a Bank MSB. Almost all MIDI devices respond to the Program Change, but some that do not conform to the GM set of voices use the Program Change message for other purposes. Many VST instruments have adopted this approach, allowing the use of a Program Change to change the instrument patch. (The FM7 by Native Instruments is an example of this.) Bank Changes are used more rarely. Bank Changes are useful in manufacturers extensions to the MIDI specication, such as Rolands GS specication and Yamahas XG specication. Both of these require the specication of a Bank Change in order to access the extra voices and effects that these specications provide. Sending Program, Bank LSB and Bank MSB data is done by pressing the EDIT button followed by the PROGRAM, Bank LSB or Bank MSB key, and then entering the Program or Bank Change desired. < RPN/NRPNs Non-registered parameter numbers (NRPNs) are device-specic messages that enable the control of synths via MIDI. The MIDI specication denes parameter numbers to allow manufacturers to specify their own controllers. The more common of these have been registered by the MIDI Manufacturers Association and are part of the MIDI specication (hence the term Registered Parameter Numbers RPNs). (See Appendix F for additional information.) MIDI controllers 98 and 99 represent the NRPN LSB and MSB respectively, while 100 and 101 represent the RPN LSB and MSB. This can be seen in the MIDI controllers list in Appendix E. To transmit an NRPN/RPN, these two controller messages are sent along with their user-specied values. An additional controller message and value needs to be sent to specify the (coarse or ne) value adjustment. This is specied by controller number 6 (Data Entry) for coarse adjustments or number 38 for ne adjustments. Devices that receive NRPN messages will list NRPNs in the User Manual. It is essential that the NRPN MSB and LSB messages are sent together. Both will be specied in the devices manual, but typically only in Hexadecimal format. If this is the case, you may refer to Appendix C for help translating the value to decimal. < SysEx System Exclusive (SysEx) messages were dened in the MIDI specication to allow control of individual devices via MIDI. The format of SysEx messages allows virtually any function to be performed via MIDI if the receiving device can read and translate the message. This allows devices to send audio sample memory data, memory dumps, controller settings, and much more. It also allows the controllers of one device to be controlled by another. It is not possible to program your own specied SysEx message into the Ozonic. However, several useful SysEx messages are pre-programmed into the keyboard. They can be accessed by assigning the appropriate MIDI CC to a controller (see Appendix B). A SysEx message is not transmitted on any specied channel. All SysEx messages contain a Device ID, which is used to single out devices to respond to the SysEx message. All other devices are ignored. If you are using a SysEx message on the Ozonic, the Global Channel is ignored. When you press the Channel Assign key, you will enter a Device ID instead. This is indicated by the fact that the LED displays a 3-digit number, not a 2-digit number proceeded by a c. Device IDs run from 00 to 127. 127 is the default device number setting on the Ozonic. This setting transmits the SysEx message to all devices. It is not possible to program the controllers of the Ozonic with your own SysEx messages, there are software applications that can receive a MIDI input signal and transmit a different, user-specied message. You can program your SysEx messages into the translator software, and then translate the incoming data from the keyboard to your SysEx, depending on the controller you are using.

Troubleshooting

The Ozonic has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range of systems and operating conditions. However, there are a virtually limitless number of operating scenarios, any of which could affect your systems performance. Though this section cannot cover all possible issues you may encounter, we would like to offer you some suggestions for dealing with common problems. We recommend that you avoid connecting too many devices. The FireWire bus is a dependable, high-speed, high-bandwidth protocol that is ideally suited for digital audio. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that audio and multimedia streaming places considerable demands on your processor and the FireWire bus. Although it is theoretically possible to chain multiple FireWire devices in series, doing so has the potential to degrade your audio performance. Generally, FireWire devices do not suffer from the IRQ conicts often encountered with PCI cards on Windows PCs. If you are having trouble getting audio in or out of your Ozonic, please check the following: If you have no sound: < Check to see if the Ozonic drivers are properly installed. In Windows XP, go to the Control Panel and double-click the System icon (under Performance and Maintenance if you are in Category view). Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button. Click the plus sign (+) next to Sound, Video and Game Controllers, and locate the Ozonic listing. If you see a question mark or exclamation point next to it, or if you dont see it listed, you may need to reinstall the driver software. < Make sure your audio software has been set up to use the Ozonic. Open your applications audio settings page and check to see if the Ozonics ASIO, WDM, or CoreAudio drivers have been selected. < If youre certain the Ozonic is correctly installed and congured for your audio software, check your signal path. Make sure your inputs are routed correctly by verifying that your application is receiving the audio signal. Make sure your outputs are routed correctly so that your signal is sent to your headphones, amp and/or monitors. < Check your audio connections and cables to make sure everything is plugged in correctly. < Check to make sure the Power button is enabled. If you are experiencing clicks and pops in your recordings: < Make sure your input levels are not too hot, as this can cause distortion and clipping. Check the input level meters in your audio application. < You might want to try using a larger buffer size. Larger buffer sizes can increase input latency time, but if youre mixing, for example, this is not an issue. Increasing the buffer size can be helpful, particularly in the case of older or lower-powered systems. < If you have daisy-chained other FireWire devices, try using the Ozonic without them to see if this works better. The noise might be due to a low power situation on the bus, or a bus-master conict. My M-Audio keyboard suddenly stopped working after having performed ne since installation. < Switch off the unit and leave for 10 seconds. Then restart your computer and try again. If the problem persists you may have to reinstall drivers for the unit. My drivers are listed in the Device Manager and are said to be working OK, but the keyboard is not recognized in any software. < Win2000 and XP have a limitation to how many MIDI device drivers you can have installed at any one time. There is no indication that you are using the maximum number of drivers the drivers will install as if there is not a problem. < To x this problem: Go to http://www.m-audio.com and locate the above question. You will nd a link to an exe le that will solve this problem for you. I have plugged in a sustain pedal to my M-Audio keyboard, but it works the wrong way round. < The polarity of the sustain pedal is calculated by the keyboard when it is powered up. On power up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the OFF position. So, if you want the sustain pedal to be off when it is un-pressed, make sure the pedal is un-pressed when you power up. When I press a key, there is a delay before I hear any sound. < This delay is known as latency. Latency with MIDI signals is due to the soft-synth you are using. MIDI data is simply control data. The MIDI is read by the soft-synth. The soft-synth then completes a large number of complex calculations, in order to produce the sound you hear. All this takes time. If you already have an adequate sound card, try re-installing the latest drivers for the sound card, or try reducing the buffer sizes of the audio drivers. < If you feel that you may need a new or upgraded sound card please visit www.m-audio.com.

Macintosh Driver Installation If you are using OS 9, you must first install Opcodes OMS. OMS is a MIDI manager program that is made by Opcode and is required to run the M-Audio Ozone on the Macintosh in OS 9. OMS is available on the MAudio Ozone drivers page of our website, or can be installed from the Driver CD.
Note: It is important that you install OMS before running the M-Audio Ozone Installer.
OMS Installation To install OMS from the driver CD, locate the OMS 2.3.8 folder on this CD, find the OMS installer program in the folder, and double click on its icon to begin installation. Once this process completed successfully, you can move on to the M-Audio Ozone Installer. M-Audio Ozone Driver Installation The current release version of the M-Audio Ozone driver requires Macintosh operating system OS 9.2.2 or higher. Some updates are offered free to Apple owners. Please check the Apple website at http://www.info.apple.com for update information. First-time installation: If you power up your Mac with the M-Audio Ozone attached and powered up, you will receive a message that an unknown USB device has been detected. Click OK, and proceed with the driver installation.You may also install the drivers first, and then plug in the M-Audio Ozone. ASIO Driver Installation Most modern music recording software programs use an audio driver standard called ASIO. If your music program uses ASIO, you should take advantage of this low-latency audio driver by installing the ASIO driver. If youre unsure, check your music programs documentation to see if it is ASIO compliant. After installation of the M-Audio Ozone drivers in either OS 9 or OS X, you must copy the M-Audio Ozones ASIO driver directly into your music programs ASIO folder.

1. In the Opcode folder, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS Applications folder, then OMS Setup. Double click on OMS Setup. 2. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK. 3. The Create a New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK. (If this is not the first time you have created a Studio Setup in OMS, you will have to go to the OMS File Menu and select Create a New Studio Setup).
4. The OMS Driver Search box asks you to choose the port on which youve attached the M-Audio Ozone (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port (since were using USB), just click Search. OMS begins searching.
IMPORTANT: If the USB cable is not correctly hooked up to the M-Audio Ozone, setup will fail.
5. OMS Driver Setup shows the M-Audio Ozone in a list when OMS successfully finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows Identifying) the M-Audio Ozone output port.
6. The OMS MIDI Device Setup dialog box will appear showing the M-Audio Ozones output port (labeled M-Audio Ozone) with an open check box to the left of the port. You will now have to check this open box to enable the output port. Click OK.
7. Next,My Studio Setup appears with a file save dialog box over it. You will now need to name and save your new studio setup (or use the default name) before you can assign an instrument to the M-Audio Ozones output (labeled Ozone). Assign your instrument (this step is optional), and you are done.
You can run the OMS Test Studio utility by going to the Studio menu and releasing the mouse on Test Studio. Playing a note on your keyboard will give you an audio message from your computer,MIDI received, while the arrow pointing to the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on the keyboard icon with the mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the M-Audio Ozone USB MIDI output port. Any sound module connected to the M-Audio Ozone USB MIDI Out port should play the tone cluster. You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.The rest is up to the configuration within your music software. Generally, this means selecting OMS Compatibility, or Open Music System for your MIDI system setup. M-Audio Ozone and the Mac OS 9 Sound Manager The Macintosh Sound Manager in OS 9 will allow you to select the M-Audio Ozone as the systems audio output device. This allows Sound Manager applications such as iTunes or Quicktime to play through the M-Audio Ozone, however, you cannot use ASIO and Sound Manager simultaneously. Set the Macintosh's default Input and Output to "Built-in" when using ASIO applications such as Reason. To check your computers audio output setting and select the M-Audio Ozone:

1. Open the Apple menu, then select Sound from the Control Panels list. 2. Under Input and Output, select Ozone from the list of available devices. 3. Close the Apple Sound Control Panel.
M-Audio Ozone and Mac OS X Mac OS X will allow you to select the M-Audio Ozone as the systems audio output device.To change your Macs audio output setting to use the M-Audio Ozone:
1. Go to "System Preferences" in the Apple Menu. 2. Select the "Sound" preference panel, and click the "Output" tab.
3. Select "M-Audio Ozone" to choose the M-Audio Ozone as your default output device.You can also select the Input tab to make the M-Audio Ozone the default Input device.
The M-Audio Ozone Control Panel
When the M-Audio Ozone audio drivers are installed, M-Audio Ozone Control Panel software is also installed onto your system. The Control Panel gives you access to certain audio hardware parameters, plus some status readouts. First, lets locate the Control Panel on your particular OS. Windows: In Windows, the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel shows up on the task bar (located close to the clock), and is also accessible from the Windows Control Panel. Mac OS 9: On your OS 9 hard drive, open the System Folder.Then, in the Control Panels folder, locate the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel. You can also access the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel from the Apple Menu Control Panels. Mac OS X: In the OS X Apple menu, go to System Preferences, then to the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel. The following screenshot shows the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel in Macintosh OS X. (Please note that the functionality is similar in all versions of the M-Audio Ozone Control Panel, so please read on regardless of your OS). Lets take a look at each element in the Panel. If you decide to make and keep any changes, click Apply.
Active Channels: A box that is checked indicates that a channel pair is set to Active. Unchecking a box will deactivate that channel pair. When the Control Panel is installed, both Inputs 1 & 2 and Outputs 1 & 2 are set to Active by default. Sample Depth: The default Sample Depth setting is 16-bit. When the Sample Depth is set to 16-bit, then your music recording software will only allow you to record at 16-bit or lower. If you wish to record at a higher Sample Depth (sometimes referred to as Bit Depth or Bit Width), change this setting to 24-bit. Maximum Sample Rate: When both channel pairs are checked and active, the Maximum Sample Rate will show a reading of 48000 (samples per second). When either of the channel pairs is unchecked and deactivated, the Maximum Sample Rate will show a readout of 96000.This number represents the maximum sample rate at which your music software will record (due to the limitations of the USB bus). Latency: The amount of time it takes for audio to be converted to digital information, processed by the system, and converted from digital back to an analog audio signal is referred to as Latency. The M-Audio Ozones audio driver plays a role in that latency, so overall latency can be affected by your setting in the M-Audio Ozone Panel. The more robust your system (a combination of processing power and RAM), the lower the latency setting that it can handle. The default setting is medium. After recording and playing back some audio, if you find that the system seems to choke and stutter, or give you undesirable and audible results such as crackling, try changing the Latency box to a higher setting. Version Numbers: These numbers indicate the software version that is currently loaded and in use. Shown are Preference Panel, USB Driver, and Firmware version numbers.

Connection Status: The M-Audio Ozone Control Panel will only be accessible when your M-Audio Ozone is connected to the computer and recognized by the system. When the M-Audio Ozone is not connected, the panel will either be grayed out, or a message will pop up indicating that the M-Audio Ozone is not recognized. In Mac OS X (only), when your M-Audio Ozone is connected to your computers USB port and recognized by the system, this section will indicate a Connected to M-Audio Ozone status.
Application Software Setup
Once the M-Audio Ozone driver has been installed, you will need to configure your MIDI and audio application software to utilize the M-Audio Ozone. The manner in which this is done varies between applications, so we can just cover the basics here. Enabling MIDI: Generally with both the Mac and PC, most MIDI applications have a MIDI port configuration or settings dialog box, sometimes called MIDI Devices or MIDI Setup. It is within this dialog box that you will select or enable your MIDI input and output devices. If the M-Audio Ozone drivers are properly installed, then the port selection in this case will be the M-Audio Ozone In-1 (Port 1 on Mac) in the input column, and then M-Audio Ozone Out-1 (or Port 1) in the output column. Input 1 (or Port 1), corresponds to the information that will be sent from the M-Audio Ozone keyboard to your computer. M-Audio Ozone Out-1 (or Port 1), corresponds to the MIDI information sent from your music application to the physical MIDI output on your M-Audio Ozone that is marked USB. Make sure that those items are highlighted or checked.The output port that you select on a specific MIDI track within your sequence will output MIDI information to the keyboard or sound module that is attached to that port. Enabling Audio: After installing the M-Audio Ozone drivers and opening a music program for the first time, you may be prompted to profile your new audio devicethe M-Audio Ozone. If youve used the program before, youll have to do this yourself, or manually. How you do this will vary from program to program, so check your users guide. On both Mac and PC, there should be an Audio Preferences or Audio Setup screen within your music software (though there are a few music programs that are MIDI only). Once youve profiled the M-Audio Ozone, make sure that the inputs and outputs of your audio software are set to use the M-Audio Ozone for recording and playback. In ASIO applications, make

to be safe, check your mics documentation to see if it will accept or needs phantom power. Some ribbon mics definitely should NOT receive phantom power, as this could damage them. Using the Aux Inputs The M-Audio Ozone has a pair of Aux Input line inputs, both on a single 1/4 TRS jack. It is designed so that a single connector contains both the left and right input from a stereo source, such as a synthesizer, drum machine, or CD player. This input is unbalanced, 10dBV line level. Below is an example of the type of cable you will need to connect to the Aux Inputcommonly referred to as an Insert Cable.
The Aux Input has two modesMonitor and Record. In Monitor mode, the Aux Input is mixed with the signal coming from your computer via the USB cable, and plays through Outputs 1 and 2 and the Headphone Out. In Record mode, the Mic In (Channel 1) and Instrument In (Channel 2) are disabled so that you can record the Aux Inputs to your computer. In other words, Record mode turns the Aux Inputs into line inputs to your computer, and is useful if you want to record a line level stereo source. You may, for example, want to use the Aux Inputin Monitor modeto monitor a sound module that is being triggered by the M-Audio Ozones MIDI Out jack.Then, when your MIDI sequence is complete, you may want to record that sound module as an audio track. Recording your MIDI sequences as audio tracks allows you to apply effects and EQ, and then mix those tracks with other audio tracks (such as vocals and guitar) entirely from within your computer. To switch from Monitor mode to Record mode, simply press the Monitor/Record switch (located next to the Aux Input on the back panel) to the in position. Once you have done that, you will no longer hear the audio source that is plugged into the Aux Input. There are two ways that you can now monitor what you are about to record: Use the M-Audio Ozones built-in zero-latency Direct Monitoring (see next section) - OR Use your ASIO or WDM-compliant (such as Cakewalks Sonar) programs input monitoring feature. See your music software users guide for more info.
Also, as we mentioned, using Record mode defeats the Mic and Instrument inputs, so you will not be able to listen to or record from those inputs when the Aux Input is in Record mode. Another example is to use the Record mode only to switch Channel 1 and Channel 2 to line inputs, for the purpose of recording a tape deck, CD player, or other stereo line level source into your computer. Set the Monitor/Record switch to Record (the in position), then plug in your stereo source using an insert cable. Once you have set up the M-Audio Ozone to Record from the Aux Input, you will have to set up tracks in your music program for recording. Using Direct Monitor When a mic or instrument is plugged into the inputs of the M-Audio Ozone, its journey has just begun. The signal needs to be converted to a digital signal, which then gets sent to the computer via the USB pipe. From there, it gets sent to your music software and processed, then turns around and comes all the way back. Even though the M-Audio Ozone uses the latest hardware and software technology, it might take a few fractions of a second to make this trip. Although this delay is imperceptable when the performance is played back, it can be distracting when youre performing music. To compensate for this delay, the M-Audio Ozone has a feature called Direct Monitor. Direct Monitor sends the signal from the Channel 1 and 2 inputs directly to the Outputs, without any of the delay caused by traveling to and from the computer. The Direct Monitor level knobs control the level of the signal from the Channel 1 and 2 inputs to the Main and Headphone Outputs. Use these level knobs to set the monitoring level of the mic or instrument that you are recording relative to the audio tracks that are playing from your computer. The Direct Monitor system has a switch on the rear panel, labeled Direct Monitor Stereo/Mono. When this switch is set to Stereo, Input Channel 1 will be sent to the Left Output and Input Channel 2 will be sent to the Right Output. If you want to hear your source in mono through both outputs, set this switch to Mono.The Mono setting is useful when you are recording individual instruments, as opposed to a stereo source. When using Direct Monitor, you will need to disable any monitoring feature in your computer recording software. Otherwise, you will hear your input played back twiceonce through Direct Monitor, and again from your computer. See if there is a way to turn off the record or input

monitoring, mute the channels you are recording to, or send their output to another bus. In a typical Direct Monitor application, plug your microphone and guitar into Channel 1 and Channel 2 on the rear panel. Arm a pair of inputs in your computer recording software and set their recording levels using the Gain controls on the M-Audio Ozone.As detailed in the previous sections, you want the recording level to be as high as possible without distorting. Make sure that the recording software is not outputting the audio youre recording, or else you will hear the signal played twice from the outputs. Next, set the Direct Monitor Level for each Channel Input to your speakers or headphones and you are ready to record. If you are recording your mic and guitar while listening to tracks already recorded in your computer, you might want to listen once and set your Direct Monitor Level relative to the tracks playing from your computer.
NOTE: In this scenario, you may want to hear your mic and guitar in the center of the stereo image. To achieve this, locate the Direct Monitor switch on the M-Audio Ozone rear panel, and switch it to the Mono position.
In Mac OS X (only), when your M-Audio Ozone is connected to your computers USB port and recognized by the system, this section will indicate a Connected to M-Audio Ozone status.
M-Audio Ozone MIDI Setup and Control
A typical MIDI system would include your M-Audio Ozone, a computer, MIDI sequencing software, software synthesizers and/or a MIDI compatible sound module.This type of setup can be connected as follows: The M-Audio Ozone is connected to the computer via the USB port connectors, using the supplied USB standard cable. The M-Audio Ozone can play any software synthesizers that are installed in your system, as well as the synthesizer that is part of an internal sound card. This will depend on how you set up your software (see the section entitled Using the M-Audio Ozone in your Application Software). The USB MIDI Output of the M-Audio Ozone can be connected to the MIDI In of a sound module. The audio output of the sound module can be plugged directly into the Aux Input of the M-Audio Ozone. The M-Audio Ozones Output 1 and 2 can then be plugged into a sound system, or into a mixer, which is then connected to a sound system (see the section entitled M-Audio Ozone Audio Setup).

In the following setup, the M-Audio Ozone is being used as a MIDI controller as well as a MIDI interface, inputting MIDI data to the computer and its application software, and outputting MIDI to a sound module from which sounds will be produced. The M-Audio Ozone as a controller may also send MIDI information to any installed software synthesizer, outputting the audio from the M-Audio Ozones audio outputs.
Additionally, the M-Audio Ozone may be used as a standalone keyboard controller, independent of the computer and its USB port.You will want to use the MIDI out port that is labeled Keyboard. A setup such as this may be used in a performance situation, or when you wish to use the keyboard without the computer.
M-Audio Ozone MIDI Functions MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which makes all digital musical instruments equipped with this standardized interface able to exchange their MIDI data or talk to each other. To explain how MIDI works on your instrument in more detail, the following descriptions outline the MIDI functions of the M-Audio Ozone, which allow you to connect the keyboard to other MIDI instruments and to your computer.The versatile MIDI capability of the M-Audio Ozone will offer you tremendous power in a MIDI environment.
The keys on the M-Audio Ozone, in conjunction with the MIDI/SELECT button, give you the extra programming capability that is unique to M-Audios line of MIDI controllers (including the M-Audio Ozone, Oxygen8 and Radium).You can use the Data Entry key to enter in values, or the keys that are labeled with numbers.The keys labeled for specific MIDI functions can be used to assign that function to the data slider.The Set Ctrl key can be used with the numeric value keys to program the rotary faders to send MIDI controller information on specific MIDI channels. MIDI Functions In Standalone Mode To transmit MIDI data from your keyboard to other professional MIDI instruments, purchase a standard MIDI cable and use it to connect the MIDI OUT jack of your M-Audio Ozone labeled Keyboard to the MIDI IN jack of the other instrument.
1. Power up the M-Audio Ozone. 2. Make sure that the M-Audio Ozones MIDI port transmit channel matches the MIDI receive channel of the other instrument. 3. Please refer to the diagram in the section entitled Setting Up Your MIDI Studio for audio connections.
Default Settings of The M-Audio Ozone The M-Audio Ozone will always select the following values as parameters when the power is turned on. Transmit MIDI Channel no. 1 Default Octave will be from C4(60) to C6(84) Default After Touch value will be 0 Default Velocity value will be 0 Default Reverb Depth value will be 64 Default Pan Pot value will be 64 Default Volume value will be 127 Default CC Data value will be 0 Default CC no. value will be 0 Default Control Change (CC-00=0, CC-32=0) message to be transmitted Default Program Change (PG=1) message to be transmitted Default MIDI-controller knob-assignments on MIDI ch. 1

Utilizing the Programming Assignment Keys This section contains the information you will need to program the M-Audio Ozone, and to send any MIDI parameter data from the M-Audio Ozone keyboard.You may set the data slider to send MIDI controller data
of your choice, send program change data from the keyboard, select the MIDI transmit channel of the M-Audio Ozone, set the octave or pitch of the keyboard, and program the eight rotary controllers. DATA ENTRY Assignments: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button then pressing a key labeled by its MIDI function (such as velocity offset, aftertouch, reverb depth, pan pot, volume, CC data) and then moving the data entry slider, allows you to select the transmitting value of the chosen function. For example, if you want to change the value of the velocity offset, first press the MIDI/SELECT button and then the velocity key. Second, change the data entry slider to the value you want. Finally, press the MIDI/SELECT button again to finish the change. To assign any MIDI control value to the data slider:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press Press Press Press Press the the the the the MIDI/Select button CC No. key (low B) number keys to choose the MIDI controller number Enter key MIDI/Select button to finish your selection.
For a chart of MIDI control change values, see Appendix A in this manual. You can also use the data slider to send this MIDI controller information in real time. When the M-Audio Ozone powers up, the DATA ENTRY slider defaults to a MIDI controller value of 7. A Controller 7 message is the equivalent of a MIDI volume message. Once youve selected one of the keys that represents a controller value, i.e., velocity, aftertouch, pan pot, etc., or assigned a value using the number keys, the DATA ENTRY key then takes on that value and will transmit that type of controller information when the slider is moved SET CTRL Key: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button and then the SET CTRL key will allow you to begin programming the rotary control knobs. In order to change the value of each knob (1 - 8), you need to do as follows:
1. Press MIDI/SELECT, then the Set Controller key, F3 (marked SET CTRL.) The display will show a small n to indicate that the desired controller knob number should be entered next. 2. Choose the number of the desired controller knob using the number key group (1 - 8).Then press the Enter key.The display will show a P in anticipation of the parameter number. 3. Assign the desired MIDI controller parameter number using the number key group (1-127), then press Enter.The display will show a C in anticipation of the MIDI channel number. See chart, Appendix A.
4. Assign the MIDI channel number on number key group (1-16) then press Enter. This channel assignment will apply only to the controller knob that you are programming. 5. You can select up to five banks of presets for the M-Audio Ozones keyboard, P1-P5, by pressing the MIDI/SELECT button. This is most effective for stand-alone mode, not for all soft-synth presets. 6. Finally, Press MIDI/SELECT key again to finish assigning values to the controller knob.

RESET Key: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button, followed by the RESET key and then the Enter key, will send out a message to return all external MIDI instruments to their default setting. Press the MIDI/SELECT button again to complete the process. Flat and Sharp Keys: By pressing the MIDI/SELECT button and the flat or the sharp key, you will shift the active keyboard pitch one note (halfstep) higher, or lower. For example, if you want to change the pitch 2 notes down, press MIDI/SELECT button and the flat key twice. Press the MIDI/SELECT button to finish the change. To change the M-Audio Ozones octave range, press the the Octave Up or Octave Down button however many times you wish to shift the octave range. Press the MIDI/SELECT button to finish the change. MIDI CHANNEL Select: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button and then pressing the MIDI CHANNEL key allows you to select the transmitting channel for your keyboard. The default Channel is 1 when the keyboards power is turned on.To set the MIDI channel to 2, for example:
1. Press the MIDI/SELECT button. 2. Press the key labeled MIDI CHANNEL, on the keyboard. 3. Press the key labeled 2, on the keyboard, then press the key labeled Enter, also on the keyboard. Lastly, press the MIDI/SELECT button one more time (this will change the MIDI transmit channel from 1 to 2.)
Control Change Data Entry by Numeric Keypad: M-Audio Ozone allows you to use the numeric keys, instead of the data entry slider, to specify the Control Change parameter data.
