Oxygen Presets

Your M-Audio Oxygen keyboard controller comes with 10 preset setups that allow you to use the keyboard with supported software right out of the box. Preset Application General MIDI GForce Oddity GForce ImpOSCar GForce Minimonsta:Melohman Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600 Wizoo Darbuka/Latigo Propellerhead Reason Mixer Propellerhead Reason Modules GS/XG NRPN Effect Controls Unassigned Controllers (Ableton Live)
With some of these applications it is necessary to set up your Oxygen keyboard within the software.
How to use the Oxygen with Ableton Live
Ableton Live does not have any default MIDI controller assignments but it is possible to make your own very quickly and easily using the softwares MIDI Learn function. It is best to use Preset 10 with Live, as it is programmed with a selection of unassigned MIDI controllers. 1) Select your Oxygen controller as the remote control device:
< Select Preferences from the Options menu (Windows) or from the Live menu (Mac). < Click on the MIDI/Sync tab. < In the Input column, set your Oxygen keyboard remote setting to ON.
2) Close the Preferences Window. 3) Click on the MIDI button in the top right hand corner. 4) Click on the parameter you want to control. 5) Move the desired control on your Oxygen. 6) When you have nished making all your assignments, click the MIDI button in the top right hand corner to exit Lives MIDI Map mode. If you nd that the transport controls have to be pressed twice, this can be changed for each control by following these steps: 1) Press a transport button. 2) Press Advanced then the Data 2 key on the keybed. 3) Type 127 and press ENTER on the keybed. Repeat this process for each transport control that you want to change. It is a good idea at this point to store your setup by pressing the Advanced button followed by Store on the keybed and then typing in a preset location from 1 to 10. Finally, press ENTER.
Preset 4: GForce Minimonsta:Melohman
In order to select your Oxygen keyboard as the MIDI input device for Minimonsta:
< Click on the Setup button just above Minimonstas keyboard. < Select your Oxygen keyboard from the menu that appears (displayed by name or as USB audio device on PC and CoreMIDI In interface on

Mac.).

Preset 5: Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600

To use this preset:

< Click on the TimewARP 2600 logo. < Select Load MIDI map. < Select the default map and click OK.
Preset 6: Wizoo Darbuka/Latigo
Wizoos Darbuka and Latigo are VST/AU/RTAS plug-ins that can only be used from within a host application. Make sure the MIDI input to the host is set to be your Oxygen keyboard. Set one of the tracks in the host to output to Darbuka or Latigo. Please consult the hosts documentation to see how this is done. To make the most of the Wizoo preset, the host should be set to transmit on all channels to Darbuka or Latigo.
Presets 7 and 8: Propellerhead Reason
Preset 7 will control the mixer in Reason. Preset 8 will control the Subtractor, Malstrom or the NN-19 in Reason. To set up your Oxygen keyboard to control the desired Reason module:
< Select the Edit menu (Windows) or Reason menu (Mac), followed by Preferences. < Select Advanced MIDI from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. < Select your Oxygen keyboard as the Bus A device. Close the Preferences dialog.
In the MIDI IN device section at the top of the Reason rack, select the desired module in the Channel 1 box. Attention: Reason 3 includes presets for control surfaces and keyboards and lists Oxygen 8 (older model) and Oxygen 8 (newer model) as two of the available options. These presets are intended for the original Midiman Oxygen 8 and not for the M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2. The controller mapping may differ from your expectation when using one of these presets with a new M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2.
Preset 10: Undened MIDI controllers
This preset loads MIDI controller messages that are undened in the GM specication. This means that there is a reduced risk of altering a useful control by accident with this preset selected. Many applications do not have their parameters set up with default MIDI controllers. Most of these applications allow you to set up the controllers yourself. You should consult the documentation for your application to see how this is done. For applications that can learn MIDI controllers for their parameters, you should select this preset.

Oxygen Series Control Assign, Data 1, Data 2, Data 3
The Control Assign function (CTRL ASGN) assigns a MIDI continuous control number (MIDI CC), or other MIDI parameter from the table in Appendix B to the selected Knob, Button, Slider, or to the Sustain Pedal jack. The Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3 keys define various related aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control. For example, it is possible to configure a Button to send MIDI note On/Off Data by assigning it to controller number 147. The Data 1 key is used to specify the pitch (or note number) of the MIDI note for the button (see Appendix C). The Data 2 key is used to set the Note Off velocity (Velocity Off), and the Data 3 key is used to set the Note On velocity (Velocity On), determining how loud the note will sound. Please refer to Section 9 - Advanced Programming Functions, for more details and step-by-step control assignment examples for different purposes.

Channel Assign

The Channel Assign function (CHAN ASGN) assigns a Knob, Slider, Button or the Sustain Pedal jack to a specific MIDI channel. 1. Select the control as described earlier in this guide. 2. Press the Advanced button 3. Press the Channel Assign key - the LED display will show the currently assigned MIDI channel for the active control (for example "c.0.2.") 4. Enter the new MIDI channel number using the number keys 5. Press the Enter key When assigned to channel "0", the control (Knob, Slider, Button or Sustain Pedal jack) will transmit on the Global MIDI Channel. See the next section, "Global Channel" for more information. NOTE: When a control is assigned to send SysEx messages, the displayed number represents the SysEx Device ID instead of the MIDI transmit channel number. Please refer to Section 10 - MIDI Messages Defined for more information about SysEx messages, and Appendix B for a complete list of assignable SysEx messages.

NOTE: Bank MSB messages will not have any effect until they are followed by a Program Change message. See section 10, MIDI Messages Defined for more information.
Press the Advanced button followed by the Panic key to send an "All Notes Off" message on all 16 MIDI channels. This stops any stuck notes that continue to play even after their keys have been released.
Oxygen Series Velocity Curve
The Velocity Curve Select key (VEL CURVE) is used to change the touch sensitivity of the keyboard. This setting lets you decide how the force with which you hit a key affects the volume at which a note plays. Oxygen Series keyboards provide 7 different sensitivity options: 1 = C1 is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you tend to strike the keys harder. 2 = C2 is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an "average" touch (people who play with an average amount of force). 3 = C3 is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you tend to strike the keys with less force. 4 = C4 is a sensitivity setting that generates an equal velocity value for a given amount of force, resulting in a linear (or neutral) keyboard response. 5 = F1 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 64 (on a scale of 0-127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck. 6 = F2 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 100 (on a scale of 0-127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck. 7 = F3 is a setting that effectively disables sensitivity, meaning the keyboard will generate a fixed velocity value of 127 (on a scale of 0-127) regardless of how hard or soft the keys are struck.
When a new Velocity Curve is selected using either method described below, the LED screen will show the first 4 Velocity curves as C1 - C4, and the three fixed velocity settings as F1 - F3. 1. 2. 3. 4. - or 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the Advanced button Press the Velocity Curve key - the LED display will show the current velocity curve (for example ".C.2") Use the "-" and "+" buttons to scroll through the Velocity Curves (C1 through F3) Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Velocity Curve key - the LED display will show the current velocity curve (for example ".C.2") Type the Velocity Curve number (1 through 7) using the number keys Press the Enter key
Drawbar Mode (Oxygen 49 and 61 only)
This parameter switches all 9 Sliders to Drawbar Mode. In this mode, the operation of the sliders is reversed, so that the maximum value (127) is at the bottom and the minimum value (0) is at the top. This feature is intended for use with Organ presets that utilize drawbars. 1. Press the Advanced button 2. Press the Drawbar key - the LED screen will momentarily display "On" Drawbar mode becomes active immediately and Advanced mode exits automatically Repeat steps 1 and 2 to disable Drawbar mode.

9 Advanced Programming Functions
The MIDI CC (continuous controller) numbers from 0 to 127 are part of the General MIDI specification, and are typically used for real-time control of parameters in MIDI compatible music equipment. For example, an Oxygen knob may be assigned to MIDI CC number 10, which controls the Pan setting of a connected synthesizer or DAW software track. Many of the controls on Oxygen series keyboards are fully programmable, and can be assigned to any of these standard MIDI CCs. However, to simplify assignment of other, more complex MIDI message types (for example SysEx or RPN/NRPN), M-Audio has appended such additional MIDI message types to the end of the MIDI CC number list, extending its range beyond 127. These additional messages can be assigned to Oxygen controls, just as if they were standard MIDI CCs, but using numbers in the range from 128 to 255, as listed in the tables in Appendix B. Generally, this is achieved by selecting the control for editing and assigning a 3-digit number. This section provides examples of the typical control assignment procedure for knobs, sliders, buttons and the sustain pedal jack. Assigning MIDI messages that are not explicitly mentioned in this section is done by using the same basic principle as given in the examples. Appendix A lists the standard MIDI CC numbers from 0 to 127 and their corresponding General MIDI parameters. Appendix B lists the additional, M-Audio specific MIDI assignment options (128 - 255), grouped by control type (sliders & knobs / buttons & sustain pedal jack), as well as their corresponding data type and purpose. NOTE: Your Oxygen keyboard never transmits values outside the range specified by the MIDI protocol (0-127). The controller numbers from 128 - 255 are only used internally by your Oxygen keyboard. This simplifies configuration of the knobs, buttons and sliders when assigning advanced MIDI messages, and allows additional configuration options for the controls (for example, setting Trigger or Toggle operation of a button).

NOTE: When working with proprietary M-Audio parameters from the 128-255 range, the "Control Assign" setting is used to configure a button or the sustain pedal for this special mode of operation. This means that certain values that are usually specified through the "Control Assign" setting must instead be specified via the "Data 1" parameter (such as the standard MIDI CC parameter in the example below). The following example will configure a button to "hard pan" the sound to the right speaker when it is held down, and "hard pan" to the left speaker when it is released. This involves configuring the button to operate as a trigger, while controlling the Pan parameter (MIDI CC 10): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Select a button as described earlier in this guide Press the Advanced button Press the Control Assign key Type 146 using the number keys. This configures the button to operate as a trigger (press/release). See Appendix B Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 1 key Type 10 using the number keys. This specifies which parameter the button will trigger and release. In this example, MIDI CC 10 (Pan). See Appendix A Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key Type 0 using the number keys. This sets the "release" value to zero. In other words, sound will be panned "hard left" when the button is released. Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 3 key Type 127 using the number keys. This sets the "press" value to the maximum value, so that the sound is panned hard right when the button is pressed. Press the Enter key
TIP: It can be useful to transmit two other specific values instead of sending minimum (zero) and maximum (127) values as in the above example. When assigning a button to control Pan (MIDI CC 10), you can, for example, configure Data 2 to send value 38, and Data 3 to send value 93, effectively causing pan to switch between the approximate "ten oclock" and "two oclock" positions when pressing and releasing the button.
Oxygen Series Assigning MMC Control to Buttons
The transport functions of some hardware recording devices and DAW applications can be remotely operated via MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands. MMC is a specialized transport control protocol and requires a somewhat different configuration method. The following values need to be specified: Key Control Assign Channel Assign (example) Data 2 (example) Parameter MMC Control Device ID MMC Function 2 (Play) Value
The following example will configure a button to send the MMC command "Play": 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Select an assignable button as described earlier in this guide Press the Advanced button Press the Control Assign key Type 149 using the number keys. This sets the button to send MMC (MIDI Machine Control) Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Channel Assign key Enter 127 (Poly On) using the number keys. This ensures all receiving devices will respond to the MMC messages Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key Enter a number from the chart below to select the MMC command for the button. This determines which transport function will be controlled by this button. For example, enter "2" for the Play command Press the Enter key Number 12 MMC Command STOP PLAY DEFERRED PLAY FAST FORWARD REWIND RECORD STROBE RECORD EXIT RECORD PAUSE PAUSE EJECT CHASE COMMAND ERROR RESET MMC RESET

Oxygen Series Assigning a Note to a Button
It is possible to configure a Button to send a Note On message when it is held down, and a Note Off message when it is released. This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples): Key Control Assign Data 1 (example) Data 2 (example) Data 3 (example) Parameter Trigger Note On/Off Note pitch Note off velocity Note on velocity (E4 - see Appendix C) Value
The following example configures a button to play MIDI note E4 while it is being held down and stop the note when the button is released. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Select a button as described earlier in this guide Press the Advanced button Press the Control Assign key Enter 147 using the number keys. This sets the button to trigger MIDI Notes (see Appendix B) Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 1 key (Pitch/Note parameter) Enter "64" using the number keys. This sets the button to play MIDI note 64 (E4 - see Appendix C) Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key (Velocity Off) Enter 0 using the number keys. This sets the button to transmit a Note Off message with a release velocity value of zero. Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 3 key (Velocity On) Enter 100 using the number keys. This sets the button to transmit a Note On message with a velocity of 100 when pressed Press the Enter key
NOTE: It is also possible to configure a button to send a note on message when it is pressed and a note off message when it is pressed a second time. To do this, follow the above configuration steps, but enter 148 for the "Control Assign" parameter (see Appendix B).
Setting Buttons to send combined Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB messages
The assignable buttons and the sustain pedal can be configured to send a multi-part message, consisting of a Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB message when pressed. This is useful for specific patch/sound selection from a specific bank of a connected synthesizer or virtual instrument. This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples): Key Control Assign Data 1 (example) Data 2 (example) Data 3 (example) Parameter Program/Bank Preset select Program Change Number Bank LSB number Bank MSB number (GM Instrument Cello see Appendix C) Value
The following example configures a button to send a total of 3 MIDI messages each time the button is pressed (Bank LSB, Bank MSB and Program Change), allowing you to recall any sound in any bank of a connected software or hardware synthesizer that supports this: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Select the Control as described earlier in this guide (Button or Pedal) Press the Advanced button Press the Control Assign key Enter 145 using the number keys. This sets the button or the pedal to send a combined Bank Select/Program Change message Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 1 key Enter the Program Change number, for example 42 Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key Enter the Bank LSB number, for example 8 Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 3 key Enter the Bank MSB number, for example 32 Press the Enter key

Oxygen Series Reversing the operation of Knobs or Sliders

User Guide 11

Most MIDI parameters assignable to knobs or sliders can be configured so that the controls operation is reversed. Once a control is assigned to a MIDI parameter, by default the Data 2 parameter defines the minimum value (for example zero) while the Data 3 parameter defines the maximum value to be transmitted (for example 127). Reversing the operation of Knobs or Sliders is achieved by entering a higher value for the Data 2 parameter (usually minimum) and a lower value for the Data 3 parameter (usually maximum). This is useful when a single Slider needs to be configured to work as a drawbar, or if a knob needs to be configured in reverse when controlling a particular parameter. This requires two values to be specified (values given are examples): Key Data 2 (example) Data 3 (example) Parameter Minimum Value Maximum Value Value
The following example configures a button or slider to reverse its operation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Select a Knob or Slider as detailed earlier in this guide Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key Enter 127 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its maximum value when it is all the way down Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 3 key Enter 0 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its minimum value when it is all the way up Press the Enter Key
The Knob or Slider now operates reversed. What was originally the maximum position, is now the minimum position, and vice versa.
Oxygen Series Limiting the Range of a Knob or Slider

User Guide 12

The MIDI protocol allows for a maximum range of transmitted values between 0 and 127. The effective range of values transmitted by Knobs and Sliders can be limited by entering values other than 0 and 127 (default) for the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters. For example with the Data 2 parameter set to 38 and Data 3 set to 93, if a knob is set fully counter-clockwise, the lowest value it transmits is 38. If the knob is turned fully clockwise, the highest value it transmits is 93. This can be useful in a variety of scenarios, for example to keep a knob within the "sweet spot" of a synthesizer parameter (for example, filter cutoff), or to quickly recall a specific minimum or maximum volume setting for a track. Key Control Assign (example) Data 2 (example) Data 3 (example) Parameter MIDI CC number Minimum Value Maximum Value Value 07 (Volume) 38 93

The following example configures a knob or slider to operate within a limited range (38 to 93): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Select a a Knob or Slider as described earlier in this guide Press the Advanced button Press the Control Assign key Type 7 using the number keys. This assigns MIDI CC number 7 (Volume) to the knob or slider. See Appendix A Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 2 key Type 38 using the number keys Press the Enter key Press the Advanced button Press the Data 3 key Type 93 using the number keys Press the Enter key
NOTE: The operation of knobs and sliders can be reversed, even if the range of operation is limited. This is achieved by entering a higher value for the Data 2 parameter and a lower value for the Data 3 parameter.

User Guide 13

Assigning RPN/NRPN messages to a Knob, Slider, Button, or Pedal
Oxygen Series keyboards allow transmission of all three necessary MIDI CC messages for RPNs and NRPNs by simply moving a knob or slider or by pressing a button or the sustain pedal. The "Control Assign" setting allows assignment for control of the RPN Coarse (132) and RPN Fine (133), as well as NRPN Coarse (134) and NRPN Fine (135) parameters (see Section 10 - MIDI Messages Defined and Appendices A & B for more information). The Data 1 setting lets you specify which MIDI CC number is sent to alter values (usually: Coarse=CC 6; Fine=CC 38). The Data 2 setting defines what value is sent for LSB (RPN: CC 100, NRPN: CC 98) while the Data 3 setting defines which value is sent for MSB (RPN: CC 101, NRPN: CC 99). Together, the LSB and MSB values specify the RPN/NRPN parameter to be edited. Assigning a knob to control an RPN/NRPN on a connected hardware or software device requires four values to be specified. Key Control Assign Data 1 (example) Data 2 (example) Data 3 (example) Parameter NRPN Coarse CC for Value Change CC 98 / LSB CC 99 / MSB Value
The following example assigns a manufacturer specific NRPN coarse (134) message to a control on your Oxygen keyboard: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
