7 › Introduction to MIDI Programming Functions
Introduction
Before you begin exploring the MIDI section of the manual, please refer to the beginning of this guide and read the installation information. It is necessary to install the Oxygen and ensure it is working properly before you begin to work with the MIDI functions.
Testing Your Oxygen keyboard with Your Computer Software
We recommend that you verify that your software application is properly communicating with the Oxygen keyboard. Most software applications have a MIDI Input indicator. To confirm data is received, press any key on the keyboard.
If you encounter any issues or if the software receives no data, please verify that you have selected the keyboard’s driver as the MIDI Input for your software. In addition, please read the troubleshooting section at the back of this manual and consult the manual that came with your software for proper configuration within the software application.
Edit Mode
This manual will frequently refer to the “Edit mode.” Edit mode defines the state of the Oxygen after pressing the Advanced Function button which is labeled “Advanced.”
In Edit mode, use the Oxygen keys for selecting programming functions. These functions are listed above each key on the key bed.
When entering numerical values in Edit mode, the LED display shows the value entered. This value will update as you enter numerical data.
Use the Enter key each time the numerical data entry keys are used to enter a value. This will save that value. To exit Edit mode, simply press the Edit button again, the LED will no longer be lit and you will have restored the keyboard.

Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide
8 › Function Buttons Defined
Advanced
The Advanced Functions feature will put the keyboard into Edit mode, and the keys on the key bed will then call up the assigned programming function written on the panel above them.
When the Advanced Function button is pressed, and the keyboard enters edit mode, the LED screen will show three dots along the bottom of the display.
Mute
The Mute function mutes all MIDI output from the rotary dials, or faders on your Oxygen controller. This allows for adjustment of controller parameters without altering software settings– useful for preventing parameter jumps in your software. To activate Controller Mute, press the Mute button. The LED display will read “OFF” each time a controller is moved, in order to make it clear that the controller is not sending any MIDI data.
The Mute function does not affect the buttons, the sustain pedal, or the keys. Pressing any of these controllers on your Oxygen keyboard will cancel Mute mode automatically. To exit the Controller Mute mode, press the Controller Mute button again (the LED screen will read “On”).
Snap Shot
The Snap Shot function sends out the current settings for each knob and fader on their current MIDI channel. This feature lets you record the settings of the controllers into your sequencer, or update your software’s parameters to match the settings on your Oxygen.
Snap Shot can be used in conjunction with the Mute function to create interesting effects. For example, Mute can be used to adjust the position of the controllers on your Oxygen without affecting the software parameters, Then, Snap Shot can be used to immediately shift all parameters to the new levels you have changed while muted, all at once.
Select
The Select button is used to select the function of the 2 data buttons. Each time the Select button is pressed, a different dot will light along the bottom of the LED display to indicate which of the functions the Data buttons are currently assigned to.
The functions that can be assigned to the data buttons are Global Channel, Program and Preset Select (Preset is available from these buttons on the 25-note Oxygen 8 v2 only. On the 49and 61-note versions, there are separate dedicated buttons for Preset). On initial power up, the data buttons will alter the selected preset on the 25-note version. On the 49and 61-note versions, by default the data buttons will alter the Global Channel. The settings for the Data buttons will be remembered even when you power down your Oxygen.
If the Data buttons are assigned to ‘Prog’ then the buttons have the effect of sending a Program change. This is a useful setting if you want to change quickly between patches on a synthesizer and audition the sound. Program Changes are always sent on the Global MIDI Channel.
If the Data buttons are assigned to ‘Preset’ then the buttons are used to change between various presets of your Oxygen. This means that each time a Data button is pressed, a new preset will be recalled.
If the Data buttons are assigned to ‘Glob.’ the buttons will change the Global MIDI Channel that the Oxygen controller is transmitting on.
Data -/+ Buttons
The left Data button is ‘-‘ and will decrement the assigned function’s value. The right Data button is ‘+’ and will increment the assigned function’s value.
Preset -/+ and Dual Press Memory Recall (49and 61-note)
Note: the 25-note version does not have Preset – and + buttons. Simply press Preset — (down) or Preset + (up) to toggle through the preset memories. Alternately, you can press both Preset — and Preset + which will put the keyboard into Advanced Function mode, and then enter the memory number on the key bed to load one of the 10 presets from preset memory.

Control Assign
The Control Assign function assigns a MIDI controller message (MIDI CC) to a selected controller.
To assign a MIDI CC to a selected controller:
1.Press the Advanced Function button.
2.Press the Control Assign key.
3.Enter the MIDI CC value with the numeric keys.
4.Press the Enter key.
The controller that is affected by the Control Assign function is always the last used controller. By default, controller 1 is selected. However, it is possible to alter the selected controller during edit mode by moving a different controller. As you enter a new MIDI cc assignment using the data entry keys, the LED will update to give feedback on the number that has been entered.
Please see appendix A for a list of MIDI cc’s that are assignable. Note that we have expanded on the standard MIDI CC list. This is to include other useful MIDI messages such as NRPN messages, GM/GM2 Sys Ex and even some CC’s that define how the controller should operate. This simplifies programming such messages which are often complicated to program on other devices.
Global Channel
The Global Channel function changes the MIDI channel assigned to the keyboard. Your Oxygen controller will transmit on any of the standard 16 MIDI channels. The Global MIDI Channel will affect the channel on which program changes, bank changes, and any controllers set to respond to the global channel will transmit.
To set the Global Channel:
1.Press the Advanced Function button
2.Press the Global Channel key.
3 Enter the MIDI channel number on the key bed.
4Press the Enter key.
When engaging theGlobal Channel function, the LED screen will display the “c” symbol, and the last selected channel.
Note that it is also possible to set the Data keys to control the Global Channel. To do this:
1.Press the Select Function button until the dot above Glob Chan is lit.
2.Use the — and + Data buttons to decrement/increment the Global Channel.
Channel Assign
TheChannel Assign function assigns a channel to an individual MIDI controller.
1.Press the Advanced button and then the Channel Assign key.
2.Enter the MIDI channel number using the data entry keys.
3.Then press the Enter key.
When assigned to channel 00, the controller will transmit on Globalthe Channel.
When engaging theChannel Assign function, the LED screen will display the “c” symbol, and the last selected channel.
Note: When a controller is assigned to send SysEx messages, the individual control channel number defines a Device ID and not a transmit channel. Please see Appendix A to find out which of the extra MIDI CC numbers determine that the control should send a SysEx message.
