Setup

Connecting Your Keyboard

1. Plug the USB cable provided with your Oxygen 25 to a free USB port on your computer.

2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB input on the Oxygen 25.

The single USB cable not only powers the keyboard but also sends MIDI data to and from your computer system. If you intend to use your Oxygen 25 with a USB hub, make sure the USB hub uses an external power supply. Using a passive USB hub which does not use a power supply may not provide enough power if other devices are connected to the hub. We do not recommend connecting an audio interface to the same USB hub as the Oxygen 25.

You can also use Oxygen 25 with your iPad Camera Connection Kit to control supported music creation apps. The iPad Camera Connection Kit is available from the Apple Store.

DirectLink Installations

Rather than assigning parameters one by one, DirectLink automatically maps Oxygen 25’s controls to many of the most frequently used digital audio workstation (DAW) features and settings. When used with a supported DAW, you can control the transport, mixing controls (faders and panning) and virtual instrument or signal processing plug-in parameters. You can also switch between DirectLink and custom MIDI operation on the fly to match your particular needs.

To enable DirectLink with your Oxygen 25, you may need to install some additional software, including the DirectLink "personality" for your specific DAW. Visit m-audio.com/directlink for a current list of DAWs that support DirectLink and to download any necessary profiles.

Getting Started

Connect the Oxygen 25 to your computer and then open your software. In your software’s Preferences, Options, or Device Set-Up menu, select Oxygen 25.

For further information about configuring your software to receive MIDI data from your Oxygen 25, and using software instruments with the application, refer to the documentation provided with that product.

Features

Front Panel

1. LED Screen: The Oxygen 25 features a 3-digit LED display providing visual information regarding current operation, programing and controller status.

2. Function Buttons: The Oxygen 25 features function buttons for programming, access to settings and advanced features.

DirectLink Operation: In Auto mode, < and > will scroll documentation which can be downloaded at m-audio.com/directlink.

Standard Operation: The < and > buttons do not send MIDI. In performance mode they will cycle the currently selected LCD parameter (Global Channel, Program, or Preset). In Edit Mode, they will cycle through the currently selected editable control.

3. Fader: Sends different types of standard MIDI CC messages or advanced MIDI messages based on the assigned parameter or the active preset. The fader can be individually assigned to a different MIDI parameter. For DirectLink operation, please see the DirectLink User Guide available at m-audio.com/directlink.

4. Knobs: Sends different types of standard MIDI CC messages or advanced MIDI messages based on the assigned parameter or the active preset. Each knob can be individually assigned to a different MIDI parameter. For DirectLink operation, please see the DirectLink User Guide available at m-audio.com/directlink.

5. Pads: Press these velocity-sensitive pads to send Note On/Off and velocity data when performing. To change the pad octave assignment, hold down the Shift and the + or - octave button. These changes affect all eight pads globally. To transpose from the default pad assignments, hold down the Shift and Select button and press the + or - octave buttons. To reset the pads to the default factory assignments, hold down the Shift and both octave buttons. The pads will only send on MIDI channel 10.

6. Transport Buttons: These buttons send standard MIDI CC, MIDI note, MMC (MIDI Machine Control) or other advanced MIDI messages based on the parameter they are assigned to, or the active preset. Each Transport Button can be individually assigned to a different MIDI parameter.

DirectLink Operation: These buttons map to the Transport Buttons in supported DAW applications to control playback, record, start/stop, as well as enabling (or disabling) of the loop function.

Standard Operation: These buttons send standard MIDI CC, MIDI note, MMC (MIDI Machine Control) or other advanced MIDI messages based on the parameter they are assigned to, or the active preset. Each button can be reassigned to control various parameters in your DAW, including the transport controls, by using your recording application’s MIDI Learn function.

7. Velocity-Sensitive Keyboard: The velocity-sensitive keyboard is not only the primary method of sending Note On/Off and velocity data when performing, it is also used to access extended programing functions listed along its upper edge.

8. Octave Buttons: The Octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard’s octave range up or down in one octave increments, extending the octave range of the pads or keys.

9. Pitch Bend Wheel: This wheel creates expressive changes in performances by raising and lowering pitch. Rolling the Pitch Bend wheel upward will raise an instrument’s pitch whereas rolling it downward will lower the pitch. The upper and lower pitch bend limit is determined by settings on your hardware or software synthesizer, not by the Pitch Bend wheel on the Oxygen 25 keyboard itself. Typically, this can be either a half note or an octave up/down. This wheel is spring mounted and will return to the center detent position when released. The Pitch Bend wheel is an assignable controller capable of sending a variety of MIDI messages other than pitch bend data.

Panic: Press the Edit 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.

Velocity Curve: The Velocity Curve Select key (Vel Curve) is used to change the touch sensitivity of the keyboard or

pads. This setting lets you decide how the force with which you hit a key or pad affects the volume at which a note plays.

Oxygen 25 provides 7 different sensitivity options:

1: C1 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 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 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.

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 25 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 25 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 25 controls, just as if they were standard MIDI CCs, but using numbers in the range from 128 to 255. 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, faders, buttons, wheels, and the sustain pedal. Assigning MIDI messages that are not explicitly mentioned in this section is done by using the same basic principle as given in the examples.

NOTE: Your Oxygen 25 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 25 keyboard. This simplifies configuration of the knobs, wheels, buttons, faders, and sustain pedal when assigning advanced MIDI messages, and allows additional configuration options for the controls (for example, setting the Trigger or Toggle operation of a button).

Setting Trigger Values for the Buttons or the Sustain Pedal

When standard MIDI CC numbers are assigned to buttons or the Sustain pedal, they will trigger between two values. The sustain pedal is already configured to send trigger values by default, ensuring it activates the sustain effect when pressed and deactivates it when the pedal is released. Buttons can also be configured to operate this way, which requires three values to be specified.

Control Assign (example)

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.

3. Select a button as described earlier in this guide.

4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.

5. Type 10 using the number keys. This assigns MIDI CC number 10 (Pan) to the button.

6. Press the Data 2 key.

7. Type 0 using the number keys to assign the "release" (minimum) value.

8. Press the Data 3 key.

9. Type 127 using the number keys to assign the "pressed" (maximum) value.

10. Press the Enter key.

TIP: It can be useful to transmit two other specific values instead of sending minimum (0) 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 o’clock" and "two o’clock" positions when pressing the button, and releasing the button.

Page 10

Setting Toggle Values (Min/Max) for Buttons or the Sustain Pedal

It is possible to set a Toggle Value for a button or the sustain pedal, causing it to send one value when first pressed and another value when pressed again. This means that one value is sent the first time it is pressed, and another value is sent the next time it is pressed.

When configuring a button or the sustain pedal to operate in Toggle Mode, the following four values need to be specified:

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 pressed for the first time, and "hard pan" to the left speaker when it is pressed for a second time. This involves configuring the button to operate as a toggle, while controlling the Pan parameter (MIDI CC 10):

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.

3. Select a button as described earlier in this guide.

4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.

5. Type 146 using the number keys. This configures the button to operate as a toggle.

6. Press the Data 1 key.

7. Type 10 using the number keys. This specifies which parameter the button will toggle “on and off”. In this example, MIDI CC 10 (Pan).

8. Press the Data 2 key.

9. Type 0 using the number keys. This sets the second button press value to zero. In other words, sound will be panned "hard left" when the button is pressed a second time.

10. Press the Data 3 key.

11. Type 127 using the number keys. This sets the first button press value to the maximum value, so that the sound is panned “hard right” when the button is pressed the first time.

12. Press the Enter key.

Programming a Button or Sustain Pedal to Increment/Decrement a MIDI CC value

It is possible to configure a button to increase or decrease a value each time it is pressed. This is useful if you want to step through values one by one each time a button is pressed. To configure a button to increment a MIDI CC between a minimum and maximum value, assign the button to number 154.

The minimum and maximum values are set using the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters respectively. This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples):

Control Assign

Data 1 (example)

Data 2 (example)

Data 3 (example)

The following example configures a button to increment the release time of the currently active MIDI instrument sound preset every time the button is pressed (you may have to push the button several times while playing notes to hear a difference).

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.

3. Select a button as described earlier in this guide.

4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.

5. Enter 154 using the number keys. This sets the button or the pedal to increment the MIDI CC value.

6. Press the Data 1 key.

7. Enter 72 using the number keys. This specifies the MIDI CC for which values will be incremented.

8. Press the Data 2 key.

9. Enter 0 using the number keys. This specifies the minimum value.

10. Press the Data 3 key.

11. Enter 127 using the number keys. This specifies the maximum value.

12. Press the Enter key.

To configure a button to decrement (decrease) a MIDI CC value, assign the button to number 153. The minimum and maximum value (range) for each button is set using the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters respectively.

NOTE: Each button will only increment or decrement its own parameter value and this value is independent of any other button. In other words, assigning one button to increment a parameter and another button to decrement the same parameter will cause the first button to send values such as 1, 2, 3, etc., each time the button is pressed. Pressing the second button will send values such as 127, 126, 125 (as opposed to starting to decrement where the first button left off; for example, 2, 1, 0).

9. Enter 127 using the number keys. This specifies the highest Program number.

10. Press the Enter key.

To configure a button or sustain pedal to decrement a Program Change between a maximum and minimum value, assign the button to number 155. The minimum and maximum values are set using the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters respectively.

NOTE: Each button or the sustain pedal will only increment or decrement its own parameter value and this value is independent of any other button. In other words, assigning one button to increment through sound presets and another button to decrement through sound presets will cause the first button to recall programs 1, 2, 3, etc., each time the button is pressed. Pressing the second button will recall programs such as 127, 126, 125 (as opposed to starting to decrement where the first button left off for example, 2, 1, 0).

Reversing the Operation of Knobs, Wheels, or Faders

Most MIDI parameters assignable to knobs, wheels, or faders can be configured so that the control’s operation is reversed. Once a control is assigned to a MIDI parameter, by default the Data 2 parameter defines the minimum value (for example, 0) while the Data 3 parameter defines the maximum value to be transmitted (for example, 127).

Reversing the operation of knobs, wheels, or faders 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 fader needs to be configured to work as a drawbar when controlling with an organ-based virtual instrument, 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):

Data 3 (example)

The following example configures a knob, wheel, or fader to reverse its operation:

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.

3. Select a knob, wheel, or fader as described earlier in this guide.

4. Press the Data 2 key.

5. Enter 127 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its maximum value when it is all the way down.

6. Press the Data 3 key.

7. Enter 0 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its minimum value when it is all the way up.

8. Press the Enter Key.

The Knob, Wheel, or Fader now operates reversed. What was originally the maximum position is now the minimum position, and vice versa.

Limiting the Range of a Knob, Wheel, or Fader

The MIDI protocol allows for a maximum range of transmitted values between 0 and 127. The effective range of values transmitted by a knob, wheel, and fader 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.

The following example configures a knob or fader to operate within a limited range (38 to 93):

Control Assign (example)

Data 2 (example)

Data 3 (example)

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.

3. Select a control as described earlier in this guide.

4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.

5. Type 7 using the number keys. This assigns MIDI CC number 7 (Volume) to the knob, wheel, or fader.

6. Press the Data 2 key.

7. Type 38 using the number keys.

8. Press the Data 3 key.

9. Type 93 using the number keys.

10. Press the Enter key.

NOTE: The operation of knobs, wheels, and faders 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.

Assigning RPN/NRPN Messages to a Knob, Fader, Button, Wheel, or Pedal

Oxygen 25 allows transmission of all three necessary MIDI CC messages for RPNs and NRPNs by simply moving a knob or fader or wheel 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.

• 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, wheel, or fader to control an RPN/NRPN on a connected hardware or software device requires four values to be specified.

• Assigning a button or the sustain pedal to control an RPN/NRPN on a connected hardware or software device requires three values to be specified.

The following example assigns a manufacturer specific NRPN coarse (134) message to a control on your Oxygen 25 keyboard:

4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.

5. Enter 134 (NRPN Coarse) using the number keys.

6. Press the Data 1 key.

7. Enter 6 using the number keys (or the MIDI CC).

8. Press the Data 2 key.

9. Enter the value to be transmitted via MIDI CC 98 (LSB) using the number keys.

10. Press the Data 3 key.

11. Enter the value to be transmitted via MIDI CC 99 (MSB) using the number keys.

12. Press the Enter key.

Non-Volatile Memory

The Oxygen 25 keyboard features non-volatile memory, which allows for automatic saving of presets when the device is powered off. The current controller and channel assignments are stored even if the Store function has not been used. The Program, Bank LSB and Bank MSB data, Global Channel setting, and last used memory preset are also stored.

Restoring the Factory Settings

Factory default settings can be restored by holding down the - and + buttons during power-up. At this point all previously saved data will be erased.
