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’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, 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 drivers.

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.

Advanced Keyboard Functions

The advanced keyboard functions are briefly listed below. To learn more about the advanced functions, please see
the full User Guide, available at m-audio.com/oxygen25.

Edit Button: The Edit button is used to access the advanced Oxygen 25 functions located on the keybed. Pressing
the Edit button switches your keyboard into Edit Mode. You can use the keys to select various advanced functions
and enter data.

To change the functionality of a Slider, Key, Knob, etc.:

1. Press the Edit button.

2. Press the CTRL SEL (Control Select) key.

3. Move or press the control corresponding to the control you would like to change.

4. Press the corresponding key of the parameter you would like to change (CTRL ASGN, DATA 1, DATA 2, etc.)

5. Use the numeric keys to enter the value of the parameter.

Snapshot: Press the Shift button and the Auto button simultaneously to engage the Snapshot function. The
Snapshot function sends out the assigned MIDI Message and current value of all controls on the MIDI channel that a
control is set to. This feature lets you record current settings of the controls into your sequencer.

Auto Mode: Press the Auto button to go into Auto Mode. Knobs, Buttons, and the Slider will send pre-programmed
automapped messages. None of these parameters can be edited while in Auto Mode. Before using Auto Mode, you
will need to install the DirectLink drivers from m-audio.com/directlink.

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 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.

Global Channel: The Global Channel function (GLOBAL CHAN) sets the default MIDI channel for the keyboard and
all MIDI controls, except for those that have a specific MIDI channel assigned to them.

Channel Assign: The Channel Assign function (CHAN ASGN) assigns a Knob, Slider, Button or the Sustain Pedal
jack to a specific MIDI channel.

Program: This function sends Program Change MIDI messages on the Global Channel and can be used to select
different sound presets contained within your virtual instrument or sound module.

Bank LSB: The Bank LSB function sends bank change messages on the Global MIDI channel. These messages are
used to access additional banks of sound patches on virtual instruments or sound modules (if additional banks are
available).

Bank MSB: The Bank MSB function sends bank change messages on the Global MIDI channel. These messages
are used to access additional banks of sound patches on virtual instruments or sound modules (if additional banks
are available).

Memory Dump: The SysEx Memory Dump function (MEM DUMP) will send the contents of all Preset memory
locations for storage in a DAW application. Please refer to the documentation provided with your DAW software for
information on how to record SysEx MIDI 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. This setting lets you decide how the force with which you hit a key or pad affects the volume at which a
note plays.

Store: The Store function saves control assignment settings to one of the memory locations.
IMPORTANT: Storing new assignment settings will overwrite the contents of the selected memory location.

Number Keys: This section of the keyboard is used to type in numerical parameter values while in Edit mode.

Enter Key: The Enter key confirms changes made and exits Edit mode.

Factory Reset: Power on the unit while holding down the Octave + and – buttons.

Instalación

Conexión del teclado

1. Enchufa el cable USB provisto con tu teclado Oxygen 25 a un puerto USB libre en tu ordenador.

2. Enchufa el otro extremo del cable USB en la entrada USB del teclado Oxygen 25.

El cable USB no solo alimenta el teclado, sino que también envía y recibe datos MIDI del ordenador. Si intentas usar
tu Oxygen 25 con un hub USB, verifica que este utilice una fuente de alimentación externa. Un hub USB pasivo sin
fuente de alimentación puede no suministrar la energía suficiente si tiene otros dispositivos conectados. No

recomendamos conectar un interface de audio al mismo hub USB que el Oxygen 25.

También puede utilizar el Oxygen 25 con su iPad Camera Connection Kit (Kit de conexión de cámara para iPad) para controlar
las aplicaciones de creación de música compatibles. El iPad Camera Connection Kit está disponible en Apple Store.

Instalaciones de DirectLink

En lugar de asignar los parámetros uno por uno, al activarse el modo DirectLink de Oxygen, se mapean
automáticamente sus controles a muchas de las características y ajustes de uso más frecuente de la estación de
trabajo de audio digital (DAW). Cuando lo usa con una DAW compatible, es posible controlar el transporte, los
controles de mezcla (faders y balanceo) y los parámetros de plug-in de procesamiento de señales o instrumentos
virtuales. Además, es posible conmutar entre DirectLink y la operación MIDI personalizada sobre la marcha, a fin de
satisfacer sus necesidades particulares.

Para habilitar DirectLink con su Oxygen, es necesario instalar software adicional, incluida la "personalidad" de
DirectLink correspondiente a su DAW específica. Visite m-audio.com/directlink para obtener una lista actualizada
de las DAW compatibles con DirectLink y para descargar los drivers necesarios.

Primeros pasos

Conéctelo a su computadora y luego abra su software. En los menús de Preferences (Preferencias), Options
(Opciones) o Device Set-Up (Configuración de dispositivo) de su software, seleccione el Oxygen 25.
