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

2.Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB input on the Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard.

Software

We’ve included MPC Beats, Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition, and Ableton Live Lite with your Oxygen Pro Mini so you can get started making music with professional software right out of the box. Additionally, we’ve included a set of Expansion Packs and AIR virtual instrument plugins for you to use with your DAW.

1.Keybed: Using the Octave buttons, you can access the full 88-note keyboard range of a large piano keyboard. The Oxygen Pro Mini keybed has 2 1/2 playable octaves. The range of the keyboard is approximately in the middle of an 88-note keyboard.

2.OCTAVE +/-: The assignable octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or down in oneoctave increments (12 semitones at a time). This extends the range of the keyboard up to four octaves in either direction, which lets you play notes that lie outside of the 32 keys. Hold Shift and press these buttons to adjust the pitch range of the keys up or down one semitone. To return the octave shift to 0, press both the Octave buttons together.

3.PITCH Wheel: Roll this wheel up and down from the center position to bend the pitch of the keyboard while playing. The default range of the pitch-bend will vary between software synths. The wheel is spring mounted and will return to the center position when released.

The tempo setting affects the keyboard’s arpeggiator and note repeat functions.

18.NOTE REPEAT [LATCH] Button: Press this button to activate the note repeat function for the Pads. To latch the note repeat function, hold Shift and then press this button. While Note Repeat is active, use the Select/Scroll Encoder to change the current Time Division setting of the Arpeggiator and pad Note Repeat.

Rear Panel

1. USB Port: When connected to a computer, the USB port delivers power to the keyboard and transmits MIDI data.

2. Sustain Pedal Input: This input accepts a momentary-contact foot pedal (not included). When pressed, the pedal by default will sustain the sound you are playing without you having to keep your fingers pressed down on the keys. The sustain pedal input can be remapped to perform a custom MIDI assignment.

Note: The polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup. When an Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the "up" (Off) position. It is important that the sustain pedal is not in the down position before starting up the keyboard, as the pedal will then operate in reverse, and notes will sustain when the pedal is not pressed.

3.MIDI Out: Use a 1/8” TRS to 5-pin MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect this port to a hardware synth or other MIDI device.

Note: The MIDI output port can send MIDI from the Oxygen Pro Mini, your connected computer, or both. Go into the Global Settings to set what is sent to the MIDI Out.
