Advanced Keyboard Functions

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 fader, key, button, etc.:
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key or the Select button.
3. Move or press the control corresponding to the control you would like to change or using the keys, enter the
numerical value of the control number.

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.
DirectLink Mode: Press the Auto button to go into DirectLink Mode. Knobs, buttons, < and >, and the fader will send
pre-programmed automapped messages. None of these parameters can be edited while in DirectLink Mode. For
some DAWs and programs, you may need to download DirectLink profiles 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, fader, or to the sustain pedal. The Data 1,
Data 2, and Data 3 keys define various related aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control.
Channel Assign: The Channel Assign function (Chan Asgn) assigns a knob, fader, button or the sustain pedal to a
specific MIDI channel.

control (for example, "c.0.2.").

When assigned to channel "0", the control (knob, fader, button or sustain pedal) 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.

MIDI controls, except for those that have a specific MIDI channel assigned to them.
