Changing the Function of the Knobs in DAW Mode
Note: Not all parameters are available in every DAW.
When operating in DAW Mode, the knobs can perform one of three functions.
To change how the knobs work, hold the Shift Button and press Pad 9, 10, or 11. The following functions are
available:
Pan (Pad 9): Each knob will pan the corresponding software track (track 1–32, depending on which knob is turned
and which bank is selected).
Device (Pad 10): Each knob will control device controls of the corresponding software track (track 1–32, depending
on which knob is turned and which bank is selected).
Sends (Pad 11): Each knob will control the level of the aux sends for the corresponding software track (track 1–32,
depending on which knob is turned and which bank is selected).
Accessing DAW Shortcuts with the Pads
Note: Not all parameters are available in every DAW.
In DAW Mode, pressing a pad will send a Note On message so that you can trigger a synth or sample in your
software. However, you can hold Shift and press Pads 13, 14, 15, or 16 to perform the following commands:
Save (Pad 13): Save changes to the currently open file in your DAW.
Quantize (Pad 14): Quantize the currently selected audio region in your DAW.
Undo (Pad 15): Undo the last change made to the file in your DAW.
View (Pad 16): Toggle between different windows (e.g. Mix, or Edit) for your DAW.
Important: In order for these shortcuts to work with your DAW, PC needs to be set to Win (Windows) or Mac in
Oxygen Pro 49's Global Settings menu. To access the Global Settings menu on the Display, hold Shift and press
the Mode Button. Use the Select/Scroll Encoder to adjust the setting according to your PC type, and then press
the Back Button to exit the menu.
Using Custom Mappings
Oxygen Pro 49 has many fully customizable controls, and with the ability to create and save keyboard
mappings, you can store different mappings for different DAWs, plugins, or performance scenarios that can
be changed on the fly.
When operating in Preset Mode, there are 16 presets available on the keyboard (1–16). A preset is a group
of MIDI assignments for Oxygen Pro 49's controls that can be saved to the keyboard's internal memory and
loaded at a later time. Presets can be edited when the keyboard is in Preset Edit Mode. In addition to having
these 16 presets on the keyboard, you can use the included Editor software to store an unlimited number of
presets on your computer and modify which 16 are currently saved to the keyboard's internal memory.
When operating in DAW Mode, the User setting allows you create a custom mapping for the keyboard that
includes not only MIDI messages but also Mackie or Mackie/HUI messages. This allows you to map
keyboard controls with commands for the DAW itself (such as "Save" or "Mute") in addition to mapping
keyboard controls with MIDI assignments for instrument/plug-in parameters within the DAW. The User DAW
setting can be edited when the keyboard is in DAW Edit Mode. In addition to having the User DAW on the
keyboard, you can use the included Editor software to store an unlimited number of User DAWs on your
computer and modify which one is currently saved to the keyboard's internal memory.
To enter Preset Edit Mode, first select the preset you want to edit (as described in Setup > Setting the
Keyboard's Operation Mode). Then press and hold Shift and press the Preset Button.
To enter DAW Edit Mode, press and hold Shift and press the DAW Button.
To exit Edit Mode and save your changes, press the Preset Button (if you were editing presets) or the
DAW BUTTON (if you were editing the User DAW setting).
If you made changes, the Display screen will ask if you would like to save them. Use the Select/Scroll
Encoder to choose between Cancel, Replace, and Save As. Selecting Cancel will take you back to Edit
Mode, while selecting Replace will save the preset without changing its name. Select Save As to be able to
rename and change the preset location number of the preset using the Select/Scroll Encoder. If you need
to delete a character while editing the name, press and hold the Shift Button and the Back Button.
For help using the Preset Editor, see the Editor User Guide that comes with the software.
