Rear Panel

1. Power Switch: Use this switch to power Oxygen Pro 49
on or off.
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 49 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. USB Port: When connected to a computer, the USB port delivers power to the keyboard and transmits
MIDI data.
4. MIDI Out: Use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable to connect this port to a hardware synth or other MIDI
device.
Note: The MIDI output port can send MIDI from the Oxygen Pro 49, your connected computer, or both.
Go into the Global Settings to set what is sent to the MIDI Out.

5. Kensington Lock Connector: This connector is compatible with standard laptop-style Kensington
security cables for theft protection.

Operation

Display Overview
Main Display Screen
As you use the keyboard's Sliders, Knobs, Pads, and Function Buttons
while performing, the Display will update with the current bank for the last
used control, the name/number of the control, the current level applied by
the control (00–127, if applicable), and a graphical meter illustrating the
level (if applicable). While performing, the Display screen will have a black
background with white text.
Note: The Display shows the number of the software control, which does not always match the number of
the hardware control on your keyboard. For example, if the keyboard is set to Bank 3, and you turn Knob 1
on the keyboard, the Display will read Knob 20, since hardware Knob 1 controls software Knob 20 when
the keyboard is set to Bank 3.
As described in Features > Top
enabled with soft takeover. If you switch banks and a Slider or Knob
needs to be moved before it can take over its assigned control, the
Display illustrates this by showing a checkered, gray meter underneath
the control level. As pictured in the example to the right, the bank has just
been switched to Bank 2, and Slider 1 needs to be pushed all the way up
in order for it to begin controlling software Slider 10.
