Initial Setup - DAW Setup
Your Oxygen Pro Mini has the ability to control all of your DAW's faders, buttons, knobs, and
pads, as well as all of your virtual instrument controls. In order to have these controls set
properly, we'll first need to get your Oxygen Pro Mini to set to the correct DAW.
1. Press and hold the DAW Button to open the DAW Select menu on the Display.
2. Turn the Select/Scroll Encoder to cycle through the available DAWs on the Display. As
you turn the Encoder, the currently selected DAW will update on the Display. The User
option enables you to map custom DAW controls to the keyboard, as described in the
Basic Concepts
3. When the DAW you want is shown on the Display, press the Select/Scroll Encoder to
confirm your selection.
Note: To exit out of DAW Selection Mode without changing the currently selected DAW,
press the Back Button.
Most DAWs will automatically recognize the Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard, and automatically
configure your Oxygen Pro Mini's controls as a control surface in DAW mode, and virtual
instrument controller in Preset mode.
If your DAW does not automatically configure your Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard, please follow
the setup steps listed in the
Initial Setup – Virtual Instrument/Plugin Setup
Now that you've selected the correct DAW, we'll set your Oxygen Pro Mini to work with all of
the Virtual Instrument plugins included with your Oxygen Pro Mini, and any other Virtual
Instrument plugins you may have.
1. Press and hold the PRESET Button to open the PRESET Select menu on the Display.
2. Turn the Select/Scroll Encoder to cycle through the available Presets on the Display. As
you turn the Encoder, the currently selected Preset will appear on the Display. You can
create your own custom virtual instrument presets, as described in the
section.
3. When the Preset you want is shown on the Display, press the Select/Scroll Encoder to
confirm your selection.
Note: To exit out of Preset Selection Mode without changing the currently selected Preset,
press the Back Button.
There are Presets for all of the Virtual Instruments included with your Oxygen Pro Mini. For
Virtual Instruments that aren't included with your Oxygen Pro Mini, we suggest using MPC
Beats as a plugin wrapper in your favorite DAW, and the Oxygen Pro Mini's MPC PI preset.
MPC Beats opens as a plugin in all mainstream DAWs to merge the best of all DAW worlds.
This gives you the freedom to use MPC Beats as a soft synth/Virtual Instrument plugin
wrapper, enabling you to have all of your Oxygen Pro Mini's controls auto-mapped to your
favorite soft synth/Virtual Instrument plugin.
To download the included MPC Beats software, follow the instructions on the included
software download card.
