Page 16 TIP: It’s possible to have any combination of the existing sequencer modes on the 4 available sequencer slots. ––––––––––––––––––––– Turn OFF OXI One by holding the power button for at least 2 seconds. It will remember its last state after the next startup: loaded project and conﬁguration. BATTERY The battery icon shows a rough estimation of the battery status.
Page 17 INTERFACE OVERVIEW GRID The grid has 128 RGB LED lit pads. On power up, the Sequencer View is displayed. Depending on the selected sequencer Mode, each column of pads represents a step of the sequence and each row represents a note (in Mono, Poly and Chord modes) or a track (in Multitrack mode). Other sequencer modes like Stochastic and Matriceal have their own grid representation.
Page 18 Fourth line: in this last line you can see the parameters the encoders modify when there is no other menu opened. When the SHIFT button is held, the secondary functions of the encoders are shown in the main screen as follows: SHIFT BUTTON SHIFT in combination with any other function button, activates its secondary function.
Page 19 NOTE: The MIDI In Channel Filtering setting deﬁnes how OXI One routes the input MIDI data to the diﬀerent sequencers. MIDI OUTPUT Deﬁnes where the Sequencer MIDI data is sent : ALL, TRS, USB or BLE destinations. This setting doesn’t aﬀect the CV-Gate outputs.
Page 20 The grid will take Velocity and gate last values (from the last placed step or the OXI One keyboard) as default for the new steps. In Gate values, after the maximum value of 100 you have TIE, to set two steps as tied notes.
Page 21 ––––––––––––––––––––– TIP: To tie notes quickly hold one pad on the grid and tap another pad on the same row of the grid, this will tie steps in between both tapped pads.
Page 22 SEQUENCER DATA Each Sequencer (1 to 4) has its own global parameters that are conﬁgurable independently per Sequencer and saved per pattern: · Sequencer view and steps pages · MIDI channel conﬁguration (up to 32 tracks on diﬀerent channels, 32 channels available for the USB output in two separate virtual ports and up to 48 MIDI channels using the OXI Split).
Page 23 · Most parameters don’t require conﬁrmation by pressing the encoder button. Some do require conﬁrmation. · In general, pressing the encoder button resets the corresponding parameter to its default value in most of the menus. In some functions shift + press will reset the value to default. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS VELOCITY Turning the VEL encoder changes the velocity value for all the steps of the selected Sequencer (or the...

Depending on this setting Mute works as follows: Toggle Instant Mute + sequencer press: activates or deactivates the sequencer playback.
Page 29 Play/Pause button behavior can be set in conﬁg as: “OFF”, or pause disabled “ON”, pause enabled. When the OXI One is playing, a tap on Play will Pause all the sequencers. “RESET”, instead of Pausing, tapping the Play button when the OXI One is running will reset the playback head of all sequencers according to their punch in settings.
Page 30 TRANSPORT CC COMMANDS In order to control the Transport of a DAW or any other device when OXI One is not the Master (thus realtime messages are ignored by the master), you can assign a MIDI CC message to Stop, Play and Rec.
Page 31 16 will show 80, 32 will show 96 and so on. The page button will be lit up in blue in this case. OXI One makes it more ﬂuent to navigate between the 4 ﬁrst pages or the last 4 pages, since it takes into account which of them you are on before switching to another block.

Page 36 When the LOOP is active in a speciﬁc sequencer, the Init and End point markers are constantly displayed, albeit slightly dimmed to ensure visibility of active notes at these points. You can set the INIT/END of a LOOP by choosing pads on the grid also with the init and end button held. TIP: You can LOOP within a Snapshot and Snapshot within a LOOP.
Page 37 Random Time Division introduces division changes to give more or less unpredictable rhythms to your sequence. If active, the Sequencer will be out of sync but it still follows the clock tempo. In Multitrack mode, this parameter aﬀects ALL tracks. Time Division.
Page 38 In Multitrack mode instead of Random Octave you have Random Gate, it doesn’t aﬀect the TIEs. In Matriceal and Multitrack modes Random Perform parameters are independent per track. Random Perform can be enabled/disabled on individual tracks in Multitrack mode. Pressing the Random Button, the ﬁrst column will light up orange.
Page 39 Second set of parameters (Encoder press to toggle between them): Random scale: if “Yes”, it randomizes the scale and root note of the sequencer. Humanize introduces time oﬀset, gate and velocity variations on the generated pattern. Ties: sets the probability amount of TIED notes appearing. The Random Generator is destructive, it works from the start to the end points of the pattern, overwriting what is there.

Page 42 To save a sequence, hold the Save button, Memory Access view for the current project will show up on the grid. This layout is independent of the Sequencer you have selected. The 4 top rows of pads of the grid show the Patterns, one row per Sequencer. Each slot contains one pattern of one single sequencer.
Page 43 (when the arranger is OFF) or immediately if OXI One is stopped. If the load quantization is OFF, the new pattern will be instantly loaded in sync with the previous one, and the playhead will keep its previous position. Otherwise, the pattern will be loaded when the quantization happens, and the playhead resets from the beginning.
Page 44 · Every slot can store one pattern. The sequencer MODE (Mono, Chord, etc.) is part of the stored data, so diﬀerent patterns of the same sequencer could be of diﬀerent modes. The sequencer will automatically change its mode when the pattern is loaded.

Page 47 CHANGE PATTERN WITH PROGRAM CHANGE new 4.0 You can assign a Global MIDI channel to accept Program Change (PC) messages, with values ranging from 1 to 16. This can be set in the PC (Program Change) receive global Channel option located within the MIDI settings of the conﬁguration menu.
Page 48 The isomorphic layout has been added in the 3.0 update. The main diﬀerence with the classic layout is that there is a ﬁxed interval between one pad and the one just above it. This interval can be a perfect 4th or a perfect 5th. This rule makes sure that the notes are arranged in a completely diﬀerent way.
Page 49 Isomorphic layout in 4ths, C Chromatic Scale. Isomorphic layout in 5ths, Major Scale. In isomorphic layout the base note is Highlighted (except in chromatic scale). The encoders in this mode modiﬁes: Velocity of the notes triggered from the keyboard. Pitch Bend. Works as a pitch bend of a keyboard. Press the encoder to set it to 0.
Page 50 OXI One will place them in the correct row even if the row is not currently visible on the grid.
Page 51 Keyboard will be shown as well. Unless in chord and polyphonic modes that have their own built-in arpeggiator. Each Sequencer has one arpeggio that can run independently of what is playing on the Sequencer. - Turn it ON with encoder 1 and continue turning CW to choose the arpeggio mode or algorithm.

When one note is on a higher or lower octave, a led will light up on the top or bottom row indicating the higher or lower pitch, the note will be also visible on its respective row, so it helps you to have all the notes at sight and controlled.
Page 54 STEP PARAMETERS Hold one or more notes at the same time (active or not) to see their step parameters and the note information. You can change with each encoder the Velocity, Octave (a pad will light up on the edge of the column as indication of the octave positive or negative oﬀset),...
Page 55 LOCKED the step is not aﬀected by any modulation or randomization source at all. For example velocity, gate or pitch randomizations or modulations won’t aﬀect this step. Random generator and Euclidean generator don't aﬀect steps with FIXED or LOCKED logic conditions.
Page 56 You can quickly transpose the whole chord progression by holding the respective Sequencer button and pressing an empty pad higher or lower than an active one. The distance from the active note to your pressed pad in the column will dictate the transposition direction and distance.
Page 57 A double tap on the Step-Chord button (steady white light) will enable the step submenu, which can be seen by holding one or several steps at once. You can also press SHIFT + hold a step to access this second layer of step parameters.
Page 58 CHORD BUILT-IN ARPEGGIATOR updated Chord mode features a built-in arpeggiator that uses chord notes as inputs, oﬀering a unique way to generate musical phrases. When used alongside the rhythm generator and groove engine, it enables the creation of compelling musical textures. Arp parameters are stored within the pattern data and can be recalled per pattern.
Page 59 ––––––––––––––––––––– USER CHORD SLOTS Once you have found one chord you like, you can store it on the top row. The root note, type, inversion and spread value will be stored in one of the 12 available slots. To store one chord into one slot, hold the chord pad (not the modiﬁers) and then hold the chord slot for 2 seconds.

Page 62 Watch the Multitrack tutorial here. The Multitrack Sequencer is one of the biggest values of the OXI ONE, with its 8 separate tracks it's perfect for drawing drum patterns or monophonic melodies as well to have direct control of them in one layout.
Page 63 In Multitrack mode instead of Random Octave you have Random Gate, it doesn’t aﬀect the TIEs. For example, this is handy to use the LFO to send velocity modulation on a hi-hat track and not aﬀect other tracks. SELECTED TRACK & MULTITRACK EDITING In Multitrack mode, the function buttons aﬀect by default the selected track.
Page 64 CLEAR SINGLE OR ALL TRACKS Press SHIFT + Clear to erase all the note events of the selected track. Or press SHIFT and long press Clear to fully reset all tracks. Steps information, time division, length and note oﬀset will be set to default values but MIDI channels and MOD destinations of every track won’t be aﬀected.

Page 72 STOCHASTIC The stochastic mode is a generative mode to generate rhythmic and melodic ideas in a controlled random way. In this mode, the grid acts as an interface to parametrize a stochastic pattern generator. Although the playhead movement is shown on the grid, it has no positional relation to the controls of the generator. It is, in fact, playing an invisible evolving pattern that you can lock if you choose to.
Page 73 The higher the pitch probability, the higher chance to get new notes! Many existing functions in the OXI One work in this mode as well, like Random Perform, Time division settings, CV-Gate layout, MOD lanes, etc.
Page 74 This way, diﬀerent parameters can be decoupled from each other. Assigning diﬀerent lengths and speeds to diﬀerent parameter lanes can create evolving and complex patterns with very few steps; this is the magic of the Matriceal mode. And you have 4 tracks in one single sequencer to experiment with!
Page 75 Global Track settings From left to right: Track MIDI Channel, by default it is the same as the sequencer channel. Track Note oﬀset, by default it is the same as the sequencer root note. It is the base note. Track RLength, deﬁnes the Reset-Length of the sequence (in trigger steps plus pulses), by resetting every parameter playhead on this track Track clear, as the name suggests, clears every parameter page on the track.
Page 76 Start and End points, hold Init and End buttons and tap any step on the matrix to set them. Time division. This setting is available in each parameter screen. Playback direction. This setting is also available in each parameter screen. Randomize can also occur by holding the parameter step settings button and pressing the random button.
Page 77 INTERVAL (salmon pink) The interval lane is one of the most interesting features of this mode. Instead of deﬁning a static pitch value, it is an accumulative value that deﬁnes the next interval or position of the selected scale.
Page 78 Interval lane settings The Interval step screen is equivalent to the note step screen. Interval step options TIP: Play with subtle interval variations mixed with simple pitch sequences with diﬀerent speed and length to get a simple but evolving melodic idea. PULSES (orange) This parameter draws inspiration from classic sequencers like the M185.
Page 79 Gates can go from 5% of the step length to 100%. After that you’ll ﬁnd TIE and LEGATO. TIE combines two consecutive triggers in one single note and LEGATO adds the Legato eﬀect where the Note On of the next note is sent before the Note Oﬀ...
Page 80 Determines the number of note repetitions within the step duration when there’s a new trigger and the chance of that happening. You can also set the step to SKIP by turning counter clockwise, which skips one trigger pulse. This introduces more rhythmic variation and it’s another way of decoupling triggers from other parameters.
Page 81 MATRICEAL KEYBOARD A keyboard is available to trigger notes on the ﬁrst tracks assigned MIDI channel only. The keyboard can not be used to record into Matriceal lanes, it is available to play over the Matriceal output.
Page 82 ﬁnal pitch is based on the active chord progression of the “Leader” HARMO SETUP Set at least one of the sequencers in Chord or Poly modes. When there is one sequencer in Chord or Poly mode, the other sequencers (in Mono, Poly, Multitrack or Stochastic modes) will have a new scale option available: HARMON.
Page 83 So, if there’s a step in C3 and another in C2 in the Follower sequencer, the resulting notes after the harmonizer engine are one octave from each other (not necessarily a C, it depends on the chord). But if instead of a C2 or a D2, a B2 is set (still lower than C2), the resulting note depends on the chord that the master is playing at that moment, and it can result in a higher pitch note.
Page 84 MOD LANES Press the MOD button to enter the modulation layout. There are 4 independent modulation lanes per sequencer (8 in Multitrack Mode). The modulation lanes can be used for diﬀerent purposes: To automate or manually control MIDI parameters: CCs, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and Program Changes To automate or manually modulate internal parameters described in the Internal destinations table.
Page 85 If the selected track is one of the ﬁrst four (1 - 4), the MOD menu will show the modulation lanes of tracks 1 to 4. And if the selected track is one of the last four (5 - 8), it will show the information of these last four.
Page 86 0 means the smooth factor is ‘Oﬀ’ and the modulation instantly jumps from one step value to the next one. This parameter aﬀects the CV outputs as well when a MOD Lane is assigned to a CV in the CV Gate view.
Page 87 Furthermore, incoming MIDI messages from external devices like Pitch bend can also be recorded, provided that the message kind and value on your external device corresponds to the one set on the MOD lane (ensure to match the MIDI channel of your sequencer if you are ﬁltering by MIDI channels in your conﬁguration).
Page 88 PER STEP MODULATION If you press any step, the modulation value will be automatically set. For ﬁner adjustments you can hold any pad of the grid and use the encoders. When doing so, the screen will show the 4 modulation values of that step, you can modify any of them with the encoders.
Page 89 CV INPUT CV TO MIDI The CV input on your OXI One serves a dual role as both a Start-Stop/Reset In and CV modulation input. It can be ﬂexibly routed to either aﬀect internal parameters or be redirected to send Control Change (CC) and other MIDI commands to external MIDI devices.
Page 90 ● TRACK only works on Multitrack and Matriceal sequencers, and lets you select the track (or tracks in Multitrack mode) aﬀected by the incoming signal (example: mute several tracks, control the random amount in one or more tracks to create ﬁlls, etc.) ● CC FWRD Out. Stands for CC Forwarded message to the MIDI Outputs.

Page 97 The countdown will be shown according to the selected setting: 2 Bar, 1 Bar, 1/2 Bar, Beat or Oﬀ. If the OXI One is stopped, it will start playing after the Countdown when you hit Play. If the selected sequencer is inactive, it will start playing after the countdown. Otherwise, it will start recording immediately and the countdown will just serve as a time reference, but it won’t prevent...
Page 98 EXTERNAL NOTE INPUT When the OXI One is stopped, press the Rec button and the step recording will be enabled. Then, in the sequencer view, keep any step pressed and any input MIDI note from an external source (MIDI keyboard or controller) will be recorded into the pattern.
Page 99 RECORDING QUANTIZATION OXI One can record in quantized or unquantized ways. Recording can be done from the built-in keyboard or from an external controller or MIDI hardware. Quantization can be toggled ON/OFF by pressing SHIFT + REC inside the Rec Settings Menu.
Page 100 CV GATE Conﬁguration SHIFT + LFO opens the CV Gate grid layout. This mode is shared by all Sequencers to avoid overlapping routings, so this conﬁguration is unique for the project and it is not saved per pattern. There’re 8 cvs and 8 gates that can be fully conﬁgurable in real time with playback on, this means you can use this layout as an innovative tool for performance.
Page 101 By default, the pitch of the ﬁrst voice (or track if it’s a Multitrack mode sequencer) is selected when activating one CV or the Gate of the ﬁrst voice/track when activating one Gate. The OXI One will automatically increase the voice/track number when assigning additional CV/Gate Outputs on that Sequencer.
Page 102 The second parameter is note oﬀset in semitones. The fourth parameter speciﬁes the CV voltage format. It can be either: V/Oct (most modular and semimodular systems). From -3 to +5 V. Hz/V (Korg standard pitch tracking). From 0 to +5 V. 1.2V (Buchla standard pitch tracking).
Page 103 Not Gated: the voltage of this output is always proportional to the velocity of the last note. TRIG ENVELOPE In the OXI One we have introduced Triggered Envelopes, a kind of ADSR envelope that changes dynamically with the sequence step settings.
Page 104 The Attack can be manually adjusted in the CV setting or modulated by any of the following sources: Sequencer’s LFO (access from the LFO Button) Any of the sequencer’s MOD lanes (access from the MOD Button) In case of tied notes the release will be deﬁned by the Gate length of the last tied note. Ties can be adjusted from the Grid view or from the global gate encoder on the grid.
Page 105 4.0.6 Outputs a 50% pulse clock signal at the chosen clock division, independent from the sequence division. The clock division is 1/16th by default. Clock trigger width is one half of the chosen clock value. ACCENT new 4.0.6 The gate level goes high when the velocity of a note within the pattern reaches the Threshold value.
Page 106 MIDI CC to CV for MODULATION OXI One also allows you to map CC and Aftertouch MIDI messages from external sources to any of the CV outputs. This feature enables the conversion of digital signals from MIDI controllers or Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) into analog signals suitable for modular synthesizers.
Page 107 CV INPUT OXI One has one CV input which also acts as Start-Stop / Reset In. You need a TRS to TR-TR splitter to be able to use this input. Double tap the MOD button to enter the EXT MOD MATRIX menu where you can choose the CV input routing options.

Page 109 ARRANGER This is the place to create your Songs, link several patterns or launch them manually. To activate the Arranger playback hold SHIFT + Arranger, you'll see “Arranger ON” on the screen. The Arranger is then ready for playback. Turn OFF Arranger from playing with the same command. The Arranger is deactivated once you play Stop.
Page 110 When the pattern playhead has met the launch quantization settings, the play count decreases by one. When the repetition count reaches 0 the next pattern is loaded. In case of the Multitrack mode, track number 1 is taken as the reference one.
Page 111 On the main screen you can see on the right the countdown for each arrangement track pattern to change to the next one and a progress bar of it. If the current pattern is looped a round arrow will indicate this.
Page 112 Press LOAD + any arranger slot. MASTER LANE The master lane is the one that controls the progression of the arrangement. Any of the 4 sequencers can act as the master. The sequencer set to master will carry the progression of the arrangement, so the other sequencers move to the same slot of the master independently of the pattern length and slots repetitions.
Page 113 Clip Launch a diﬀerent pattern on the Master Lane and you will see that, at the same time the master sequencer changes to the next slot, the others sequencers will follow.

Page 117 MIDI: OXI One follows the clock timing received through the MIDI TRS jack or MIDI Bluetooth. CLK: OXI One follows the clock timing received through the clock input. OXI One reads and outputs MIDI clock according to a 24 ppq timing. The analog clock input and output resolutions can be changed in the Conﬁg menu.
Page 118 OXI One is playing and low when stopped. On the other hand, when Sync is set to Clk the OXI One will only play if the run-stop or start-stop input signal is high and stop otherwise.
Page 119 CONFIGURATION This menu shows global parameters that aﬀect OXI One as a whole. Some of them are presented as customization options so the user has the best experience with the instrument. You can choose what options adapt best to you.

Page 121 ● Taps count for tempo. Sets the number of taps that are taken into account for calculating the new BPM value. Inﬁnite means that the average calculated tempo is never reset thus oﬀering a smoother transition. On the contrary, a smaller value will oﬀer more immediate tempo adjustments. ●...
Page 122 ○ Host+Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host providing power to other USB devices. ○ Host No Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host without providing power. Required by some USB adaptors. ○ Device Self Powered: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Device without getting power from the USB outlet.
Page 123 MIDI ROUTING By default OXI One will MIDI Thru messages from one source to another. For example, the MIDI data received via Bluetooth MIDI (BLE MIDI) will be output through USB MIDI, TRS MIDI output and, if any CV/gate assigned to a sequencer, to the respective CVs or gates.
Page 124 This way you have a total of 48 MIDI channels at your disposal. All the MIDI information received by the OXI One (from any of the MIDI sources: USB In, TRS In or BLE In) will be sent through the THRU port of the OXI Split if the Thru Setting of that MIDI source (USB, TRS or BLE) is active in settings.
Page 125 CV/Reset inputs of the OXI One. It doesn’t add any extra signal to the OXI One. Both Pipe and One’s outputs can be used simultaneously (like a passive Mult), but inputs should not be used at the same time on the One itself and the Pipe.
Page 126 MIDI BLUETOOTH OXI One incorporates MIDI over Bluetooth (BLE) and it is a dual role device. There are two ways of using it. Note: For optimal performance with iOS, Mac or Windows devices, we strongly recommend using any kind of dongle like the WIDI Master, WIDI Jack or WIDI UHost (for USB MIDI devices like iPads). The BLE MIDI performance in Android is slightly better.
Page 127 PERIPHERAL ROLE On the other hand, OXI One can be connected to other central devices like iOS or Android devices, computers (Mac and Win natively support MIDI Bluetooth in their recent versions) and other Central devices like CME WIDI Master.
Page 128 Go to the Bluetooth settings by pressing on the Bluetooth icon. (Sometimes this menu is found inside other menus, like the MIDI settings menu). Select OXI ONE BLE and give it a few seconds to establish the connection. It will be ready to use! ANDROID The process is equivalent to the one described for iOS.
Page 129 ● Host+Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host providing power to other USB devices. ● Host No Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host without providing power. Required by some USB adaptors. ● Device Self Powered: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Device without getting power from the USB outlet.
Page 130 Some devices like the Roli Seaboard work with a USB C to C cable. No need for any adaptor. A simple USB C to A adaptor is another great solution to use the OXI One as a USB Host and power supply.

Page 132 Both have 4 modulation lanes. Mono can only have one active note per step meanwhile Poly can have up to 7 active notes per step. Then, why would you use a Mono track? Since a mono track can only have one active note per step at a time, it is convenient for quick changes on the melody, when for example you have a one-voice lead or when you are sequencing a mono synth.
Page 133 glide control aﬀects all the steps or the track, if you use Multitrack with all tracks set to the same MIDI channel, you will have 8 Modulation lanes available to send along with 8 note polyphony.
Page 134 MONOME GRID Keep the SHIFT button pressed when powering on your OXI One to enable the operation as a 128 GRID device. To go back to normal operation, restart your OXI One by pressing the power button.

Page 144 OXI ONE SEQUENCER COLORS You can personalize the color of the grid pads in any sequencer. To conﬁgure the desired color go to the 3rd page of Sequencer Setup (press SHIFT + Sequencer Number 3 times) and you will be able to select the color you want.
Page 145 PROBLEM DURING UPDATE (BRICKED OXI One) If the update procedure fails you can do the following: Force power oﬀ by keeping pressed the power button. Turn the OXI One in update mode. To do so, press MUTE and then power On again. Repeat the procedure.
Page 146 It is also possible to back up your projects on your computer and send them back later to the OXI One. STOP THE PLAYBACK IN THE OXI ONE AND AVOID SENDING ANY MIDI DATA TO IT FROM ANY SOURCE !! Select the project you want to backup and press GET PROJECT.
Page 147 Make sure to use a good reference like a 5 digit multimeter or a well tuned VCO (with V/Oct CV input) along with a Tuner. To enter calibration mode, press SHIFT + cv gate for more than 2 seconds until OXI One switches to calibration mode indicated in the screen.
Page 148 Press it repeatedly until the voltage oﬀset is +-0.003V (+-3mV) oﬀ the expected value. Once you have ﬁnished with all the points of the calibration curve, press C8 to save. _______________________________________________ You have to repeat the process with all the CV outputs. Every CV listens to a diﬀerent MIDI channel, CV1 listens to MIDI Channel 1 and CV2, to the MIDI channel 2 and so on, until CV8 in channel 8.
