Advanced Keyboard Functions

The advanced keyboard functions are briefly listed below. To learn more about the advanced functions, please see the full User
Guide, available at m-audio.com/oxygen61.
Edit Button: The Edit button is used to access the advanced Oxygen 61 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 Slider, Key, Knob, etc.:
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the CTRL SEL (Control Select) key.
3. Move or press the control corresponding to the control you would like to change.
4. Press the corresponding key of the parameter you would like to change (CTRL ASGN, DATA 1, DATA 2, etc.)
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.
Auto Mode: Press the Auto button to go into Auto Mode. Knobs, Buttons, and Sliders will send pre-programmed automapped
messages. None of these parameters can be edited while in Auto Mode. Before using Auto Mode, you will need to install the
DirectLink drivers 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, Slider, or to the Sustain Pedal jack. The Data 1, Data 2, and
Data 3 keys define various related aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control.
Global Channel: The Global Channel function (GLOBAL CHAN) sets the default MIDI channel for the keyboard and all MIDI
controls, except for those that have a specific MIDI channel assigned to them.
Channel Assign: The Channel Assign function (CHAN ASGN) assigns a Knob, Slider, Button or the Sustain Pedal jack to a
specific MIDI channel.
Program: This function sends Program Change MIDI messages on the Global Channel and can be used to select different
sound presets contained within your virtual instrument or sound module.
Bank LSB: The Bank LSB function sends bank change messages on the Global MIDI channel. These messages are used to
access additional banks of sound presets on virtual instruments or sound modules (if additional banks are available).
Bank MSB: The Bank MSB function sends bank change messages on the Global MIDI channel. These messages are used to
access additional banks of sound presets on virtual instruments or sound modules (if additional banks are available).
Memory Dump: The SysEx Memory Dump function (MEM DUMP) will send the contents of all Preset memory locations for
storage in a DAW application. Please refer to the documentation provided with your DAW software for information on how to
record SysEx MIDI data.
Panic: Press the Edit button followed by the Panic key to send an "All Notes Off" message on all 16 MIDI channels. This stops
any stuck notes that continue to play even after their keys have been released.
Velocity Curve: The Velocity Curve Select key (VEL CURVE) is used to change the touch sensitivity of the keyboard. This
setting lets you decide how the force with which you hit a key or pad affects the volume at which a note plays.
Store: The Store function saves control assignment settings to one of the memory locations.
IMPORTANT: Storing new assignment settings will overwrite the contents of the selected memory location.
Number Keys: This section of the keyboard is used to type in numerical parameter values while in Edit mode.
Enter Key: The Enter key confirms changes made and exits Edit mode.
Cancel: Pressing the Cancel key will exit Edit mode, discarding all changes.
Drawbar Mode: This parameter switches all the sliders to Drawbar Mode. In this mode, the operation of the sliders is reversed,
so that the maximum value (127) is at the bottom and the minimum value (0) is at the top. This feature is intended for use with
organ presets that utilize drawbars.
Device ID: The Device ID function (DEV ID) allows the assignment of a unique SysEx Device ID to differentiate between
multiple MIDI devices of the same model when sending or receiving SysEx data.
Factory Reset: Power on the unit while holding down the Octave + and – buttons.
