Hardware Connections Audio ATTENTION: You must shut down your computer any time you wish to connect or disconnect the Ozonic from the system. Failure to do so may cause damage to either your computer’s or Ozonic’s FireWire ports. Please review the hot-plugging advisory at the beginning of this manual for additional information. Connect the Ozonic’s Line Outputs 1 and 2 to your amplifier, powered monitors or mixer. For two-channel stereo operation, the default outputs are channels 1 and 2.
Global Menus The following Control Panel features are available on all pages of the Control Panel: < Mixer Settings – The reset button returns the Control Panel settings to their default values. The Default Values for the Ozonic Control Panel are listed at the end of this section. The load, save and delete buttons will open a Windows or Mac file dialog box. To save a set of Control Panel settings, click the save button. Then, from the Save dialog box, name the setting and click “OK.
< Hardware Inputs – The mixer page also provides software level control for direct monitoring of Ozonic’s analog inputs. These pairs are labeled 1/2 in and 3/4 in. The software routing of the hardware inputs is the same process as for the software returns. Press 1/2 or 3/4 or both to select routing options. When you press one of the software buttons it will light, meaning that the audio signal is being routed to that pair of outputs.
The hardware page design and function will vary slightly, depending on your platform and operating system. Shown below is the hardware page from a Windows installation. < Sample Rate Detected – This field displays the detected sample rate that is being received. Ozonic will detect and display the sampling rate as set by your audio software or your computer’s operating system via the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) bus. < ASIO/WDM Buffer Size – This field allows you to select the buffer size you wish to work with.
Using Your Ozonic The following sections address a number of real-life situations that you may encounter while using your Ozonic. These brief tutorials should help guide you. Also check the M-Audio website from time to time for additional tutorials or FAQs. Setting Up Your Recording Levels < Using the Mic/Inst Inputs – Connect your microphone or instrument to the Ozonic’s back panel Mic or Inst input.
As mentioned earlier, with ASIO direct monitoring, the audio software will take control over the Ozonic mixer’s input channels. With manual direct monitoring, you must control the Ozonic mixer’s input channels manually. Here’s how: 1. 2. 3. 4. Open your audio software and the Ozonic Control Panel. In the Ozonic Control Panel, click the mixer tab. (Let’s assume that we’re monitoring with the analog Line Inputs 1 and 2.
If you are using a MIDI sound module or connecting to another piece of MIDI equipment, you will need to make sure that both your Ozonic keyboard and the receiving unit are set to the same MIDI channel. The Global MIDI Channel affects the keyboard, Program, and Bank Changes, plus whatever controllers have been set to respond to the global setting. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the EDIT button. Press the GLOB CHAN key. The LCD will display the “GLOB CHAN” symbol.
< Sustain and Expression Pedals Ozonic will use any polarity foot switch (not included) that is plugged into the Sustain input on the back of the keyboard. Ozonic will automatically detect the correct polarity on power up. If you want to reverse the polarity, just make sure the pedal is depressed when you switch on your Ozonic. The Volume input allows you to plug in an Expression pedal (not included).
< Saving and Organizing Presets Once you have familiarized yourself with the Ozonic keyboard presets, you may want to save and reorganize the order of Presets to suit your setup. Note that the factory presets are stored in ROM within the keyboard and can be restored at any time. To Recall a Preset: 1. 2. Press the BANK A/B button to select the bank of the desired preset. Recall the preset (A1-A10 or B1-B10) by pressing the corresponding memory button. To Store a Preset: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
< Assigning MIDI CC’s After you have selected the controller you wish to edit, you can change the assigned MIDI CC number in the following way: 1. 2. 3. Press the EDIT button, then the CTRL ASGN key. The LCD will indicate the currently assigned MIDI CC number. The “CC” symbol will also flash. Type in a new MIDI CC value using the numerical data entry keys. Press the ENTER key to confirm. < The Joystick Ozonic’s joystick has two dimensions, and four MIDI controllers associated with it.
To disengage MIDI Out from Host mode: 1. 2. Press the EDIT button. Press the MIDI OUT key. The ‘MIDI plug’ symbol will disappear from the LCD display. Advanced Programming Functions < Zones The Zone feature can be used to create up to three keyboards in one by splitting the keyboard into sections. Using Zone Edit mode, each of the three possible Zones can be assigned an upper and lower key limit to specify which section of the keyboard should be assigned to a specific Zone.
Programming the Controllers < Introduction to Programming Options Each of the Ozonic’s controllers can send MIDI CC, RPN/NRPN, GM 1&2, and SysEx messages. They can also be assigned to individual MIDI channels. MIDI CC (continuous controller) numbers are part of the standard MIDI specifications and are typically used to control the real-time changing of parameters in musical equipment. For a complete list of standard MIDI controller numbers from 0 to 131, please see Appendix E.
< The Buttons and Pedal: MIDI CC Description Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 0-119 Standard MIDI CC’s - Toggle Value 2 Value 2 120-127 Channel Mode Messages - Toggle Value 2 Value 2 128 Pitch Bend Range - Sensitivity Value - 129 Channel Fine Tune - Tuning Amount - 130 Channel Coarse Tune - Tuning Amount - 131 Channel Pressure - Pressure Amount - 132 RPN Coarse Value RPN LSB RPN MSB 133 RPN Fine Value RPN LSB RPN MSB 134 NRPN Coarse Value NRPN LSB NRPN MSB 135 NRPN Fin
When you press the CTRL ASGN key and a Group A controller is selected, the MIDI message you assign to the Group A controller will apply to all the Zones that are active at that time. This means the MIDI CC you have assigned to the Group A controller will be transmitted on all the channels the selected Zones were assigned to. To prevent the Group A controller from transmitting on more than one Zone, assign the Group A controller to “OFF”.
< Setting Toggle Values for the Buttons The 14 assignable buttons and the pedal can be assigned to toggle between two values. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press the EDIT button, followed by the DATA 2 (MIN) key. Type in “15” using the numerical data entry keys. Press the ENTER key to confirm. Press the DATA 3 (MAX) key. Type in “74” using the numerical data entry keys. Press the ENTER key to confirm. If you want the button to send the same value every time, enter the same value for both Minimum and Maximum.
Many data sheets for synths make use of NRPN messages and will give the MSB and LSB values that should be entered for DATA 3 and DATA 2 (See Appendix F). Some manuals may only give the hex values, but Ozonic requires the decimal value be entered. Convert hexadecimal values to decimal values using the Windows calculator; select Scientific mode, select Hex, then enter the hexadecimal value needed to convert. Press the Dec button to convert it to a decimal value.
MIDI Messages Explained < Program & Bank Changes The original GM MIDI specification allowed for only 128 voices, numbered from 0-127. It is possible to access a different voice by sending a Program Change. In order to expand on the GM set of voices, Bank Changes were devised. Each bank contains 128 patches that can be accessed using a Program Change. 16,384 available banks can be accessed by sending a 14-bit Bank Change message. The first 7 bits of this message are sent in a single byte known as the Bank LSB.
Troubleshooting The Ozonic has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range of systems and operating conditions. However, there are a virtually limitless number of operating scenarios, any of which could affect your system’s performance. Though this section cannot cover all possible issues you may encounter, we would like to offer you some suggestions for dealing with common problems. We recommend that you avoid connecting too many devices.
