Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Oxygen 8, part of the USB Keystation series of MIDI controllers brought to you by M-Audio.You may use your Oxygen 8 in conjunction with a USB equipped PC or Macintosh computer and appropriate music software to enter a full range of MIDI note and controller information. You will be able to discover the wonderful world of Computer Music with a set of complete musical instruments from your sound card, sound modules, or workstation.
Contained within the Oxygen 8 is a USB MIDI interface. Simply plug the Oxygen 8 into your computer’s USB port, install the included drivers and enable the MIDI interface within your music software. This combination of a versatile keyboard controller and a USB MIDI interface allows you record and control MIDI information within your music application, plus adds a MIDI output port to which you can connect a MIDI sound module or drum machine.The rear panel MIDI port marked “USB” is used for this purpose.
Guide to Getting Started Here’s an outline of steps to begin using your Oxygen 8 on either Mac or PC: 1. 2. 3. 4. Attach the Oxygen 8 to your computer (see “Hardware Installation”).

system OS 9.2.2 or higher. Some updates are offered free to Apple owners. Please check the Apple website at http://www.info.apple.com for update information. OMS is a MIDI manager program that is made by Opcode. We have included it on the CD disk for your convenience, and also offer it as a free download from our website’s MIDISPORT drivers page. OMS is required to run the Oxygen 8 on the Macintosh in OS 9, and it is important that you install OMS before running the Oxygen 8 Installer.
First Time OMS Configuration Instructions If you have installed the Oxygen 8 in Mac OS 9, it is now time to configure OMS (this is not necessary in Mac OS X). Go to the Chooser under the Apple Menu, and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended, although OMS will sense that it is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are installing your Oxygen 8’s KEYSTATION driver and configuring OMS for the first time, follow these instructions to configure OMS. 1.
1. The Oxygen 8 is connected to the computer via the USB port connectors, using the supplied USB standard cable. 2. The Oxygen 8 can play the synthesizer that is part of an internal sound card, as well as any software synthesizers that are installed in your system.This will depend on how you set up your software (see section “Using the Oxygen 8 in your Application Software.
Using the Oxygen 8 in your Application Software Once the Oxygen 8 driver has been installed, you will need to configure your MIDI application software to utilize the Oxygen 8. The manner in which this is done varies between applications, so we can just cover the basics here. Generally with both the Mac and PC, most MIDI applications have a MIDI port configuration or settings dialog box, sometimes called “MIDI Devices” or “MIDI Setup.
1. Power up the Oxygen 8, using either a 9vDC adapter or using 6 AA batteries. Set the power switch to the the 9V/Battery setting. If a 9V power adapter is present, the Oxygen 8 will use power from the adapter. If a 9V adapter is not present, and the Oxygen 8 has the required battery power, the unit will power up using the batteries. 2. Make sure that the MIDI port ”transmit” channel within you music application matches the MIDI “receive” channel of the other instrument. 3.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. manuals of your devices for information on how to change the Pitch Bend range. To bend the pitch up, move the wheel away from you. To bend the pitch down, move the wheel towards you. Using the Modulation Wheel: It is very common to use the modulation wheel to change the intensity of effects, such as Vibrato (pitch change), Tremolo (change in volume), and Modulation (change in tone).
For example, if you want to change the value of the velocity offset, first press the MIDI/SELECT button and then the velocity key. Second, change the data entry slider to the value you want. Finally, press the MIDI/SELECT button again to finish the change. To assign any MIDI control value to the data slider: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Pree the MIDI/Select button Press the CC No.
“Flat” & “Sharp” keys: By pressing the MIDI/SELECT button and the flat or the sharp key, you will shift the active keyboard pitch one note (half-step) higher, or lower. For example, if you want to change the pitch 2 notes down, press MIDI/SELECT button and the “flat” key twice. Press the MIDI/SELECT button to finish the change. To change the Oxygen 8’s octave range, press the MIDI/SELECT button, then the “Octave Up” or “Octave Down” button however many times you wish to shift the octave range.
Rear Panel 1. Sustain jack: This jack allows you to connect an optional footswitch to the keyboard. When the footswitch is depressed, notes played on the keyboard will continuously sound as long as the footswitch is held, while MIDI controller information is sent from the Oxygen 8. 2. MIDI Out jack,“Keyboard”:This standard MIDI jack is a direct MIDI out from the keyboard in “standalone” mode, and is used to send MIDI messages to another MIDI instrument (such as sound module). 3.
