› Introduction to MIDI Programming Functions Introduction Before you begin exploring the MIDI section of the manual, please refer to the beginning of this guide and read the installation information. It is necessary to install the Oxygen and ensure it is working properly before you begin to work with the MIDI functions. Testing Your Oxygen keyboard with Your Computer Software We recommend that you verify that your software application is properly communicating with the Oxygen keyboard.
Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide English 8 › Function Buttons Defined Advanced The Advanced Functions feature will put the keyboard into Edit mode, and the keys on the key bed will then call up the assigned programming function written on the panel above them. When the Advanced Function button is pressed, and the keyboard enters edit mode, the LED screen will show three dots along the bottom of the display.
› Keybed Functions Defined Control Assign The Control Assign function assigns a MIDI controller message (MIDI CC) to a selected controller. To assign a MIDI CC to a selected controller: 1. Press the Advanced Function button. 2. Press the Control Assign key. 3. Enter the MIDI CC value with the numeric keys. 4. Press the Enter key. The controller that is affected by the Control Assign function is always the last used controller. By default, controller 1 is selected.
Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide The Control Select function selects a MIDI controller for parameter editing. Use the Control Select function to select a MIDI controller before assigning a MIDI CC number to that controller. To select a MIDI controller for editing, move the knob or fader that you want to edit. The last used controller is always the controller that is currently selected for editing. The second method to select a MIDI controller for editing: 1. Press the Advanced Function button 2.
Data 2 The Data 2 function is located on the key bed. The function of Data 2 depends on the MIDI CC that is currently assigned to the controller that is to be edited. Please refer to Appendix A where each assignable MIDI CC is listed, along with the Data 1, 2 and 3 functions. When editing Data 2 values, the range of values that can be selected is 0-127. It is possible to limit the range of the rotary dials and faders on your Oxygen keyboard. To assign minimum value to a knob or fader: 1.
Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide The Velocity Curve Select button selects the velocity curve that the keyboard will use to regulate each MIDI note.

Press the Memory Dump key. A stored Memory Dump can be played back to the Oxygen, and it will automatically read the preset settings from the file. The Memory Dump is standard memory data.
Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide English 10 › Advanced Programming Functions Introduction to Programming Options MIDI CC (continuous controller) numbers are part of the General MIDI specification 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 A. As mentioned in Section 6, many of the controls on the Oxygen range are fully programmable.

The Program, Bank LSB and Bank MSB data, Global Channel setting, MIDI Out from USB setting and last used memory preset are also stored.
Oxygen Keyboard Line User Guide Non-registered parameter numbers (NRPNs) are device-specific messages that enable the control of synths via MIDI. The MIDI specification defines parameter numbers to allow manufacturers to specify their own controllers. The more common of these have been registered by the MIDI Manufacturer's Association and are part of the MIDI specification (hence the term Registered Parameter Numbers – RPNs). (See Appendix F for additional information.
