addition of eight programmable rotary knobs) allow it to send virtually any type of MIDI controller information. Additionally, the M-Audio Ozone can operate as a “standalone” MIDI controller, independent of the computer. The rear panel MIDI port marked “Keyboard” is used for this purpose.
Within the M-Audio Ozone is a USB MIDI interface. Simply install the included drivers, plug the M-Audio Ozone into your computer’s USB port, and enable the MIDI interface within your music software. An additional MIDI output port, labeled “USB,” allows you to connect a MIDI sound module or drum machine so you can send MIDI messages directly from you computer to your sound modules.
In addition to its MIDI controller features, the M-Audio Ozone is a powerful audio interface.The Mic and Instrument inputs allow you to record vocals, guitars or anything else into your audio program or soft-sampler. A stereo Aux Input allows you to monitor or record stereo sources, while a pair of line outputs and a headphone out are perfect for monitoring playback of loops, soft synths, and all of your audio and MIDI tracks.
On a PC:You must be running Windows 98 SE or higher to properly use the M-Audio Ozone. Also, your motherboard must support USB or you will need to install a PCI to USB host adapter to provide the USB ports. It is possible for a motherboard to support USB and yet not have the physical port connectors installed. A simple USB back panel extender can be purchased at a computer supply store and can be installed easily to provide USB port connectors.
On a Mac:Your Mac must support USB with built-in native ports present. A Mac OS that supports USB will also be required. We recommend OS
9.2.2or higher.We cannot guarantee optimum performance of the device when using non-Apple USB ports.
IMPORTANT: For MacOS 9, an OMS MIDI driver is provided. You MUST have a sequencer program that supports OMS, and have OMS (also included) properly installed in order to use the M-Audio Ozone.
