Mac OS X Installation Instructions

The class-compliant drivers built into Mac OS X provide full support for all features of Oxygen 88. This means that no additional software drivers are necessary (or available) when using Oxygen 88 on Mac OS X. Simply connect the controller keyboard to the computer using the supplied USB cable, configure your recording software, and start making music.

Host Software Configuration

When using Oxygen 88 with your computer, you may need to configure your music software to receive MIDI data. This process varies from one application to another, but is usually done through a "Preferences," "Setup," or "Options" menu. Please refer to the documentation for your DAW software to learn how to do this.

Because Oxygen 88 does not contain built-in sounds, pressing a key will only send MIDI data to the computer, giving instructions on when and how a note should play. A virtual instrument loaded onto a track of your DAW software then creates the sound, based on the instructions received from Oxygen 88. Please refer to the documentation for your DAW software for more details on using virtual instruments.
