Recalling Presets

Press the Preset “+” and “-” button to recall one of the preset memories. The LED will display the currently selected preset, preceded by a “p.” Press the button again to change the preset to the next one in the series.

The following is a list of the presets contained in the 5 memory locations.

01 GM Preset

04 Yamaha XG/Roland JV Preset

02 Reason Native

05 Undefined CC’s for MIDI learn*

03 Reason Mixer

 

 

*Some Applications do not have any default settings and require you to set the MIDI controllers for the application’s parameters yourself. This normally involves placing the application in MIDI Learn Mode, clicking on a controller and moving the dial. With such an application, it is recommended that you use controller numbers that tend not to have any function associated with them. Ableton Live is an example of an application that uses the MIDI Learn feature.

Saving and Organizing 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.

For example, let’s move preset 2 (“Reason Native”) to location 4 by carrying out the following procedure:

1.Recall preset 2 by pressing the Preset “+” and “-“ buttons accordingly.

2.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button. The keyboard will enter Program Mode.

3.Press the STORE key on the keyboard.

4.Type in “4” using the numerical data entry keys.

5.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

This will save or store the current setup to preset location 4.

If you want to reset the M-Audio O2 to the factory defaults, hold down the Preset “+” and “-” buttons while switching the keyboard on. NOTE: Restoring the Factory presets will erase all setups you have programmed and stored to memory.

You can also organize and store your presets on your computer using the Enigma software. This software is available as a free download at www. m-audio.com. Simply register your M-Audio product and follow the instructions from there.

Octave

The keyboard can be shifted up or down to give you access to a total of 11 octaves on the M-Audio O2.

1.Press “OCTAVE +” for every octave you want to shift the keyboard up.

2.Press “OCTAVE -” for every octave you want to shift the keyboard down.

Pitch Bend Control

The Pitch Bend is used to bend the notes played on the keyboard up or down. This allows phrases not normally associated with keyboard playing, such as guitar riffs, to be played.

Your sound source determines how far you can bend the note. It is typically set to 2 semitones but can be up to 2 octaves +/-. When you release the control, it will reset back to 0.

The Pitch Bend control on your M-Audio O2 keyboard is fully MIDI assignable. Please refer to the “Programming and Editing” section of the User Manual for more information.

Modulation Control

The Modulation control is used for modulation of the sound being played. This type of real-time controller was introduced on electronic keyboards to give the performer the option of adding vibrato to similar to acoustic instruments.

The Modulation control on your M-Audio O2 keyboard is fully MIDI assignable. Please refer to the “Programming and Editing” section of the User Manual for more information.
