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. This means that you can assign them to send all sorts of different MIDI messages. This is achieved by selecting the controller for programming and assigning a 3-digit number. Appendix A lists the numbers that can be assigned to different types of controllers on the Oxygen. It also defines the type of MIDI message that will be sent out if you assign each number to a controller. As you can see from Appendix A, there is a wide variety of MIDI messages that can be assigned to controllers. The uses of these messages will be explained in more detail in this section.

The assignable buttons and pedals have slightly different options from the faders or rotary dials.

The two charts show the transmit messages that can be programmed for each of the knobs, faders, and assignable buttons or pedal.

Please pay extra attention to the differences between programming the faders or knobs and programming the buttons or pedal.
