7.Sliders:

Oxygen 88 features nine Sliders.

DirectLink Operation:

The first eight sliders automatically map to control the track volume for the currently selected bank of eight tracks in a qualified DAW application. The right-most Slider (C9) maps to the master volume fader.

Default Operation:

These sliders send different types of standard MIDI CC messages, or advanced MIDI messages (see Appendix B), based on the parameter they are assigned to, or the active preset. Each slider can be mapped to various parameters in your DAW, by using its MIDI Learn function (if available check the user documentation for your DAW), or by manual assignment as described in "Chapter 9: Advanced Programming Functions" on page 23.

8.Slider Buttons:

Oxygen 88 features nine Slider Buttons.

DirectLink Operation:

The first eight buttons map to the currently active bank of eight tracks within qualified DAW applications. Pressing a Slider button will mute the corresponding track. Pressing and holding the right-most Button (C26) places all other Slider buttons in Solo mode. While the right-most Button is held down, pressing another Slider button will solo the corresponding DAW track.

When using Pro Tools, the right-most Slider button (C26) also allows using the eight Oxygen 88 control knobs to adjust either the left, or the right pan knobs of stereo tracks. By default, the Oxygen 88 knobs control the left pan knobs of stereo tracks. However, when the right-most Slider button is held down, the Oxygen 88 knobs control the right pan knobs.
