About DirectLink:

Once installed and configured, DirectLink automatically maps many of the top panel controls of Oxygen Series keyboards to their corresponding functions in supported recording applications.

Where applicable, the following section will explain both, the operation of these controls when using DirectLink, as well as their default MIDI assignments.

Top Panel

1. Pitch Bend Wheel:

This wheel creates expressive changes in performances by raising and lowering pitch. Rolling the Pitch Bend wheel upward will raise an instrument’s pitch whereas rolling it downward will lower the pitch. The upper and lower pitch bend limit is determined by settings on your hardware or software synthesizer, not by the Pitch Bend wheel on the Oxygen Series keyboard itself. Typically, this can be either a half note or an octave up/down. This wheel is spring mounted and will return to the center detente position when released.

The Pitch Bend wheel is an assignable controller capable of sending a variety of MIDI messages other than pitch bend data. See Appendix A for a list of parameters the Pitch Bend wheel can be assigned to.

2. Modulation Wheel:

This wheel is used to add expression to performances by changing the intensity of certain effects. By default, most synthesizers assign this wheel to control vibrato (change in intonation) or tremolo (change in volume) although it is usually possible to reassign the function of this wheel through the instrument’s control panel.

Rolling the Modulation Wheel upward will increase the modulation effect, while rolling downward will reduce the effect.

The Modulation Wheel is an assignable controller capable of sending a variety of MIDI messages other than Modulation data. See Appendix A for a list of parameters the Modulation wheel can be assigned to.
