For example, if you want to change the value of the velocity offset, first press the MIDI/SELECT button and then the velocity key. Second, change the data entry slider to the value you want. Finally, press the MIDI/SELECT button again to finish the change.

To assign any MIDI control value to the data slider:

1.Pree the MIDI/Select button

2.Press the CC No. key (low B)

3.Press the number keys to choose the MIDI controller number

4.Press the Enter key

5.Press the MIDI/Select button to finish your selection.

For a chart of MIDI control change values, see Appendix A of this manual.

You can also use the data slider to send this MIDI controller information in realtime.When the Oxygen 8 powers up, the DATA ENTRY slider defaults to a MIDI controller value of 7. A Controller 7 message is the equivalent of a MIDI volume message. Once you’ve selected one of the keys that represents a controller value, i.e., velocity, aftertouch, pan pot, etc., or assigned a value using the number keys, the DATA ENTRY key then takes on that value and will transmit that type of controller information when the slider is moved

SET CTRL key: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button and then the SET CTRL key will allow you to begin programming the rotary control knobs. In order to change the value of each knob (1 - 8), you need to do as follows:

1.Press MIDI/SELECT, then the Set Controller key, F3 (marked “SET CTRL.)” The display will show a small “n” to indicate that the desired controller knob “number” should be entered next.

2.Choose the number of the desired controller knob using the number key group (1 - 8). Then press the Enter key. The display will show a “P” in anticipation of the “parameter” number.

3.Assign the desired MIDI controller parameter number using the number key group (1-127), then press Enter.The display will show a “C” in anticipation of the MIDI “channel” number. See chart,“Appendix A.”

4.Assign the MIDI channel number on number key group (1-16) then press Enter.This channel assignment will apply only to the controller knob that you are programming.

5.You can select up to five banks of presets for the Oxygen 8’s keyboard, P1- P5, by pressing the MIDI/SELECT button. This is primarily effective for stand-alone mode, not for all soft-synth presets.

Finally,Press MIDI/SELECT key again to finish assigning values to the controller knob.

RESET key: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button, the RESET key, then the Enter key will send out a message to return all external MIDI instruments to their default setting. Press the MIDI/SELECT button again to complete the process.
