4. Please refer to Chapter 5 of this guide for instructions on how to install the Oxygen Series Drivers The Oxygen keyboard does not trigger sounds in my music software Most programs have a MIDI activity indicator that can be used to confirm whether MIDI data from the keyboard is reaching the software If the software is not receiving any MIDI data be sure the controller is properly installed and is selected as a MIDI input device within your software Refer to the documentation for your DAW software to learn how to configure and select MIDI input devices If the MIDI activity display indicates that MIDI data is reaching your software then you may not be hearing sounds because the MIDI data is not being routed correctly through the software itself Refer to the documentation for your DAW software to learn how to route MIDI data properly When playing a virtual instrument loaded in my music software there is a noticeable delay before I hear any sound This delay is known as latency and it may be possible to reduce it through the Control Panel of your audio interface Please refer to your audio interface s User Guide to see if this is possible I have connected a sustain pedal to my Oxygen keyboard but its operation is reversed i e the notes sustain when the pedal isn t pressed but the notes stop sustaining once the pedal is pressed The polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup When the keyboard is

Each NRPN RPN has an associated 2 byte number The two bytes allow for 128 values each An RPN or NRPN message is made up of two parts The MSB and the LSB message Both of these messages together constitute an RPN or NRPN command This allows for 16 384 values in total MIDI controllers 98 and 99 represent the NRPN LSB and MSB respectively while 100 and 101 represent the RPN LSB and MSB messages see the MIDI controllers list in Appendix A To transmit an NRPN RPN message these LSB and MSB controller messages are sent along with their user specified values A further controller message and value needs to be sent to specify the coarse or fine value adjustment This is specified by controller number 6 data entry for coarse adjustments or number 38 for fine adjustments A list of NRPN s is usually given in the user s manual of any device that receives NRPN messages It is always necessary that the NRPN MSB and LSB be sent together Both will be specified in the device s manual but typically only in Hexadecimal format If this is the case you may refer to Appendix C for help translating the value to decimal Combining Two MIDI CC Numbers for 16 384 possible RPNs NRPNs A single MIDI CC provides 128 values or possible selections not enough to provide a sufficient number of unique RPN NRPNs for all manufacturers of MIDI equipment In order to make a large enough number of RPN and NRPN messages available for use by the many manufacturers of

Many of the controls on Oxygen series keyboards are fully programmable and can be assigned to any of these standard MIDI CC s However to simplify assignment of other more complex MIDI message types for example SysEx or RPN NRPN M Audio has appended such additional MIDI message types to the end of the MIDI CC number list extending it s range beyond 127 These additional messages can be assigned to Oxygen controls just as if they were standard MIDI CC s but using numbers in the range from 128 to 255 as listed in the tables in Appendix B Generally this is achieved by selecting the control for editing and assigning a 3 digit number This section provides examples of the typical control assignment procedure for knobs sliders buttons and the sustain pedal jack Assigning MIDI messages that are not explicitly mentioned in this section is done by using the same basic principle as given in the examples Appendix A lists the standard MIDI CC numbers from 0 to 127 and their corresponding General MIDI parameters Appendix B lists the additional M Audio specific MIDI assignment options 128 255 grouped by control type sliders amp knobs buttons amp sustain pedal jack as well as their corresponding data type and purpose NOTE Your Oxygen keyboard never transmits values outside the range specified by the MIDI protocol 0 127 The controller numbers from 128 255 are only used internally by your Oxygen keyboard This simplifies co
