Contained within the Oxygen 8 is a USB MIDI interface. Simply plug the Oxygen
8 into your computer’s USB port, install the included drivers and enable the
MIDI interface within your music software. This combination of a versatile
keyboard controller and a USB MIDI interface allows you record and control
MIDI information within your music application, plus adds a MIDI output port to
which you can connect a MIDI sound module or drum machine.The rear panel
MIDI port marked “USB” is used for this purpose.
The Oxygen 8 may be powered by one of three sources: external power supply,
internal batteries, or “parasitically” from the voltage it receives from the USB
port. For the most consistent perfomance, we recommend using a power supply
or batteries, even when using the Oxygen 8 with your computer’s USB port.To
power from the USB port only, plug the Oxygen 8 directly into the computer’s
USB port, or into a powered USB hub.When using the Oxygen 8 in standalone
mode, a power supply or batteries must be used. Six AA-size batteries are
required when using battery power. When using an external power supply
(optional), it is important to use only a supply with the proper 9vDC, 500ma
rating.These may be purchased locally or through MIDIMAN.
O n a PC: You must be running Windows 98 or higher to properly use the
Oxygen 8. Also, your motherboard must support USB or you will need to install
a PCI to USB host adapter to provide the USB ports. It is possible for a
motherboard to support USB and yet not have the physical port connectors
installed. A simple USB back panel extender can be purchased at a computer
supply store and can be installed easily to provide USB port connectors.
On an Apple Com puter: Your Apple must support USB with the built-in native
ports present. Standard iMac’s or G3/G4’s with USB ports will work just fine. A Mac
OS that supports USB will also be required.We recommend OS 9.2.2 or higher.We
cannot guarantee performance of device when using non-Apple USB ports.
IMPORTANT: For MacOS 9, an OMS MIDI driver is provided. You MUST have
a sequencer program that supports OMS, and have OMS properly installed
in order to use the Oxygen 8.
What’s in the Box
Included in your Oxygen 8, you should find:
1. Oxygen 8 USB Keystation MIDI Controller
2. One (1) standard USB cable
3. PC and Mac driver disk

Guide to Getting Started
Here’s an outline of steps to begin using your Oxygen 8 on either Mac or PC:
1. Attach the Oxygen 8 to your computer (see “Hardware Installation”).
2. Install the Driver (see “Software Installation”).
3. Hook your sound module to the Oxygen 8 (see “Setting UpYour MIDI Studio”).
4. Configure the Oxygen 8 in your application software (see “Using the
Oxygen 8 in your Application Software”).
Hardware Installation
Installing your Oxygen 8 means simply attaching it to your USB port using the
standard USB cable that is included. We recommend that you power down (turn
off) your computer for a first time installation. If you are using the Oxygen 8 in
USB mode, a power supply is not required—the computer’s USB port provides
the power to run the Oxygen 8. The “wall-wart” or battery supply is only
necessary for use in the standalone mode. However, when the Oxygen 8 receives
its power from the USB port, we recommend either plugging directly into the
computer’s USB port (not into the keyboard’s port or a powered USB hub.)
Find a good spot around your computer station to place the Oxygen 8. The USB
port on your computer is a small (1/8” x 3/8”), rectangular connector (A) and
is usually found in a group of two. The other end (B) of your USB cable is ‘more
square’ (1/4” x 1/4”) in shape, and should fit easily into the USB connector on
your Oxygen 8. Take the (A) end of the USB cable and plug it into the USB port
on the back of your computer. Take the (B) end of the USB cable and plug it in
to the USB port on the back panel of the Oxygen 8.
Next,power up your computer and proceed to the next section,“Software Installation.”
Software Installation
MIDI application software communicates with devices such as the MIDI interface
contained within the Oxygen 8 via software known as “drivers.” This software
driver is a special, dedicated program that makes a MIDI interface accessible to an
application. On the included driver disk, M-Audio supplies the drivers that enable
you to use Oxygen 8 with either Windows, Mac OS9 or Mac OSX. Oxygen 8
drivers are supplied on the included dual format CD.
USB Driver Installation for Windows
This driver for the Oxygen 8 USB interface requires Windows 98 or higher.
Please make sure that Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP is installed on your
system, and that your USB port is enabled. Check your computer manual for
more information.

First Time OMS Configuration Instructions
If you have installed the Oxygen 8 in Mac OS 9, it is now time to configure OMS
(this is not necessary in Mac OS X). Go to the Chooser under the Apple Menu,
and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended, although OMS will
sense that it is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are installing your
Oxygen 8’s KEYSTATION driver and configuring OMS for the first time, follow
these instructions to configure OMS.
1. In the Opcode folder, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS
Applications folder, then OMS Setup. Double click on OMS Setup.
2. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK.
3. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK.
4. The “OMS Driver Search” box asks you to choose the port on which you’ve
attached the Oxygen 8 (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port
(since we’re using USB), just click “Search.” OMS begins Searching.
IMPORTANT: If the USB cable is not correctly hooked up to the Oxygen 8, setup will fail.
5. “OMS Driver Setup” shows the Oxygen 8 KEYSTATION in a list when OMS
successfully finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows
“Identifying”) the Oxygen 8 output port.
7. The “OMS MIDI Device Setup” dialog box will appear showing the Oxygen
8’s output port (labeled KEYSTATION) with an open check box to the left
of the port. You will now have to check this open box to enable the output
port. Click on OK.
8. Next, the “My Studio Setup” appears with a file save dialog box over it. You will
now need to name and save your new Studio Setup (or use the default name)
before you can assign an instrument to the Oxygen 8’s output (labeled
KEYSTATION). Assign your instrument (this step is optional) and you are done.
You can run the OMS ‘Test Studio’ utility by going to the ‘Studio’ menu and
releasing the mouse on “Test Studio.” Playing a note on your keyboard will give
you an audio message from your computer, “MIDI received,” while the arrow
pointing to the keyboard icon flashes. Clicking on the keyboard icon with the
mouse pointer will send a tone cluster to the Oxygen 8 output port.The LED
will light, and the sound module connected to the Oxygen 8 MIDI Out port
should play the chord.
You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.The rest is up to the
configuration within your music software. Generally, this means selecting “OMS
Compatibility,” or “Open Music System” for your MIDI system setup.
Setting Up Your MIDI Studio
A typical MIDI system set-up would include your Oxygen 8, a computer, MIDI
sequencing software and/or a MIDI compatible sound module. This type of
set-up can be connected as follows:
12
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
1. The Oxygen 8 is connected to the computer via the USB port connectors,
using the supplied USB standard cable.
2. The Oxygen 8 can play the synthesizer that is part of an internal sound card,
as well as any software synthesizers that are installed in your system.This will
depend on how you set up your software (see section “Using the Oxygen 8
in your Application Software.”) The audio output of the sound card can be
plugged directly into a sound system, or into a mixer, which is then
connected to a sound system.
3. The MIDI Output of the Oxygen 8 is connected to the MIDI In of a sound
module. The audio output of the sound module can be plugged directly into
a sound system, or into a mixer, which is then connected to a sound system.
In the following set-up, the Oxygen 8 is being used as a MIDI controller as well
as a MIDI interface, inputting MIDI data to the computer and its application
software, and outputting MIDI to a sound module from which sounds will be
produced.The Oxygen 8 as a controller may also send MIDI information to an
existing internal soundcard’s MIDI synthesizer or any installed software
synthesizer, outputting the audio from the computer soundcard.
In this scenario, it may not be necessary to apply external power to the Oxygen
8.With the power switch set to “Power Off,” the Oxygen 8 receives power from
the USB port on your computer. It is recommended that you either plug directly
into the USB port on the computer, or use a powered USB hub.You may also
choose to use power from batteries or an external power supply.
Additionally, the Oxygen 8 may be used as a “standalone” keyboard controller,
independent of the computer and its USB port. In this case, the Oxygen 8 must
receive power from either a power supply or batteries, by switching the power
setting on from the rear panel.Also, you will want to use the MIDI out port that
is labeled “Keyboard.” A setup such as this may be used in a performance
situation, or when you wish to use the keyboard without the computer.

Using the Oxygen 8 in your Application Software
Once the Oxygen 8 driver has been installed, you will need to configure your
MIDI application software to utilize the Oxygen 8. The manner in which this is
done varies between applications, so we can just cover the basics here.
Generally with both the Mac and PC, most MIDI applications have a MIDI port
configuration or settings dialog box, sometimes called “MIDI Devices” or “MIDI
Setup.” It is within this dialog box that you will select or enable your MIDI input
and output devices.
If the Oxygen 8 drivers are properly installed, then the port selection in this case
will be the KEYSTATION In-1 (or “Port 1” on the Mac) in the input column, and
then KEYSTATION Out-1 (or Port 1) in the output column. Input 1 (or Port 1),
corresponds to the information that will be sent from the Oxygen 8 keyboard to
your computer. Output 1 (or Port 1), corresponds to the MIDI information sent
from your music application to the physical MIDI output on your Oxygen 8 that is
marked “USB.” Make sure that those items are highlighted or checked.The output
port that you select on a specific MIDI track within your sequence will output MIDI
information to the keyboard or sound module that is attached to that port.
Oxygen 8 MIDI Functions
MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrum ent Digital Interface, which
makes all digital musical instruments equipped with this standardized interface
able to exchange their MIDI data or “talk to each other.”
To explain how MIDI works on your instrument in more detail, the following
descriptions outline the MIDI functions of the Oxygen 8, which allow you to
connect the keyboard to other MIDI instruments and to your computer. The
versatile MIDI capability of the Oxygen 8 will offer you tremendous power in a
MIDI environment.
The keys on the Oxygen 8, in conjunction with the MIDI/SELECT button, give
you the extra programming capability that is unique to the Keystation series of
MIDI controllers.You can use the Data Entry key to enter in values, or the keys
that are lableled with numbers.The keys labeled for specific MIDI functions can
be used to assign that function to the data slider.The “Set Ctrl” key can be used
with the numeric value keys to program the rotary faders to send MIDI
controller information on specific MIDI channels.
MIDI Functions In Standalone Mode
To transmit MIDI data from your keyboard to other professional MIDI instruments,
purchase a standard MIDI cable and use it to connect the MIDI OUT jack of your
Oxygen 8 labeled “Keyboard” to the MIDI IN jack of the other instrument.

1. Power up the Oxygen 8, using either a 9vDC adapter or using 6AA batteries.
Set the power switch to the the 9V/Battery setting. If a 9V power adapter is
present, the Oxygen 8 will use power from the adapter. If a 9V adapter is not
present, and the Oxygen 8 has the required battery power, the unit will
power up using the batteries.
2. Make sure that the MIDI port ”transmit” channel within you music
application matches the MIDI “receive” channel of the other instrument.
3. Please refer to the diagram in the section,“Setting UpYour MIDI Studio” for
audio connections.

1. Using the Pitch Bend Wheel: The Pitch Bend wheel is used for raising or
lowering the pitch of a voice during performance, starting from and always
returning to a center “detent” point.The range of pitch values depends on
the sound generator (sound card or module) being used. Please refer to the
15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
manuals of your devices for information on how to change the Pitch Bend
range. To bend the pitch up, move the wheel away from you. To bend the
pitch down, move the wheel towards you.
2. Using the ModulationWheel:It is very common to use the modulation wheel
to change the intensity of effects, such as Vibrato (pitch change), Tremolo
(change in volume), and Modulation (change in tone).The Modulation Wheel
produces a vibrato effect shortly after the sound is generated, and is most
effective for solo instruments such as saxophone, strings, and oboe. Similar
to the pitch wheel, the actual effect and range of that effect will be set within
your MIDI sound module.
3. Data Entry Slider: This slide controller allows you to adjust the value of
parameters such as Volume,Velocity, Aftertouch, and virtually any assignable
MIDI control parameter directly from your keyboard. Setting the data slider
is covered in the next section.
4. MIDI/SELECT button: Use this button to select different MIDI commands using
certain keys from your keyboard.Activating this key is indicated by a lit LED on
the MIDI/Select button.When MIDI/SELECT is activated, the keyboard becomes
a set of function keys for setting MIDI parameter commands.
5. Octave Up & Down / Preset buttons: Pressing these buttons during normal
use will allow you to select the octave orientation of the Oxygen 8’s
keyboard. Following a pressing of the MIDI/SELECT button, they allow you,
instead, to select the preset-bank setting (P1-P5) of the Oxygen 8’s keyboard.
Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button again, after a preset-bank selection, will
return these buttons to their normal octave-select function.
6. Rotary Controller Knobs: These eight programmable rotary knobs can be
used to send any MIDI controller data on any MIDI channel.This is perfect
for use with hardware and software synthesizers, for automating software
mixers, or for controlling any devices that will respond to MIDI commands.
In the next section, the “Set Controller Key” instructions will show you how
to program this special feature.
7. Key Programming Assignments:After pressing the MIDI/SELECT button, the
keys on the Oxygen 8 become function keys that allow you to assign
particular MIDI parameters as well as Program Change and MIDI Channel
selections using the numbered key group.
Utilizing the Key Programming Assignment Keys
This section contains the information you will need to program the Oxygen 8,
and to send any MIDI parameter data from the Oxygen 8 keyboard.You may set
the data slider to send MIDI controller data of your choice, send program change
data from the keyboard, select the MIDI transmit channel of the Oxygen 8, set
the octave or pitch of the keyboard, and program the eight rotary controllers.
DATA ENTRY assignm ents: Pressing the MIDI/SELECT button then pressing
a key labeled by its MIDI function (such as velocity offset, aftertouch, reverb
depth, pan pot, volume, CC data) and then moving the data entry slider, allows
you to select the transmitting value of the chosen function.

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.
