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

3. Press the number keys to choose the MIDI controller number
4. Press the Enter key

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.
