Setting the Keyboard’s Operation Mode
Once you’ve set up Oxygen Pro 49 to work with your DAW, it’s time to set the keyboard’s operation Mode.
By choosing the operation Mode, you can set the keyboard to automatically coordinate with your DAW’s
features or set it to work as a personally customized controller. With these two Modes, Oxygen Pro 49 gives
you the option to quickly switch between controlling a plugin to controlling your DAW with just the touch of
a button.
The two operation Modes determine the function of the MIDI keyboard’s editable controls:
•
DAW
: In DAW Mode, the keyboard’s controls will be automatically mapped to sliders, buttons, knobs,
and pads in your DAW.
•
Preset
: In Preset Mode, the keyboard’s editable controls can be set to functions that you design
yourself. A number of individual preset mappings can be created and then saved to the keyboard’s
internal memory for you to load at a later time.
