1 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing an M-Audio Oxygen Series keyboard. Oxygen keyboards now 

offer DirectLink, which provides support for Digital Audio Workstations (DAW)

 such as Pro Tools 8 

by automatically mapping the track and master volume sliders, slider buttons, pan knobs and 
transport controls to their corresponding functions in the program.

2 Installing Your Oxygen Series Keyboard

Oxygen Series keyboards function as class-compliant devices and will be recognized by your 
computer without the need to install additional drivers. Simply use the included USB cable to 
connect the keyboard to an available USB port on your computer and set the power switch to the 
On position. 

A note for Windows users:

 Additional drivers need to be installed if you are planning to 

simultaneously use the keyboard with other audio enabled class-compliant devices, or with more 
than one application at the same time. The latest Oxygen Series drivers are available from 
www.m-audio.com. Save the driver installation program to your harddrive before running it. 
Please refer to Section 5 - Setup in the Oxygen Series User Guide (on the included Oxygen 
Series Disk) for further information. 

3 Software Setup and Configuration

When using an Oxygen keyboard, you may need to configure your music software to receive 
MIDI data. This process varies from one application to another, but is usually done through a
