DAW and Preset Mode 

 
Once you’ve set up your Oxygen keyboard to work with your DAW, it’s time to set the 
keyboard’s operation Mode, Preset or DAW. By choosing the operation Mode, you can quickly 
switch between the Oxygen controlling your DAW’s controls when DAW mode is active to 
controlling a soft synth/Virtual Instrument when Preset mode is active. 
 
These two operation Modes determine the function of the MIDI keyboard’s editable controls:  

 

DAW:

 In DAW Mode, the keyboard’s controls will be mapped to faders, buttons, knobs, 

and in some cases pads in your DAW.  

o

 

NC1:

 Mackie 1: Will send standard Mackie messages. Mackie control is typically 

used for DAWs like Cubase, Studio One, and Reaper. 

o

 

NC2:

 Mackie 2. Will send standard Mackie messages, but with higher resolution for 

the pan pots. If your DAW's pan isn't able to do a full sweep of the pan pot, use 
Mackie 2. Mackie control is typically used for DAWs like Cubase, Studio One, and 
Reaper. 

o

 

M|h:

 Mackie/HUI will send standard Mackie/HUI messages for DAWs like Pro Tools 

and Logic. 

o

 

N1:

 MIDI 1 will send 1 set of standard MIDI messages for use with Ableton. 

o

 

N2:

 MIDI 2 will send 1 set of standard MIDI messages for use with MPC Beats, and 

Reason. 

o

 

N3:

 MIDI 3 will send 1 set of standard MIDI messages for use with Ableton for 

controlling clip launching, and more advanced features. 

 

Preset:

 In Preset Mode, the keyboard’s controls will be mapped to faders, buttons, 

knobs, and pads in your selected Virtual Instrument. The keyboard’s editable controls 
can be set to functions that you design yourself. The following preset mappings can be 
edited using the Oxygen Preset Editor and then saved to the keyboard’s internal memory 
for you to load at a later time: 

o

 

MPC PI 

o

 

Hybrid 2 

o

 

Mini Grand 

o

 

Velvet

Xpand!2
