custom virtual instrument presets, using the Oxygen Preset Editor Software .

There are Presets for all of the Virtual Instruments included with your Oxygen. For Virtual Instruments
that aren’t included with your Oxygen, we suggest using MPC Beats as a plugin wrapper in your
favorite DAW, and the Oxygen’s
Preset 1 - MPC PI preset. MPC Beats opens as a plugin in all
mainstream DAWs to merge the best of all DAW worlds. This gives you the freedom to use MPC
Beats as a soft synth/Virtual Instrument plugin wrapper, enabling you to have all of your Oxygen
controls auto-mapped to your favorite soft synth/Virtual Instrument plugin.
