What I do want to do is to assign the knobs and sliders to controllers in my plugins. My problem is that I don't want to control the DAW (PT9) with Oxygen 49, I'm happy with my mouse. In Pro Tools, one sets the Oxygen 49 as a peripheral and it starts controlling the DAW with its sliders, buttons and whatnot. Drivers in Pro Tools 9 ships already with the software, so no need to install anything.

Oxygen 49 comes with this DirectLink thingy. My setup is Pro Tools 9 / MBox 2 Pro / MacBook Pro, and everything else in this setup works well and is in order.

The virtual instrument should be controllable with the Oxygen Pro series keyboard while in Preset mode.I recently purchased an M-Audio Oxygen 49 midi controller.

Then in the pull-down menu select a Virtual Instrument.

In Cubase, go to Project > Add Track > Instrument.

The Transport, Channel Faders, Mute, Solo, Select, Panning, Clip Play Row 1, Back, Encoder, and Bank Controls should be controllable with the Oxygen Pro series keyboard while in DAW mode.

This may be labeled as Mackie/HUIon a Mac.

In the ' MIDI Input' drop-down menu, select MIDIIN3 (Oxygen Pro #).

Click the + icon and select “ Mackie Control” from the pulldown menu.

This causes issues with the faders sending unwanted pitch messages. IMPORTANT: Do not have “ All MIDI In” active for MIDIIN3.

Click on the MIDI Port Setup, and select Oxygen Pro #, MIDIIN3 (Oxygen Pro #), and MIDIOUT3 as Visible, and Oxygen Pro # as Visible and All MIDI In Selected.

Click Studio and navigate to Studio Setup….

When in Preset mode all of the controls will be used for controlling Virtual Instrument parameters and controls. When in DAW mode all of the controls will be used for controlling DAW functions and controls. To provide the most versatile controller, the Oxygen Pro series has 2 modes, Preset and DAW mode. Your transport controls, faders, knobs, and DAW shortcuts will now have messages mapped for Cubase. Note: This setting is not available on the Oxygen Pro Mini, so this step can be ignored.

Use the Encoder and select Mac if you are using a macOS or Win if you are using a Windows OS.

Using the Encoder directly below the OLED screen, scroll to PC, and then press the Encoder to enter into selecting your OS.

Press and hold the Shift button, and press the Global button.

Using the Encoder directly below the OLED screen (#8), scroll to “ Cubase” and then press the Encoder to select it.

Note: On the Oxygen Pro Mini, and Oxygen Pro 25, press the Preset/DAW button when in DAW mode (button lit).

Press and hold the DAW button (#5) on your Oxygen Pro keyboard.

This can be found in your account after registering your keyboard, or on the product page for your Oxygen Pro.

Please Note: Before following the steps below, make sure you have the latest version of your Oxygen Pro firmware installed. Modified on: Mon, 3 Oct, 2022 at 11:26 AM Solution home M-Audio Support M-Audio | Oxygen Pro Series M-Audio Oxygen Pro Series | Setup in Cubase
