Congratulations on purchasing an M-Audio Oxygen Series keyboard. Oxygen keyboards now offer DirectLink, which

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.
A single USB connection not only sends MIDI data to the computer, but also provides power to the keyboard. All
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.
Please refer to Section 5 of this Guide for more information on keyboard setup (including optional driver installation),
and configuration of your recording application.
