slider buttons, pan knobs, and transport controls to their corresponding functions in the application.
A single USB connection not only sends MIDI data to the computer, but also provides power to the keyboard.
Oxygen 88 functions as a class-compliant device 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),
