Assigning MIDI Machine Control (MMC) Transport Controls to Buttons - Oxygen Series
Text size [-] [+]

The assignable transport buttons on the Oxygen Series (blue & silver) keyboards can be configured to remotely control the transport functions of some hardware recording devices and DAW applications that support MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands. MMC is a specialized transport control protocol and requires a somewhat different configuration method.

The following values need to be specified:

Note: Default Preset 9 on the Oxygen 8v2 and Oxygen 49/61 (silver) keyboards is setup to send MMC Commands

The following example will configure a button to send the MMC command "Play":

  1. Press to select an assignable button
  2. Press the Advanced button
  3. Press the Control Assign key
  4. Type 149 using the number keys. This sets the button to send MMC (MIDI Machine Control)
  5. Press the Enter key
  6. Press the Advanced button
  7. Press the Channel Assign key
  8. Enter 127 (Poly On) using the number keys. This ensures all receiving devices will respond to the MMC messages
  9. Press the Enter key
  10. Press the Advanced button
  11. Press the Data 2 key
  12. Enter a number from the chart below to select the MMC command for the button. This determines which transport function will be controlled by this button. For example, enter "2" for the Play command
  13. Press the Enter key
