MIDIMAN OXYGEN8 Details
THE PORTABLE SOFT
SYNTH CONTROLLER:
Oxygen 8 is a new breed of controller. Designed to meet the needs of today¹s
electronic musicians, Oxygen 8 puts you in control of any 8 MIDI-assignable
parameters within your favorite software programs. Oxygen 8 is also a USB MIDI
interface that speaks directly with your computer without any extra devices.
You don¹t need a MIDI interface for this keyboard interface.
SOFT SYNTHS
The software synth is here to stay, and along with it comes dozens of
parameters begging to be tweeked. Until now you¹ve been trapped with only a
single mouse to do everything. Oxygen 8 puts your hands on any 8 parameters of
your choice in real time.
GETTING DEEPER
Oxygen 8 makes it possible for you to get deeper into your software programs,
to get more out of them, to experiment and push them to their limits.
LIVE PERFORMANCE
Oxygen 8 will give you more freedom on the stage than you¹ve ever had before,
dynamically increasing the possibilities available to you.
PROGRAMMING DRUMS
Instead of taking hours to program drums with a mouse, use Oxygen 8 to play
grooves into your program in real time. Use the 8 knobs to manipulate the
dynamics, feel, and FX.
HARDWARE ACCESS
Synthesists can use Oxygen 8 to gain access to, and to automate parameters that
exist deep within their hardware, making it easier to get more out of them
without having to navigate through dozens of menus.
