Keyboard Tempo and Time Division
Oxygen Pro 25's tempo and time division settings determine the timing and rhythm for the note
repeat and arpeggiator features. When Clock is set to Internal in the Tempo Edit screen on the
Display, the keyboard's tempo can be tapped in or it can be entered exactly from within the Tempo
Edit screen. When Clock is set to External, the keyboard's tempo will automatically sync with your
DAW's tempo.
To tap in the keyboard's tempo, tap the Tempo Button two or more times at the desired BPM. The
Display will update with the new tempo as you tap the button.
Note: In order to tap in the keyboard's menu, the keyboard's Clock setting in the Tempo Edit menu
must be on Internal. If set to External, the keyboard's tempo will sync with your DAW.
To enter the Tempo Edit menu on the Display, press and hold the Tempo Button. Use the
Select/Scroll Encoder to change the Clock setting or enter in an internal keyboard tempo (20.0–
240.0). When you're done editing settings, press the Back Button to exit the Tempo Edit menu. See
Display Overview for more help on using the Select/Scroll Encoder with the Display's Edit menus.
Select Scroll Encoder and Note Repeat: 1/4–1/32T (Time Division): Press and hold Note Repeat
and turn the Scroll/Select Encoder to select the keyboard's time division setting for the note repeat
and arpeggiator functions.

Chord Mode

When you activate Chord Mode, pressing a single key or pad will play a full chord rather than only
one note. The key or pad you press will determine the root note in the chord, and the type of chord
selected will depend on the current settings.
The chord feature can be operated by turning the Select/Scroll Encoder to one of two Modes that
will determine the exact chord assigned to each key:
•
Smart Mode: In this Mode, you will first assign the keyboard to a musical key (e.g. D minor).
Then you will assign the desired voicing for the chords (what intervals will be included in the
chord, e.g. 1-3-5). Each key's chord voicing will then be automatically enharmonic to the
selected key.
•
Custom: In this Mode, you can determine the chord structure that will be assigned to each key
by manually playing it. For example, if you select this Mode, and play a 1-b3-5-b7 chord, every
key will then be assigned to play this chord structure. The note of the key you press will serve as
the root of the chord.
To activate or deactivate Chord Mode, press the Chord/Scale Button. While Chord Mode is
activated, the Chord/Scale Button will be lit.
To edit the Chord Mode settings, first hold Shift while pressing the Chord/Scale Button to enter
the Chord Edit menu on the Display. Then use the Select/Scroll Encoder to adjust settings (as
described in Display
the Chord Edit menu.
Alternatively, you can hold Shift while pressing keys C2–Bb3 if you are using the Smart chord Mode.
Note: By default, the keys are setup to play chords when Chord Mode is activated. However, in the
Global Settings menu this can be changed so that when Chord Mode is active, chords will play on
the keys or pads or both.
