If you want to reset the M-Audio O
Note: Restoring the Factory presets will erase all setups you have programmed and stored to memory.
You can also organize and store your presets on your computer using the Enigma software. This software is available as a free download at
www.m-audio.com. Simply register your M-Audio product and follow the instructions from there.
Sending a Snap Shot
Press the GLOBAL CHAN and MUTE buttons together to send a Snap Shot of the current controller assignments and their values.
When you send a Snap Shot, the data for an individual controller will be sent on the channel that controller has been assigned to.
Snap Shot is one way of synchronizing the receiving device with the faders and rotary controllers on your keyboard. The function can also be
used as a creative tool, often with interesting and surprising results.
This function can also be used to set up the control parameters at the start of a song. If you set all the
controller values to obtain the desired effect levels in your song, you can then record the Snap Shot to ensure the song will always play back
with the correct effect levels. To do this, put your sequencer into record mode and press the Snap Shot buttons.
Muting All Controllers
To Mute all rotary controllers and the fader, press the function button labelled MUTE.
This feature allows you to alter the position of the rotary controllers without affecting the settings of your
software. CTRL MUTE does not affect buttons, the foot switch or the keyboard. As soon as an assignable
button, a function key, or the keyboard is pressed, the controllers are turned back on. While Controller Mute
is engaged, the LED displays "Off"
Use this feature if you are switching between presets with the controllers out of position. You will be able to move the controller to a position
relative to the software's controller value, rather than causing the software's controller value to jump.
Setting the Global MIDI Channel
The M-Audio O
can transmit on any of the standard 16 MIDI channels. If you are using a computer-based system, the software usually

2. Press "OCTAVE -" for every octave you want to shift the keyboard down
Transpose
You can transpose the keyboard to change the key of the music you are playing without changing the key you are playing in.
1.
Press "TRANSPOSE" (OCTAVE + and OCTAVE – together).
2. Press the OCTAVE + or - key for every semi tone you want to transpose up or down.
You may have learned to play a piece of music in the key of C. To now play it in F you would need to press "TRANSPOSE" followed by 5 presses
on the OCTAVE + key or 7 presses on the OCTAVE - button.
Pitch Bend Control
The Pitch Bend is used to bend the notes played on the keyboard up or down. This allows phrases not normally associated with keyboard
playing, such as guitar riffs, to be played.
Your sound source determines how far you can bend the note. It is typically set to 2 semitones but can be up to 2 octaves +/-. When you
release the control, it will reset back to 0.
to the factory defaults, hold down the Preset "+" and "-" buttons while switching the keyboard on.
