Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Oxygen Pro 61, connect the included USB cable to your computer, which provides both power and data transmission. For software integration, select your specific DAW in the 'Preset' menu on the keyboard and ensure the corresponding settings are adjusted in your software's MIDI preferences. To maintain the device, keep the key bed free of dust using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the surface, as moisture can damage the sensitive internal sensors beneath the keys and pads. When storing or transporting, use a protective case to prevent impact damage to the sliders and knobs.
