This is a "vintage" setup (circa early 2000s). Because modern operating systems (Windows 10/11 or macOS Catalina+) generally cannot run Logic 5.5.1, I am assuming you are setting this up on a retro Windows XP or Windows 2000 machine. Here is a helpful guide to getting your Oxygen 32 working with Logic Platinum 5.5.1. 1. The Connection Problem (USB vs. MIDI) When Logic 5 was released, USB MIDI was still new.
If you are using a USB cable: You must install the specific M-Audio USB MIDI Drivers compatible with Windows XP before plugging in the keyboard. If you are using a MIDI Interface: Connect the Oxygen 32 "MIDI Out" to the "MIDI In" of your sound card/interface.
2. Setting Up Logic Audio Platinum 5.5.1 Once the keyboard is plugged in and the driver is installed, follow these steps inside Logic: Step A: Verify MIDI Communication
Open Logic Platinum 5.5.1. Look at the Transport Bar (usually at the bottom or top). Locate the small MIDI activity indicator (it usually looks like a small box or circle that lights up). Press keys on the Oxygen 32. Does the indicator light up? emagic logic audio platinum 5 5 1oxygen 32 updated
If Yes: Logic sees the data. Proceed to Step B. If No: Go to Options > MIDI Interfaces . Ensure your driver (e.g., "M-Audio Oxygen" or "USB Audio Device") is listed and highlighted.
Step B: Creating an Instrument Track In Logic 5, you need to insert a synthesizer to hear sound.
Go to the Arrange Window . Create a new track (often done by double-clicking in the track list). Change the track type to Audio Instrument (if using VSTi/DXi) or GM Device (if using an external hardware synth). Double-click the track name or look at the Environment window to assign an instrument (e.g., the built-in ES1 or a VST plugin). This is a "vintage" setup (circa early 2000s)
3. Troubleshooting "No Sound" If you see MIDI activity but hear no sound:
Audio Driver: Go to File > Audio Hardware & Drivers . Ensure your Audio Interface is selected. Bank/Program: Sometimes Logic defaults to a blank patch. Check the parameter box on the left and change the "Program" number to 1 or the "Cha" (Channel) to 1. Ensure the Oxygen 32 is set to send on MIDI Channel 1 (check the display on the Oxygen keyboard).
4. Mapping the Oxygen 32 Knobs/Sliders The Oxygen 32 has knobs and sliders designed to control software. In 2002, this wasn't "Plug and Play." If you are using a USB cable: You
Look for the MIDI "Learn" function in Logic (often holding Ctrl and clicking a knob on screen). Alternatively, check the Oxygen manual for "MIDI CC" numbers. Logic 5 responds to CC#7 for Volume and CC#10 for Pan.
