How to Fix Oxygen Pro Play and Stop Buttons from Being Intermittent

You may find the M-Audio Oxygen Pro transport buttons are buggy in FL Studio.

Also, the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Help Manual for FL Studio tells us to use “Mackie Control Universal” as our Controller type on MIDIIN3, but the LOOP Button does not give normal operation of switching between Song and Pattern Mode in FL Studio.

In this Oxygen Pro Help Article, I’ll share how to setup M-Audio Oxygen Pro Transport Buttons in FL Studio.

There’s two steps we will cover below:

• Set TEMPO SYNC to EXTERNAL
• Download my FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script

By default, the Oxygen Pro’s TEMPO SYNC is set to INTERNAL. This causes the Transport Buttons to double press, so if you hit play it will immediately play then pause. I will show you how to set TEMPO SYNC to EXTERNAL permanently.

Also my FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script ensures default FL Studio Transport Button operation.

I suggest reading my latest How to Install Oxygen Pro MIDI Script article.

Set Tempo Sync to EXTERNAL Oxygen Pro:

This video shares two ways how to set TEMPO SYNC to External.

There’s an easy fix, but it’s temporary, and needs to be done each time you turn on the Oxygen Pro.

The permanent fix is explained near the end of the video, and there’s a step-by-step below the video. In short, you need to install the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor, and send a preset into the Oxygen Pro.

Here’s step-by-step how to fix M-Audio Oxygen Pro Transport Buttons:

1. Easy Way:
   • Note, this has to be repeated each time..
   • On Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, hold down TEMPO SYNC
   • Under “Clock” setting, push down “PUSH TO ENTER” knob.
   • Twist knob to set to EXTERNAL
   • Push down “PUSH TO ENTER” knob to save
   • Press BACK to leave menu. (All done!)
2. Permanent Fix:
   • Install M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor software (it’s free)
   • Open Oxygen Pro Preset Editor
   • Set Source to EXTERNAL in the software, then File -> Send Preset. (Make sure to overwrite Preset 1, not send to RAM.)
   • On Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, hold PRESET Button
   • Select your Preset by pushing down “PUSH TO ENTER KNOB” (All done!)

If you have my M-Audio Oxygen Pro FL Studio Template, you simply load my template into this Oxygen Pro Preset Editor, then load it by holding the PRESET Button on the Oxygen Pro.

Make sure you’ve Installed my FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script so the LOOP Button on your Oxygen Pro switches between Song/Pattern mode.
