How to Install M-Audio Oxygen Pro Presets with Oxygen Pro Preset Editor
This M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor tutorial will teach you how to import Oxygen Pro Presets and setup the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard in FL Studio.
First, we have already installed our Oxygen Pro MIDI Scripts.
Now we need to import the Oxygen Pro Templates into the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor, then load the Template on the Oxygen Pro by holding down the PRESET Button, and selecting the preset with the Push to Enter Knob.
This works for the Mini, 25-Key, 49-Key, 61-Key, and 88-Key Oxygen Pro Preset Editor.
If you do not want my Premium Oxygen Pro Template, I show you need to set TEMPO SYNC to EXTERNAL so the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard is not buggy in FL Studio.
Download Oxygen Pro Preset Editor
There’s a couple ways to download M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor.
- My preferred way is to visit M-Audio’s Drivers Page, select ‘Keyboard Controllers’, your Oxygen Pro Model, then your Operating System (OS). Click ‘Show Results’, and the Preset Editor for your Oxygen Pro Model will be revealed.
- Alternatively, download M-Audio Software Manager by logging into your M-Audio account, which you can then download ‘M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor’ through that.
Make sure to download the correct Oxygen Pro Preset Editor for your model. For example, if you own a 49-Key, download ‘M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 Preset Editor’.
The Oxygen Pro Preset Editor looks like this:

The problem with the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard in FL Studio is that the TEMPO SYNC is set to Internal.. we need TEMPO SYNC to be EXTERNAL.
My Oxygen Pro Template sets this up for you so, click here for how to Import Oxygen Pro Templates. But I will explain further for those who use my FREE MIDI Script and want to set TEMPO SYNC to EXTERNAL.
FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script Users:
If you hold TEMPO SYNC button on the MIDI Keyboard, you can select “EXTERNAL”.. but this needs to be done each time you turn on the Oxygen Pro. 👎
The permanent fix is sending a preset with TEMPO SYNC as EXTERNAL into the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard with the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor. On the MIDI Keyboard, we simply hold PRESET, select the preset, and this never has to be done again! 👍

Here’s how to send an Oxygen Pro Preset with TEMPO SYNC as EXTERNAL:
- Turn on M-Audio Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard
- Open M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor
- Click ‘Preset’ in the top of Preset Editor
- Click SOURCE drop-down, and select External (this is TEMPO SYNC)
- Go File -> Send Preset. Overwrite a Preset (do not use RAM)
- The Preset is now sent into the Oxygen Pro ✅
- On the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, hold down PRESET and select the preset that you just imported with the Push to Enter Knob!
You have now installed my FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script. 👍
You’ve also sent an Oxygen Pro Template with TEMPO Sync as EXTERNAL in the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor into the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, and loaded the preset by holding down PRESET Button and selecting your preset. 👍
Last point – each time your turn on Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, make sure to press PRESET Button.. do not use DAW Mode.. it is buggy in FL Studio. 👍
That’s it if you’re just using my FREE Oxygen Pro MIDI Script!
Premium Oxygen Pro Template Users:
If you purchased my M-Audio Oxygen Pro Template, here’s how to import Oxygen Pro Presets into the MIDI Keyboard.
- Turn on the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard
- Open M-Audio Oxygen Preset Editor for your model
- Go File -> Load Preset
- Select either Version 1 or Latest Version [Drum Pad Workflow]. (If you can’t see templates, select “All Files” in bottom right of pop-up).
- Go File -> Send Preset
- Another pop-up will appear.. overwrite Preset 1 (not RAM)
- On M-Audio Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, hold PRESET Button, and select my template with Push to Enter Knob
- The drum pads should have changed colors.. that’s it! ✅
Here’s an Oxygen Pro Template Install Help Guide with images:
First open M-Audio Oxygen Pro Preset Editor, then go File -> Load Preset.

Navigate to Premium Templates folder of my Oxygen Pro FL Studio Template.
If you can’t see the templates, make sure to select All Files (red arrow) !

Once you’ve opened an Oxygen Pro Preset, it loads into the Preset Editor.
Now, we must send this template into the Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard itself!
Go File -> Send Preset in the Preset Editor:

After clicking Send Preset, a pop-up appears.
Overwrite Preset 1, do not use RAM.
(RAM is a temporary tool for testing. I suggest Preset 1 because it’s quick to select):

After selecting Preset 1, click “Send”.

You should get a success message:
“The preset has been successfully sent to the device”.

Here’s the FINAL STEP!
On your M-Audio Oxygen Pro MIDI Keyboard, hold down PRESET Button. Select my Oxygen Pro Preset by twisting the Push to Enter Knob, then push in the knob to accept.
The Drum Pads will change colors, and you’re all set up!

Note: If you use Version 1 Template, all the drum pads will be Orange on Bank 1!
Make sure you’ve setup the MIDI Scripts properly in the FL Studio Settings by following my Install Oxygen Pro MIDI Scripts Tutorial.
A quick recap:
You installed your MIDI Scripts 👍
You imported & loaded my Oxygen Pro Template 👍
Each time you turn on the Oxygen Pro, press PRESET Button (DAW Mode is buggy in FL Studio) 👍
