Most DAWs will automatically recognize the Oxygen series keyboard, and automatically

There are Presets for all of the Virtual Instruments included with your Oxygen. For Virtual 
Instruments that are not included with your Oxygen, we suggest using MPC Beats as a plugin 
wrapper in your favorite DAW, and the Oxygen’s MPC PI preset. MPC Beats opens as a 
plugin wrapper in all mainstream DAWs to merge the best of all DAW worlds. This gives you 
the freedom to use MPC Beats as a soft synth/Virtual Instrument plugin wrapper, enabling you 
to have all of your Oxygen controls auto-mapped to your favorite soft synth/Virtual Instrument 
plugin.  
 
To download the included MPC Beats software, follow the instructions on the included 
software download card.
