Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with this one. I'm trying to get my Midi keyboard (oxygen 8 version 1) working on an old beige G3 computer running OS 9.2.1 which originally didn't have USB ports. I've bought a USB 1.1 PCI card and installed it and I know it's working because I have managed to connect and print to a USB printer through it. I've installed Reason 1.1 on it and OMS 2.8 (I think) and the oxygen 8 installer disk but the keyboard it not playing through Reason - in Reason preferences I get a keycontroller keycontroller-1 which both allow a green tick next to them if I wish. 1. Is there some setting up to be done in OMS before the keyboard will work ? 2. Am I correct if in saying if the USB port works to print, it should work with midi devices too. Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated Thanks anyone |

The very first thing you should (have) done before anything else would be to set up the keyboard in OMS.

I came across a list in the OMS set up for the manufacturures
and models of the keyboards but M Audio - oxygen 8 wasn't in there. Do you think it might be best to delete everything off the machine and start again now ? |

I would delete and start over again. The reason Oxygen 8 is not listed is because OMS has not been updated for about 10 years now, and also OMS is generally used with a USB midi interface hooked up to a midi instrument via MIDI cables... So I'm not sure if OMS will recognize your M-Audio at all. If you can not get it to work, there was another program called Free MIDI.

Yes, its worked
I just deleted everything and started from scratch. Just shows it doesn't pay to go at everything at 100mph ... ... ... Next task is to connect the G4 to the G3 via midi, so I can set 2 versions of Reason off together. Think I'll leave that for another day !!! anyhow Cheers for your comments kaboombahchuck |

In case you run again in a problem MIDI related, first rule with OMS is to delete OMS, and the eventual drivers MIDI related you have, then reinstall from scratch first OMS then the interface
 It's a bit dumb on the edges for a long time and it solves 99% of the problems. After that you do your OMS config again as usual (you don't use the old one, it won't do save in the trash and go)
