How to Control Synths with Oxi One MIDI: Step-By-Step Tutorial

Follow
SynthDad

The Oxi One sequencer is a powerful MIDI tool for making music with your synths. In this tutorial I will show you how to connect your synths and keyboards over MIDI to the Oxi One to make music.

The Oxi One can send MIDI on USB, TRS MIDI and even Bluetooth, so no matter what gear you have you will find a way to control it from the Oxi One. I'll explain how to route MIDI from the Oxi One sequencers to different ports, select channels, and use Bluetooth to play MIDI softsynths on your iPad.

Note: some of the features in this video require the latest 3.0 firmware for the Oxi One, so make sure you update to the latest version!
