 PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
Plug your unit to a USB power supply and do a full battery charge before using it for the first
time. The battery is fully charged when the icon stops blinking. While OXI One is powered off
there’s no battery charging indicator.

WARNING:
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even
death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:

● Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in
any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified OXI
Instruments service personnel.

● Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or
place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

● Use the specified cable provided by OXI Instruments only (or another one with same
specifications) to plug your OXI One to a computer or to charge OXI One’s battery.

● Use only a 5V supply to power or charge your OXI One. Using the wrong power supply will
damage your OXI One and it won’t be covered by the product warranty.

● Do not connect any TV or monitor to the Pipe interface (HDMI Micro connector) as this
could damage both devices. Use ONLY with compatible accessories like the OXI Pipe.
Any damage caused by a wrong operation won’t be covered by the product warranty.

● Do not connect any headphone or amplification line directly to any of the TRS jack plugs
as this may damage both devices. Any damage caused by a wrong operation won’t be
covered by the product warranty.

● Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never
insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

● Keep this product always out of reach of children. It is not a toy.

● The instrument, when used in combination with an amplifier, headphones or speakers,

may be able to produce sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT
operate for long periods of time at a high level or at a level that is uncomfortable,or a level
that exceeds prevailing safety standards for hearing exposure. Always follow the basic
precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, damages, fire or other risks. If you encounter any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, consult an audiologist immediately. It is also a good idea to have your ears and
hearing checked annually.

4
 ● Do not place the product and the cable charger near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

● When removing the cable charger from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug
itself and not the cord.

● Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat
(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the
possibility of damage to the internal components.

● Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

● Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

● When cleaning the instrument, use a soft brush or a soft and dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not
place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the keyboard.

● Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

● Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume
level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

 INTRODUCTION
Along the journey of learning any new instrument, having access to a complete guide can be a very
valuable tool. You can rest assured knowing that all of the information needed to quickly get the
most out of your OXI One sequencer has been assembled here for convenient referencing.

Exploring a new instrument and manual for the first time can be very fun and informative, but take
your time! There’s a lot going on in the OXI One and attempting to master every aspect of it should
not be the goal ‘right off the bat’. Feel free to gloss over this manual in its entirety or jump straight
to the chapters that excite you the most. If you’d prefer to figure things out on your own, no problem!
With OXI One, exploration is encouraged. The important thing is that you’re having fun! An initial
read-through of a manual can build a strong base of information that will be helpful moving forward.
This is when you’ll first become acquainted with the parameters of your new instrument; the tools
at your disposal and how they interact with each other.

Regardless of where you are on the journey to mastering the OXI One sequencer, this manual has
something to offer for every user level, day 1 or day 1,000. Each subsequent read-through has the
potential to add upon the knowledge that you have obtained and invite you to dive in a bit deeper.
Has an update brought new features to explore and investigate? Perhaps you’d like to refresh your
memory on a feature that you haven’t used often? Revisiting a manual with a good understanding
of the base subject allows us to interpret the ideas and information within its pages differently, from
a more informed stance. This is when new doors start opening. We are now using the guide less as
a source for information and more as a source of inspiration.

ENJOY.

 VERY QUICK START
OXI One is a battery powered performative sequencer, controller and composition instrument that
has 4 fully independent Sequencers. Each Sequencer can play simultaneously and can be
configured to any of the 6 modes available. The OXI One can be configured so it adapts to your
workflow, not the other way around. Most configurations in this sequencer are flexible, giving you
the freedom to adapt them to your own preferences under the different menus.

The interface of the OXI One is based on linear relationship between layouts, avoiding nested
menus thus making it very intuitive to use, without sacrificing functionality, and adding innovative
layers for performance.

Turn ON your OXI One by pressing the power button on the left side. OXI One will show you the
main view: the Sequencer Layout. To start playing, press the Play button. The transport bar will
start moving and looping on the grid.

–––––––––––––––––––––

TIP: Pressing the Sequencer Button toggles the view between them.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Ensure the selected Sequencer ( buttons) is active. To activate or deactivate a Sequencer,

press MUTE + . The number button will blink white and blue indicating the Sequencer is
selected and active for playback. This is a nice way to launch or stop each Sequencer from playback
without stopping the rest.

In the Sequencer view the grid pads recognise two types of interaction:
· A quick tap activates or deactivates steps.
· A long press (hold) accesses the step parameters.
· SHIFT + press (hold) a step to momentarily display additional step parameters.
· A long (TIED) note can be entered by pressing two pads in the same row. Inverted
gesture (from right to left) add straight triggers.

Bottom to top is lower to higher note, and left to right the order in the time sequence. To access
higher and lower notes other than the eight rows displayed, press the Div (Division) button and turn
the leftmost encoder or press the octave encoder to enable scrolling.

To select a Sequencer, press its corresponding button number; the Function buttons, the screen
and the grid will show the parameters of this selected sequencer.

SHIFT + Sequencer button to enter its sequencer settings. You can change the sequencer
mode between: Mono, Chord, Polyphonic, Multitrack, Stochastic or Matriceal and also the
sequencer MIDI Channel, output Port and other settings.

15
Each sequencer mode focuses on several tasks that it does best; for example, a Mono sequencer
has an instant visual feedback of the melody and more compositional centered tools, meanwhile in
Multitrack mode you have 8 mono tracks with instant mute and solo buttons per track. Chord
mode is a great tool to write the foundation chord progression of a song, meanwhile Polyphonic
mode offers total freedom up to 7 notes per step. Stochastic and Matriceal are two types of
generative modes.
We’ll cover more in detail how each works in the Sequencer modes section.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: It’s possible to have any combination of the existing sequencer modes
on the 4 available sequencer slots.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Turn OFF OXI One by holding the power button for at least 2 seconds. It will remember its last state
after the next startup: loaded project and configuration.

BATTERY
The battery icon shows a rough estimation of the battery status.
The battery is charging when the icon is blinking, and fully charged when it is steady and not
blinking. The OXI One battery should last between 4 and 8 hours depending on the usage and the
LEDs consumption.

When the status icon is , it means that the battery voltage has dropped to around 3.7V which
is the nominal voltage of the battery. The OXI One will still have plenty of hours of use left.

BATTERY CHARGE
Any wall USB power adaptor will work to charge the battery, the more power the brick delivers, the
faster the charge will be. OXI One incorporates an intelligent battery management IC.
USB A to C cables are valid as well as USB C to C ones.

16
 INTERFACE OVERVIEW

GRID
The grid has 128 RGB LED lit pads. On power up, the Sequencer View is displayed.

Depending on the selected sequencer Mode, each column of pads represents a step of the
sequence and each row represents a note (in Mono, Poly and Chord modes) or a track (in Multitrack
mode). Other sequencer modes like Stochastic and Matriceal have their own grid representation.

The grid also shows Keyboard, Arranger and CV Gate views that will be explained later.
Independently of the grid layout or screen menu, you can reach the main Sequencer View by
pressing the BACK button.
Other function buttons like Keyboard or Arranger will toggle between their view and the
Sequencer view.

TIP: Tie steps across pages by holding a step, then pressing a different page button, and tapping
the step you want to end the step.

SCREEN
The screen shows information or parameter values depending on the function button or mode
selected. The default or Main screen is the Sequencer screen, shown on power up.

From left to right the top line indicates:

- the Mode of the selected sequencer,
- Swing of the selected sequencer,
- if a Snapshot has been taken,
- if Follow is enabled,
- the Clock Source,
- Bluetooth connection
- Battery state

Second line:
- global BPM
- Time Division of the selected sequencer or time division of the last selected track in
Multitrack mode.

Third line:
- Scale,
- Root note
- Global octave

17
Fourth line: in this last line you can see the parameters the encoders modify when there is no other
menu opened.
When the SHIFT button is held, the secondary functions of the encoders are shown in the main
screen as follows:

SHIFT BUTTON
SHIFT in combination with any other function button, activates its secondary function. For
example, the secondary function of undo is redo.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Hold SHIFT and press a button to access secondary functions,
those printed in turquoise.
–––––––––––––––––––––

You can latch the SHIFT button by double tapping it. For this, Latch SHIFT setting must be
enabled.

SEQUENCERS
Pressing a sequencer number button selects the sequencer that is displayed on the interface.

- Hold MUTE and tap Sequencer button to toggle the state of the specific sequencer. This
function can be used to activate/deactivate or to mute/unmute depending on the Mute behavior
explained in Mute Options.
It is possible to activate/deactivate several sequencers at once.

- Hold SHIFT and tap Sequencer button to access the first of three pages of the Sequencer
Setup menu.

18
SEQUENCER SETTINGS PAGE 1
GLOBAL MIDI CHANNEL
for the selected Sequencer. You have to press the encoder to
confirm the new MIDI channel.
For Multitrack Sequencers, each of the eight tracks can be
assigned a separate MIDI channel and output. See the Multitrack
Mode section for details.

NOTE: The MIDI In Channel Filtering setting defines how OXI One
routes the input MIDI data to the different sequencers.

MIDI OUTPUT
Defines where the Sequencer MIDI data is sent : ALL, TRS, USB or BLE destinations. This setting
doesn’t affect the CV-Gate outputs.
Note: This parameter is set per track in Multitrack Mode.

PROGRAM CHANGE
Sends a MIDI Program Change message to the selected MIDI channel and Output destination on
pattern load or in the Arranger if configured. Bank select is sent along with a PC message. Bank
Message Type can be set to either cc 0 or 32 in Config settings.

Note: This parameter is set per track in Multitrack Mode.

SEQUENCER MODE
Mono, Poly, Chord, Multitrack, Stochastic and Matriceal mode selection.

SEQUENCER SETTINGS PAGE 2

Hold SHIFT and tap Sequencer button again to access the
second Sequencer Setup menu. From left to right in this page you
can change:

PUNCH-IN QUANTIZATION
Sets the countdown for the sequencer to be launched (activated) when playback is not active so
it starts in sync with other sequencers. This parameter is also considered when doing a playback
Reset. A playback reset means that the transport bar will be back to the start step after the Punch
In quantization occurs.
Note that this parameter is saved within your project so a new project will have a default value in
here.
The default value is "Global", which means it will take into account the Global quantization setting
set for the project in the Launch settings menu.

RESET
Reset the sequence after a selected number of bars (1 - 64). Useful in Multitrack to realign tracks
or to get back to sync the sequencer when time or division modulations are applied to it.

19
BANK
Sends a MIDI Bank Select message to the selected MIDI channel and Output destination on pattern
load or in the Arranger. Bank Message Type can be set to either cc 0 or 32 in Config settings.

Note: This parameter is set per track in Multitrack Mode.

TRANSPOSE new
Enables note transposition on the selected sequencer. The transposing amount is relative to the
root/base note of the sequencer (or track in Multitrack mode).

It can be either:
- OFF, disabled.
- Same. Checks if the MIDI channel of the incoming note matches the global MIDI channel of
the sequencer.
- Ch1 to Ch16. All notes received on this channel will be used to transpose the pattern.
Different sequencers can have the same MIDI channel assigned for transposing, meaning
that they will all be transposed when receiving a Note On on this channel.

Note that when this setting is enabled, the incoming MIDI notes won’t be used for other purposes
(like recording, arpeggiator, etc.). Note Off will be ignored.

Transpose works even with MIDI Channel Filtering Off.

SEQUENCER SETTINGS PAGE 3

SHIFT + Sequencer button again to access the third
Sequencer Setup menu, right now reserved for:

INSTRUMENT DEFINITIONS new

You can select an Instrument CC definition for your sequencer,
so the MIDI CC numbers are already pre selected to match the
parameters of your favorite synth, showing directly the parameter names of it. View list of available
definitions here.

COLOR
Color of the sequencer notes on the grid, Piano Roll, Keyboard, Patterns and Arranger Lanes.
Note: some of the available colors may provide better visual feedback than others.

POLY SEQUENCER ADDITIONAL SETTINGS (*available only in Poly Sequencer Settings)

Number of voices is available on encoder 1 on the 3rd page of the settings, you can allow up to 7
notes per step or limit the number of notes to less than 7.

20
STEP PARAMETERS
In any of the available Sequencer Modes you can find the following step parameters: Velocity,
Octave, Gate and Mod.

They can be modified Globally or on a per step basis. To modify the global parameters, turn the
encoders while in the main sequencer screen. The grid will take Velocity and gate last values (from
the last placed step or the OXI One keyboard) as default for the new steps.

In Gate values, after the maximum value of 100 you have TIE, to set two steps as tied notes.
After TIE there’s LEGato, in which the Note ON message of the next note is sent before the Note
OFF of the previous one to enable the legato behavior on the synth, for example for glides.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To tie notes quickly hold one pad on the grid and tap another pad on the same row of the
grid, this will tie steps in between both tapped pads.
In order to Tie across pages, press and hold one pad of the selected page, go to another page
using the page buttons and, on the same note row, continue the tied note by tapping the end of
your note on a different pad.
–––––––––––––––––––––

MODULATION PARAMETER
Every Sequencer has 4 Modulation Lanes except for Multitrack that has 8 (1 per track in 2 banks of
4), to access them press the MOD button. These 4 modifiers can be configured in the CC
Configuration screen. Each Lane has a value per step that would be saved with each Pattern.

In this view, each encoder acts as a global control of each modulation lane.

The last Modulation Lane used before exiting the MOD screen will
be set as the global Mod control of the 4th encoder.

ADDITIONAL STEP PARAMETERS

There are extra step parameters that can be accessed by holding SHIFT and pressing any grid pad
or pressing the Step-Chord button (a quick tap latches this button). This is an overview of these
parameters, all the information can be found in the Sequencer Modes section.

- Glide, sets the time of the pitch to change continuously between two consecutive notes. At the
moment it only affects the CVs pitch output.
- Prob, and Logic conditions. Logic conditions appear after 100% probability when you turn the
2nd encoder CW.
- Retrigger (ratcheting), sets the times the note is triggered during the step duration, up to 5
times. For better resolution change the Time Division of the Sequencer or Track.
- Timing Offset, sets the time deviation of the note from -45% to 45% of the current time
division. ±25% is a quarter deviation from the duration of the step.

21
STEP MUTE new
In Mono, Poly, Chord, and Multitrack modes, steps can be muted by pressing and holding the
MUTE button and then tapping any step. Muted steps do not play back. To unmute, hold MUTE
and tap the step once more.
You can also mute steps while in the step parameters page, single tap of the velocity encoder
Mutes / Unmutes the note.
Muted steps appear purple in the grid and are indicated by a specific icon in the step parameter
menu:

Be aware that MUTE + First column is reserved to mute the whole sequencer.

ENCODERS
The encoders function as the interface to all parameter changes.
We will be referring from now on as “CW” to clockwise rotations and “CCW” to counter clockwise
rotations of the encoders.

22
In Sequencer view, the parameters each encoder modifies applies to the selected Sequencer (1-
4):

· VELocity (secondary function: Tempo)

· OCTave (secondary function: Swing)
· GATE (secondary function: Scale)
· MODulation (secondary function: Root)

The encoder values appear as a pop-up on the screen.

For most of the function buttons and secondary functions, the

screen will display 4 parameters, as shown on the right. The
encoders modify the corresponding parameter position on the
screen. For that, hold or tap the function button and turn the encoder.

· Most parameters don’t require confirmation by pressing the encoder button. Some do require
confirmation.

· In general, pressing the encoder button resets the corresponding parameter to its default value in
most of the menus. In some functions shift + press will reset the value to default.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS
VELOCITY
Turning the VEL encoder changes the velocity value for all the steps of the selected Sequencer (or
the currently selected track in Multitrack). If there are different velocity values on steps, the screen
will show the minimum and maximum values. Turning the encoder offsets each step value.

Pressing and holding a grid button will show the Step menu, in which you can change the Velocity
of the step. By holding several grid buttons and turning this knob, you can modify the velocity of
several steps at once. Single tap of Velocity encoder will Mutes/Unmutes the note. Double Tapping
the Velocity encoder will reset the step velocity value. new

Press the VEL encoder and the grid displays the velocity values of the active steps in column chart
form. You can edit the velocity values per step from here as well as toggling steps.

Velocity column view

23
Tapping the VEL encoder toggles the Step Velocity View with each ACTIVE step’s velocity value
displayed visually as a column, pressing and holding the VEL encoder will show the Step Velocity
View momentarily. Velocity values can be changed per step with immediate visual feedback. To
adjust all ACTIVE steps at once, simply turn the VEL encoder. Notice that the display shows a
minimum and maximum velocity value as you turn the encoder, this ensures that each individual
step’s velocity value is increasing or decreasing relative to the velocity value that is assigned to it.
INACTIVE steps without any note data are not affected when the VEL encoder is turned.

Holding a step button and performing a quick double press of the VEL encoder, the velocity of the
selected step is reset to the default value. Default velocity value is fixed to 75 and can be changed
in Configuration.

Velocity affects the amplitude of the AD trig envelope in CV Out by default.

OCTAVE
The default octave is C2. Rotate the 2nd encoder to change the base octave for the selected
sequencer. This base octave serves as a base point for the notes in the grid. The octave value of
every step acts as an offset of this base note.

In the sequencer view, PRESS once and turn the OCT encoder to scroll up and down the grid. A
white row visually represents your root note. (Applies to MONO, POLY and CHORD modes). PRESS
again to jump the grid view back to the base octave. PRESS a third time to return to octave control.

In MULTITRACK mode: new

- Tapping the encoder will give you access to the Piano Roll view of the selected track.
- Once in Piano Roll, turn the OCT encoder to do Vertical Scroll on the Piano Roll view of the
selected track.
- Alternatively you can hold the OCT encoder to enter the Piano Roll view momentarily until you
release it.

GATE
This parameter sets the duration of the note as % of the total length of each step which depends
on the selected division. Thus, if the sequence is set to 1/16th, and gate is 50, the note will last half
of a 1/16th note

Same as velocity, if there are different gate values on steps, the screen shows their maximum and
minimum value. It acts as a global control. After gate = 99 you have TIE. Note that you can change
this parameter per step as well which also will give access to TIE and additionally LEGato per step.

- TIE holds the current note for a number of steps. It can also be introduced by holding a step on
the grid and pressing another step to the right and on the same row that defines the end of the tied
note. The inverted gesture (from right to left) adds straight triggers instead of tied notes.

Tied steps are indicated with a soft white light. The steps must be on the same row and octave to
be tied, otherwise they would be considered as different notes.

TIED steps representation

24
 –––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To tie steps across pages, press and hold one pad of the selected page, go to another page
using the page buttons and, on the same note row, continue the tied note by tapping the end of
your note on a different pad.
–––––––––––––––––––––

- LEGato creates a transition between consecutive notes (different pitch), so there’s no time gap
between them.

While turning the GATE encoder at a slow or steady rate in either direction, all steps will begin to
be affected with the exception of TIED (or LEGato) steps, which will remain TIED or LEGato. In order
to remove the TIES or LEGato on these steps, you will need to do a quick extra CCW turn of the
knob to break the TIEd notes.
When adding to GATE value with a CW turn of the encoder, you can TIE steps with a quick extra
turn. This will TIE steps which are adjacent to one another.
If you turn the encoder slowly towards 99, you will see the gate value stop changing at 99 until you
complete an additional quick turn to activate TIEs, the same works in reverse.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Gate affects directly the Decay time of the AD Trig envelope in CV Out.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Press the GATE encoder to enter the Gate column edit. Here you will be able to adjust gate values
in column chart form as well as toggling steps. The top value sets the note as TIE, and Tied notes
are displayed in white soft color.

Gate column view

MOD
One press of the MOD encoder displays the modulation values of the active lane in column chart
form. The screen shows the MIDI parameter destination. Turn the encoder to change the selected
modulation lane. You can draw modulation curves in the grid and perform quick actions like change
the start and end points (using Init-End buttons), change the speed (x2 and /2 buttons), duplicate
or clear. While in the MOD view, these actions only affect the focused MOD lane.

25
You can change the MIDI parameter or internal destinations and other modulation lane settings in
the MOD settings which is explained later.

GLOBAL CONTROL
When globally adjusting the step parameters Velocity, Gate and Mod, it will act as an offset when
they have different settings, showing instead the minimum and maximum step values. For example,
the velocity of your sequence ranges from 50 to 110, then moving the global velocity CW will give
you +1 increments on all the steps (51-111, 52-112 …).
When the maximum or minimum value is met and passed, the extreme values will be limited/clipped
and this range will be reduced. With this implementation you can perform over global parameters .
By reaching extreme values, you can “flatten” the variation of that parameter and quickly set the
same value for all steps again.

SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
TEMPO
Tempo affects all the Sequencers. To modify it, press SHIFT + turn the 1st encoder.
It only works when the OXI One is in INT (internal) synchronization mode (see Synchronization
section).

Project tempo is saved per project and can be loaded along the project data depending on the
Load Project BPM update during playback setting. You can select if tempo is updated automatically
when loading a new project (if playback is enabled) or not in the config menu.

Additionally, when loading a new project while transport is running, Global Launch Quantization will
determine when the new project loads. New 4.5.2
–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Press SHIFT + Play repeatedly to TAP the tempo to the desired beat.
–––––––––––––––––––––

SWING
Press SHIFT and turn the 2nd encoder to modify Swing. Every sequencer has its own Swing value.
Since every sequencer may have its own, different time signature or time division, the Swing value
must be set carefully to get musical results. By pressing SHIFT and the encoder 2 button, Swing is
reset to its default value of 50 (no swing!).

SCALE
Press SHIFT and turn the 3rd encoder to choose among different scales.
There are two ways of working with scales that depend on the scale quantization setting.

- When scale quantization is disabled, the new scale will be automatically applied after
turning the encoder. The steps present in the pattern will preserve their position but the resulting
notes may be completely different from one scale to another. For example switching from a C
Chromatic (12 notes) to a C Major scale (7 notes), an E note would be translated into a G note. The
intervals don’t change but the resulting notes may differ. In this case, pressing SHIFT + press
encoder 3, the scale is set to the default value which is Chromatic.

26
 - When scale quantization is enabled, the new scale is not automatically set and it has to
be confirmed by holding SHIFT + 3rd encoder press. When a new scale is applied, the existing
steps are adjusted so the resulting notes are the closest as possible as they were before the scale
change, this is the scale quantization. So for example a G note in C Major, 5th interval and 5th grid
row, would be quantized to a G note in C Chromatic which is actually the 8th interval, 8th grid row.

Scale quantization is useful when you need to keep your melody as similar as possible between
scales or when you are looking for a specific scale and you don’t want to listen to all the scales in
the middle. On the other hand, keeping scale quantization OFF provides a more direct access to
the different scales and interesting results when listening to the same set of steps through them as
the notes will be updated on each turn of the scale encoder.

There’s a very nice feature that we will cover in the HARMONIZER mode section, in which notes in
a Sequencer follow harmonically the notes of the chord played on another Sequencer. This ensures
that all your instruments stay in key and follow your chord progression. The HARMO scale setting
is found one CCW encoder turn before the Chromatic scale. It is only supported in Mono, Poly,
Multitrack and Stochastic modes.

Input notes from the OXI One keyboard or coming from external MIDI sources can be quantized to
the scale depending on the Scale note quantizing setting.

ROOT NOTE
The default root note is C2, but we can easily change it by pressing SHIFT and rotating encoder 4.
As with the previous parameters, by pressing SHIFT and the encoder button, the root note is set to
the default value, C2.
Both Scale and Root can be locked on the Configuration menu to prevent any unwanted
modification during a performance.

FUNCTION BUTTONS
TIP: Jump to the Sequencer Mode section and skip the Function Buttons section if you want to
start working with Mono, Chord, Multitrack or Polyphonic sequences right away. There are links
to bookmarks to help you navigate when a Function Button is mentioned.

However, reading the function buttons section first helps to get familiar with the general workflow
through all the sequencers.

TRANSPORT
The following behavior applies to Internal Synchronization:
Rec enables recording from the Keyboard view or from any MIDI input..
Stop halts and resets all the Sequencers to step 1.
Play/Pause/FILL works as expected by default, but you can change this in the Config menu to:
- Reset all the sequencers playhead to the start points
- Pause
- FILL modifier
- Do nothing
Recording: the sequencers will receive the incoming MIDI information depending on the
MIDI In channel filtering configuration option. If MIDI In channel filtering is ON, every sequencer will
listen to its own MIDI channel. If OFF, the selected sequencer will listen to any channel. More
information about Recording on its own section.

Step Recording: Rec + Play will enter Step Record Mode.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Shift + Stop will reset the sequencer
–––––––––––––––––––––

28
MUTE OPTIONS new
Press and hold mute plus any sequencer button, steps, first column pads of multitrack and more
for various mute actions. To latch mute, double tap the mute button and its state will persist allowing
you to mute one handed. In the config menu you can select the Mute behavior that works best for
your workflow. Depending on this setting Mute works as follows:

Toggle Instant
Mute + sequencer press: activates or deactivates the sequencer playback.
When the sequencer is inactive, transport in that sequencer is stopped. Activating the sequencer
starts transport according to the Punch-In quantization setting.

Toggle On Release
Hold Mute and press as many sequencer buttons as you want. The sequencers will be
enabled/disabled on release of the Mute button rather than on the instant press of the Mute button.
This allows you to activate or deactivate several tracks/sequencers at once while mute is held, they
will take effect on release of the Mute button.
When a sequencer is disabled, the transport bar stops.
To mute the sequencer but keep the playhead moving, press MUTE + First Pad of the sequencer.

Mute Instant
Mute + sequencer press: mute / unmute playback, instead of the sequencer transport stopping
and the sequencer becoming inactive
With this setting, in a Muted sequencer the transport bar is still running but no notes or cv-gate
information is output. This setting will enable mute on Press of the Mute Button.

Mute On Release
Mute / unmute acts the same as Mute instant, but in this setting mutes aren't applied until mute
button is released. This allows you to prepare more than one sequencer or track for mute/unmute
before releasing the Mute button

RECORDING
Everything about recording can be found in its specific section.

OTHER TRANSPORT COMMANDS

Play/Pause button behavior can be set in config as:
- “OFF”, or pause disabled
- “ON”, pause enabled. When the OXI One is playing, a tap on Play will Pause all the
sequencers.
- “RESET”, instead of Pausing, tapping the Play button when the OXI One is running will
reset the playback head of all sequencers according to their punch in settings.

29
SHIFT + STOP (during playback) RESETS the playback of all the sequencers according to their
Punch In setting.

SHIFT + MUTE + Sequencer button resets the playback of the selected sequencer
according to its Punch In setting.

SHIFT + MUTE opens the Nudge menu

MUTE + Any pad of the 1st column mutes the selected sequencer. It means its playback head
continues moving but the sequencer doesn’t emit any MIDI or CV event.

Long press SHIFT + Play for more than 3 seconds to take a rest from sequencing ;)

TRANSPORT CC COMMANDS
In order to control the Transport of a DAW or any other device when OXI One is not the Master
(thus realtime messages are ignored by the master), you can assign a MIDI CC message to Stop,
Play and Rec.

These MIDI CC messages will be sent from the OXI One through the selected MIDI channel, port
A.
- Stop: CC 105
- Play: CC 106
- Rec: CC 107

This feature can be enabled in Config, MIDI section: CC Transport Msgs Channel
Can be “Off” or any channel from 1 to 16 of the Port A.

When this setting is not “Off”, you can tap any of the buttons and the OXI One will emit the
corresponding CC message so you can use MIDI learn in your DAW to quickly assign these three
commands.

NUDGE
Nudge allows you to make small adjustments to the timing of each of the four sequencers
independently.

SHIFT + Mute opens the Time Offset screen where you can
change each of the four sequencers’ timing by +/- 100
milliseconds. Tapping the corresponding sequencer’s encoder will
reset the time offset value to zero. To adjust all four offset values
at the same time, hold shift while turning any encoder.

30
 SHIFT + double tap Mute opens the Time Bend screen which
allows you to increase/decrease the playback speed of each
individual sequencer by a percentage relative to the global
tempo. Tapping the corresponding sequencer’s encoder will
reset the time bend value to zero. To adjust all four time bend
values at the same time, hold shift while turning any encoder.

SHIFT + Press any Encoder toggles between Time Offset and Time Bend menus.

KEYBOARD - PREVIEW
All the information about the OXI One Keyboard layout can be found in the Keyboard section.

SHIFT + Preview activates/deactivates playback on the grid Piano Roll view when you press a step
(or change the chord type or the step note with an encoder), this way you get instant feedback
through MIDI and CV if configured, of notes and chords you add to the sequences.

PAGES
Press 16, 32, 48 or 64 to select which step page the grid displays. To access the 80, 96, 114 and
128 pages, hold the corresponding Sequencer button (1-4) and desired page number or double tap
the page number: 16 will show 80, 32 will show 96 and so on. The page button will be lit up in blue
in this case.
OXI One makes it more fluent to navigate between the 4 first pages or the last 4 pages, since it
takes into account which of them you are on before switching to another block.

While the Sequencer is running, the grid normally displays the current page, so the 16, 32, 48 or 64
buttons will affect the display only until the Sequencer leaves that page. To lock the display on a
particular page, turn off the Follow function.

Pressing any page button from any screen other than Sequencer view will take you to this view.

ARROW MOVEMENTS
SHIFT + Page moves the sequence on the grid according to the arrows displayed. Move the
sequence left, up, down and right one step at a time to rotate horizontally or transpose vertically.

It applies to the active range of steps only.

Alternatively, you can also shift a range of steps by holding two pads on different columns of the
grid and SHIFT + Page button .

31
WORKING WITH PAGES
Notes about step editing on different pages:
- You can turn Follow to OFF (SHIFT + MOD button to toggle Follow on/off), so the OXI one doesn't
switch to another page.
- You can quickly loop pages by holding: INIT + END + Page button (Enters loop mode available
since firmware 4.2).
- You can set INIT and END points using the page buttons.
For example, Hold Init + and press page 32 button. It will cleverly move both init and end points
simultaneously keeping the initial step range.

COPY AND PASTE

In OXI One there are several copy/paste actions available.
In general, to copy; press and hold the COPY button, then select the item you wish to copy.
Alternatively, hold the item first and then press COPY. The same sequence applies for pasting: hold
PASTE, then select the target location, or hold the target location and press PASTE.

AVAILABLE ACTIONS:
PATTERNS

· Copy/paste patterns from the Load, Save or the Arranger views. You can also transfer patterns
between sequencers, placing them at any desired position, one by one.

COPYING/PASTING A SEQUENCER

To copy a sequencer, press and hold the COPY button, then press the Sequencer button (1-4) for
the source sequencer. To paste, press and hold the PASTE button, then press the Sequencer
button corresponding to the target sequencer. This action duplicates the content from one
sequencer into another. Remember you can hold the sequencer button first and then press COPY.

· Copy/paste a Mono sequencer into Multitrack tracks. Copy the mono sequencer first and then
press Paste and tap the first pad of the destination track (1-8). This is very useful to use Mono mode
power to compose and Multitrack as a storage to free up a Sequencer slot.

· Copy/paste one Multitrack track into another. Press Copy and tap the first pad of the source
track, then press Paste and tap the first pad of the destination track.

· Pasting from a Poly sequencer will overwrite the Sequencer mode.

· Pasting from a Chord sequencer will overwrite the sequencer mode except pasting in Poly, which
you can use to fine tune your chord sequences by note.

32
· Pasting from a Stochastic sequencer will overwrite the sequencer mode except pasting into Mono,
where the notes of the stochastic buffer will be translated to the monophonic sequence.

STEPS

· new Copy/paste single or multiple steps with all its parameters. These steps can be pasted
relatively on different positions and even different pitches. The maximum number of steps you can
copy is limited by the size of the step clipboard buffer.

· Copy/paste pages of steps (16, 32, 48, etc.) onto another page. Hold Copy/Paste and press the
page buttons.

· Copy/paste single or multiple TIED notes. new

. Copy/paste single or multiple columns of steps in Poly sequencers by pressing Copy and
pressing on an empty step on that column. It will copy all the notes of the selected steps.

. Copy/paste Matriceal copy and paste parameter lanes, tracks and step values.

SCALE AND ROOT new

. Copy/Paste Scale and Root information between sequencers. Press and hold the Copy button
and tap the 3rd or 4th encoder to copy the Scale and Root.

MOD LANES and MOD MATRIX

. Copy/Paste is available within the Mod Lane and MOD Matrix settings to copy all parameters and
values from one Mod Lane to another or Mappings from one MOD Matrix Mapping to another.

. Quick Copy/Paste Hold copy and click encoder then hold paste and click another encoder to
copy MOD values from one MOD Lane to another.

OTHERS

· Copy/paste arranger slots in the arranger view.

DUPLICATE
SHIFT + Copy duplicates the current sequence’s steps onto the following ones, thus doubling
the sequence length. This action also automatically adjusts the sequence's End point to
accommodate the new length.

If the sequence is for example 80 steps long, only the remaining 48 steps would be copied until the
maximum length of 128 steps.

33
 CLEAR
SHIFT + Paste activates Clear.

In the sequencer view, press SHIFT + Clear to erase all the note events of the sequencer or
selected track in Multitrack mode.
Press SHIFT and long press Clear to Full Clear the sequencer. Steps information, time division,
pattern length, note offset, randomization settings, etc. will be set to default values but setup
settings like MIDI channel and MOD destinations won’t be affected for convenience in most cases.
Although, you can fully erase these remaining settings using the Save layout.

You can use this function to clear the loaded song/arrangement in the Arranger layout and you can
clear the MOD lanes’ values when the MOD screen is open.

UNDO AND REDO

Undo has the last 10 states stored, press it repeatedly to undo unwanted takes. Press SHIFT +
Redo repeatedly to redo.

- Step toggling creates a new undo step. new

- Entering and removing TIED notes adds a new undo step. new

- A new undo state is created when using the Random Generator, Expand, Condense, Clear,
Duplicate, Copy, Paste, Start and finish Recording and Loading a different pattern to avoid
data loss. The new undo step is indicated by a quick blink of the button LED.

INIT, END and LOOP

Change the initial and final step of the active Sequencer or per track in Multitrack.
You can hold Init or End and:
- either press any step on the grid,
- turn encoder 2 and 3,
- or press the pages buttons , , and .

Double press on the page buttons to select pages 80, 96, 114 and 128.

When any of the or buttons are held, the grid LEDs will indicate the start and end points
of the pattern in purple color.

34
SHIFT + or doubles or halves the time division of the selected Sequencer respectively.

In Multitrack mode, you can change Init and End steps of all the tracks at once by holding its
Sequencer number button + Init or End and the desired step.

In order to improve the workflow, setting the pattern start step further than the current final one will
offset both positions in an amount equal to the pattern length.
Example: Start step is 1 and end step is 16 and you press Init + page 32, the new start and end
points will be 17 - 32 respectively.

You can also use Init or End buttons in conjunction with any track step in Matriceal mode to set
the start and end points of any of the parameter tracks.

LOOP MENU new

Watch Looper Tutorial here.

To enter the LOOP screen, press both Init and End buttons.
Loop works on Mono, Poly, Chord, Stochastic and Multitrack
Modes.

Once in the LOOP menu, you can activate the loop by simply
pressing two steps of two different columns on the grid, those will become the looping points (or
the same column and two different rows to loop 1 single step). This works the same way in
Multitrack mode to set loops either all at the same time by selecting All on the track encoder, or by
selecting any track on the track encoder to allow individual track loops to be set by grid press of
two steps on the tracks respective row.
The loop will be active on this sequencer until it’s manually disabled by pressing Init or End buttons.
When so, the Loop will be released in sync according to the Loop release sync setting. Separate
loops can be enabled and disabled on each Sequencer.

The options you will find on the loop menu are

● Len: Adjusts the loop's length by doubling or halving it, facilitating quick changes to either
extend or shorten the loop while keeping its initial position static. Activating this option will
enable the loop if it's not already active.
● Pos: Shifts both the initial and end points of the sequence simultaneously, by moving the
loop's location 1 step without altering its length. It can be used with or without an active
loop.
If you hold SHIFT while changing the Position, the loop is moved a number of steps equal
to the actual loop length.
● Rate: Rate or division of the playback head in the loop.
● Track: Track (or tracks) affected by the looper on a Multitrack sequencer.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: With a LOOP activated, you can still transpose the sequence and toggle steps on or off in the
grid.
–––––––––––––––––––––

35
When the LOOP is active in a specific sequencer, the Init and End point markers are constantly
displayed, albeit slightly dimmed to ensure visibility of active notes at these points. You can set
the INIT/END of a LOOP by choosing pads on the grid also with the init and end button held.

TIP: You can LOOP within a Snapshot and Snapshot within a LOOP. Exiting snapshot in either
scenario will return you to the pattern and exit the LOOP. Exiting the LOOP will not exit the
Snapshot, but exiting the Snapshot will exit the LOOP and leave your Init/End at the prior LOOP
point.

Y DIV - EXPAND
It activates the Division menu. From left to right:

· Grid Vertical Scroll / Track selection (Multitrack)

· Playback direction
· Random Time Division
· Time Division

A quick tap will open the menu, a long press will open it
momentarily until button release.

The Piano Roll view on the grid is set to the octave selected by OCT and the root note being the
lower row. To move the view up or down to reach higher or lower octaves and further edit steps,
use the Vertical Scroll (first encoder). When you move vertically through the grid, you’ll see the
rows highlighted, those indicate the position of your root note.
Pressing SHIFT while doing so will jump in increments of octaves instead of scale intervals.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: You can also hold and Turn 2nd Encoder (Oct) to quickly perform Vertical Scroll.
–––––––––––––––––––––

In Multitrack, the first encoder changes the selected track.

Playback direction being forward, backward, pendulum, random, ping pong and drunk. In
Multitrack mode, this parameter is independent for each track.
Drunk direction: for each step there is a 50% chance to advance to the next, 25% to repeat the
same step, 25% chance to back up a step.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Ping Pong and Pendulum are similar, pendulum will play the last step of the pattern twice to
allow the pattern to start at the 1 after returning to the first step.

36
 –––––––––––––––––––––
Random Time Division introduces division changes to give more or less unpredictable rhythms to
your sequence. If active, the Sequencer will be out of sync but it still follows the clock tempo. In
Multitrack mode, this parameter affects ALL tracks.

Time Division. In Multitrack mode, this parameter affects the selected track only.

SHIFT + Division activates Expand. It works as a zoom in on the sequence: length duplicates and
time division halves. Active notes TIE to following steps to keep its duration. Expand it’s only limited
by the maximum step number, which is 128.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Use expand to quickly increase resolution.
–––––––––––––––––––––

The opposite of Expand is the Condense function. It’s a destructive zoom out function, notes may
disappear when using it.

Both expand and condense generate a new Undo step.

RANDOMIZER & GENERATORS

RANDOM PERFORM (non destructive)
An easy and musical way to create non destructive variations on a
sequence is to use Random Perform.

A quick tap will open the menu, a long press will open it
momentarily until button release.

The parameters affect all the steps per track.

From left to right:
● Rand Velocity can be unipolar or bipolar. + values only add positive random variation. +/-
values add positive and negative variation.
● Rand Octave can be unipolar or bipolar. + values only add higher octaves randomly. +/-
values add higher or lower octaves randomly. A greater random value adds not only more
probability of playing the note in different octaves, but also increases the octave range of
the randomization.
● Rand Trigger probability of notes being played, 100% means no randomization.
● Rand Retrigger probability, which introduces ratcheting effect on steps.
In Mono and Multitrack modes, Retrigger also affects Skip (step parameter) the following
way:
○ With negative values, add skips to the steps.
○ Positive values from 0% to 32%, steps set to Skip start to be triggered, some
retriggers might appear as well.

37
 ○ 33% to 100%, increase the probability of retriggers appearing. Steps set to Skip
have even more chance of being triggered.

In Multitrack mode instead of Random Octave you have Random Gate, it doesn’t affect the TIEs.

In Matriceal and Multitrack modes Random Perform parameters are independent per track.

Random Perform can be enabled/disabled on individual tracks in Multitrack mode. Pressing the
Random Button, the first column will light up orange. While it is held, press a pad from the respective
track to stop Random Perform from affecting it.

RANDOM GENERATOR (destructive)

Double Tap Random or SHIFT + Random activates the Random
Generator menu. It allows you to generate a sequence based on
different parameters you can fine tune to come up with melodic
and rhythmic ideas in any Sequencer mode.

Holding the Random button plus any of the 3 blue pads on the
first three tracks of the grid will enable/disable the Drum Pattern
Generator in Multitrack Mode in those three tracks. More about it on Multitrack Mode.

Additionally, in Multitrack mode SHIFT + Random toggles between the Euclidean Generator and
the Random Generator on all 8 tracks, except when Drum Generator is enabled on the first three
tracks and one of those tracks are in focus. The same shortcut will toggle between the Drum
Generator and the Random Generator(Euclidean Generator is explained below).

A new pattern is generated after pressing the 4th encoder. Remember, the icon means encoder
press action is necessary to confirm.

First set of parameters:

● Bias: sets the root-note offset (in scale intervals), serving as the central point for the
generation of new notes.
● Rang: defines the range of step-intervals where the new notes are generated. It can be set
to bipolar or unipolar modes.
○ In bipolar mode (±), new notes are generated within the range of Bias plus or minus
the Range value. If the Bias is set to 0 and Range is greater than 0, new notes will
be generated both above and below the root note.
○ In unipolar mode, new notes are only generated above the Bias point.
● Rand controls the degree of variation in the notes that are generated. Lower values result in
more consistent patterns, suitable for arpeggios, while higher values produce more varied
and less repetitive sequences.
● Dens changes the amount (density) of notes generated. The minimum amount is 1%. Turn
past 1%, there are available the following features:
○ Huma: applies humanization to the existing sequence (randomization of velocity,
gate and micro timing offset) according to the Humanization amount, see next
options.

38
 ○ Order: instead of generating a new sequence from scratch, the Randomizer shuffles
the order of notes of the actual sequence, creating variations of it. Ties on notes will
not be retained.
○ Pitch: instead of generating a new sequence from scratch, Randomizer shuffles the
pitch of the active steps of the current sequence. Ties on notes will not be retained.
○ Invrt: inverts the order of the pattern from the start to the end points. new

Second set of parameters (Encoder press to toggle between them):

- Random scale: if “Yes”, it randomizes the scale and root

note of the sequencer.
- Humanize introduces time offset, gate and velocity
variations on the generated pattern.
- Ties: sets the probability amount of TIED notes appearing.

The Random Generator is destructive, it works from the start

to the end points of the pattern, overwriting what is there. Press Undo to return to the previous
sequence.

New The Random Generator will not alter steps that are set with FIXED or LOCKED logic
conditions. This feature allows you to maintain certain steps unchanged while using the random
generator to introduce variations and create dynamic patterns.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Press SHIFT + ENCODER to set back the default value of the selected Random Generator
Parameter.
–––––––––––––––––––––

EUCLIDEAN GENERATOR (destructive)

The Euclidean Generator menu is only available in Multitrack mode. Press SHIFT + Random to
get into its menu.

DRUM PATTERN GENERATOR (non destructive)

The pattern generator is a new tool available in Multitrack mode based on the MI Grids module. It
can be used to generate drum patterns for Kick/Bassdrum, Snare and HiHat but, you can of course
trigger any other sound. The generated patterns are the result of a mix of many different rhythms
from traditional to more experimental ones that are combined offering interesting results. This mix
is adjusted with two controls X and Y.

All the information about this feature in the Multitrack mode section.

39
LFO - CV GATE
There are 2 LFOs per Sequencer and both can modulate one internal and one MIDI parameter. A
quick tap will open the menu, a long press will open it momentarily until button release. Tap again
to enter in the second LFO menu. All the details about the LFO can be found in the LFOs section.

Access to the CV GATE routing layout by pressing SHIFT + LFO button. This layout is explained
in the CV Gate section.

STEP-CHORD - CONDENSE
The Step-Chord button allows you to enter additional parameters
of the sequence steps, the Step Submenu.
The available options depend on the Sequencer Mode so they are
explained in the respective MODEs section.

In general a short press latches this button on or off. When it is

latched on and you press any step, the screen will show these
additional parameters. You can also press SHIFT + a pad to access the same Step Submenu in
most sequencer modes. In these modes, SHIFT Latch will allow the Step Submenu to be accessed
without using two hands.

In chord mode, a first tap will enable the step chord menu. When enabled, pressing a step will show
the chord settings for that step: chord type, voicing and spread. Another tap latches the Step
Submenu.

SHIFT + Step-Chord: CONDENSE, collapses the current sequence into a lower resolution. 1/4
notes become 1/2 notes. It is a destructive function that can be undone.

MOD - FOLLOW
MOD (modulation) toggles the MOD layout. This feature is deep enough to be placed in its own
section: MOD LANES. A quick tap will open the layout, a long press will open it momentarily until
button release.

SHIFT + MOD to toggle the Follow function. Press it to automatically change the displayed page
on the grid and to keep track of the steps pages with the play head. Turn it off to keep the selected
page static so you can make changes in specific pages even with the Sequencer running.

–––––––––––––––––––––

40
 TIP: If Follow is active and you have at least one step pressed, the page will remain static.
Your Follow setting is remembered after a power cycle.
–––––––––––––––––––––

BACK - CONFIG
Back gets you back to the previous screen. Keep it pressed to go to the main sequencer view.

SHIFT + Back opens the Configuration menu. Go to the Configuration section to learn more.

Hold SHIFT first and then Back for a few seconds to go directly to the MIDI (input) monitor.

41
 LOAD AND SAVE
MEMORY ACCESS

–––––––––––––––––––––
OXI One can store 15 Projects, each Project stores up to 16 Patterns per Sequencer, for a total
of 64 patterns per project. Each pattern stores all sequencer data, including its mode (Mono, Chord,
etc.), and different patterns of a sequencer can be for different modes. There is also a Templates
folder with 32 pattern templates.
OXI One will store the latest changes you made so they are available after a reboot in a TEMP
MEMORY. If you want to discard them, simply reload the project.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To quick reload the project press shift + Load Button.
–––––––––––––––––––––

To save a sequence, hold the Save button, Memory Access view for the current project will show
up on the grid. This layout is independent of the Sequencer you have selected.

The 4 top rows of pads of the grid show the Patterns, one row per Sequencer. Each slot contains
one pattern of one single sequencer.
Each Sequencer can load and play any of its 16 patterns independently of which pattern the other
sequencers are playing, so we’ve arranged the Memory Access with a matrix style correlation to
tidy up the structure.

You can also load patterns from other projects. To load from other projects, enter the Load Menu,
turn encoder 1 to select the project but don’t push the encoder. Then turn encoder 2 to select a
pattern and push to confirm load or push a pattern button on the grid (patterns on the grid for the
currently active Load Menu Project are visualized).

42
 The patterns row of the selected sequence is Highlighted in soft purple color.
This helps you to load/save the right pattern.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: In OXI One all loading events, being Pattern or Project, are done without playback
interruption.
This behavior virtually removes all boundaries of songs, patterns and steps limits.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Depending if you are in Load view or Save view, you can load from or save your patterns in any slot
by pressing any pad on the row of the corresponding Sequencer.

QUICK LOAD
To quickly Load a Pattern from the grid you can do it in two different ways.
A quick tap of the Load button will permanently show the Memory layout in the grid.
Once opened, tap any pattern slot of the grid and it will be instantly loaded according to the Load
quantization setting (when the arranger is OFF) or immediately if OXI One is stopped.

If the load quantization is OFF, the new pattern will be instantly loaded in sync with the previous
one, and the playhead will keep its previous position. Otherwise, the pattern will be loaded when
the quantization happens, and the playhead resets from the beginning.

A long press of the Load button will temporarily open the LOAD view until you release the button.
Tap any pattern of the grid to load it, same as before. You will be back to the previous view on
button release.
–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: When a new Pattern is loaded, any changes made to the previous one will be lost unless you
previously save it manually.
–––––––––––––––––––––

You can change the Load Quantization settings for patterns in the Launch Settings menu located
in the Arranger.
Press any of the 4 bottom pads of column 16 in the arranger and choose the “Global” setting to
your needs. This defines how quickly a pattern loads upon Press, ranging from instant to 8 bar.
When set to Off (Instant) the transport playhead does not reset to the beginning of a pattern which
can offer creative uses. Video showing instant pattern switching and transport continuation.

LOADING PATTERNS FROM OTHER PROJECTS new

Note that you can load patterns from different projects directly on the grid by turning the first
encoder and choosing any other project. The grid will display the available patterns of the selected
project.
You can save the new loaded pattern on any slot of the active project.

43
QUICK SAVE
To quickly Save the current loaded Pattern using the grid you can do it in two different ways.

A quick tap of the Save button will permanently show the Memory layout in the grid in saving mode.
In this save view you have to double tap any pattern of the grid to save the currently loaded pattern
into this slot. This way you avoid accidentally overwriting any other pattern.

A long press of the Save button will temporarily open the save view until you release the button.In
this SAVE view, tap any pattern slot of the grid and it will be instantly saved.

You can save 4 patterns (1 per Sequencer) on the grid INDEPENDENTLY of the selected sequencer
(1-4).

QUICK ERASE
To quickly Erase one or several patterns at once, tap the Save button to permanently show the
Memory layout in the grid in saving mode, hold the desired patterns and press SHIFT + Clear.
Fully cleared patterns remain unlit in the storage view.

NOTES ABOUT PATTERN STORAGE

· Each row stores the patterns for each sequencer. Upper row 1 = sequencer 1, row 2 = seq 2, etc.

· Patterns of sequencer 1 can only be saved to and loaded from the slots of row 1 and so on. This
helps to keep the patterns organized.

· Every slot can store one pattern. The sequencer MODE (Mono, Chord, etc.) is part of the stored
data, so different patterns of the same sequencer could be of different modes. The sequencer will
automatically change its mode when the pattern is loaded.

· Other information like MIDI channel, Arp settings, MOD Lanes with CC assignments, Ext
Mappings, etc. is also stored per pattern.

· Saving a pattern means that the current information of the project like BPM, active sequencers,
loaded patterns, cv assignment, etc. are also updated in the memory.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP : In order to maintain consistency between patterns, we recommend configuring everything
necessary such as MODE, MIDI channel and CC assignments in a first pattern.
Then save this pattern in successive memory slots.

Patterns can also be saved as templates to store all the required settings.
–––––––––––––––––––––

44
LOAD SAVE MENUS
The Load and Save screen menus offer additional options of using the grid. They are also the only
way to load and save projects.

In these menus, encoder 1 is used to navigate the projects list and project submenus and the
encoder 2 is used to navigate the patterns list and pattern submenu. This may sound
unconventional at first, but it helps to reduce the menu depth and facilitates the navigation when
you need to move from project to patterns or vice versa.

Things that can only be done from these menus are:

- Load patterns from other projects
- Save patterns into a different project
- Load pattern from a template
- Save pattern as a template
- Rename projects and patterns
- Clear projects and patterns

The symbol represents that the operation needs some time to be performed, from a couple of
milliseconds (like “Clear project ”) to a couple of hundred (“Duplic proj here ”). This means that
if you do it when the OXI One is playing, it may have a negative impact on your performance.

PATTERN MENUS
Some menus differ if the selected slot is the loaded one or not.

Pattern Load menu:

- Reload (from non volatile memory)
- Load from template
- Clear pattern

Pattern Save menu:

- Save pattern (in non volatile memory)
- Rename grants you access to the Rename screen that
allows you to rename your patterns and projects.
- Save as template
- Clear pattern

PROJECT MENUS

Project Load menu:

- Load project (loads the project info and the 4 active patterns from non volatile memory)
- Load is quantized according to the LOAD Quantization setting. new

Project Save menu (for the loaded project):

- Save project (saves the project info and the 4 currently loaded patterns in non volatile
memory)
- Rename
- Clear project (completely removes the project data and all its patterns from non volatile
memory).

45
Project Save menu (if different from the loaded one):
- Duplic proj here (copies the currently loaded project and its patterns into the selected
slot)
- Clear project

RENAME MENU
In this screen you can rename your projects and patterns, the same screen is also used for renaming
in other menus.

Starting from the left, the first encoder scrolls through the letters and symbols. When pressed, it
will insert the chosen character directly after the cursor.

The second encoder shifts the cursor’s position. Pressing on this encoder will remove the character
currently beneath the cursor.

The third encoder cancels the process and gets you back to the previous screen when pressed.

Lastly the fourth encoder confirms the new name and saves your project or pattern.

PATTERN TEMPLATES
The templates folder can be found right after the 15th project in the projects folder.
Any of the 4 loaded patterns can be stored as a template. On the other hand you can recall a
template at any time and the template will be loaded in the selected sequencer.

The pattern template is a copy of the saved pattern. You can set up the pattern for a specific setup
or instrument (MIDI Channel, MIDI CCs, Scale, etc. ) and you can use it later as many times as you
need.

Pattern templates can be renamed. To do so, tap save, navigate to the Templates folder with the
first encoder, select the template using the 2nd encoder and press “Rename template ”.

QUICK PROJECT SAVE

To QUICK save everything, press SHIFT and Save . This will save the project settings and the
current loaded patterns.

46
CHANGE PATTERN WITH PROGRAM CHANGE new 4.0

You can assign a Global MIDI channel to accept Program Change (PC) messages, with values
ranging from 1 to 16. This can be set in the PC (Program Change) receive global Channel option
located within the MIDI settings of the configuration menu.

When a Program Change message is received with a specific value, the corresponding pattern with
that number will be loaded. For instance, if a PC message with a value of 2 is received, pattern
number 2 will be loaded for each of the four sequencers and so forth.

This is done following the Load quantization setting, or the Launch quantization setting if the
Arranger is engaged.

47
 KEYBOARD
It shows the keyboard layout on the grid. Each Sequencer mode has its own dedicated Keyboard
layout.
There are two keyboard layouts, the classic one specifically designed for the OXI One and the
Isomorphic layout. It is possible to select which of them is displayed in the Configuration menu.

CLASSIC LAYOUT
In the classic layout, different columns of pads will be highlighted on the grid depending on the
scale selected, to act as a visual guide of the notes that belong to the scale. Each column represents
a semitone, moving vertically each row jumps an octave up and down.
When other than a Chromatic scale is selected, the notes that don’t belong to the scale are lit in
soft red.

Classic layout in any Chromatic Scale.

In classic layout the notes of the base octave are Highlighted (except in chromatic scale). new

ISOMORPHIC LAYOUT
The isomorphic layout has been added in the 3.0 update. The main difference with the classic
layout is that there is a fixed interval between one pad and the one just above it. This interval can
be a perfect 4th or a perfect 5th. This rule makes sure that the notes are arranged in a completely
different way.
One of the main advantages of the isomorphic layout is that the interval relationship between two
pads is always the same, making it easier to play a specific chord among the keyboard.

48
 Isomorphic layout in 4ths, C Chromatic Scale.

Isomorphic layout in 5ths, Major Scale.

In isomorphic layout the base note is Highlighted (except in chromatic scale). new

The encoders in this mode modifies:

Velocity of the notes triggered from the keyboard.

Pitch Bend. Works as a pitch bend of a keyboard. Press the

encoder to set it to 0. Each sequencer will remember the last set
pitch bend value.

Pressure/Aftertouch for the configured Cv outputs. Pressure knob also works as a GLIDE control
for better performability with modular gear over CV.

Base octave note of the keyboard, independent of the sequencer.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: The last played note (or chord in Chord mode) is shown in the menu title.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Press Rec to record notes when Play is active. You can adjust quantization and other parameters
pressing SHIFT + Rec.

49
Keyboard, including arpeggios, sends any number of notes pressed. This means the Mono
keyboard can be used to perform over polyphonic synths without issues, the limit is set by the synth
or sound engine being controlled.

Specific Keyboard layouts for Chords and Multitrack modes will be explained on their sections.

Below both Arpeggiator and Roller are explained.

SCALE QUANTIZATION
Scale quantization can be switched on/off in the Config menu. When it’s ON, non-scale notes are
quantized to the upper closest scale note.

PICK AND PLACE

The Pick and Place function allows you to play a note or chord on the Oxi Keyboard or from an
External Keyboard and Oxi will store the notes temporarily to allow you to exit the keyboard and
place the notes on the grid. This functionality works only in MONO, POLY AND CHORD type
sequencers.

In order to complete a pick and place, first go to the keyboard or play a chord from your external
controller, then press either the keyboard button to close the keyboard and return to the grid. Or if
you are already on the grid, then simply place your notes by pressing a column you would like them
to be placed. OXI One will place them in the correct row even if the row is not currently visible on
the grid.

If you wish to clear the temporary buffer and avoid Pick and Place, simply press the sequencer
button before tapping the grid. Pressing a page button will not clear the Pick and Place temporary
memory.

50
 ARP
Press Arp to enter the arpeggio menu, if you are not in Keyboard
view, the Keyboard will be shown as well. Unless in chord and
polyphonic modes that have their own built-in arpeggiator. new
Each Sequencer has one arpeggio that can run independently of
what is playing on the Sequencer.

- Turn it ON with encoder 1 and continue turning CW to choose

the arpeggio mode or algorithm. The name of the arp mode is
displayed on top of the screen. Hold SHIFT and press the first encoder button to toggle the Arp
On and Off. The arp will maintain its last chosen mode during toggling on/off.
- Encoder 2 changes octave voicing range. Will add a number of Octave higher or lower notes
to your arpeggio in a repeating rhythmic pattern. Arp 8 Patt Reset affects the LEN and Pulse of
the pattern.
- Encoder 3 changes the gate or note length of the arpeggio.
- Encoder 4 for time division.

The new improved ARP engine incorporates a rhythm generation

(based on euclidean patterns) and a groove engine. new

There is a second of four parameters for this purpose. To toggle

between them you have to press the respective encoder buttons.
Pressing and holding SHIFT plus encoder press resets the
corresponding parameter. This particular workflow, which
contrasts with other areas of the interface, ensures a more efficient
workflow for quick adjustments during performance with the Arpeggiator.

- Accent or groove amount. Adds velocity modulation according to a predefined groove to the
generated notes. It can be positive or negative.
- Length of the euclidean pattern.
- Pulse. Number of pulses created by the euclidean pattern.
- Repeat count. Number of notes that are generated after an euclidean pulse.

If you set Len and Puls to the same value, you’ll create a constant stream of notes like in a classic
arpeggiator.

You can choose from a wide range of arpeggiator modes and we encourage you to test them all!
Arpeggio only works when Play is on, independently if the Sequencer is active or not.

The parameters of the Arpeggiator like mode, octave range and rate can be modulated with the
internal LFOs, the internal MOD Lanes or the MOD Matrix.

Press Rec to record the arpeggio on the Sequencer. Keyboard ARP will consider velocity/groove
during recording (it does not work for arpeggiated chords in Chord mode).

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: In a Polyphonic Sequencer and with overdub on,
you can record several layers of the arpeggios played.

51
 –––––––––––––––––––––

SHIFT + Arp activates Hold. This way you can add and remove notes of the arpeggio without
having to hold them manually. If an arpeggio is held, exiting the Keyboard view or changing
Sequencer won’t turn it off, this way you can have 4 arpeggios held at the same time. This also
works for incoming MIDI for all sequencer types keyboards.

- Use Hold with the Arp disengaged to create drones.

- With Hold active, you can arpeggiate notes independently of each sequencer at the same time.

- Hold can be used with the Roller as well.

ROLLER
The Roller is a feature available in the Mono, Poly, Multitrack and Stochastic modes. It takes the
notes held on the keyboard to create rhythmic patterns.

In any of those modes press the keyboard button to go to the keyboard view.
13th column of the grid from the left is the Roll rate selection. From bottom to top the rate of the
rolls increases. The rate is absolute and not depending on the sequencer settings.
- 1/4 , 1/4T, 1/8 , 1/8T , 1/16 , 1/16T, 1/32, 1/32T

The roller will work with one (mono) or several notes (polyphonically) at once.
Press SHIFT + Hold to hold the notes of the keyboard and you will have the roller working on top
of them, creating another kind of rhythmic pattern.

52
 SEQUENCER MODES
There are 6 Modes available: Mono, Polyphonic, Chords, Multitrack, Stochastic and Matriceal. Each
Sequencer Mode is designed to accomplish a specific purpose. Stochastic and Matriceal are two
kinds of generative engines.
To change the mode in the selected sequencer hold SHIFT and tap the sequencer button to enter
the sequencer settings menu. Then select the desired mode from the list using the rightmost
encoder.

MONO
Mono mode is a great place to create the leads and main melodies of your song, perform or
automate them.

In Mono mode, every row represents the note position according to the selected scale, starting
from the selected root note. For example, in the C Major scale, steps would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B
and C in a higher octave.

There’s up to 128 steps, review Init and End function buttons to recall how to change the length.

To enter notes, short press on the pad you want to set on. To remove them, short press on the
active pad. You may enter or remove several notes at once by doing this.

- Remember to use Y DIV and first encoder to scroll up/down to reach higher/lower notes.
You can also push + turn the 2nd encoder. The row being highlighted is your root note.

When one note is on a higher or lower octave, a led will light up on the top or bottom row indicating
the higher or lower pitch, the note will be also visible on its respective row, so it helps you to have
all the notes at sight and controlled.

You can have notes that are longer than a single step by adding TIEs. To enter a TIED note, hold
the first step you want to activate, and press the last step you want the TIE to be active on the same
row (note that this action requires holding the first note before pressing the second). The same
action also removes TIED notes. You can also remove a TIED note by tapping its first step. The
inverted gesture (from right to left) adds straight triggers.

You can quickly transpose the whole sequence by holding the respective Sequencer button and
pressing an empty note higher or lower than an active one. The distance from the active note to
your pressed pad in the column will dictate the transposition direction and distance.

53
STEP PARAMETERS
Hold one or more notes at the same time (active or not) to see their
step parameters and the note information. You can change with
each encoder the Velocity, Octave (a pad will light up on the edge
of the column as indication of the octave positive or negative
offset),
Gate and the Mod defined in the MOD section, by default it sends
ModWheel.

ADDITIONAL STEP PARAMETERS

With Step-Chord activated, holding a step will take you to the Step
Submenu. You can also press SHIFT + hold a step to access this
second layer of step parameters.

In this screen you can modify the following parameters:

Glide, it sets the time of the pitch to change continuously between

two consecutive notes. At the moment it only affects the CVs pitch
output.

Prob, and Logic conditions. There’s two behaviors:

STEP PROBABILITY
- By default it’s set to 100%, that means that the step has a 100% chance of triggering a
note. Turning the second encoder CCW lowers the probability of the step triggered notes.
You can toggle 100% probability and Fixed Logic in the Step Menu.

LOGIC CONDITIONS
- Turning the encoder CW will take you to A | B logic triggering. A and B are numbers in which
B sets the number of bars and A in which of those bars the note is triggered.
For example 3 | 4 means that the note will be triggered on the 3rd of each 4 bars.
This tool is handy to create longer patterns or launching samples every once in a while and
not in every loop.

- After A | B you will find NOT A | B logic condition. A sets the number of the bar where the
note is NOT triggered and B sets the number of bars before the condition is again evaluated.

- Next comes PRE and NOT PRE. PRE triggers the note if the previous step also triggered a
note. NOT PRE triggers a note if the previous didn’t trigger a note.

- FIRST and NOT FIRST. FIRST triggers note only the first time after playback starts. NOT
FIRST triggers note always but the first time after playback starts.

- FIXED means that the step trigger is not affected by any modulation or randomization
source and it’s always triggered. Pressing the encoder toggles between 100% Probability
and Fixed.

54
 - FILL and NOT FILL The Play button acts as a FILL modifier. When it’s held, steps set to
FILL will play and steps set to NOT FILL won’t.
- LOCKED new the step is not affected by any modulation or randomization source at all.
For example velocity, gate or pitch randomizations or modulations won’t affect this step.

Random generator and Euclidean generator don't affect steps with FIXED or LOCKED logic
conditions.

Steps that are either FIXED or LOCKED are identified by a lock icon within the step parameter menu.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Press the second to quickly toggle between 100% and FIXED logic condition.new
–––––––––––––––––––––

Retrig, sets the times the note is triggered during the step duration, up to 5 times. For better
resolution change the Time Division of the Sequencer or Track.
When fully CCW you get to SKIP, if selected the step timing will be ignored by the transport bar,
thus making the sequence length shorter. Skip is only supported in Mono, Multi and Matriceal
modes.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Use Skip to abruptly change the timing and feel of the pattern.
Randomize Skip steps to get different sequence lengths every bar by adding and removing notes,
in Retrig on Random Perform screen.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Offset, sets the time deviation of the note from -40% to 40% of the current time division. ±25% is
a quarter deviation from the duration of the step.
When recording live from the keyboard or using external MIDI, the quantization percentage on the
Recording menu sets the time offset of the notes. If quantization is set to 100% the offset will be
0%, other than that it’ll be more or less exact to the grid.

STEP MUTE new

You can Mute steps by holding MUTE and tapping on any step. Muted steps are displayed in purple
color and their playback is deactivated. Hold MUTE and tap the step again to Unmute.
Note that MUTE + First column is reserved to mute the whole sequencer.

KEYBOARD
Check the keyboard and ARP section to know more.

55
CHORD
Watch the video tutorial here.

In Chord mode, each step can play a chord with up to 8 notes.

In the Piano Roll or Sequencer view, every grid row represents each degree of the selected scale.
For example, in the C Major scale, from bottom to top the grid rows would represent Cmaj, Dmin,
Emin, Fmaj, etc.

CHORD EDITING
Chord mode was built around the premise of being an inspirational and learning playground. You
can create from simple triad progressions to complex chord progressions with all kinds of tensions,
inversions and all that related to the scale degrees, in a very intuitive manner.
There are two banks of chords available, bank A and B.
Bank A avoids more dissonant chords like augmented, diminished and dominant chords, that are
generally more difficult to use by non musically trained users. You will find all those chords in Bank
B.
The auto voicing engine, in charge of assigning the best possible voicings to every chord in order
to get the least voice movement, is enabled by default.

You can quickly transpose the whole chord progression by holding the respective Sequencer
button and pressing an empty pad higher or lower than an active one. The distance from the active
note to your pressed pad in the column will dictate the transposition direction and distance.

STEP PARAMETERS
Hold one or more pads at the same time (active or not) to see their
main step parameters and the chord information. You can change
with each encoder the Velocity, Octave (a pad will light up on the
edge of the column as indication of decentralized octave), Gate
and Mod, by default it sends Modulation Wheel and can be
changed on CC Configuration.

STEP CHORD MENU

You can change the chord of every step in the chord menu. In order to do so, press the Step-Chord
button to enable the chord menu (the button will start blinking). Now press the desired step and the
chord menu will show up. If successive steps are tied (same root note, chord type, voicing and
spread), the changes made to the selected step will apply to the tied ones.

56
The first encoder sets the Spread value per step (S:1 in the right
example). It increases the voices of all the chords (limit of 8 notes)
with higher octave notes of each grade by ascendant order.

The second encoder sets the chord Type, by default it has the triad
of the corresponding degree. The inversions (voicing) are then set
for every degree to ensure the chord voices are more musically
balanced (If Auto voicing is ON). Chords are ordered from less to more complexity (with complexity
we mean the number of voices and tensions). Suspended 2, suspended 4 chords and fifths and
octave intervals appear later.

The third encoder, sets the inversion or Voicing. The options are no inversion, Open, Open 1st and
2nd and Inversion 1st and 2nd.

ADDITIONAL STEP PARAMETERS

A double tap on the Step-Chord button (steady white light) will enable the step submenu, which
can be seen by holding one or several steps at once. You can also press SHIFT + hold a step to
access this second layer of step parameters.

In this screen the parameters available for edition are:

Strum, it ranges from -100 to 100. Positive values introduce a

time separation between notes that goes from lower to upper
notes, in negative values it goes from upper to lower notes. This
effect sounds like strumming guitar strings.
Prob, or Logic Conditions explained in the Trigger Conditions
section.

Retrig, sets the times the note is triggered during the step duration, up to 5 times. For better
resolution change the Time Division of the Sequencer or Track. Skip is not supported in Chord
Mode.

Offset, sets the time deviation of the note from -45% to 45% of the current time division.An offset
of 25% is a quarter deviation from the duration of the step and ±50% would be half the step.

SHIFT + Step-Chord takes back to main step screen editing.

STEP MUTE new

You can mute steps by holding MUTE and tapping on any step. Muted steps are displayed in
purple color and their playback is deactivated. Hold MUTE and tap the step again to Unmute.
Note: MUTE + First column is reserved to mute the whole sequencer.

CHORD BUILT-IN ARPEGGIATOR updated

Chord mode features a built-in arpeggiator that uses chord notes as inputs, offering a unique way
to generate musical phrases. When used alongside the rhythm generator and groove engine, it
enables the creation of compelling musical textures. Arp parameters are stored within the pattern
data and can be recalled per pattern.

ARPEGGIATOR PARAMETERS:
The arpeggiator parameters are equivalent to the ones shown in the ARP, parameters are accessed
by pressing the ARP button when on the grid note view. These sequencer ARP parameters are
different than the Keyboard ARP which is accessed by pressing the ARP button from the keyboard
view.

Accent is shown in the third position of the first set of four parameters, replacing Gate. The arp
note gate length can be controlled globally with the 3rd encoder while in note grid view.

You may apply a Euclidean pattern to the ARP by using Rot, Len, Puls settings. The Euclidean
pattern Rotation sets the number of Rotations or steps in which the pulses are shifted to the right
(for positive values) and to the left (for negative values).

ARPEGGIATOR SPEED VARIATION:

The arpeggiator can run at a different speed than the sequence.

CHORD KEYBOARD
The keyboard layout includes a large amount of intuitive shortcuts and tools to make playing chords
equally fulfilling for the experienced music theorist as for the inexperienced, to allow for learning
and exploration without barriers.

58
The keyboard is split in two sections, the first 12 columns of the Grid are the performance area that
triggers the chords. Each pad is defined by the root note of the chord it triggers. Each column is a
semitone filtered by scale, moving vertically is an octave up or down.

The second section is from the 13th column to the end.

13th and 14th columns select the chord type given the scale and the root note played.
15th column selects the voicing of the played chord.
16th selects the spread of notes in the chord. Remember the chord can have up to 8 notes.
Top right pad toggles between the chords modifiers of this section to trigger chords when pressed
or not.
Chord Bank toggles between chords Bank A and Bank B.
Auto Voicing enables or disables intelligent voice stack (least chord voices movement).

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: You can arpeggiate the played chords turning on the keyboard arpeggiator from the ARP
screen.
–––––––––––––––––––––

USER CHORD SLOTS new

Once you have found one chord you like, you can store it on the top row. The root note, type,
inversion and spread value will be stored in one of the 12 available slots.

To store one chord into one slot, hold the chord pad (not the modifiers) and then hold the chord
slot for 2 seconds. To clear one slot, do the same but hold longer for 4 seconds.

User chord slots work like any other chord and can be arpeggiated and recorded.

59
PICK AND PLACE CHORDS
After playing any chord on the keyboard, getting back to the sequencer view, the next chord you
enter in the grid will be exactly the same as the one you last played. This function is called Pick and
Place.

GLOBAL CHORD MENU

Hold Step-Chord button while in Keyboard to access Global Chord menu, the parameters are the
following:

Spread affects the sequence globally, it increases the voices of all

the chords (limit of 8 notes) depending on their position per step.

Type affects the sequence globally, it changes the type of all the
chords, offsetting them depending on their position per step.

Voicing affects the sequence globally, it changes the voicing of all

the chords, offsetting them depending on their position per step.

Bass affects the sequence and the keyboard globally, it adds a lower octave note of the root of all
chords. The bass note has preference over spread on the 8 note limit.

CHORD BANKS
As explained, there are two banks of chords available, bank A and B.

Bank A avoids more dissonant chords like augmented, diminished and dominant chords, that may
be more difficult to fit in the composition without musical theory background. Any of those chords
are substituted by other options like minor or minor variants in any other inversion or 6th chords,
some of them introducing modulations (chords out of the scale with notes out of the scale). Avoiding
this way the augmented 3rd or the diminished 5th intervals.

Augmented, diminished and dominant chords, among others, can be found in Bank B, depending
on the selected scale. Bank B has been added in 3.0 fw.

The currently supported scales in Chord mode are:

The 7 diatonic scales: Major, Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Locrian, Pentatonic Major
and Minor, Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor (ascending).

RECORDING CHORDS
Chords can be recorded per step, one chord per step that contains the chord info. Chords can also
be recorded using the Chord modifiers of the Chord built-in keyboard: Chord Type, Voicing and
Spread.
But recording the arp notes generated by the chord arpeggiator is not supported.

60
CHORDS INTERNAL MODULATION
All the chord parameters but chord Bank and Auto Voicing can be modulated with the available
modulation sources: LFOs, MOD Lanes and MOD CV IN. It can be checked in the Internal
destination table.

61
MULTITRACK
Watch the Multitrack tutorial here.

The Multitrack Sequencer is one of the biggest values of the OXI ONE, with its 8 separate tracks
it's perfect for drawing drum patterns or monophonic melodies as well to have direct control of
them in one layout.

Every row represents a separate track, which is a monophonic sequence with independent
Init/End steps, time division and length, up to 128 steps.
A MIDI channel and output can be assigned to any of the tracks and several tracks can share the
same MIDI channel. The MIDI channel of all the tracks is by default the MIDI channel of the
sequencer (see sequencer settings). The pads can be used to trigger a Drum Kit or samples in
general, or even extra melodic lines. This means several up to 8 steps can be activated per column.

There are shortcuts for Mute and Solo tracks, as well as to enable/disable tracks from being
affected by random and LFO modulation:

- MUTE + 1st column: Mute/Unmute the respective tracks

- MUTE + 16th column: Solo/group Solo/no Solo the respective tracks
- MUTE + Any other column: Mute/Unmute the selected step for playback.

Holding MUTE button the Mute/Solo states are shown in the grid with blue and yellow colors
respectively.

Consider adjusting the Keep Mutes in Multi mode when loading patterns to your needs when
performing with different Multitrack patterns.

By holding the RANDOM or the LFO button the grid will show the 1st step of every track in yellow
and orange respectively, this indicates which tracks are affected by Randomization and LFOs
parameter changes. By default all tracks are enabled.

62
In Multitrack mode instead of Random Octave you have Random Gate, it doesn’t affect the TIEs.

For example, this is handy to use the LFO to send velocity modulation on a hi-hat track and not
affect other tracks.

SELECTED TRACK & MULTITRACK EDITING

In Multitrack mode, the function buttons affect by default the selected track. This way you can
copy, paste, duplicate, extend, clear, x2 /2 the time division, activate the randomizer, rotate and
transpose individual tracks without affecting all tracks in the sequence. Global Velocity, Gate and
Modulation encoders also affect the selected track only.

The selected track is highlighted with a different color (some color settings may provide easier
visualization in this mode) and also indicated with the pads of the 1st and 16th columns of the track
row in yellow color (when the step is not enabled).

CLEAR SINGLE OR ALL TRACKS

Press SHIFT + Clear to erase all the note events of the selected track. Or press SHIFT and long
press Clear to fully reset all tracks. Steps information, time division, length and note offset will
be set to default values but MIDI channels and MOD destinations of every track won’t be affected.

63
TRACK SELECTION
It is possible to change the selected track in different ways:
- Press the sequencer button and any pad
- Hold any pad long enough not to toggle the step, the track of this row will be selected
- When Track Selection Priority setting is enabled, tapping any pad of a different track will not
toggle the step but set that track as selected.

In the case you want to use these functions to affect ALL tracks at once, this means clear all
tracks, extend all tracks, randomize all tracks, rotate all tracks, etc. press FIRST the respective
Sequencer button and then the regular button commands. This also works for Global Velocity,
Gate and Modulation, affecting all tracks at once.

For example, Randomizer (Random generator) on a track (SHIFT + Random) creates a Mono
sequence on the selected track by randomizing the pitch, gate, velocity and time offset.
But Randomizer on ALL tracks (Seq button + SHIFT + Random) creates a rhythmic pattern on ALL
tracks, keeping the same note per track, ideal for drum kit use. It randomizes the triggers, velocity,
gate and offset of all tracks.

A row pad + SHIFT + Random: randomizes the velocity of the steps of the selected track.

TRACK PARAMETERS
As explained, each Track has its own Init and End points, with
individual length and time divisions. Review Init and End.

To access Track parameters hold the first pad on the desired track
and hold the Sequencer button in which Multitrack is active or hold
the Sequencer button and press the first pad of any track row.
In this screen you can modify:

● Track MIDI Channel. By default all track channels are the same as the Sequencer MIDI
channel, change this parameter to send each track on individual or grouped MIDI channels
to have total flexibility. You have to press the encoder to confirm the new MIDI channel.
● MIDI Output. By default the MIDI output port is the same as the Sequencer. But you can
adjust this setting per track.
● Note Offset changes the base note of all the steps of the track, by semitone on chromatic
or by degree in any other scale. It’s useful for setting drum racks or samplers.
● Time Division per track. We’ll expand this later on.

DIVISION (Y Div)
In Multitrack, Division menu parameters are set per track. This means you can select:

Track Selection to choose which track you are editing on the same screen.
Playback Direction of the track, being Forward, Backward, Pendulum, Random and Drunk.

64
Division Randomization of the track, from 0 to 100% of probability each step that the track’s Time
Division is going to change.
Time Division of the track. This is the same value that the Track Menu screen seen above.

You change all track’s Time Division at once by holding the Sequencer button and then press SHIFT
+ or to duplicate or split all the Time Divisions by two with each press.

Hold Init and End and any two steps to create a LOOP of all tracks between those steps. The
different time divisions will create rhythmic and melodic variations.

One way to reset the sequencer playback is by pressing SHIFT + MUTE + Sequencer button. To
reset all the sequencers at the same time, remember there is this option available, check the
transport section.

Tracks will also be reset/realigned after X bars if the Sequencer Reset parameter is enabled.

STEP PARAMETERS
Hold any step of any track to access its parameters. Here you can
modify per step:
Velocity and Gate as in other modes.

Note, you can edit the notes of one or more steps using the
encoder, the values depend on the active scale. Pressing the
encoder resets the note to the base note of the selected track.
Alternatively you can enter the Piano Roll view to draw your notes like in a mono sequencer.

Modulation, here you can change the value of the selected MOD Lane per step.

When Step-Chord button is active, holding a step will take you to the Step Submenu, here you
can edit:

Tglid or Track Glide. As the name suggests, this is a track parameter. It changes the time it takes
for the continuous pitch to reach the next note.
Note that the sound engine must support pitch bend in order to work.

Prob, or Logic Conditions explained in the Trigger Conditions section.

Retrig sets the times the note is triggered during the step duration, up to 5 times. For better
resolution change the Time Division of the Sequencer or Track.
When fully CCW you get to SKIP, if selected the step timing will be ignored by the transport bar,
thus making the sequence length shorter.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Use Skip to abruptly change the timing and feel of the pattern.
Randomize Skip steps to get different sequence lengths every bar and adding and removing
notes,
in Retrig on Random Perform screen.
–––––––––––––––––––––

65
Offset, sets the time deviation of the note from -40% to 40% of the current time division. ±25% is
a quarter deviation from the duration of the step.

PIANO ROLL new

You can enter the Piano Roll view of the selected track by pressing or holding the OCT encoder.
Here you can do Vertical Scroll of the grid like in the other modes and use note Preview, to preview
the notes you enter on the grid..

COLUMN VIEWS new

Press the first, third and fourth encoder to display the Velocity, Gate and Mod column views
respectively.

MULTITRACK KEYBOARD
In Multitrack Keyboard you can perform all tracks at once as a drum kit or each track individually
with the full keyboard with the press of a button. There’s also handy shortcuts for soloing and
muting individual tracks.

1st to 12th column is the performance area.

It changes from drum view with different velocity levels for each track, to play a drum kit for
example; or a regular keyboard for a single track when one track is selected/armed (14th column).

● 13th column is the Roller function, which controls the rate of the note repeat.
● 14th column selects Arm(ed) Track.
○ Without any selection and by default, the 8 track-drum view is displayed. If you
select/Arm one track in the 14th column, the keyboard will be displayed as a regular full
keyboard for that track
○ The different MIDI channels set per track are taken into account.

66
 ○ Activate Recording without any armed track play with the track triggers as a drum pad
with different velocity levels. Arm one track to play and record a specific synth with the
full keyboard. Review the Rec menu to take full advantage of the features.

- 15th column is Mute per track.

- 16th column is Solo per track, pressing several pads of the column makes Solo groups.

EUCLIDEAN GENERATOR (destructive)

The Euclidean Generator menu is only available in Multitrack mode. Press SHIFT + Random to
get into its menu.

The options are:

Len: sets the overall Length of the phrase. Adjusting the track length (outside of this menu)
automatically updates this parameter to match.
Puls: the number of equally spaced Pulses for the defined phrase length.
Rot: the number of Rotations or steps that the pulses are shifted to the right (for positive values)
and to the left (for negative values).
Inv: this Inverts the result of the algorithm toggling the active steps into inactive steps and vice
versa.

A new pattern will be immediately created after modifying any of these parameters.

The Euclidean Generator is destructive, meaning the track steps will be overwritten. However,
the Euclidean Generator doesn't affect steps with FIXED or LOCKED logic conditions. new

EUCLIDEAN MODULATION
The Pulses and Rotation parameters of the Euclidean Generator can be modulated per track with
any of the current modulation sources: LFOs, MOD Lanes and MOD CV IN.
When any modulation is applied to Pulses, new triggers will appear in the range defined by the
Length parameter of the Euclidean Generator in the affected track.
To add even more variation it’s also possible to modulate the Rotation parameter, that will rotate
the generated pulses in the range of steps determined by Length. In order for Rotation modulation
to take effect, there must be a modulation going on over Pulses. The notes/triggers manually
entered won’t be affected.

The new triggers generated by adding modulation are represented on the grid in orange color when
the sequencer is running.

DRUM PATTERN GENERATOR (non destructive)

The pattern generator is a new tool available in Multitrack mode based on the MI Grids module. It
can be used to generate drum patterns for Kick/Bassdrum, Snare and HiHat but, you can of course
trigger any other sound. The generated patterns are the result of a mix of many different rhythms

67
from traditional to more experimental ones that are combined offering interesting results. This mix
is adjusted with two controls X and Y.

Since version 4.4.6 the Drum Pattern Generator has improved the initial starting division internally
to allow a greater range of usable patterns. This will affect patterns and projects saved with Drum
Pattern Generator previously saved in older versions.

There are three engines available, they can be enabled in the first three tracks.
The first (bottom) track generates the triggers corresponding to the Kick or Bassdrum, the second
one to the Snare and the third one to the HiHat.

To activate any of the three lanes, hold button and tap any of the 3 pads (second column)
in dimmed blue color, one for each lane. A tooltip in the screen should appear indicating the status
of the engine in the corresponding track.
If the pattern generator is enabled, the corresponding pad will be lit in brighter blue.

Pattern generator is disabled on tracks 1 and 2 and enabled on track 3.

The triggers generated by this engine are represented on the grid in orange color when the
sequencer is running.
To enter the generator settings, press the sequencer button

and any of the three blue pads on the 2nd column.

You can also enter this menu by pressing SHIFT + Random. The
Pattern Generator menu will be shown for the tracks where this
engine is active.

- Dens: chance of getting a new event in the selected lane.

- X: X position in the drum patterns map (same for all lanes
in the current version).
- Y: Y position in the drum patterns map (same for all lanes in the current version).
- Chaos: amount of randomization introduced in the pattern engine.

Density control is independent for each track, meanwhile X, Y and Chaos are common to all of
them.
The great thing about the pattern generator is that it works on top of the notes you enter in the grid.
This means you can easily add spice and variation to any pattern you had programmed in a non-
destructive way, so you can always turn it off to go back to what you have displayed on the grid
All the existing options are available when the generators are running.

68
The length of the generated patterns goes up to 32 steps, so make sure to set the track length to
at least 32 to get the full flavor and variations of the patterns.

In 4.0 a new bank of rhythms has been added which can be found in the last values of the X
parameter.

The list of patterns available can be found on the Drum Patterns section. Remember that patterns
will be mixed depending on the X and Y controls.

INCOMING NOTE FILTERING

● MIDI In channel filtering. There are three options explained below.

○ OFF
○ MIDI Channel
○ Ch & Note (MULTI)

OFF NO ARMED TRACKS OFF ONE TRACK ARMED

Filter events per note ignoring the MIDI channel. Send all events to this track, no matter the
If the base note matches 2 or more tracks, send input MIDI channel
to the first one only.

MIDI Channel NO ARMED TRACKS MIDI Channel ONE TRACK ARMED

Filter events per track’s MIDI channel. Send events to this track if the track's MIDI

matches only.

69
POLYPHONIC
Polyphonic allows you to have total freedom with up to 7 notes per step and up to 128 steps.

STEP PARAMETERS

● Glide (only affects the cv outputs set to pitch)

● Probability and logic conditions per note
● Retrigger per note
● Micro offset per note
● Velocity per note
● Octave offset per note
● Gate per note
● 4 modulation lanes per step

Notes can be TIED through different steps.

You can Mute steps by holding MUTE and tapping on any step.

To enter the same note with different octave offsets you will need to move the grid vertically.
Remember you can do so in two ways:
- Get into the Y Div menu and use the first encoder.
- Push and turn the second encoder in the main sequencer screen.

Since there can be up to 7 notes active per step, adding the 8th note will remove the first previously
entered note and so on.

You can quickly transpose the whole sequence by holding the respective Sequencer button and
pressing any pad. The distance from the lowest note to the pressed pad in the column will dictate
the transposition direction and distance.

You can Copy chord Sequencers and Paste into polyphonic ones to fine tune your chord
progressions.

Copy and Paste operations in POLY mode are very powerful. You can:

· new Copy/paste single or multiple steps with all its parameters. These steps can be pasted
relatively on different positions and even different pitches. The maximum number of steps you can
copy is limited by the size of the step clipboard buffer.

70
· Copy/paste single or multiple TIED notes. new

. Copy/paste single or multiple columns of steps by pressing Copy and pressing on an empty
step on that column. It will copy all the notes of the selected steps. This is a fast way of copying
chords.

POLY BUILT-IN ARPEGGIATOR new 4.3.6

Poly mode features a built-in arpeggiator that uses notes from the grid as inputs, offering a unique
way to generate musical phrases. Arp parameters are stored within the pattern and can be recalled
per pattern.

ARPEGGIATOR PARAMETERS:
The arpeggiator parameters are equivalent to the ones shown in the ARP, parameters are accessed
by pressing the ARP button when on the grid note view. These ARP parameters are different than
the POLY Keyboard ARP which is accessed by pressing the ARP button from the keyboard view.

Accent is shown in the third position of the first set of four parameters, replacing Gate. The arp
note gate length can be controlled globally with the 3rd encoder.

You may apply a Euclidean pattern to the ARP by using Rot, Len, Puls settings. The Euclidean
pattern Rotation sets the number of Rotations or steps in which the pulses are shifted to the right
(for positive values) and to the left (for negative values).

ARPEGGIATOR SPEED VARIATION:

The arpeggiator can run at a different speed than the sequence.

71
STOCHASTIC
The stochastic mode is a generative mode to generate rhythmic and melodic ideas in a controlled
random way.

In this mode, the grid acts as an interface to parametrize a stochastic pattern generator. Although
the playhead movement is shown on the grid, it has no positional relation to the controls of the
generator. It is, in fact, playing an invisible evolving pattern that you can lock if you choose to.
Stochastic can have up to 128 steps, you can view the gates or velocity for all steps by entering
Gate or Velocity view. Press the Velocity Encoder to see the Velocity View.
Press the Gate encoder to see the Gate View. In these views, you can see your sequence shift/rotate
by pressing Shift + Arrow Left/Right. Loop Mode works in this Mode as well as Snapshot Mode.

GENERAL CONTROLS
● First 12 columns set each note's probability of being played.
● 4th and 3rd columns from the right sets the range up/down of the octaves and the time
division randomization named Long and Short, starting from the middle rows.
● Last two columns set the % of steps in which pitch and rhythm are being randomized: at
100% all the pitch or rhythm is randomized following the matrix settings, at 0% no pitch or
rhythm are being randomized thus looping the same pitch or rhythm (or both).

The setting of the 1st column from the right defines the probability that the next step is triggered.
Rhythmic flavor is added by the division randomizer given by the setting in the 3rd column from the
right.

For each trigger determined by the rhythm engine, two stages of pitch randomization are applied:
1. With a certain probability - defined by the 2nd column from the right (pitch randomization) -
a new note is generated depending on the note’s probabilities.
2. Octave shifting is applied to the previous resulting note. The octave shift amount is randomly
taken from the settings in the 4th column from the right.

72
The resulting note is stored in the internal “buffer”. When pitch probability is set to 0%, no new
notes are generated but taken from the internal buffer instead. The higher the pitch probability, the
higher chance to get new notes!

Many existing functions in the OXI One work in this mode as well, like Random Perform, Time
division settings, CV-Gate layout, MOD lanes, etc.

TIPS
● Set 0% on those last two columns to instantly capture the current sequence, and then low
% to make the rhythm evolve a little bit over time
● Set LFO to pitch, it’ll take you to notes outside the ones set in a beautiful way (set a low
amount for better results)
● Rand Perform Trig % acts as an offset of the probability set on all notes (columns), effectively
acting as a POST notes-density control
● Play with Random Perform -> Retrig
● Encoder 2 changes octave offset of the whole sequence, nice to adjust for drum machines
● Loop is available to use, please do so (same with Start and End points)
● CCs and CVs (and CC to CV) are available, plus Stochastic generates CV glides. The glide
amount depends on the resulting gate length and the division randomization
● CV pitch is a GREAT source of random CV to use on your rack that is also very controllable
in real time (lock a sequence like explained above to make the random CV repeat itself on
the length of the sequence, loop it manually, change the range of the random using the
octave settings…). Short gate lengths produce stepped random, long gate/legato produces
smooth random
● Shift your sequencer left and right using the arrow buttons.
● Use Init/End to create longer or shorter sequences with Stochastic Mode, to view the longer
sequence, enable Follow and go to Gate or Velocity view.
● Gate controls CV Glide, above 50 Gate will introduce some glide to your CV signal which
will increase the glide as you increase the Gate Length.
● Shift + Preview: Allows performing notes on the sequencer grid view, you will hear the note
as you press the grid.
You can further evolve your stochastic recipe by using any of the modulation sources (MOD lanes,
LFOs and CV In) to modulate some of the Stochastic engine parameters. Check the Internal
destinations table.

STOCHASTIC & HARMONIZER

Stochastic sequencers can follow any Chord sequencer when the scale setting is set to HARMO.
In this case, the columns represent the probability of the currently active chord degrees and not of
the scale notes.

73
MATRICEAL
Matriceal is a new and innovative generative mode. It consists of 4 independent tracks each of
them with 10 matrices of independent parameters, also called lanes. Each parameter lane has 16
steps.
Each parameter lane has its own settings with different Init and End points, speed (or time division)
and direction. These settings are reached by holding a parameter page button.

Parameters available: Trigger, note, interval, pulses, velocity, octave, gate, trigger probability, retrig
and glide.

When the trigger transport reaches a new active trigger, the parameter values are evaluated and
taken from their respective transport positions (which can be different from the transport position
of the triggers lane!). This way, different parameters can be decoupled from each other.

TIP
Assigning different lengths and speeds to different parameter lanes can create evolving and
complex patterns with very few steps; this is the magic of the Matriceal mode. And you have 4
tracks in one single sequencer to experiment with!

LAYOUT

GLOBAL TRACK SETTINGS

The selected track is indicated with 4 white lit bottom pads. Hold any of them to show the Global
Track settings screen. It will also change the selected track.

74
 Global Track settings

From left to right:

- Track MIDI Channel, by default it is the same as the sequencer channel.

- Track Note offset, by default it is the same as the sequencer root note. It is the base note.
- Track RLength, defines the Reset-Length of the sequence (in trigger steps plus pulses), by
resetting every parameter playhead on this track
- Track clear, as the name suggests, clears every parameter page on the track.

NOTE: Tapping any pad of the track area will set it as the selected track.

PARAMETERS PAGES
There are 10 parameter pages for every track. How the values are shown in the grid depends on
the selected parameter.

They are displayed as follows:

Where every color represents:

Hold any Parameter track button to access its settings screen.

Note lane settings

Each parameter lane can have different:

- Start and End points, hold Init and End buttons and tap any step on the matrix to set them.

75
 - Time division. This setting is available in each parameter screen.
- Playback direction. This setting is also available in each parameter screen.

Randomize can also occur by holding the parameter step settings button and pressing the random
button. Each parameter lane can have its own individual randomization amount which is set by
each respective parameters randomization value.

Playback directions
Pendulum and Drunk directions aren’t
represented* Start End points indicated in purple color

TRIGGERS (white)
The first parameter of Matriceal mode is the triggers page. When its transport bar reaches an active
trigger, a note is sent.
Triggers are the foundation of every Matriceal track. Any of the other parameters is evaluated every
time there is a new trigger, to determine the values of the new notes.

The trigger transport settings are defined in the trigger track settings.

Triggers represented in the matrix Triggers lane settings

There is a euclidean and a random generator that helps us to

add triggers.

Hold any of the sixteen steps of the matrix to open the trigger step
screen.

From left to right:

- Sets the length of the trigger euclidean engine (and sets the length of the triggers lane)
- Sets the number of pulses of the euclidean engine.
- Clear. Push to remove all the steps

76
 - Random trigger placement. Press to randomly add triggers. Higher values means more
triggers. 100% to enable all 16 triggers. Randomization can also occur by holding the
parameter step settings button and pressing the random button.

Turning the length or pulses encoders will immediately create a euclidean pattern. However, to clear
and to randomize you have to press the respective encoder button. Holding a trigger step will allow
you to begin a euclidean pattern from the held step.
You can also enter triggers manually: quick tap to toggle triggers on and off.

Once we have a few triggers we can continue to the next parameters, the additional lanes will affect
note output when the triggers you just placed intersect with the parameters values.

NOTE (yellow)
Note lane determines the pitch of the note. While the Note
parameter page is selected, hold any step to show the Note step
screen. This menu shows from left to right:

- The step note value. It is relative to the track Note offset

found in the track settings by holding the 4 white pads of
row 1, which is the track base note. Turn the encoder to
modify and press to reset it.
- The probability of the step note value being applied. 0% means the default base note
(defined on the global track settings) value will always be applied and no note offset will
occur.
- Press the 3rd encoder to clear and reset all the note values of the track.
- Turn the 4th encoder to adjust the randomization amount and press to randomize the note
values. Remember that randomization can also occur by
holding the parameter step settings button and pressing the
random button.

The grid represents the step values relative to the track Note offset.
Higher pitch values are shown in yellow; the higher the pitch, the
higher the LED brightness. Lower pitch values are shown in red.

The end pitch of the triggered note will be calculated taking into
account the sequencer octave, root, the track Note offset, the step
note value, the step octave and the accumulated interval.

INTERVAL (salmon pink)

The interval lane is one of the most interesting features of this mode. Instead of defining a static
pitch value, it is an accumulative value that defines the next interval or position of the selected
scale. Everytime the transport of the Interval lane, the interval value of the step is summed with the
note value affected by all note offsets. Once the accumulated value reaches the Minimum value
(Min) or Maximum value (Max) defined in the Interval lane settings, it goes jumps back to the
opposite Minimum (Min) or Maximum value (Max) set in the parameter lane settings; and vice versa.
The interval is also evaluated between ratchets/step repeats.

77
 Interval lane settings

The Interval step screen is equivalent to the note step screen.

Interval step options

TIP: Play with subtle interval variations mixed with simple pitch sequences with different speed
and length to get a simple but evolving melodic idea.

PULSES (orange)
This parameter draws inspiration from classic sequencers like the M185. It allows you to repeat
steps (pulse), essentially keeping the playback head of all parameters within a specific step for a
defined number of pulses. You can fine tune the trigger behavior during that step by selecting
different pulse types.

● Trigger on every pulse/repeat (default).

All pulses

● Trigger only during the first pulse/repeat.

First pulse

● Triggers span across the entire duration of the pulses. The triggers would be “TIED” in this
setting.

78
 TIED pulse

Note: when any step’s pulse value is different than 1, those extra pulses account for the RLength
calculation.

VELOCITY (turquoise)
Velocity defines the MIDI velocity of the triggered notes.

Velocity values are represented with proportional brightness levels in the grid.

OCTAVE (blue)
Adds positive or negative octave offsets to the pitch. You can set the probability
of this offset to happen on a step basis.

Octave step

GATE (purple)
Like in other sequencer modes, Gate defines the note length.

Gate values are represented with proportional brightness levels in the grid.

Gates can go from 5% of the step length to 100%. After that you’ll find TIE
and LEGATO.
TIE combines two consecutive triggers in one single note and LEGATO adds
the Legato effect where the Note On of the next note is sent before the Note
Off of the previous one.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Set some steps to TIE and combine it with different time divisions and lane length to get
interesting results.
–––––––––––––––––––––

79
 Gate step

While the Gate parameter page is selected, hold any step to show the Gate step screen.
- First encoder sets the step gate value.
- Press the 3rd encoder to reset all steps to the default gate value.
- Turn and press the 4th encoder to adjust the randomization amount and randomize the gate
values.

The gate values are displayed with different brightness levels.

TRIGGER PROBABILITY (violet)

Chance of a step being played/triggered.

RETRIGGER (green/cian)
Determines the number of note repetitions within the step duration when there’s a new trigger and
the chance of that happening.

You can also set the step to SKIP by turning counter clockwise, which skips one trigger pulse. This
introduces more rhythmic variation and it’s another way of decoupling triggers from other
parameters.

Retrigger step

GLIDE (light blue)

Glide affects the CV outputs only.

EXTERNAL NOTE INPUT

You can enter pitch information with an external keyboard in Matriceal Mode.
Enable REC, hold a step inside the Note parameter page, and press any key on your external
keyboard to register the pitch information. Note that the entered notes will be quantized to the scale
selected.

MATRICEAL KEYBOARD
A keyboard is available to trigger notes on the first tracks assigned MIDI channel only. The keyboard
can not be used to record into Matriceal lanes, it is available to play over the Matriceal output.

80
HARMONIZER
The Harmonizer is a scale setting for Mono, Polyphonic, Multitrack and Stochastic Sequencer
modes (Followers).

The pitch of the notes is taken from the active chord of the Chord Sequencer or the active set of
notes in a Poly sequencer (“Leader”).
This works as follows: the rhythm and the pitch trend are set by the sequencer of the Follower, but
the final pitch is based on the active chord progression of the “Leader”

HARMO SETUP
Set at least one of the sequencers in Chord or Poly modes. When
there is one sequencer in Chord or Poly mode, the other
sequencers (in Mono, Poly, Multitrack or Stochastic modes) will
have a new scale option available: HARMON.

In the sequencer view, change the scale until HARMON is shown

on the screen: press SHIFT + turn 3rd encoder CCW. The
HARMON scale is followed by “Sq #”. # is the number of the Chord Sequencer that will act as the
“Leader”.

Note that the octave parameter of the follower sequencer is still shown on the bottom right corner
of the screen.

Once the scale is set to HARMO, the respective Sequencer will follow the notes of the active chord
progression. To change the “Leader” sequencer just press SHIFT + turn the 4th knob (like for root
note).

PERFORM WITH HARMONIZER

In this mode you are not only in key, but any changes applied to the leader sequencer will affect
the rest of the sequencers with Harmonizer ON. For example, changing the scale, transposing or
modulating the leader sequence or playing directly on the powerful Chord Keyboard, the Poly
keyboard or any external MIDI keyboard or controller will impact the Follower sequencers in a
musical way.

The HARMONIZER works also when using the keyboard of the “Leader” sequencer.
In order to keep the last chord played from the chord keyboard or the last set of notes of the Poly
keyboard, the “Leader” Sequencer has to be deactivated/off. Keyboard HOLD works as expected.

If the “Leader” Sequencer is running and playing a set of chords or notes and the user triggers any
chord or set of notes in the keyboard mode (or external MIDI keyboard), the latter will have
preference over the sequence.

81
If the “Leader” sequencer is muted and your Mute Behavior is set to disable the “Leader” sequencer
(toggle), then the harmonization of the follower sequencers will stop and the sequencers following
the leader will output current notes instead. The transport must be running for the Harmonizer to
effect the following sequencers.

FOLLOWER KEYBOARD
The keyboard in the Follower sequencer will show the set of notes used by the Harmonizer engine
in real time. You can easily perform over that set of notes to get nice musical results.

Notes used by the harmonizer represented in green

NOTES ABOUT THE HARMONIZER

When you place a step in a lower octave the resulting notes being harmonized may not have a lower
pitch, due to the octavation effect of the harmonizer.

So, if there’s a step in C3 and another in C2 in the Follower sequencer, the resulting notes after the
harmonizer engine are one octave from each other (not necessarily a C, it depends on the chord).
But if instead of a C2 or a D2, a B2 is set (still lower than C2), the resulting note depends on the
chord that the master is playing at that moment, and it can result in a higher pitch note. The
harmonizer takes chord degrees starting from the root note C2.

Note as well that any modulation or randomization applied to the master are taken into account by
the harmonizer and applied to the follower sequencers.

The Harmonizer Octave (Jump) max setting determines the maximum octave leap that a follower
sequencer is permitted to make.

82
 MOD LANES
Press the MOD button to enter the modulation layout. There are 4 independent modulation lanes
per sequencer (8 in Multitrack Mode).

The modulation lanes can be used for different purposes:

- To automate or manually control MIDI parameters: CCs,
Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and Program Changes
- To automate or manually modulate internal parameters
described in the Internal destinations table.
- Routed to any CV output as well (see CV Gate configuration).

If the MOD lanes have any MIDI parameter assigned, the respective encoder will send values over
MIDI, so you can control with the 4 encoders at the same time any external parameters of any DAW,
hardware synthesizer or sampler, modular synth or mobile apps.

If there's any automation curve, this means, there are different values per step in the modulation
lane, the encoders will act as an offset of the step values. Turning an encoder will increase/decrease
all modulation values for the selected modulation lane and will maintain your curve. Turning all the
way to the positive or negative range of the encoder will flatten the curve. The display shows a
minimum and maximum value as you turn the encoder.
–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To maintain the Mod Lane shape, if you don't want to clip the upper and lower values while
turning the knob, you can use the MOD lane offset feature. Hold shift and turn the encoder to
apply offset.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Each encoder modifies MOD 1 to 4 respectively.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To fine tune the value of a modulation, hold any step you want to modify and use the
encoders to adjust the four respective modulation values.
–––––––––––––––––––––

The MOD lanes main screen labels indicate the active modulation destination. They will show the
enabled destination in this order of preference: MIDI/CC, Internal destination 1, Internal destination
2 or all OFF.

The name of the MOD Lane can be manually edited, maximum 4 characters. Alternatively, if you
assign an Instrument CC definition, those CC values which have any parameter assigned, will
display the abbreviated label.

83
LANE SELECTION
The selected MOD lane is indicated in the screen. When you turn or press any encoder, the
respective MOD lane is selected. The grid will display its values accordingly.

TIP: In Multitrack Sequencer to access 5-8, hold the mod button and select a row 5-8.

The last selected/touched modulation will be the one assigned to the Mod control (encoder 4) in
the main Sequencer view and also in Keyboard layout. In Multitrack mode the last selected track
prevails and its modulation lane will be the one assigned to this 4th knob.
In the step menu, as well as the velocity, octave, and gate, the value of this selected modulation
lane can be edited.

MULTITRACK LANE SELECTION

In Multitrack mode there are 8 modulation lanes, one per track. How can you select all of them with
the encoders?
If the selected track is one of the first four (1 - 4), the MOD menu will show the modulation lanes of
tracks 1 to 4. And if the selected track is one of the last four (5 - 8), it will show the information of
these last four. Press the MOD button and any grid row to quickly change the selected lane.

Since there are 8 modulation lanes available, 2 different ways of toggling from the 4 first lanes and
the 4 later ones have been implemented.
1- Hold the MOD button and tap any of the rows of the grid. This will automatically show the
modulation lane of the new selected track.
2- Hold any step and the screen will show the modulation value of that step and the selected track.
Turn the first encoder to change the track.
Use the 4th encoder to adjust the modulation value of that step.

MOD LANE ON - OFF

Press the encoder button to turn each lane on or off, preventing it from sending MIDI messages
or internal modulations. When the MOD lane is OFF:
- The selected MIDI parameter will keep its current value.
- The internal modulation will be disabled and the destination will remain untouched
Any twist of the encoder will turn it ON again and jump to the next value.

Hold SHIFT + encoder press to enter the MOD lane settings.

MOD LANE OFFSET

By holding SHIFT and turning the encoder, you can adjust the MOD Lane offset, which ranges
from -127 to +127. This offset adjustment is confined within the Maximum and Minimum values
specified in the MOD Lane settings, ensuring that the output values do not exceed these set limits.

84
LANE SETTINGS
Press SHIFT + encoder turn or SHIFT + encoder press to enter the MOD lane settings. Turn the
encoder of the respective lane to navigate the lane settings menu, press the encoder to enter into
a setting and use back to leave the submenus.

- CC DEST: selects the MIDI parameter (Channel Pressure,

Program Change, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend or CC) the
modulation lane sends.

- MOD MAX: maximum MOD value that can be set per step for
this lane. From 7 to 127. This is a fast way to select the
maximum modulation value for an internal destination or CC
parameter.
- MOD MIN: minimum MOD value that can be set per step for this lane. From 0 to 120.

- INT DEST 1: Internal parameter destination of this lane. Check the Destination table section for
all the routing options.
- INT AMT 1: % Amount applied After the MOD value. An extra control useful for fine tuning the
range of the internal modulation.

NOTE: As this version of the firmware, the Amount is an absolute value. Depending on the
destination parameter, the MOD Amount required may be as little as 1 - 2 units - Octave, Arp
Division, etc. - or up to 100 for other parameters like Velocity, Gate, Trigger probability.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: The range of a MOD lane is 0-127.
–––––––––––––––––––––

- INT OFF 1: Offset to the MOD lane values before applying the internal modulation. Use it to get
negative or bipolar modulation values.

- INT DEST 2: Defines the 2nd internal destination.

- INT AMT 2: Amount of the 2nd internal destination.
- INT OFF 2: Offset of the 2nd internal destination.

- DIVISION: Time division of the MOD lane. Remember it is also possible to use the and
quick actions in the MOD Lane view.

- SMOOTH: factor that controls the time required (slew) to go from one modulation step value
to the next one. 0 means the smooth factor is ‘Off’ and the modulation instantly jumps from
one step value to the next one. This parameter affects the CV outputs as well when a MOD
Lane is assigned to a CV in the CV Gate view.

- LINKED: MOD Lanes are by default linked to the note sequence, this means that any change
applied outside the MOD view (start/end points, division, clear, expand, condense, etc.) will
also affect them. You can manually disable this behavior by setting Linked to ‘No’. Additionally,
when performing any changes to the parameters of a MOD lane inside the MOD view, the
current lane will be automatically unlinked for convenience.

85
- INIT: Start step of the MOD lane. Can be also set using the Init button.
- END: End step of the MOD lane. Can be also set using the End button.
- RENAME: rewrite the name of that particular CC MOD lane so it’s displayed instead of the
default CC or Destination value. The rename screen is explained here.
- COPY: copy settings and values to be pasted in any other MOD lane.
- PASTE: paste settings and values previously copied from another MOD lane.
- CLEAR: clear values and settings.

MOD EDITING
You can edit the modulation step values in a performative way with Motion Recording or Drawing
them directly in the grid. It is also possible to randomize the entire modulation lane by using the
SHIFT + command.

MOTION RECORDING
Real-time recording of MOD lane value changes is possible by pressing the Rec button while in the
MOD lane menu and manipulating the encoders. You can record the encoder movements by playing
along with the sequence, which will generate a looping automation envelope that lasts for the
duration of your sequence. It's important to note that modulation recording does not adhere to the
sequencer's Record settings and it's possible for previous modulations to be overwritten.

Furthermore, incoming MIDI messages from external devices like Pitch bend can also be recorded,
provided that the message kind and value on your external device corresponds to the one set on
the MOD lane (ensure to match the MIDI channel of your sequencer if you are filtering by MIDI
channels in your configuration).

Press any of the encoder buttons to turn OFF that motion. Turn or press the encoder to turn ON
and continue the motion.

DRAWING MODULATIONS
Each modulation lane can also be edited (drawn) directly from the grid in the sequencer view (see
the section below). However, in the keyboard view, we have maintained the keyboard layout
showing only the MOD screen so you can play notes at the same time you tweak the modulation
values.

The grid shows from bottom to top, lower and higher values of each step for the shown modulation,
being 0 the minimum and 127 the maximum. The minimum and maximum values can be adjusted
in the MOD lane settings menu.

Modulation lane displayed on the grid

86
PER STEP MODULATION

If you press any step, the modulation value will be automatically set. For finer adjustments you can
hold any pad of the grid and use the encoders. When doing so, the screen will show the 4
modulation values of that step, you can modify any of them with the encoders. Press the encoder
button to reset the modulation value to 0.

Step 6 modulation values

TIP: To adjust modulation from a previous value, first
press shift, then select press the pad column you want to
adjust, release shift and turn the encoder, your old value will be maintained and you will adjust the
step value from that initial starting point.

To reset the modulation value of any step back to zero you can also tap the bottom pad twice.
First tap sets the lowest value and second tap sets it to zero.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Remember, to change the shown modulation lane, simply turn or press a different encoder or
hold MOD and press any pad of the grid, from bottom to top every row represents a modulation
lane.
–––––––––––––––––––––

87
EXTERNAL MOD MATRIX new

The OXI One is now equipped with a versatile matrix capable of both receiving and sending data
through its MIDI ports (USB, TRS, BLE) and CV inputs. This allows for modulation of internal
parameters or re-routing to other MIDI devices.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Plug any modulation source to your CV input or connect any external MIDI controller
—whether wired or via BLE wireless—
to unlock a new dimension of control possibilities with your OXI One.
–––––––––––––––––––––

To access the External Mod Matrix menu, simply double-tap the

MOD button.

This menu allows you to assign the CV input for modulation tasks
and to configure up to 16 MIDI mappings. Each mapping can be
directed to various internal destinations or relayed to external MIDI
devices.

Let's explore these configuration options in more detail.

CV INPUT
CV TO MIDI
The CV input on your OXI One serves a dual role as both a Start-Stop/Reset In and CV modulation
input. It can be flexibly routed to either affect internal parameters or be redirected to send Control
Change (CC) and other MIDI commands to external MIDI devices.

In the following graph you can see an example of how an analog AD envelope is smoothly translated
into a CC (Mod Wheel in this case) parameter. Complex modulations generated in a modular system
can be translated to MIDI for a tight modular to MIDI integration.

Only Positive voltages will be converted, negative values will be clipped to zero (except when using
for sending Pitch Bend).

Analog envelope to MIDI CC

88
CV AS INTERNAL MODULATION
Another interesting use of the CV input is modulating internal parameters. The Internal destination
table is the same as for the LFOs and the MOD lanes.
There are 2 internal destinations, the modulation amount can be independently set per destination.
It accepts both positive and negative voltages for bipolar modulation.

MIDI MAPPINGS new

Once you access the new MIDI matrix/mapping tool by tapping twice on the MOD button, now
apart from routing your CV input you will be able to route up to 16 incoming MIDI signals per
sequencer to internal destinations, sequencer parameters, MIDI Output or all of them at the same
time. MIDI Port Merge will allow incoming MIDI to be merged and mappings sent to MIDI Ports A,
B and C.

In the newly introduced MOD matrix tool you can not only configure the CV input, but you can also
route up to 16 incoming MIDI signals per sequencer to:

- Internal sequencer destinations like velocity, gate, pitch, etc.

- Specific sequencer parameters like Scale, Root, randomizer settings, etc.
- Global parameters like tempo or FILL activation
- Forward incoming data as single or multiple messages to simultaneously control various
parameters on external MIDI devices.
- And a combination of the above!

MIDI MAPPINGS SETTINGS

For every Mapping on the list, you will be able to configure the following parameters:

● TYPE MIDI message for it to be recognized and processed.

● MIDI In channel, there are several options:

○ Same listens to the (general) MIDI channel of the sequencer (not of the track channel
in Multitrack or Matriceal modes),
○ ALL: listens to any MIDI channel if the CC or Note value matches
○ 1-16: listen to that MIDI channel specifically.

● LEARN allows you to map any incoming signal to that specific mapping.

● TRACK only works on Multitrack and Matriceal sequencers, and lets you select the track
(or tracks in Multitrack mode) affected by the incoming signal (example: mute several tracks,
control the random amount in one or more tracks to create fills, etc.)

● CC FWRD Out. Stands for CC Forwarded message to the MIDI Outputs.

Sets the CC number or MIDI message to be externally forwarded to the same MIDI channel
assigned to the sequencer (or track in Multitrack and Matriceal modes).
In Multitrack mode, the message will be only forwarded to the first track assigned not all.

● CC-INT AMT 1. CC and Internal Destination Amount 1.

89
 Sets the amount of the modulation applied to both the CC forwarded message and the
Internal destination 1, depending on which is active.

● CC-INT OFS 1. CC and Internal Destination Offset 1

Applies an offset to both the CC forwarded message and the Internal Destination 1,
depending on which is active. Useful when working with different unipolar and bipolar
destinations.

● INT DEST 1 and 2. Internal Destination 1 and 2.

These settings display the parameters that are available for modulation, which can be found
in the Internal Destinations section. The modulation applied is non-destructive and is
implemented as an offset, meaning it can either increase or decrease the initial value of the
destination parameter. There are 2 Internal Destinations per Mapping.

● INT AMT 2. Internal Amount 1.

Set modulation amplitude applied on Interndal Destination 2.

● INT OFS 2. Internal Offset 2.

Applies an offset to the Internal Destination 2, useful when working with different unipolar
and bipolar destinations.

● PARA 1 and 2. Parameter 1 and 2.

The second list of modulatable parameters includes sequencer settings such as Mute,
Scale, Randomizer options, Start/End points, and global settings like Tempo or FILL
enabling. It's important to note that these are "destructive" assignments; they will alter the
value of the selected parameter permanently, and it will not revert to its original value prior
to the modulation (unlike the non-destructive modulation applied via the Internal
Destinations).
There are 2 parameter modulations per Mapping.

● PARA AMT 1 and 2. Parameter Amount 1 and 2.

Set the modulation amplitude applied to these parameters respectively.

● PARA OFS 1 and 2. Parameter Offset 1 and 2.

Define the center point of these parameter modulations.

● CONSUME. This option allows you to determine whether the incoming signal is passed on
to subsequent MIDI mappings or sent through additional MIDI outputs (Consume No), or if
it is not forwarded at all (Consume Yes).

● COPY MAP. This enables you to duplicate the settings from the Currently selected mapping
or from All mappings of the sequencer. The copied values are stored in memory, allowing
you to transfer and paste Mappings to any other sequencer or pattern within the current
project or a different one.

● PASTE MAP. This function works in accordance with your last copy action. If you copied a
single mapping, you'll be able to paste that specific mapping (Paste Current). If you copied
all mappings from a sequencer or pattern, you'll be able to paste the entire set of mappings
to a different sequencer or pattern (Paste All).

90
● CLEAR MAP resets all the settings of the currently selected mapping to their default values.

● LAST VALUE shows the last received value on the selected Mapping.
This specifies the type of the MIDI message that must correspond in order to be recognized
and processed. It lets you choose between CC, Note On or Note Off messages.
○ Note On messages are interpreted with a value of 127.
○ Note Off messages are interpreted with a value of 0.
○ For CC messages the actual received value will be used

● NUMBER.
This specifies the Control Change (CC) or Note number that must correspond to the
incoming

91
 LFOs
Another great way to create variation on your sequences is to automate parameters with the LFOs.
There are 2 LFOs per Sequencer and both can modulate one internal and one MIDI parameter.

LFO RANGE
The LFO output range depends on the chosen destination. It has been adjusted to get the optimal
control for each use case. When the LFO is applied to an internal parameter, the values are bipolar
(-128 to 127) while if the LFO is sent to a MIDI CC, the values are adjusted to the optimal MIDI range
which is 0 to 127.

CC Destinations
When the LFO is sent to a CC parameter and the amount is 100%, the CC range goes from 0 to
127. Reducing the amount, for example to 50%, will set the range from 0 to 63. It is possible to
apply an offset so the CC parameter minimum value is shifted. If the offset is +64 and the amount
is 50%, the CC will go exactly from 64 to 127.

PITCH BEND
The maximum range is adjusted to -8192 to 8191 in this case.

INTERNAL Destinations
When the LFO is applied to an internal destination it will introduce positive and negative changes.
It’s a bipolar value controlled by the Amount and Offset settings in the LFO.
Take into account the LFO resulting value is not normalized between destinations. It depends on
how many values the parameter has. Check the Internal Destinations section for more information.

LFO SCREEN
The LFO screen consists of two pages (note the 1/2), each one with the same information and
parameters available for each LFO available on that sequencer:

Waveform, there are many to choose from, even unusual shapes as showed next

92
Press the 1st encoder to access the Retrigger setting, to choose if you want or not to retrigger
the LFO with the notes on the sequence.

Rate can be clocked up to 16 bars moving the encoder to the left.

Moving to the right will get you to free running LFO. LFO’s only
works when the OXI One is running. Free running mode will reach
a maximum of approximately 200Hz. Press the 2nd encoder to
adjust the Phase of your LFO.

Amount, sets the modification range of both the internal and

external modulation. Alternatively you can press SHIFT + encoder turn to adjust the external/MIDI
amount separately.

Offset, adds offset to the LFO value. Useful for unipolar destinations like CCs and AT messages or
for certain internal destinations.
Press the 3rd encoder to toggle the 3th parameter between Amount and Offset, and be aware that
this offset is not applied over the CV outputs, as they have their own offset setting over the CV /
Gate Mode

Internal Destination. The number of internal destinations depends on the sequencer mode. Some
examples are Velocity, Note (quantized to scale), Octave, Gate, CV Pitch Bend, Time Division, etc.
The full list of available parameters for each mode can be found in the Internal Destinations Table.

NOTE: As this version of the firmware, the Amount is an absolute value. Depending on the
destination parameter, the LFO Amount required may be as little as 1 - 2 units - Octave, Arp
Division, etc. - or up to 100 for other parameters like Velocity, Gate, Trigger probability.

External/MIDI Destination like CC messages, Program Change,

Aftertouch and Pitch Bend, this way you can automate parameters
in DAWs, hardware synths or mobile apps.

To change between Internal and External destination press the 4th

encoder

CV LFOs
LFOs can be routed to any CVs out as well. This routing is independent of the Destination parameter
above, so you can have the LFO as internal and/or external-MIDI modulation plus CV out
modulation. The CV out has its own offset value that can be adjusted from the CV GATE layout.

CV LFO Output Range

The maximum range of the CV LFO output is 0 to +5V initially upon assignment. Adjusting offset
from the LFO menu will not result in negative LFO voltages, as values will still be clipped between
0 and +5V. In order to get voltages down to -3V which is the limit of the hardware, you need to
adjust the offset of the CV output from the CV / Gate Mode. CV Outputs have an 8v range -3v to
+5 volt so full offset on LFO will result in a center voltage of 1v with peaks at -3v and +5v.

LFOs in MULTITRACK Mode

LFO can be enabled/disabled on individual tracks in Multitrack mode: when the LFO button is
pressed, the first column will light up orange, press a pad from the respective track to stop LFO

93
from affecting it. The selection is independent for LFO 1 (Orange Colored) and LFO 2ss (Pink
Colored).

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Press SHIFT + ENCODER to set back the default value of the selected LFO Parameter.

TIP: LFO to Pitch is a fun way to modulate a sequencer, which would still adhere to the chosen
scale. See this in action creating a one note Arp Style Modulation.
–––––––––––––––––––––

HOW MODULATIONS ARE APPLIED

Amount is not normalized between destinations. It depends on how many values the parameter
has.

For example 1 amount is 1 semitone or 1 octave. LFO waves have 23 or so values, so once you
reach that value increasing the amount, you are maxing out the modulation and whatever portion
of the wave that goes above will keep the maximum parameter. It "clips" the modulation
introducing a plateau of no changes.

LFOs and Ext CV Input are bipolar, introducing positive and negative changes.
MOD Lanes are unipolar, so the values are always “increased/added” to the parameter
destination.

LFOs and MOD Lanes have an offset control. You can use it to remove the negative component of
a LFO or to add a negative offset to a MOD Lane.

 RECORDING
MIDI INPUT CHANNEL FILTERING
When Recording is active, the sequencers will receive the incoming MIDI information depending on
the MIDI In channel filtering configuration option.

- OFF: the Selected sequencer will listen to any incoming MIDI note from any channel.
- MIDI Channel: every sequencer will listen to notes only from its own MIDI channel. In multitrack,
notes are filtered by the track’s channel and in case all tracks share the same MIDI channel, all
messages will go to track 1 only.
- Ch & Note (MULTI): every sequencer will listen to notes only from its own MIDI channel and in
Multitrack mode, apart from track’s channel filtering, only the MIDI messages whose note
matches the root note of any of the tracks will be taken into account (drum mode).
More details in the Multitrack Mode section.

Another setting to take into account is the MIDI In Port (A-C) Merge. If enabled, incoming MIDI data
will be forwarded not only to the sequencers whose MIDI Port is A but also to ports B and C as long
as the MIDI channels match. This setting is useful when using Ports B and C of the OXI Split. This
merge will occur on incoming notes from USB and TRS. MIDI Merge for CC, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch
and PolyPressure has been implemented.

Specific to the Multi Sequencer mode, if the MIDI filter by channel is ON, then each track may have
a different channel assigned and your external keyboard channel needs to match in order to record
into that track. If you have multiple tracks with the same MIDI channel, only the lowest track (track
1 is on bottom, track 8 is on top) with that channel will receive external MIDI during recording.

RECORDING MENU
Press SHIFT + Rec to access page 1 of the Recording Menu,
parameters from left to right. To exit press Back button or press
Shift + Rec to cycle pages and exit:

Quantization (Qnt). Toggles recording quantization ON/OFF,

when quantization is ON, the recorded notes are automatically
quantized to the grid division. The setting can be enabled/disabled
during actual recording.

Time Quantization % (Qnt%). Percentage of quantization to the division of the selected

sequencer. To apply the quantization, confirmation is required by pressing the same encoder. This
is a destructive process that can be undone with undo. The percentage will affect steps recorded
when (Qnt) is enabled or can be applied after a recording when (Qnt) is off. The quantization can be
applied during actual recording or after recording has ended while the transport is moving.

Overdub, recording behavior. If ON, the sequencer will keep the already existing notes, adding new
ones as played. If OFF, the transport bar will delete the events of the sequencer that are in its path.
The setting can be enabled/disabled during actual recording.

95
Looping, 1-Shot or Extend.
Three different behaviors that work as follows.
- Looping will continue recording events inside the actual track length; the initial and end
steps will remain unchanged.
- 1-Shot will stop the recording once the transport bar reaches the final track step.
- Extend, the length of the track is increased until you stop the recording or the transport bar
reaches the maximum possible track size. This behavior allows MIDI Live Looping using
external MIDI input or the OXI One Keyboard layout.

COUNTDOWN new
In the Recording Menu press SHIFT + Rec to show the second
page of the Recording menu, where you can find the countdown
and metronome settings.

Starting from the left, the first encoder enables the Countdown
and sets its duration. If enabled, a Countdown will appear on the
screen when hitting the Rec button and if the playback is active.

The countdown will be shown according to the selected setting: 2 Bar, 1 Bar, 1/2 Bar, Beat or Off.

If the OXI One is stopped, it will start playing after the Countdown when you hit Play.

If the selected sequencer is inactive, it will start playing after the countdown. Otherwise, it will start
recording immediately and the countdown will just serve as a time reference, but it won’t prevent
you from starting recording events.

METRONOME new

Watch the metronome tutorial here.

On this screen you can choose the Metronome settings.

Starting from the left, the second encoder selects the CV or Gate output for the metronome. The
CV/Gate metronome is an audible signal 5Vpp ready to be connected to your mixer or headphones.
If using a Gate output, remember to check the Gate voltage to avoid damaging your headphones,
mixer or speakers.

The third encoder selects the MIDI channel to output a MIDI metronome signal.

The fourth encoder selects the metronome mode as “always” or “only during count in”.

96
EXTERNAL NOTE INPUT
When the OXI One is stopped, press the Rec button and the step recording will be enabled.
Then, in the sequencer view, keep any step pressed and any input MIDI note from an external
source (MIDI keyboard or controller) will be recorded into the pattern.

STEP RECORDING
Another way to program notes is the Step Recording (SH-101
style).
Hold the REC button and press Play to enter this Mode.

This mode allows for note entry from both internal and external
keyboards individually or at the same time, operable during
playback or while the sequencer is paused. When external MIDI
is used, the encoders will still be required to insert Rests and Ties.

SCREEN CONTROLS:

- Reset. Press the first leftmost encoder to RESET the writing pointer to the beginning of the
sequence, enabling fresh input from the initial position. This will reset your pattern length to
one step.
- Pos. Rotate the second encoder to navigate the writing pointer throughout the sequence,
selecting the position for new steps. This will also change your pattern length.
- Rest. Press the third encoder to insert rests into the sequence, effectively increasing its length
by adding pauses between notes.
- Tie. Press the fourth encoder to insert ties between notes, creating legato connections that
also extend the sequence's length.

The display also provides real-time feedback on the sequence's length, updating dynamically as
steps are added via the internal or external keyboard.

In order to exit Step Recording mode, press the Record + Play button combo again.

In Multitrack, you can record into any of the 8 tracks by selecting the track first and inputing notes
from the OXI keyboard, or external keyboard. In this case the external keyboard must also have a
matching MIDI channel to the sequencer or tracks. With MIDI filtering enabled, any matching MIDI
channel from an external keyboard can send the track MIDI, the track must be selected. Each track
can be reset separately to start from the beginning step.

RECORDING QUANTIZATION
OXI One can record in quantized or unquantized ways. Recording can be done from the built-in
keyboard or from an external controller or MIDI hardware.
Quantization can be toggled ON/OFF by pressing SHIFT + REC inside the Rec Settings Menu.

97
When quantization is OFF, the original timing of the recording is preserved.

You can later apply quantization by pressing the 2nd encoder. The quantization amount is set
by the (Qnt%) parameter and it reduces the timing offsets of each step until they are 0 (fully
quantized).
This is a destructive process; but it can be undone by pressing undo. It will also remove the
manually set timing offsets.

98
 CV GATE Configuration
SHIFT + LFO opens the CV Gate grid layout.
This mode is shared by all Sequencers to avoid overlapping routings, so this configuration is unique
for the project and it is not saved per pattern.

There’re 8 cvs and 8 gates that can be fully configurable in real time with playback on, this means
you can use this layout as an innovative tool for performance. You can turn on/off outputs, change
voice or Sequencer, modulation source or clock division with the press of a button.

The CV GATE configuration is stored in the project data and not per pattern since it affects all the
sequencers.

The diagram below explains how the layout it’s distributed.

WORKFLOW

1- Sequencer selection:
The first 4 top rows select which Sequencer is providing the source, 1 to 4. Pressing again on the
active pad will turn off the corresponding output.

Tip: you can use this layout to create transitions in your performances adding and removing voices
and rhythms. Pressing on a highlighted sequencer turns it OFF.

2- Control signal selection:

Once you have selected the sequencer that will be sending information through this CV or Gate,
you need to choose which type of control signal this CV or Gate will output.
There are the following available options:

99
 ROW from the top CVs GATEs
5 Pitch Gate
6 Velocity Clock
7 Trig Envelope Accent
8 Modulation Modulation Threshold
- Sequencer LFO
- Sequencer Modulation lanes

By default, the pitch of the first voice (or track if it’s a Multitrack mode sequencer) is selected when
activating one CV or the Gate of the first voice/track when activating one Gate. The OXI One will
automatically increase the voice/track number when assigning additional CV/Gate Outputs on that
Sequencer.

The selection is remembered if you change the sequencer source but it’s cleared when you remove
the sequencer.

CV ROUTING
NOTE: The CV range is constrained by hardware to -3 +5 V. CVs come calibrated for precise pitch
tracking, but if you need to recalibrate, please follow the instructions on Calibration.

Each Sequencer mode has a different amount of voices available that you can route to the CVs and
Gates:

· Mono 1 voice
· Chord up to 8 voices
· Polyphonic up to 7 voices
· Multitrack up to 8 voices (1 per track)
· Stochastic 1 voice
· Matriceal up to 4 voices (1 per track)

Pitch, Gate, Velocity and Trig Envelopes modulation sources are correlated by voice number.
After selecting one of these sources you can choose which voice it reads from with the first encoder,
for example:

100
PITCH
If the cv is set to pitch, the first parameter is the voice index.
Voice index: always 1 for Mono and Stochastic sequencers, from
1 to 7/8 for Poly and Chord modes or track 1-8/4 for Multitrack and
Matriceal respectively.
The second parameter is note offset in semitones.
The fourth parameter specifies the CV voltage format. It can be
either:
- V/Oct (most modular and semimodular systems). From -3 to +5 V.
- Hz/V (Korg standard pitch tracking). From 0 to +5 V.
- 1.2V (Buchla standard pitch tracking). From 0 to +5 V.

To carry a typical modular voice you need to choose the same Sequencer and voice number for
Pitch, Gate or Trig Envelope and Velocity.

Configuration example

CV Settings
- CV 1 set to Pitch and assigned to SEQ 1
- CV 2 set to Pitch and assigned to SEQ 2
- CV 3 set to Vel and assigned to SEQ 2
- CV 4 and CV 5 set to pitch Voice 1 and Voice 2 assigned to SEQ 3
- CV 6 set to Pitch and assigned to SEQ 4
- CV 7 and CV 8 set to TrigEnv and assigned to Track 1 and Track 2 respectively of SEQ 4

GATE Settings:
- Gate 1 assigned to SEQ 1
- Gate 2 assigned to SEQ 2
- Gate 3 assigned to SEQ 3
- Gate 4 to 6 assigned to Track 1 to Track 3 of SEQ 4

VOICE PITCH ALLOCATION

You choose the amount of voices and which CVs you want to route them through. Sequencing
chords and polyphonic melodies on your modular synth is very straightforward and as flexible as it
can get because you can select the number of voices you want to output. In case of having

101
fewer CVs than the total available voices for Polyphonic and Chord modes, the voices will be sorted
by the last played.

When working polyphonically (Poly and Chord modes), how the available CVs and Gates (voices)
are assigned to the played notes depends on the CV & Gate voice allocation setting.
- LRU: The least recently used CV or Gate will be assigned for the new note event. The voices
won’t play in unison since each CV or Gate has assigned a different note.
- UNISON: All available CV and GATES voices configured for the sequencer play in unison for
single notes. Further notes are divided among the voices to maximize the use of the
assigned CVs and Gates. If there are more notes than the available CVs or Gates, the voices
will still be sorted by the last played.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: The current voice allocation settings do not result in the same notes always being sent to the
same output, the sorting will result in some rotation of outputs when more than 1 voice is
assigned in the matrix.

TIP: Use the UNISON setting with paraphonic modular configurations and synths to
control the pitch of the different oscillators independently, creating unison and glide
effects.
–––––––––––––––––––––

You can also output the same signal through different CVs, for example the Trig Envelope of the
same voice through 2 different CVs and each envelope with different attack or the same LFO with
different offset setting.

NOTE VELOCITY
Same as pitch but for the voice velocity information. Note velocity
is assigned to the CVs the same way as note pitch but.

If the CV is set to Vel, the second parameter chooses if gated

behavior or not:
- Gated: the voltage is proportional to the note velocity
during the length of the note, it goes back to 0V when the note finishes.
- Not Gated: the voltage of this output is always proportional to the velocity of the last note.

TRIG ENVELOPE
In the OXI One we have introduced Triggered Envelopes, a kind of
ADSR envelope that changes dynamically with the sequence step
settings.

By default, the maximum Amplitude of the envelope is

proportional to the velocity of the step that triggers the envelope.

102
When the velocity is 127, the voltage reaches +5V. You can adjust velocity from the velocity encoder
on the grid or velocity view in some Sequencer modes.

The Decay/Release duration is proportional to the step gate length. They cannot be set
independently. You can adjust gate length from the gate encoder on the grid or the gate view in
some Sequencer modes.

The Attack can be manually adjusted in the CV setting or modulated by any of the following
sources:
- Sequencer’s LFO (access from the LFO Button)
- Any of the sequencer’s MOD lanes (access from the MOD Button)

In case of tied notes the release will be defined by the Gate length of the last tied note. Ties can
be adjusted from the Grid view or from the global gate encoder on the grid.

Sustain is defined by a percentage of the max amplitude level, being 100% the value defined by
the velocity, so you will set the amplitude by either your default Velocity value or how you have
altered the values after input, or how you are modulating velocity. The transition from the peak of
the envelope to the sustain level (decay stage), is a slow curve. This decay time cannot be set
independently.

This implementation tends a bridge between MIDI and CV messages, by having a dynamic envelope
ready to modulate parameters of your modular synth like VCA, LPG, LPF and any other fun
acronyms on your rack.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: You can apply modulation and/or randomization to Gate and Velocity
to also modulate Amplitude and Decay of the Trig Envelope.
–––––––––––––––––––––

LFO - MOD
The last sources for modulation, at the bottom row, are the LFOs
and the Modulation Lanes. When selected, the 1st encoder lets
you choose from LFO 1 or 2 or Mod Lanes from 1 to 4 (1 to 8 on
Multitrack sequencers) as source. These are configured
respectively on the LFO and the MOD screens, visit their respective
sections to know more.

LFO works independently of the parameter destination set on its configuration screen but it’s
affected by the LFO’s Amount and Offset controls.
Mod responds to the instant value generated by the assigned MOD Lane as well as the On/Off
behavior.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: You can perform over your LFOs and CCs routed to MIDI (USB, TRS and BLE) and CVs at the
same time, that means you can create automation, record envelopes manually, offset them and
turn them On/Off affecting all MIDI parameters and CV outputs you want.
–––––––––––––––––––––

103
The range of the CV output when assigned to a LFO or a MOD lane is 0 to +5V.

In order to get voltages down to -3V which is the limit of the hardware, you need to adjust the Offset
(2nd encoder) of the CV output in the CV Matrix menu. CV Outputs have an 8v range -3v to +5 volt
so full offset on LFO to -100 will result in a center voltage of 1v with peaks at -3v and +5v.
Remember, by default Lfo and Mod outputs are unipolar, from 0 to +5V.

GATE ROUTING
GATE
Outputs a trigger that remains active while a note is held. As for pitch, the voice/track setting of the
gate has to be properly set to output the right events.
Each gate can be configured as V-Trig or S-Trig.
- V-Trig: when the trigger is active, the output voltage is HIGH. Low otherwise.
- S-Trig: when the trigger is active, the output voltage is LOW. High otherwise.

The output voltage can be set for ALL the gates to 5V or 10V, in the Config, Analog section.

S-Trig can also be used as an inverted gate for patching purposes.

CLOCK new 4.0.6

Outputs a 50% pulse clock signal at the chosen clock division, independent from the sequence
division.
The clock division is 1/16th by default. Clock trigger width is one half of the chosen clock value.

ACCENT new 4.0.6

The gate level goes high when the velocity of a note within the pattern reaches the Threshold value.
You can select the track number or voice assigned to this value. You can use this trigger output to
add accents to your patch. This accent gate will remain high until the next step on the grid is below
the threshold value set.

TIP:

THRESHOLD new 4.0.6

When the value of the modulation reaches the Threshold value, the trigger level goes up.
You can select between any of the modulation sources: LFOs or MOD Lanes. The gate will output
when the LFO or MOD lane meets the threshold and remains high until the LFO or MOD Lane goes
below the threshold.

104
CV GATE STATUS
The CVs and Gates status is represented in the grid in real time.
When any CV out has a positive or negative voltage (different than 0), the corresponding column
will be illuminated in blue or red color respectively.
When any Gate is active, its column will be lit in blue color.

MIDI to CV conversion
The OXI One offers versatile options for converting MIDI data, such as notes or CCs, from various
external sources including TRS, USB, or Bluetooth, into CV signals. MIDI Port Merge will allow
incoming MIDI to be merged and sent to MIDI Ports A, B and C.

EXTERNAL MIDI NOTES TO CV

You can easily convert MIDI notes and Pitch Bend messages into CV pitch. This feature is
particularly useful when using an external keyboard.

Follow these steps to enable this functionality:

1. Sequencer Configuration: Ensure the sequencer routed to the CV and Gate outputs you
want to use is configured to receive the correct MIDI channel.
2. MIDI Channel Global Settings: Adjust the MIDI channel of the Sequencer and the MIDI
Channel filtering setting to ensure proper communication.
3. Monophonic and Polyphonic Play: Assign one CV output to pitch and one Gate (or
Trigger envelope) for monophonic play. For polyphonic capabilities, assign multiple CV
and Gate outputs. As many as voices you want to play.

MIDI CC to CV for MODULATION new

OXI One also allows you to map CC and Aftertouch MIDI messages from external sources to any
of the CV outputs. This feature enables the conversion of digital signals from MIDI controllers or
Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) into analog signals suitable for modular synthesizers.

Usage Example:

Consider the following scenario for a practical application:

1. CV Output Setting: CV1 is set to MOD 1 of Sequencer 1.

2. CC Assignment: In Sequencer 1, MOD 1 has CC 1 (modwheel) assigned to it.
3. MIDI Message Reception: When a CC 1 message is sent to OXI One, it translates and
outputs a corresponding voltage through CV1, proportional to the CC value.

Important Note: Ensure that MOD Lane 1 is turned OFF. If left ON, the MOD Lane's settings will
override the external CC value.

105
Recording Functionality: If the REC function is enabled under these conditions, the external CC
value will be recorded into MOD Lane 1, allowing for dynamic modulation recording. And it won’t
be translated to the CV output

CV INPUT
OXI One has one CV input which also acts as Start-Stop / Reset In. You need a TRS to TR-TR
splitter to be able to use this input.

Double tap the MOD button to enter the EXT MOD MATRIX menu where you can choose the CV
input routing options. It is explained in its corresponding section.

Please note: Should you require this input for synchronization, ensure that the control voltage (CV)
is not employed for modulation.

ANALOG CLOCK
OXI One reads and outputs MIDI clock according to a 24 ppq timing. The analog clock input and
output resolutions, as well as the Start-Stop/Reset behavior can be changed on Configuration.

106
 SNAPSHOTS
Snapshots allow you to temporarily save the state of all four sequencers and revert to that state
after making any adjustments in your patterns, such as changes to notes, modulations, or
sequencer settings like mute states, most parameters available to save within a pattern are available
for Snapshot, modification during the Snapshot and recall to return back to the original state prior
to entering Snapshot mode. It's a great tool to create transitions and breakdowns in your
performances.

Press Load and Save simultaneously to create a snapshot of all the sequencers. Load and Undo
buttons will start to blink.

Once a Snapshot has been taken, press Load or Undo to release the snapshot.
The Snapshot is always released with 1 Bar Sync.

To cancel a snapshot you can press and hold SHIFT and press Load or Undo buttons.

During a SNAPSHOT, it is now possible to prepare the Mute state of individual sequencers and
tracks in Multitrack they will have after the snapshot is released. To do so, double tap the
sequencer button or the multitrack track first pad while MUTE is pressed or latched. new

You can still Save your changes in the sequencer before going back to the previous state in case
you want to keep them. Note: When snapshot is active, saved patterns are not set as the loaded
one.

107
 ARRANGER
This is the place to create your Songs, link several patterns or launch them manually.

Whether you like to control every detail or prefer to let things flow a bit more during performances,
the Arranger is here to help. It’s a tool that lets you stay focused on the music, while OXI One
takes care of the transitions in the background.

The Arranger really has two main uses. The first is creating a full song sequence from start to
finish, letting it play automatically through the patterns you’ve programmed. The other use is
setting up pattern arrangements that loop indefinitely where you control the progression manually,
giving you a middle ground between total manual control and full song mode. I’d recommend
trying both out to see which approach best fits your workflow.

To use Arranger mode, you’ll need a few patterns saved first, the bottom four rows are blue, these
are the Arranger rows where you’ll load your patterns by pressing a pattern and then an empty
arranger slot. Each row links to one of OXI One’s four sequencers, with fifteen slots (for patterns)
for each row, plus a master lane that lets you control launch settings like the master track
assignment.

To add a pattern to the Arranger, hold down the Pattern pad and press any of the blue pads to
place it in your chosen sequencer lane. Any gap between filled slots will automatically fill with
blank spaces, which is great for creating mute states. In the Arranger view, holding a slot pad
shows you the assigned pattern in red and brings up the Arranger slot settings.

Now, here’s the basic layout: inactive slots are blue, empty or blank slots are gray, and active
slots will show their respective pattern color. On the screen, you’ll see the progression bars for all
four tracks, which track is the master, and options to save and load arrangements also called
songs. Songs are arrangements of your saved project patterns. You can even save up to ten
“songs” per project!

While placing patterns, there are two key settings visible when holding a slot pad: Program/Bank
Changes and Repetitions. For Program/Bank Changes, you can turn them off, assign a specific
message number, or match the message sent by the pattern as saved in the pattern settings.
Repetitions are straightforward but really powerful. They range from one to nineteen or can be set
to infinite. Let’s say you want a pattern to repeat four times before moving on—just set repetitions
to four. Infinite mode is awesome if you want more time to trigger the next pattern manually
without it looping back, it will repeat until you choose to select another pattern or move the
Master.

While setting up your arrangement, you can copy and paste a slot, clear them with Shift + X,
change a pattern’s color, or shift a pattern slot around with the arrows. To save your arrangement,
you can simply save the project from the menu or by doing SHIFT + Save (which saves
everything)

108
Remember that any changes made to the patterns during playback will be lost when a new slot is
loaded unless you’ve saved it.
Finally, by holding down a launch clip in column 16, you can access settings for the Master Lane.
In the Master lane you can set the Master track and launch quantization. When launch
quantization is OFF, the master lane defines when other sequencers advance to the next slot. The
quantization sets the amount of internal clock bars to complete one pattern repetition cycle, it will
determine when the sequencer lane will advance to the next slot, following the number of
repetitions set in the Master lane. When set to ‘Off’, the pattern has to reach the last step of the
pattern. The Arranger must be ON for this setting to take effect.

And don’t forget, at any time, you can trigger other Arranger clips or even patterns directly from
the Load page.

To activate the Arranger playback hold SHIFT + Arranger, you'll see “Arranger ON” on the screen.

The Arranger is then ready for playback. Turn OFF Arranger from playing with the same command.

The Arranger is deactivated once you play Stop. Re-enabling the Arranger loads the patterns of the
first slots of the current song.

ARRANGER SCREEN
The arranger screen shows the Song that is loaded. A song
represents the arrangement, how the patterns are set in the
timeline. Every project contains 10 songs.

The arranger status, the global quantization bar and the progress
bar of each sequencer is also displayed.

Lastly, the two Load (folder) and Save (disk) icons indicate that you can navigate the songs loading
and saving them with the 1st and 2nd encoder respectively.

GRID LAYOUT
The bottom 4 rows of the grid represent a 15 position sequence for each Sequencer respectively,
so you have 4 lanes of pattern playback. The top 4 rows are the Memory Access where you can
see the saved patterns of the 4 Sequencers.
The 4 bottom pads of the last column set the Master Lane.

109
To add a pattern on the arranger, simply hold its slot pad and press a pad in the desired position
of the corresponding Sequencer lane of the arranger. If there’s a gap between the last arranger slot
when adding a new pattern, the middle slots will be filled with blank patterns.
–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Holding the slot pad in the arranger view shows in RED color the pattern assigned to this slot.
–––––––––––––––––––––

LAUNCH-LOAD QUANTIZATION SETTINGS

Once in the Arranger layout, hold any of the four pads of the launch
settings region to show the Launch quantization settings menu.

From left to right:

- Master lane: it can be ‘Off’ or it can be any of the 4
sequencers.
- Launch quantization. Sets the amount of internal clock
bars to complete one pattern repetition cycle. When set to
‘Off’, the pattern has to reach the last step. The Arranger must be ON for this setting to take
effect.
- Glob(al) or Load quantization. Same as Launch quantization but in this case applies when
the Arranger is OFF and the patterns are manually loaded.
The term Global is used because this value is also taken by default for the Punch-In
sequencer “Global” setting.

New 4.5 TIP: Project loading is quantized according to the LOAD Quantization Setting.

ARRANGER’S LOGIC
When the pattern playhead has met the launch quantization settings, the play count decreases by
one. When the repetition count reaches 0 the next pattern is loaded. In case of the Multitrack mode,
track number 1 is taken as the reference one.

110
When the repetition parameter is set to infinite, the play count is not decreased thus the pattern
will be looped in the arranger. The Arranger will remember the last repeat option when creating
more slots or placing patterns.

The Arranger is deactivated once you press Stop. Re-enabling the Arranger loads the patterns of
the first slots of the current song.

The arranger can send Program Change and Bank Select MIDI messages just before (2 clock
ticks) launching the next pattern. Bank Message Type can be set
to cc 0 or 32 in Config settings.

Blank slots don't play any notes or modulation and serve as

silence or separation between patterns. Their duration is one bar
(16 steps at 1/16th) and the number of repetitions of it can be
changed, so one single blank pattern can be set to a number of
repetitions or loop to infinity. Blank patterns are represented in
white.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: Setting blank patterns on a lane with infinite repetitions allows you to have parts where one
sequencer stops sending notes until you manually launch the next pattern of your song.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Empty slots, that is any slot with no pattern assigned, will be

simply skipped.

Hold any pad of the arranger lanes to see the parameters of the
slot:

- Program Change, it can have different settings.

- = means the selected slot will send the same
Program Change as the one stored in the pattern.
- Off avoids sending any Program Change message.
- 1-16 to force a Program Change message for the
selected slot.
- Bank Select, same as Program Change but for the Bank
Select CC message. Bank Message Type can be set to cc 0 or 32 in Config settings.
- Pattern that the selected slot launches
- Repeats or repetitions of the pattern in the selected slot. From 1 to infinite repetitions (after
19 you will see the infinite icon displayed).

You can copy/paste arranger slots using the Copy and Paste
buttons. You can clear arranger slots by doing SHIFT + X (clear).

Hold any pad of the pattern lanes and you will get another way to
change the pattern color of each sequencer. Useful to identify
patterns in the arrangement.

111
You can shift arranger slots by holding the slot and press left or right arrow buttons (16 and 64 step
page buttons).

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: To set the Arranger ready for playback press SHIFT + Arranger, you’ll see “Arranger ON” on
the screen. The Arranger then ready for playback. Turn OFF Arranger from playing with the same
combination of buttons.
–––––––––––––––––––––

On the main screen you can see on the right the countdown for each arrangement track pattern to
change to the next one and a progress bar of it. If the current pattern is looped a round arrow will
indicate this.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure to save all your changes in your patterns because every time a new pattern is automatically
loaded by the arranger, changes are lost.

SONGS
Songs are states of the Arranger, that means you can save and recall structures of sequenced
patterns per Project. Any unsaved changes to the patterns being played won’t be saved on your
Songs.

Any time you save a Pattern or a Project, the current Song will be also saved.

Press SHIFT + Clear to clear the song. You can undo by pressing Undo.

CLIP LAUNCH
Quick tap any slot of the Arrangement to launch the pattern assigned to the slot according to the
launch quantization setting. This is helpful to move to a different section of a song when the patterns
are looping. You can launch several patterns at once, one per sequencer.

The slot waiting to be launched will blink until launched.

Note that you can launch patterns from different projects directly on the grid by turning the first
encoder and choosing any other project.

PATTERN OVERRIDE
When the arranger is ON a different pattern can be loaded in the slot that is being played by the
arranger. The new pattern will be loaded synchronously:
- Press LOAD + any arranger slot.

112
MASTER LANE
The master lane is the one that controls the progression of the arrangement. Any of the 4
sequencers can act as the master.
The sequencer set to master will carry the progression of the arrangement, so the other sequencers
move to the same slot of the master independently of the pattern length and slots repetitions.

It’s meant to be used together with the Clip Launch feature and to control the progress of the
arrangement when the involved patterns have different lengths or time divisions.

How is this especially useful?

- Enter a few patterns in the arranger with different repetitions but not looped (less than
infinite).
- At a certain position in the arranger, say slot number 5, set the pattern repetition to infinite.
- This means that at some point, all the sequencers will be looping and stuck in the slot 5 of
the arrangement.
Clip Launch a different pattern on the Master Lane and you will see that, at the same time the
master sequencer changes to the next slot, the others sequencers will follow.

113
 SHORTCUTS
Turquoise represents the secondary color, all secondary functions are triggered/accessed with
the SHIFT button.

GENERAL

- SHIFT + Sequencer 1-4: Sequencer configuration screens

- MUTE + Sequencer 1-4: Turn On/Off the sequencer for playback

 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
When the OXI One starts up, Sequencer 1 is selected by default and Internal synchronization mode
is set.

The following sync options can be changed by tapping SHIFT + STOP (sync) button when the
sequencer is stopped:

- INT: OXI One follows internal timing, according to the selected tempo.
- USB: OXI One follows the clock timing received only through the MIDI USB port.
- MIDI: OXI One follows the clock timing received through the MIDI TRS jack or MIDI
Bluetooth.
- CLK: OXI One follows the clock timing received through the clock input.

OXI One reads and outputs MIDI clock according to a 24 ppq timing. The analog clock input and
output resolutions can be changed in the Config menu.

When OXI One is synchronized with a DAW in which

either of them act as a master clock, remember to adjust
the MIDI clock sync delay in your DAW settings to
correct the latency generated by the DAW. The bigger
the audio buffer, the greater the latency is and it also
increases with the project CPU load.

Ableton Live settings

AUTO SYNC
Autoclock can be enabled/disabled in the Config menu.
When Autoclock is enabled and the OXI One is stopped, it will start automatically playing once a
MIDI Start message is received from an external source: MIDI TRS, MIDI BLE or MIDI USB. The OXI
One will automatically follow the external source’s tempo.
Autoclock for Analog clock is also implemented from firmware version 3.8.

INTERNAL CLOCK FALLBACK

When the OXI One receives a MIDI Stop message or when the MIDI external synchronization source
is lost, it will automatically revert to internal sync.
This behavior is not present when the sync source is the analog clock.

117
ANALOG CLOCK
OXI One has one Input and one Output clock ports. They allow you to interface with modular
synthesizers and pre-MIDI technology that was capable of clock synchronization (such as early
drum machines produced by Korg and Roland). OXI One is capable of both sending and receiving
synchronization signals.

Both input and output clock ports are TRS jacks. The clock signal is wired to the Tip and the Start-
Stop/Reset signal to the Ring of the jack connector.

The Start-Stop/Reset input and output signals can behave in two different ways according to the
Reset/Start-Stop IN/OUT setting in Config:
- OFF ignores the input reset and deactivates the output reset signals. When OXI One’s sync
is set to Clk, it will start running as soon as it receives clock pulses. You should set this
option if you are not using the Start-Stop/Reset signal (patching a mono TR cable for
example).
- PULSE RESET: Both input and outputs will behave as RESET signals.
- Output: A short 4ms pulse is sent through the Reset out before the first clock out
pulse when OXI One starts or continues playing.
- Input: When OXI One’s synchronization is set to Clk and a reset pulse is received in
the Reset Input, OXI One will reset, this means reset the sequencers playheads.
- RUN-STOP. Other synths or drum machines expect a different kind of reset signal. The run-
stop or start-stop output is high when the OXI One is playing and low when stopped. On
the other hand, when Sync is set to Clk the OXI One will only play if the run-stop or start-
stop input signal is high and stop otherwise.

The Reset/Start-Stop Input is an analog signal: CV In. Its usage as an analog input is described in
the MOD CV IN section. You can use the Clock Input and the CV Input at the same time, but make
sure the Reset/Start-Stop IN/OUT setting is set to OFF to avoid undesired effects.

118
 CONFIGURATION
This menu shows global parameters that affect OXI One as a whole. Some of them are presented
as customization options so the user has the best experience with the instrument. You can
choose what options adapt best to you.

To navigate through the list, use the first encoder. To advance to the next level of the menu press
the encoder button. The Configuration menu is divided in the following sections.

MIDI
● OXI Split selection. If activated, MIDI TRS would be compatible with the OXI Split increased
bandwidth. (Note: in the current HW version it is mandatory as well for Bluetooth to work)
● MIDI Transport Msgs Send. If activated, Clock, Start, Stop and Continue MIDI messages will
be sent through TRS, USB and Bluetooth.
● Start Stop Msgs Ignore. If activated, OXI One transport won’t be controlled externally.
● MIDI TRS Thru. If activated, OXI One will echo the MIDI messages received through TRS on .
● MIDI USB Thru. If activated, OXI One will echo the MIDI messages received through USB.
● MIDI BLE Thru. If activated, OXI One will echo the MIDI messages received through Bluetooth.
● MIDI In channel filtering.
○ OFF: the Selected sequencer will listen to any incoming MIDI note from any channel.
○ MIDI Channel: every sequencer will listen to notes only from its own MIDI channel. In multitrack,
notes are filtered by the track’s channel and in case all tracks share the same MIDI channel,
all messages will go to track 1 only.
○ Ch & Note (MULTI): every sequencer will listen to notes only from its own MIDI channel and in
Multitrack mode, apart from track’s channel filtering, only the MIDI messages whose note
matches the root note of any of the tracks will be taken into account (drum mode).
More details in Multitrack Mode section.

● MIDI In Port (A-C) Merge. If enabled, incoming MIDI data will be forwarded not only to the
sequencers whose MIDI Port is A but also to ports B and C as long as the MIDI channels match.
This setting is useful when using Ports B and C of the OXI Split.
● Keyb Scale note quantizing. Input notes are quantized to the scale of the sequencer that
receives the event.
● Send CC of MULTI muted tracks. If activated, muted tracks will still send modulation
information.
● MOD-CC Smooth Factor. Default value of the MOD Lanes smooth factor.
● CC Transport Msgs transmit Channel. Selects the MIDI channel where the transport CC
messages (start, stop, continue, rec) are sent.
● PC (Program Change) receive global Channel. If enabled, allows to change the loaded pattern
of the different sequencers with PC messages from external sources. More details in the Change
pattern with PC section.
● Bank Select LSB or MSB. Selects if Bank Select will be LSB or MSB.

119
ANALOG
● PPQ Out. Changes the pulses per quarter note OXI One sends through analog Clock Out.
(24PPQ, 1PP16, 2PPQ, 1PPQ)
● PPQ In. Changes the pulses per quarter note OXI One receives on analog Clock In.(24PPQ,
1PP16, 2PPQ, 1PPQ)
● Reset/Start-Stop IN/OUT. Configures the behavior of the analog Reset/Start-Stop IN and OUT
signals.
○ OFF ignores the input reset and deactivates the output reset signals. When OXI One’s sync is
set to Clk, it will start running as soon as it receives clock pulses.
○ PULSE RESET: Both input and outputs will behave as RESET signals.
■ Output: A short 4ms pulse is sent through the Reset out before the first clock out pulse when
OXI One starts or continues playing.
■ Input: When OXI One’s synchronization is set to Clk and a reset pulse is received in the
Reset Input, OXI One will reset, this means reset the sequencers playheads.
○ RUN-STOP. Other synths or drum machines expect a different kind of reset signal. The run-
stop or start-stop output is high when the OXI One is playing and low when stopped. On the
other hand, when Sync is set to Clk the OXI One will only play if the Reset input signal is high
and stop otherwise.
● Gate V Out. Configures the output voltage of all the gates to 5V or 10V.
● Remember params when On/Off individual outs. If Off, all the settings of a CV/Gate output
are reset, otherwise they are remembered when turning the output back on.
● CV & Gate voice allocation. Both options are described in the CV GATE section.
● Pitch bend range. Let you set the number of semitones of the CV Pitch bend range.

PERFORMANCE
● Play/Pause behavior determines how the Play button behaves when the OXI One is playing.
○ OFF, pause is disabled. This means the Play button only has any effect when the OXI One is
stopped.
○ ON pause is enabled. While the OXI One is playing, tapping the Play button will pause.
○ RESET instead of pausing the playback, it will Reset the playback head of all the sequencers
according to their punch in settings.
○ FILL, play button acts as FILL modifier button. When it’s held, steps set to FILL will play and
steps set to NOT FILL won’t.
● Mute behavior. Explained in Mute section.
○ Toggle Instant
○ Toggle On Release
○ Mute Instant
○ Mute On Release
● Keep Mutes in Multi mode when loading patterns. When this option is set to “Yes,” the mute
status of tracks will be preserved even when a new pattern is loaded. This continuity applies only
if the new pattern being loaded is not empty; if it is, mute statuses will be reset.
● Keyboard Layout.The available Classic or Isomorphic layouts explained in the Keyboard section.
● Auto Sync. Enables or disables Autosync.

120
● Taps count for tempo. Sets the number of taps that are taken into account for calculating the
new BPM value. Infinite means that the average calculated tempo is never reset thus offering a
smoother transition. On the contrary, a smaller value will offer more immediate tempo
adjustments.

● Keyb Arp Velocity. If PER NOTE PLAYED, the keyboard arpeggiator will respect the velocity of
the notes at the time they were played. If GLOBAL, the keyboard arpeggiator will apply the current
keyboard velocity when playing the notes.
● Keyb latch when hold is active. This selects how the arpeggiator will behave when new notes
are entered from the internal or an external keyboard and HOLD is active.
○ Latched (or sequencer mode) will keep adding new notes to the pattern until the note buffer is
full.
○ Normal (Non Latched) will reset the played pattern when a new set of notes is entered.
● Arp Patt Reset on Note Change. If set to ‘Yes’, it resets the arp pattern to the beginning every
time there’s a change in the set of arpeggiated notes.
● Loop Sync release. Changes the behavior of the LOOP function when it’s released, SYNC BAR:
the sequence will continue on the next bar; SYNC BEAT, the sequence will continue on the next
beat or step; NO SYNC, the sequence will continue exactly when it’s released.
● Harmonizer seq Octave (Jump) max. This performance setting determines the maximum
octave leap that a follower sequencer is permitted to make.
● Harmonized seq stays in base octave. If set to "Yes," the follower sequencer ignores the octave
pitch offsets from the master sequence's notes, ensuring all notes are played within its base
octave. This maintains the harmony around the root note, regardless of the master sequence's
octave variations.
● Load Project BPM update during playback. Chooses if the BPM is updated with the saved
BPM of the next newly loaded project during playback or not.

WORKFLOW
● Lock root and scale during playback. If activated, the scale and the root won’t be modifiable
during playback to avoid unintentional changes.
● Confirm scale change and quantize. This setting is thoroughly explained in the Scale section.
● Lock sequence steps with preview ON. If activated, Disables entering or removing steps from
the sequence when Preview is enabled. This allows for example in multitrack mode, that if you
created a customized layout of steps with different notes and velocities, you can trigger samples
on a drum machine without deactivating the steps.
● Latch SHIFT with double tap. Enables the latch SHIFT by double tapping it.
● Track select priority in multitrack. Explained in the Track Selection section.
● Reset step parameters when clearing. The new entered notes or chords will have default
values instead of the previous ones. This affects only the modes Mono, Chords and Multitrack.
In Poly mode the new steps are always reset.
● Default Velocity value. Default Velocity value of new notes and the keyboard.
● Default Gate value. Default Gate value of the new notes and the keyboard arpeggiator.
● Selected track indicator. In Multitrack sequencers this setting lets you turn on/off the yellow
colored grid pads that indicate the selected track.

121
SYSTEM
● MIDI IN Monitor. Incoming MIDI data monitor.
● LEDs Animations. Set the amount of fading and other LED effects.
● LEDs Brightness. Two level brightness setting.

○ Host No Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host without providing power. Required by
some USB adaptors.
○ Device Self Powered: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Device without getting power from the
USB outlet. This avoids possible ground loops caused by the USB supply. Reconnect the USB
cable for this to take effect.
● FW & HW Version. Displays firmware, hardware and BLE versions.
● RESET. Resets OXI One to factory settings while maintaining calibration settings.

122
 MIDI ROUTING

By default OXI One will MIDI Thru messages from one source to another. For example, the MIDI
data received via Bluetooth MIDI (BLE MIDI) will be output through USB MIDI, TRS MIDI output
and, if any CV/gate assigned to a sequencer, to the respective CVs or gates.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: This means OXI One can act as a MIDI hub and-or a MIDI to CV
converter for all kinds of setups and situations.
–––––––––––––––––––––

Thru messages from one source to another can be deactivated from the Configuration menu.

The MIDI data generated by OXI One will be sent to the corresponding MIDI channel through all the
selected communication vias, say MIDI USB, MIDI TRS and MIDI BLE. Check the Sequencer
settings to know more about this.

Each sequencer will listen to input MIDI data depending on the global configuration set in
Configuration, MIDI In channel filtering.

MIDI MONITOR new

You can check the incoming MIDI data using the MIDI IN Monitor. It can be accessed from the
Config menu, under System section or from anywhere by holding SHIFT and Back for a couple of
seconds.
It shows the last three messages received indicating the source of the message.

123
 OXI SPLIT

The OXI Split expands your OXI One with 3 independent MIDI ports, giving you 48 configurable
channels (16 per lane). This allows you to connect more instruments and switch between them
effortlessly.

It also solves the issue of MIDI bandwidth limitations by offering 3 buffered lanes, ensuring fast and
reliable data transmission to all your devices.

To use your OXI Split, you must first activate it.Navigate to the MIDI Settings in the Configuration
Menu, and enable "OXI Split selection" ." A blue LED below the IN jack will light up to indicate that
the Split is powered by the OXI One.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: If you remove the Split device and leave Config Option OXI Split Selection On, standard MIDI
will not work. Turn it off before using a single MIDI cable.
–––––––––––––––––––––

With the OXI Split enabled and connected, you can utilize the extra ports B and C on your OXI One.
The blue LED will blink to signal when data is being received by the Split.

MIDI Channels from 1A to 16A will be outputted from the PORT 1/A of the OXI Split.
MIDI Channels from 1B to 16B will be outputted from the PORT 2/B of the OXI Split.
MIDI Channels from 1C to 16C will be outputted from the PORT 3/C of the OXI Split.

This way you have a total of 48 MIDI channels at your disposal.

All the MIDI information received by the OXI One (from any of the MIDI sources: USB In, TRS In or
BLE In) will be sent through the THRU port of the OXI Split if the Thru Setting of that MIDI source
(USB, TRS or BLE) is active in settings.

The Split MIDI outputs are 3.3V (unlike OXI One port which is 5V). The TRS ones are Type A like the
main OXI One’s MIDI output port. You can buy it over on this link.

124
 OXI PIPE
OXI Pipe is a breakout module that replicates the 8 CVs and 8 Gates outputs and the Clock and
CV/Reset inputs of the OXI One. It doesn’t add any extra signal to the OXI One.

Both Pipe and One’s outputs can be used simultaneously (like a passive Mult), but inputs should
not be used at the same time on the One itself and the Pipe.

A HDMI cable is included for free with each Pipe. If you need a cable with different characteristics
(length, connector angle, etc.) you need to purchase a HDMI cable that is 2.0 or higher specification.

Note: Some generic HDMI 2.0 Cables are not always wired correctly even if they state 2.0 Specs.
These 2 cables are proved to work flawlessly with the OXI Pipe:

UGreen HDMI 2.0 Cable Link

DeleyCon HDMI 2.0 Cable LInk

You can buy it over on this link.

125
 MIDI BLUETOOTH
OXI One incorporates MIDI over Bluetooth (BLE) and it is a dual role device. There are two ways of
using it.

Note: For optimal performance with iOS, Mac or Windows devices, we strongly recommend using
any kind of dongle like the WIDI Master, WIDI Jack or WIDI UHost (for USB MIDI devices like iPads).
The BLE MIDI performance in Android is slightly better.

Using a WIDI UHOST will drastically improve the bluetooth performance. Surprisingly the BLE
performance on iOS is not enough for tight timing sequencing.

CENTRAL ROLE
OXI One can act as a hub for other MIDI Bluetooth peripherals like:
- Piano keyboards (ROLI Seaboard, CME Xkey Air, etc.)
- BLE dongles (CME WIDI BUD, DORE MIDI cable, etc.)
- BLE MIDI adaptors (WIDI Jack, WIDI Master, etc.)
- Controllers (AKAI LPD8, Korg nanoKEY, etc.)
- Others like the OP-Z

OXI One will automatically connect (“pair”) to one peripheral device if it is on and advertising (which
means it’s looking for some central device to pair with them).
Only one connection at a time is currently supported.

126
PERIPHERAL ROLE
On the other hand, OXI One can be connected to other central devices like iOS or Android devices,
computers (Mac and Win natively support MIDI Bluetooth in their recent versions) and other Central
devices like CME WIDI Master.
The process of pairing the OXI One is different depending on the other device.

MAC OS X

You should open the native application Audio MIDI Setup and open the Bluetooth settings on the
MIDI Studio window:

Press the Bluetooth icon and press “connect” on the Bluetooth Configuration Window and that’s it.
Your OXI One will be shown in your audio-MIDI apps as a MIDI device like OXI ONE BLE.

WINDOWS (Windows 8.1 or above)

First you must connect Windows with the Bluetooth MIDI device.
Press the Bluetooth icon in the task tray, and choose “Show Bluetooth Devices”.
In the Bluetooth device management screen, choose a device indicated as “Ready to pair” and
press “Pair.”
When the indication shows “Connected,” pairing is completed.
Last step is to download the MIDIberry app which makes the Bluetooth MIDI ports available for
other apps.

Start your MIDI application, and select the MIDI IN port and MIDI OUT port as necessary.

iOS

127
The connection has to be established from MIDI and Bluetooth settings of the app itself.

Let’s use the free iOS app Synth One for this example.
Go to the Bluetooth settings by pressing on the Bluetooth icon. (Sometimes this menu is found
inside other menus, like the MIDI settings menu).

Select OXI ONE BLE and give it a few seconds to establish the connection. It will be ready to use!

ANDROID

The process is equivalent to the one described for iOS.

You can try with a free app like FluidSynth MIDI for Android. Once in the app, press in the menu
(dots icon), open MIDI Bluetooth and select OXI ONE BLE.
OXI ONE BLE will appear as a MIDI device in the MIDI settings of the app (tap MIDI inside
FluidSynth to open this menu).

Notes:
You can turn the Bluetooth ON/OFF from the global settings Conf: “Bluetooth ON/OFF”.
Your selection will be remembered after rebooting so make sure you have it ON if you want to
play via BLE MIDI.

128
 USB MIDI
USB MODES
OXI One’s USB can be configured in the following modes in the system settings USB Mode.

● Device: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Device getting power from the USB.
● Host+Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host providing power to other USB devices.
● Host No Power: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Host without providing power. Required by some
USB adaptors.
● Device Self Powered: OXI One acts as a USB MIDI Device without getting power from the USB
outlet. This avoids possible ground loops caused by the USB supply. Reconnect the USB cable
for this to take effect.

USB MIDI HOST

When the OXI One operates in Host+Power Mode and powers external devices, you may notice a
decrease in the battery level indicator. This drop reflects the additional power consumption required
to support the connected device.

USB SOLUTIONS
OXI One in Device Mode

- Use a USB Isolator with external supply input to avoid supply/ground loop noises.
The isolator requires an external power source, such as a wall charger. Without this, the
power supplied to the OXI One will be insufficient, resulting in a gradual depletion of its
charge.

LINK

Alternatively to avoid grounding noise you can set the OXI One in Device Self Powered mode.
This may not work with some hosts.

OXI ONE in Host Mode

Tested setups:

- Some devices like the Roli Seaboard work with a USB C to C cable. No need for any adaptor.

- A simple USB C to A adaptor is another great solution to use the OXI One as a USB Host
and power supply. The OXI One has to be set in “Host + Power” in this case. Note the power
and battery limitations in this case when connecting “hungry” devices.

Found in Amazon

- USB C Power splitter. Use this kind of adaptor when you want to power the OXI One and
have a USB MIDI device connected at the same time. The OXI One should be set to “Host
No Power”.
The USB C male port should be connected to the OXI One which is the Host, the MIDI
device should be connected to the USB A female plug (it can be a USB C in some splitters
and should be identified with a “data” (instead of power) symbol) and the USB C female
plug is the power input.
Here are some recommendations for this kind of adapter.

 DESIGN NOTES
MODES DIFFERENCES

MONO vs POLY ?
Both are 128 steps long.
Both have 4 modulation lanes.

Mono can only have one active note per step meanwhile Poly can have up to 7 active notes per
step.
Then, why would you use a Mono track? Since a mono track can only have one active note per
step at a time, it is convenient for quick changes on the melody, when for example you have a one-
voice lead or when you are sequencing a mono synth.
For the rest of the situations, a poly track gives you more freedom, and also offers an Arp available
from the Grid which is not available in Mono Mode.
It is possible to transpose in both modes by pressing the sequencer button and any of the pads of
the grid. The poly sequence will be transposed according to the lowest note.

CHORD vs POLY ?
Both are 128 steps long.
Both have 4 modulation lanes.

These two modes work totally differently. Chord mode allows you to enter chords from a predefined
palette with different types and voicings, the grid view will appear to have individual steps placed
while actual notes sent from the OXI One will be chords forming multiple notes.
Meanwhile Poly gives more freedom since you can enter notes as you wish, chord provides instant
inspiration with a set of well organized chords in different scales (only diatonic scales are currently
supported). Poly does not have access to the chord keyboard.
If you started writing a chord progression in Chord mode, and you feel you need further
adjustments, bridge notes or other flourishes that chord doesn’t provide, you can convert the mode
to a Poly mode. There are two ways, copying the chord sequence into a poly sequencer or changing
the mode of the sequencer from Chord to Poly. You cannot convert a Poly mode sequencer into a
Chord sequencer and retain your current note grid.

MULTITRACK ?
128 steps.
8 tracks
1 modulation lane per track

Multitrack mode can handle 8 melodic or drum/sample tracks.

You can copy one track that you made in a mono sequencer to one of the tracks of a multitrack
sequencer. Multitrack does not copy back to Mono Sequencers, it is a storage place for your Mono
sequences
You can also access the Piano roll view of your selected track by pressing the OCT encoder.

Multitrack is not only for drums! You can set notes per step and other parameters similar to mono
mode, furthermore there is a transposition setting per track, along with independent length, time
division, and MIDI channel. Although, there is only one modulation lane per track (8 in total) and the

132
glide control affects all the steps or the track, if you use Multitrack with all tracks set to the same
MIDI channel, you will have 8 Modulation lanes available to send along with 8 note polyphony.

133
 MONOME GRID
Keep the SHIFT button pressed when powering on your OXI One to enable the operation as a 128
GRID device. To go back to normal operation, restart your OXI One by pressing the power button.

 OXI DESKTOP APP
The OXI Desktop APP is available for Windows and MAC OS. Refer to our website to download it.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
The App allows you to update to a newer firmware.

Make sure your OXI One is in USB Device Mode. Check the USB Host section in Config,
otherwise your OXI One won’t be recognized by your computer.

The APP will automatically detect the firmware version of your device and check if there’s a newer
version available on the server. You can press “Yes” to let the update process automatically start
and you can press “What’s new?” to read the release notes with all the new features and
changes.

You may also use the Update from File button to upload a file version of a released or beta
firmware. BLE Update from File is not recommended due to risk of dropped BLE connection
during the firmware update.

PROBLEM DURING UPDATE (BRICKED OXI One)

If the update procedure fails you can do the following:
- Force power off by keeping pressed the power button.
- Turn the OXI One in update mode. To do so, press MUTE and then power On again.
- Repeat the procedure.

145
If the APP is not supported by your OS, you can use alternative ones like Sysex Librarian to send
the update file to the OXI One.

PROJECTS BACKUP
It is also possible to back up your projects on your computer and send them back later to the OXI
One.

STOP THE PLAYBACK IN THE OXI ONE AND AVOID SENDING ANY MIDI DATA TO IT FROM
ANY SOURCE !!

Select the project you want to backup and press GET PROJECT. A new folder will be created in
your computer Desktop called “OXI_Files”.
You can send projects back by first, selecting the destination project in the app, then browsing
the project “.oxipro” in your computer and lastly pressing SEND PROJECT.

Wait until the procedure ends.

146
 CALIBRATION
Every OXI One comes calibrated from the factory. The calibration has been made using high
precision equipment. If for any reason the calibration procedure has to be repeated, please follow
these instructions. Make sure to use a good reference like a 5 digit multimeter or a well tuned VCO
(with V/Oct CV input) along with a Tuner.
To enter calibration mode, press SHIFT + cv gate for more than 2 seconds until OXI One switches
to calibration mode indicated in the screen.

–––––––––––––––––––––
TIP: OXI One’s Cvs have a range from -3V to +5V which represent the
octaves from C-1 to C7 in the V/Oct format. ONE takes the MIDI note 12 as C-
1.

–––––––––––––––––––––

CALIBRATION TABLE:
For each octave the following table indicates the values that ONE should output. This applies to
each of the eighth CV outputs.

NOTE EXPECTED VOLTAGE

C-1 [12] -3V

C0 [24] -2V

C1 [36] -1V

C2 [48] 0V

C3 [60] 1V

C4 [72] 2V

C5 [84] 3V

C6 [96] 4V

C7 [108] 5V

Every point of the table has to be calibrated for each CV.

For example, if pressing C2, OXI shows 0.123V, the CV is uncalibrated in the C2 point by an offset
of +0.123V
- To adjust it down you should press the immediate key below C2 which is B1. The output
voltage would decrease around -0.002V (+2mV).

147
 - To adjust it up, you should press the immediate key above C2 which is C#2. The output
voltage would increase around +0.002V (-2mV).
If your meter does not have many decimal places, you will need to press several times until you
start to see the voltage change.

If you press A#1(instead of B1) or D2 (instead of C#2) the jump is bigger (20mV instead of 2mV) to
speed up the process.

Press it repeatedly until the voltage offset is +-0.003V (+-3mV) off the expected value.

Once you have finished with all the points of the calibration curve, press C8 to save.

_______________________________________________

You have to repeat the process with all the CV outputs.

Every CV listens to a different MIDI channel, CV1 listens to MIDI Channel 1 and CV2, to the MIDI
channel 2 and so on, until CV8 in channel 8.

You can do it with any keyboard connected to the MIDI IN port, but we recommend doing it in your
DAW to better see the octave range.

If you are an Ableton user, you can download this project that will help you along this process.
