Oxygen 8 Setup

Okay so my Oxygen 8 v2 came today, and the drivers it shipped with don't work with Vista 32-bit SP2. No big deal, I downloaded them off the site, they work. I think.

I can't get any sound out of the keyboard in Enigma, and I have no idea how to make it work in FL to control my VSTs... it doesn't show up in 'external tools,' if that's even what I use.

Now, I've got it working... but I can't figure out how to record. I click 'record' and select to record into Edison, but when waveforms show up I don't get any sound...

Now that I'm looking, I think it happened when I switched to the ASIOv4all driver (which I have obviously installed)... any advice? I'm running this via usb... do I absolutely NEED a midi-out cable to use FL?

EDIT: It definitely happens when I switch to the ASIO driver. When I switched back to the normal driver, I was able to hear what I recorded.

So you're all figured out Sprigg?

I've figured out how to get the basic setup.... haven't gotten how to assign different parameters to the knobs yet, or figured out my sound/ driver issues... but at least its somewhat functional

Oi, I've never been a bumper but I'm really up against it here. I even joined the "idmforum"? I had never heard of it. It's so much like WATMM that I think we would war with one another just out of being too similar and self-hating. I'm coming up with nothing over there either. Naturally, all engines are just shitting out nothing.

lol

well, I've a oxygen 49 and windows 7 (64bits) and is all working as always, but I'm using a beta ASIO driver from M-Audio forum.. anyway you don't really need asio drivers to use midi over usb; ehm I'm not sure but I think that Cubase use DirectX for midi.

oh, and I didn't install anything for oxygen, it was just plug and play

In Ableton Live 8 is very simple, just add some vsti, click on the arrow button on the "vsti box" and then in "config" button and move some parameter, you will see a new slide with the parameter name inside the vsti box, press control+m and click in that slide to select it, then move your oxygen knob.. that is :) oh and don't forget to press control+m again to escape midi cc assign mode!

Thanks, Pera. I figured out the assigning stuff... tutorials exist for a reason haha. I was hoping to be able to use FL Studio, as it's the daw i'm most familiar with/ easiest for me to use... but I'm thinking that perhaps ASIO drivers, which it requires for external controllers (unless there's a workaround?) is incompatible with my laptop's Sigmatel soundcard... or maybe I just need to change some parameter somewhere?

Already been there, man, no dice.

what happened with ASIO4All? The no sound thing?

Yeah. I get no sound from FL when I switch to the ASIO driver from within the program, but I can't find it in my Control Panel to switch from outside FL.

I think that is just how ASIO4All works. It doesn't kick in until you start up a program that uses it. I've had problems with it myself. It used to work (quite well I might add) but then trying it recently it did the same thing as for you: no sound. What version of Windows are you using?

I run Vista, 32-bit I believe.

Do you know what kind of sound card you have? Apparently ASIO4All doesn't actually work for a lot of cards.

I have a Sigmatel something or other. Upon research a few days ago, I discovered that getting it to work with Sigmatels is a bitch... so I may be buying a new soundcard... mostly because I'm too lazy to learn a new DAW at the moment.
