Hi everyone-I'm a first time poster here, but hopefully I'll use this forum a lot. I'm also brand new to MIDI, having just bought an oxygen 8 keyboard, (which connects via USB) and installed oms and the keystation software that came with it. I can't hear the notes I record in protools, or any other audio software I use it in. It shows input from the keyboard, so I know it's communicating with the computer, but no sound.
OS 9.2.2. Help? |

you will never hear anything in PT Free unless you connect a sound module via midi to your computer or run a soft synth or sampler that will work with PT Free. ProTools doesn't produce sound... it justs records it and midi data and allows you to edit the midi data or audio waveforms. You could create tracks in Reason and then save them as .aiff files to be pulled into ProTools for further editing and such but I wouldn't bother with PT Free and your Oxy8.
In OMS... keystation is the name of the driver your Oxy8 uses and you never see Oxygen 8 per say. The keyboard icon with question mark is just a generic icon and you can actually manually change it and the name if you wanted but its not really needed. As long as you get the female voice saying midi received then you are in business. Now it seems you need to look into purchasing a soft synth such as the Reason app or another to really get the most of the Oxy8.
