Start Cakewalk and select New Project > (Basic or Blank project will do.) Set the Oxygen Pro Mini to Cubase mode: a) toggle the DAW/Preset button so it is lighted b) press and hold it until DAW appears in the Pro Mini display c) use the Encoder knob directly below the display to scroll to CUBASE, and then press down (click) the Encoder knob to set the Pro Mini to CUBASE mode. Here are the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini setup steps for Cakewalk by Bandlabs that worked reliably:Ĭonnect the Pro Mini via USB to the PC. But I did achieve a repeatable setup process, throwing out all prior controller and midi device settings in the current version of Cakewalk by Bandlabs, and resetting the Pro Mini between setup iterations. I still notice a few anomalies, and I've only done this on an AMD Ryseries laptop running Win 10, connected via USB. Main change: I did not define an ACT controller, only the "Mackie Control" included with Cakewalk.

Ok, I have the Oxygen Pro Mini controls working acceptably in Cakewalk now, as a result of further testing and changes to my initial setup outlined above. I think my remaining issues may be related to Mackie Control and ACT Control being defined/selected in Preferences. I see to the left of the track controls there is a thin green bar which says that Mackie Control is active when I hover on it, but nowhere does it say that ACT is also active. If I delete the track, I can add a new VST instrument track, arm it using the mouse, and do the same thing, but the new track also cannot be disarmed. Nice, BUT - I can't disarm that track for recording using the mouse or otherwise. I had to use my mouse to arm the VST track, but then I was able to start recording by pressing the Pro Mini's record button, stop recording with the Pro Mini, and all the transport controls on the Pro Mini worked as expected. To do that, I clicked the ACT learn mode button at the top right of the VST window, then right click the knob I wanted to control (a popup appears for that) and I click Learn in the popup, then twist the physical knob on the Pro Mini, and, seeing that the parameter is changing in the VST window, click the ACT learn mode button in the VST again. I was also able to assign a couple of knobs on the Pro Mini to knob controls in the VST.

With the above settings in Preferences, if I load a VST instrument like a piano, the Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard will play the notes, velocity of key strike works, Pitch Bend and Mod wheels work. Under Protocol, select Mackie Control Universal (Cubase Mode) Exit this popup. Click Apply and exit the Preferences window.ħ) Go to Utilities > Mackie Control 1. Click OK.Ħ) While still in MIDI> Control Surfaces, again click the star button this time, in the popup window, select ACT Control Surface and select Oxygen Pro Mini as the Input Port and Output Port for this. In the popup window, click the Controller/Surface dropdown and select Mackie Control, and select MIDIIN3 (Oxygen Pro Mini) from the dropdowns for Input Port and Output Port.

He doesn't explain how to do that for the Oxygen Pro Mini specifically, but he advises that if the controller has Cubase mode, that may be a good starting point. Mike says the hardware needs to be set to Mackie MCU mode. It at least generically explains what needs to be set up in Preferences, the controller hardware, and how to add a control surface definition in Cakewalk. First I watched the Creative Sauce video titled Cakewalk Hardware Control.
