Hi All, Very new at MIDI, DAWS. I have a second-hand Oxygen49 MK III which triggers LPX playing and recording. Should I try to use Direct software to connect and map knobs, buttons and faders? m-Audio website won't let me register my second hand gear. Is there a cookbook version somewhere I can read? The manual doesn't quite get me there. Thanks in advance for any help.
