First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 17 : Basic MIDI connections

video upload by OXI Instruments

"Learn the fundamentals of MIDI connectivity with the OXI ONE sequencer! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we cover how to connect and control multiple instruments — from setting MIDI channels on a Novation Peak, to daisy-chaining gear with MIDI THRU (Vermona Perfourmer), to syncing a drum machine like the Tonverk.

You'll learn:
- How MIDI channels work (16 per port, up to 96 with an OXI Split)
- How to wire up a basic MIDI chain
- The difference between full sequencing and simple sync (start/stop + tempo)
- When to use an OXI Split instead of long MIDI chains
Whether you're just starting out with hardware sequencing or building a bigger studio setup, this video will help you get your gear talking to each other."

First Steps with OXI One series

"Saga is a new sequencing mode introduced in the Nigrán 2.0 firmware update.
Inspired by stage sequencing, Saga breaks away from the traditional step grid and lets you compose using stages with independent durations, notes, and performance parameters. From evolving melodies and unusual phrasing to chord progressions and polyrhythmic interactions, Saga opens up a completely new approach to creating music.
In this video, we'll explore the Saga workflow, stage durations, repetition and accumulator engines, chord sequencing, fractional timing, and creative techniques to help you generate unique musical ideas.

06:59 Velocity, gate groove and randomization

First Steps with OXI One series

"Domino is a new trigger-layered sequencer mode designed to break away from traditional step sequencing workflows. Instead of tying rhythm and pitch together in a fixed pattern, Domino separates trigger information from melodic content, allowing both layers to evolve independently while remaining perfectly synchronized.
This simple but powerful concept opens the door to endlessly shifting phrasing, evolving grooves, and unexpected melodic variations. Start with a single musical idea, then explore entirely different interpretations by changing how notes are triggered over time. A static melody can suddenly become dynamic, human, hypnotic, or completely unpredictable — all without rewriting the original sequence.
Because trigger and note layers interact independently, Domino encourages experimentation and rewards happy accidents. It’s a workflow designed for musicians who want movement and variation without sacrificing musical coherence.

Domino is featured in the new Nigrán 2.0 firmware update, available now through the OXI App."

OXI One MK2 Update: New Sequencers Domino and Saga at Superbooth 2026

video upload by Insect O.

"At Superbooth I had to stop at the Oxi Instruments booth to say hello to Manu and his team and to check out the latest updates for the Oxi One sequencer. I got a closer look at the new sequencer modes Domino and Saga. The decoupling of trigger events from note events is a great idea.

The Oxi One has become the central sequencing hub in my studio. It allows me to combine CV and gate sequencing for modular synths with MIDI gear like the Prophet 6, Jomox Alphabase and the Access Virus A. A great surprise was discovering that someone from the Oxi community created a custom MIDI CC mapping for my very first synth — the Acces Virus A — which I bought more than 25 years ago."

First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 11 Modulation lanes

video upload by OXI Instruments

First Steps with OXI One series

"Learn how to bring your sequences to life with modulation on the OXI One MKII.
In this video, we cover the fundamentals of modulation and how to use modulation lanes to create movement, variation, and expression in your patterns. From assigning MIDI CC destinations to shaping evolving sequences with independent lengths, divisions, and offsets—this is your starting point to unlock a more dynamic workflow.
Using the OXI Coral as an example, you’ll see how powerful modulation can be when combined with proper instrument definitions, and how quickly you can turn a simple loop into something rich and evolving.
We also explore key features like:
– Drawing and editing modulation lanes
– Setting min/max ranges
– Using randomization and smoothing
– Decoupling modulation from the main sequence
– Live recording modulation in real time

This is the first step into a deeper modulation system—future videos will cover LFOs, internal destinations, and advanced routing."
