Figure D.29 Ozonic 37-Key FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface and Controller.
Ozonic connects to your computer through FireWire and also incorporates both MIDI and
audio interfaces. So, if you already have a laptop or desktop, a pair of powered monitor
speakers, and maybe a microphone or guitar, Ozonic completes your MIDI and audio
recording system. M-Audio also offers a range of accessories including sustain and
expression pedals, an affordable studio microphone, and Ableton Live software.
The MIDI keyboard has pitchbend and modulation wheels at the left and an octave
selector button that you can press to play lower notes or higher notes than the default
range. Above these there are several controls for output level, headphone level, input
gain, and so forth. Directly above the keys, you will see two columns of buttons that
allow you to select the preset, group or zone, with an assignable joystick positioned
between these. A row of 14 MIDI-assignable buttons runs above the rest of the keys.
Above the buttons, there is a small LCD screen, eight assignable knobs, and nine MIDI-
assignable faders. You can use all these controls to give you hands-on control of any
MIDI-controllable hardware devices, mixers, sound modules or effects, or “virtual”
instruments, effects, and other software.
The audio and MIDI interfaces are accessed through the back panel. Ozonic has just one
FireWire socket, which can be a limitation if you want to use it with other FireWire
peripherals. Normally, Ozonic takes its power from your computer through the FireWire
bus, but a low-voltage power input is provided that you can use with any suitable mains
