Hardware Setup

First, we want to assign your Hammer 88 Pro keyboard to function properly with FL Studio. Here's how:

1. Connect Hammer 88 Pro to your computer.
   
   
2. Press and hold the DAW button (#5) on your Oxygen Pro keyboard.
   
   
   
   
3. Using the Encoder directly below the OLED screen (#8), scroll to “FL ST” and then press the Encoder to select it.
   
   
4. Press and hold the Shift button, and press the Global button.
   
   
5. Using the Encoder directly below the OLED screen, scroll to PC, and press the Encoder to enter into selecting your OS.
   
   
6. Use the Encoder and select Mac if you are using a macOS or Win if you are using a Windows OS.

Your transport controls, faders, knobs, and DAW shortcuts will now have messages mapped for FL Studio.

To provide the most versatile controller, the Hammer 88 Pro series has 2 modes, Preset and DAW mode. When in DAW mode all of the controls will be used for controlling DAW functions and controls. When in Preset mode all of the controls will be used for controlling Virtual Instrument parameters and controls.
