Configuration
Once you have finished installation you will need to configure your MIDI software to use the
Keystation 49 MK3. Please note that when you press a key on the keyboard, you will not hear
any sound. This is because pressing a key causes the keyboard to send out MIDI data. MIDI
data gives instructions on how a sound should play, but in order to actually hear that sound
you need to configure your music software to read the MIDI data being sent from the
Keystation and play the sound back accordingly. This setup will more than likely entail going
into an Options or Device Set-Up menu in your music software application and selecting the
appropriate device. The Keystation 49 MK3 should appear under the name “USB Audio
Device” for Windows 7, Windows 8, or as “Keystation 49 MK3” for other operating systems in
the MIDI devices section of your music software application. Please consult the manual that
came with your software for the proper setup procedure.
Features
Top Panel
1. Keyboard: Most of the white keys and black keys
on the Keystation are labeled with names. When
in the Advanced mode, pressing any of the
labeled keys will allow for special operations such
as adjusting the MIDI channel, transposing, and
sending program change messages.
2. Octave Buttons: If you press the octave “+”
button once, the LED above the octave “-” button
will turn off, indicating the keyboard’s octave is
now shifted up. If you press the octave “+” key
again, you will shift one more octave up, and so
on. It is possible to shift the keyboard up 4
octaves or down 4 octaves from 0 octave shift.
To shift the octave down, press the octave “-”
button and notice that the LED above the octave
“+” turns off. If only the LED above the octave “-” key is lit, the octave is shifted down
and, if only the LED above the octave “+” key is lit, the octave is shifted up. The octave
“+” and octave “-” LEDs will change color when moving up or down more than one
octave.
To return the octave shift to 0, press both the octave “+” and “-” keys together. Both
LEDs will light, indicating that the octave shift has returned to 0.
The Octave “+” and “-” buttons may be assigned to control one of seven possible MIDI
functions. (See Advanced Functions for more information.)
3. Volume Slider: The Volume Slider sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the
notes you are playing. The Volume Slider can also be assigned to different effects such
as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more. (See Advanced Functions for
more information.)
4. Pitch Bend Wheel: As the name indicates, the pitch bend wheel is primarily used to
bend the notes played on the keyboard up or down. This allows you to play phrases not
normally associated with keyboard playing, such as guitar-style riffs. Your sound source
determines how far you can bend the note. The usual setting is two semitones, but it can
be up to two octaves up or down.
