Getting Started
Follow the instructions on the included software download card for installing Ableton Live Lite. Once you have
finished installation, you will need to configure your MIDI software to use the Keystation 49es. 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 49es 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 49es should appear under
the name “Keystation 49es” for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X. Please consult the manual
that came with your software for the proper setup procedure.
Features
Top Panel
Keyboard
Most of the white keys and black keys on the Keystation 49es are labeled with names. When in the Advanced menu,
pressing any of the labeled keys will allow for special operations such as adjusting the MIDI channel, transposing,
and sending program change messages.
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 3 octaves or down 3 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.
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. To learn
more about Keystation 49es's advanced functions, please see the full User Guide, available at m-audio.com.
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.
Modulation Wheel
The modulation wheel is typically used for modulation of the sound you are playing. This type of real-time controller
was originally introduced on electronic keyboard instruments to give the performer options such as adding vibrato,
just like players of acoustic instruments do. The modulation wheel is fully MIDI-assignable.
Advanced Functions Button
The Advanced Functions button is used to access all the advanced functions of the keyboard.
When the Advanced Functions button is pressed, the keyboard goes into “Edit Mode.” In Edit Mode, the keys on the
keyboard are used for selecting functions and entering data.
The LED above the Advanced Functions button indicates whether or not Edit Mode is engaged. In Edit Mode, the
black keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions, while the white keys are used for data entry and
channel selection.
Your keyboard will slip out of Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the Advanced button, CANCEL or
ENTER key is pressed (the LED above the Advanced Functions button will turn off). The keyboard can then be used
to play notes again.
