KeyStudio 49i User Guide Additional Edit mode black key functions include: MIDI Out Mode Key | 27 The MIDI Out Mode key (G#2) determines what data is sent to the external MIDI Out port Pressing this key in Edit mode will toggle between two options: 1) MIDI coming from the computer via USB is sent to the external MIDI Out port 2) MIDI from the Keyboard is sent to the USB and external MIDI Out ports When the keyboard is played with Local mode on (see the following Local Mode Key section) and MIDI Out set to send data from the keyboard to the MIDI Out port, MIDI data will be transmitted from the keyboard to the external MIDI port and also via USB to your computer Data coming from the PC will be discarded This is the default setting for KeyStudio If the MIDI Out switch is set to USB however, the data coming from the host computer via USB will be sent directly to the MIDI Out In this mode data from the keyboard is not sent to the MIDI Output port In Edit mode, when this function key is pressed, the function is toggled and Edit mode is cancelled The keyboard returns to Performance mode and the Edit Mode LED goes out At any time, pressing the Piano Reset button or turning the keyboard off and back on, will restore the default setting Local Key The Local key (A#2) determines the source of the data stream that is routed to the built-in piano sound Pressing this key in Edit mode will toggle between MIDI data received via USB from a connected computer, and MIDI data created by playing the keyboard on KeyStudio 49i The KeyStudio default setting is, that notes played on the KeyStudio 49i keyboard are routed directly to the built-in piano sound The created MIDI data is simultaneously sent to a connected computer via USB and also to the MIDI Out port This is the equivalent of Local On mode When the Local mode key is toggled, the built-in piano sound will not be played by the piano keyboard (However, notes played on the keyboard will continue to be sent out the MIDI Out port as well as to the computer via USB) This is not quite the same as a simple Local On/Off switch because switching Local mode off also routes MIDI signals coming from the computer via USB to the Piano sound In standalone mode, the Local On/Off key allows a remote MIDI device to be controlled without the KeyStudio playing its internal piano sound The piano sound cannot be played by MIDI signals entering the keyboard from a computer that is connected via USB unless the Local Switch is set to Local Off * It is still possible however to have KeyStudio’s built-in piano sound played via MIDI signals received from a connected computer and play along from the keyboard at the same time This can be done with Local Mode set to off In this configuration, KeyStudio sends MIDI data to a computer sequencer via USB The computer’s sequencer program needs to be configured to pass incoming MIDI signals back to KeyStudio 49i via USB This is a common setting available in most MIDI sequencer programs and is often called “MIDI Thru” Please consult your software’s user guide for instructions on how to activate this feature *Note: When controlling KeyStudio 49i with sequencer software via USB MIDI, KeyStudio 49i must be set to Local Off mode for its internal piano sound to be played by the sequencer. In Edit mode, when the Local key is pressed, the function is toggled and Edit mode is cancelled The keyboard then returns to Performance mode and the Edit Mode LED goes out At any time, pressing the Piano Reset button will restore this mode to Local On Switching the keyboard off and on will also restore this setting back to its default Local mode is often used to control a software synthesizer without layering the built-in piano sound on top of the software synthesizer’s tone
Panic KeyStudio 49i User Guide KeyStudio has been designed to make working with MIDI on your computer as simple as possible However, sometimes things can go wrong There is a useful “Panic” function on KeyStudio 49i to counter this | 28 If one or more of the loaded sound patches doesn’t sound as expected, it may mean that a MIDI CC has applied an undesired effect or other type of sound modulation to that voice If you are unsure of which MIDI controller to adjust to eliminate the effect, you can send a Panic MIDI message to set all controller values to their defaults This feature sends “Reset All Controllers” and “All Notes OFF” messages on all MIDI channels This is very useful if you find there are sustaining notes that you cannot stop, or if you want to remove applied MIDI CC effects without having to figure out which CC is causing the effect to sound To send a Panic MIDI message: 1 Press the Edit Mode button 2 Press the black key above F2 (F# 2), representing “Panic ” 3 Edit mode will exit, and there will no longer be any sustaining notes Wheel Assign Key It is possible to assign different MIDI controller numbers to the Modulation wheel These parameters are called MIDI continuous controllers There are 128 MIDI continuous controllers (0-127, counting from and including zero) plus an additional 4 proprietary M-Audio controller numbers for a total of 132 assignable controls and features KeyStudio accepts controller numbers 0-131 Numbers beyond 127 are a proprietary method M-Audio uses to simplify the transmission of certain, otherwise more complicated multi-part MIDI messages A full list of controller values is given at the back of this manual in Appendix C There are 132 (counting from and including zero to 131) MIDI continuous controllers (MIDI CC’s) For these controller values to have any effect on the sound, the receiving software or device has to be able to read and respond to these MIDI controller messages Some useful MIDI CC’s are: < 01 Modulation < 07 Volume < 10 Pan (balance) < 05 Portamento Time To assign a MIDI controller message to the Modulation wheel: 1 Press the Edit Mode button 2 Press the black key above F3 (F#3), representing “Wheel Assign ” 3 Use the Numerical Data Entry keys G3 – B4 to enter the number of the MIDI controller you want to assign to the Modulation wheel 4 Press the Enter key (C5) 5 Move the Modulation wheel upwards to increase the value of the MIDI message sent If you make an error while entering the numerical data value, you can press the CANCEL key (C1) to exit Edit mode without changing the MIDI CC assigned to the Modulation wheel As an example, let’s assign effect number 10 to the Modulation wheel This means the Modulation wheel will control Pan (or balance): 1 Press the Edit Mode button 2 Press the black key above C3 (C#3), representing “Wheel Assign ” 3 Press A3 to enter “1 ” 4 Press G3 to enter “0” so you have entered “10 ” 5 Press C5 for “ENTER ”
