Problem 6: My synthesizer always recalls the sound next to the program number that I have sent to it from KeyStudio.
For example, if I send a program change with the number 40 (Violin), my software loads sound number 41 (Viola).
Solution 6: Some General MIDI modules count their sound patches from 1 – 128 instead of 0-127 Both methods are
common As a result, and depending on the sound module you use, there may be an offset of +/-1 between the sent program
change number and the recalled sound patch
Problem 7: No data is being transmitted out the MIDI Out port.
Solution 7: This is possibly the result of the KeyStudio MIDI Out mode being set to USB This mode can be toggled off and
on See the “Advance MIDI Features in Edit Mode” chapter in this User Guide for more information on this Another remedy for
this is to turn off the keyboard, then power it back up again The keyboard always defaults to MIDI Out Mode set to KYBD, so
this will bring the MIDI Out port in Standalone mode back to a usable state
Problem 8: In Windows, the computer plays no sound through the KeyStudio 49i audio outputs.
Solution 8:
• Install the KeyStudio 49i drivers.
• Open the Control Panel and double-click the System icon (under Performance and Maintenance if you are in
Category view)
• Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
• Click the plus sign (“+”) next to Sound, Video and Game Controllers, and locate the KeyStudio 49i listing. If you see a
question mark or exclamation point next to it, or if you don’t see it listed, you may need to reinstall the driver software
• Make sure your audio software has been set up to use KeyStudio.
• Open your application’s audio settings page and check to see if the KeyStudio 49i’s ASIO, WDM, or Core Audio
drivers have been selected
Problem 9: I am unable to affect the volume or reverb of the built-in piano sound when using KeyStudio in Local Off
mode with a computer-based sequencer or software sound module.
Solution 9: This is normal considering that Local Off mode interrupts the connection between the keybed and controllers,
and the internal sound engine When using KeyStudio 49i with a software sequencer, be sure that the sequencer track that
is transmitting MIDI information to KeyStudio 49i is selected and configured to let incoming MIDI signal pass through In this
scenario, the volume and reverb controls should send MIDI information to your sequencer that will then be transmitted back to
KeyStudio See your software’s documentation for more information on this
