Introduction<br />

1<br />

Congratulations on your purchase of M-<strong>Audio</strong> <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong>: a 49-key full-size, velocity sensitive USB keyboard, digital piano, audio<br />

interface, and software package, designed for easy integration with your PC or Macintosh computer <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> is ideal for a<br />

multitude of music creation applications<br />

<strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> is a USB keyboard controller and standalone digital piano It contains Octave shift buttons, Modulation and Pitch<br />

Bend wheels, and a Piano Volume knob, all of which can be re-assigned to control different MIDI functions <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> is also a<br />

computer audio interface featuring XLR microphone, 1/4” instrument, and RCA inputs, as well as two 1/4” outputs<br />

<strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> functions as a class-compliant device This means your computer will recognize the keyboard without the need<br />

to install additional drivers This gives immediate access to all audio inputs and outputs as well as to the built-in MIDI interface<br />

However, as you become more familiar with <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong>, you may wish to take advantage of this product’s additional professional<br />

features by installing the <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> drivers<br />

Installing these drivers in Windows improves audio performance by reducing the time it takes for MIDI input (when using software<br />

synthesizers) or audio input signals to appear as audio at your computer’s outputs In Windows, additional benefits from driver<br />

installation include: using your new keyboard with more than one application at the same time (multi-client), sending large SysEx<br />

messages, or using your <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> with Pro Tools M-Powered recording software or the included GM Module software<br />

On a Macintosh computer, installing the M-<strong>Audio</strong> drivers enables you to use your <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> with Pro Tools M-Powered recording<br />

software<br />

Information on driver installation can be found in the “Connecting <strong>KeyStudio</strong> <strong>49i</strong> to a Computer” chapter of this <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
