MIDI Functionality
The Keystation keyboards have been designed to make working with MIDI on your computer
as simple as possible. Nonetheless, you may still experience some difficulties. In many cases,
the keyboard is not at fault; the problem lies with the receiving device. To counter this, there is
a useful MIDI function: Reset All Controllers.
Reset All Controllers
If you find there is an effect on a voice that you do not want, rather than having to isolate and
identify that effect, you can send a "Reset All Controllers" MIDI message by performing the
following:
1.
Press the Advanced button to engage Edit Mode.
2.
Press the black key representing "RESET."
3.
Edit Mode will disengage, eliminating all effects.
Factory Reset
1.
Power off Keystation.
2.
Hold down the buttons "+" and "-" simultaneously, until step 4.
3.
Power on Keystation.
4.
Release the buttons.
The Keyboard is now back to the factory default settings.
MIDI Out
The MIDI Out port is located on the back of the keyboard, and can be used to connect the
keyboard to an external sound module or MIDI keyboard.
By default (when you switch the unit on), all controller data is sent out via the MIDI output as
well as the USB out. If you want the MIDI output to act like a traditional USB-to-MIDI interface,
engage "MIDI Out" mode by carrying out the following:
1.
Press the Advanced button to engage Edit Mode.
2.
Press the black key representing "MIDI OUT."
3.
Edit Mode will disengage.
4.
The keyboard is now able to send data received from the computer via its MIDI OUT
jack to whatever device is connected.
In order to use the MIDI output, select the Keystation USB MIDI Out as the MIDI output device
in your sequencer.
