Quick Start
Connecting Your Keyboard
You can power the keyboard either via a powered USB port or a third-party power supply. The Keystations
are low-power devices and an external power supply should not be necessary. It is recommended that you
connect the Keystation to an onboard USB port or to a powered USB hub. Use a USB cable to power
Keystation when connecting to a computer to trigger software synths.
You can also use Keystation 61 with your iPad to control supported music creation apps.
Connecting your Keystation 61 to an iPad requires the iPad Camera Connection Kit, which is available from
the Apple Store.
