Configuring Midi Devices - PRESONUS StudioLive AR-Series Owner's Manual

4 Studio One Artist Quick Start
4.2 Setting Up Studio One
4.2.2 Configuring MIDI Devices
Setting up an external MIDI keyboard controller from the Start page.
From the External Devices window in Studio One Artist, you can configure
your MIDI keyboard controller, sound modules, and control surfaces. This
section will guide you through setting up your MIDI keyboard controller
and sound modules. Please consult the Reference Manual located within
Studio One for complete setup instructions for other MIDI devices.
If you are using a third-party MIDI interface or USB MIDI-controller
keyboard, you must install any required drivers for these devices before
beginning this section. Please consult the documentation that came
with your MIDI hardware for complete installation instructions.
If you do not have any MIDI devices, please skip to Section 5.4.
A MIDI keyboard controller is a hardware device that is generally used for playing
and controlling other MIDI devices, virtual instruments, and software parameters.
In Studio One Artist, these devices are referred to as Keyboards, and they must be
configured before they are available for use. In some cases, your MIDI keyboard
controller is also used as a tone generator. Studio One Artist views the controller
and tone-generation functions as two different devices; a MIDI keyboard controller
and a sound module. The MIDI controls (keyboard, knobs, faders, etc.) will be
set up as a Keyboard. The sound modules will be set up as an Instrument.
You can set up your external MIDI devices from the Setup area
in the Start page. Before setting up a new Song for recording,
take a moment to configure external devices.
Make sure you have connected the MIDI Out of your external MIDI controller to
a MIDI In on your PreSonus audio interface (if available) or other MIDI interface. If
you are using a USB MIDI controller, connect it to your computer and power it on.
1. Click on the Configure External Devices link in the Setup area on
