4 Studio One Artist Quick Start
4.2 Setting Up Studio One
Setting up an External MIDI Keyboard Controller from the Start Page
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
the Start page to launch the External Devices window.
2. Click the Add button. This will launch the Add Device window.
