Minimum Requirements

Standalone Operation

Standalone operation refers to using ProKeys Sono without a computer . To do this, an optional 9V,
500mA center-positive power supply or USB-type power supply is required . More information on
available power supplies can be found at www .m-audio .com .

Bus-Powered Operation

In bus-powered mode, ProKeys Sono is connected to a PC or Mac with a USB cable and receives
power through the USB connection . When using ProKeys Sono in this mode, your computer system
must meet the following minimum specifications:
Windows XP (SP2)
• Pentium III 1GHz
®
or AMD K7 Athlon 1GHz
(CPU may be higher for laptops)
• 512 MB RAM
• One native USB port
Home and Professional Edition
3
only. Windows Media Center
Edition is not currently supported.
M-Audio suggests you also check the minimum system requirements for any software applications you plan on using with
your new M-Audio hardware, as they may be greater than the above.
➜ IMPORTANT: Connect your headphones or powered speakers to ProKeys Sono.
Sounds created by ProKeys Sono and from software used with it will play through the
main outputs on ProKeys Sono–not the outputs of your computer's built-in soundcard.
A Note About System Updates: Please check the M-Audio driver download page at
http://www.m-audio.com/drivers for the availability of an updated driver before you decide
to install operating system updates. Before new M-Audio device drivers are released, they
are tested for use with the operating system versions that are available at that time. When
updates for an operating system are released by Microsoft or Apple, all M-Audio device
drivers have to be re-tested and possibly updated to ensure proper operation. M-Audio
recommends refraining from installing operating system updates until a driver has been
posted to the M-Audio website for that specific operating system.
