2.2.3 Configuring Your MIDI Devices

From the External Devices window in Studio One Artist, you can configure your MIDI
keyboard controller, sound modules, and control surfaces. This section will take you through
setting up your MIDI keyboard controller and sound module with your AudioBox USB.
Please consult the Reference Manual located on your Studio One Artist installation DVD for
complete setup instructions for other MIDI devices.
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 two functions of these types of hardware 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 module will be set up
as an Instrument.

From the Setup area in the Start page, you can
also set up your external MIDI devices. Before we
set up a new Song for recording, let's take a
moment to configure external devices. Connect the
MIDI Out of your external MIDI controller to the
MIDI In of your AudioBox USB.
Click on the Configure External Devices link in the Setup area on the
Start page to launch the External Devices window.
Click the Add button.
When the Add Device window launches, select "New Keyboard"
from the menu on the left. At this point, you can customize the name
of your keyboard by entering the manufacturer and device names.
Specify which MIDI channels will be used to communicate with this
keyboard. For most purposes, you should select all MIDI channels. If
you are unsure of which MIDI channels to select, we suggest you
select all 16.
