Setting Up an External MIDI Keyboard
Controller From the Start Page: (continued):
4 The Add Device window will launch.
From the menu on the left, select "New Keyboard. "
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.
5 In the Receive From drop-down menu, select the
MIDI interface input from which Studio One Artist
will receive MIDI data. In this case, choose "Mobile 2
MIDI. "
In the Send To drop-down menu, select the MIDI
interface output from which Studio One Artist
will send MIDI data to your keyboard (also labeled
"Mobile 2 MIDI"). If your keyboard controller does
not need to receive MIDI data from Studio One (say,
for moving motorized faders and the like), you can
leave this unselected. If your keyboard does need
to receive MIDI date, you must connect a MIDI cable
from the MIDI output of the MIDI breakout cable to
the MIDI input of the keyboard.
6 If this is the only keyboard that you will use to
control the virtual instruments and your external
synthesizers in Studio One Artist, you should check
the box next to Default Instrument Input. This will
automatically assign your keyboard to control all
MIDI devices in Studio One Artist.

Setting Up an External MIDI Sound Module
Controller From the Start Page:
MIDI instrument controllers (keyboards, MIDI
guitars, etc.) send musical information in the form
of MIDI data to tone modules, which respond by
generating sound, as instructed. Tone modules can
be standalone sound devices or can be integrated
into a controller, as with a keyboard synthesizer.
Studio One Artist refers to all tone generators
as Instruments. Once you have set up your MIDI
keyboard controller, take a moment to confi gure
your sound module.
1 Connect the MIDI In of your external sound module
to the MIDI Out of the MIDI-S/PDIF breakout cable
that came with your FireStudio Mobile. Make sure
