4. If this is the only keyboard that you will use to control
your external synthesizers and virtual instruments,
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.
Click OK.
If you have a sound module you'd like to connect, leave the External
Devices window open, and proceed to the next part of this section.
If not, you can close this window and skip to Section 7.4.4.
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 MIDI instrument, such as 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 configure your sound module.
1. Connect the MIDI In of your external sound module
to the MIDI Out of your MIDI interface.
In the External Devices window, click the Add button.
2. The Add Device window will launch.
From the menu on the left, select "New Instrument. " At
this point, you can customize the name of your sound
module 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.
3. In the Send To drop-down menu, select the MIDI-
interface output from which Studio One Artist
will send MIDI data to your sound module.
