5 Studio One Artist Quick Start
5.2 Setting Up Studio One
Setting up an external MIDI sound module from the Start page.
3. From the menu on the left, select your MIDI controller from the list of
manufacturers and models. If you do not see your MIDI controller listed,
select New Keyboard. At this point, you can customize the name of
your keyboard by entering the manufacturer and device names.
4. You must 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 choose, select all 16.
5. Studio One allows you to filter out specific control functions. If you would
like Studio One to ignore Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Program Change, or
All CC messages, enable filtering for any or all of these messages.
6. In the Receive From drop-down menu, select the MIDI interface
input from which Studio One Artist will receive MIDI data (that
is, the MIDI port to which your keyboard is connected).
Power User Tip: In the Send To drop-down menu, select the MIDI interface output
from which your Studio One Artist will send MIDI data to your keyboard. If your
keyboard controller doesn't need to receive MIDI data from Studio One, you can
leave this unselected.
7. 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.
8. Click OK.
If you have a sound module that 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 the window and skip to Section 6.3.
MIDI instrument controllers (keyboards, MIDI guitars, etc.) send musical information
in the form of MIDI data to tone modules and virtual instruments, 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.
Make sure you have connected the MIDI In of your external
sound module to the MIDI Out of your MIDI interface.
