1.
DOCK – Connect your iPad* (not included) here. Gently rock the device back and forth over the connector
when attaching or removing it.
2.
KEYBOARD – This 49-note keyboard is velocity-sensitive and, in conjunction with the OCTAVE DOWN/UP
buttons, can control an eight-octave range.
Note: SynthStation49's KEYBOARD is independent of the SynthStation app's "virtual" keyboard. This allows
you to perform across a total of seven octaves at a time – three in the SynthStation app plus four on
SynthStation49's KEYBOARD.
3.
PITCH BEND WHEEL – Transmits MIDI Pitch Bend information to raise or lower the pitch of the KEYBOARD
temporarily.
4.
MOD WHEEL – Transmits continuous controller data (CC #1 or Modulation Depth).
5.
PADS – The pads can be used to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software. The pads are velocity-
sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to play.
6.
TRANSPORT/SELECTION CONTROLS – See the TRANSPORT/SELECTION CONTROLS section below.
