Quick Start - Samson CARBON 61 Owner's Manual

Carbon 61 · USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller

Quick Start

1. Connect the Carbon 61 to your computer or iPad using the supplied USB cable. The unit
will receive power and transmit MIDI data via the USB connection. Slide the POWER
switch to the left to turn on the keyboard.
Note: To connect directly to an iPad, you will need to use the Apple iPad Camera Con-
nection Kit (not included).
2. Launch your DAW or virtual instrument software, and set the Carbon 61 as the MIDI
Input device.
3. To use the Carbon 61 with an external MIDI device (such as a sound module), connect a
5-pin MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT on the rear of the Carbon 61, and to the MIDI IN of the
external device.
Connecting an iPad
The Carbon 61 features an area designed to accommodate an Apple iPad.
To securely fit your iPad, we have included two rubber shoe adaptors. The
adaptors are stored in the bottom of the Carbon 61.
Insert the rubber shoes into the left and right corners of the iPad holder (as shown in the
above illustration). Then, slide your iPad into the rubber shoes. Plug the Apple iPad Camera
Connection Kit adaptor or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to the iPad, and connect the
iPad to the keyboard via the included USB cable.
