Quick Start

Connecting Your Keyboard
Keystation 49 is powered through a USB connection to a computer. It is recommended that you connect
Keystation 49 to a computer's onboard USB port or to a powered USB hub. The single USB cable not only
powers the keyboard but also sends MIDI data to and from your computer system.
You can also use Keystation 49 with your iPad to control supported music creation apps.
Connecting your Keystation 49 to an iPad requires the iPad Camera Connection Kit, which is available from
