ProKeys Sono 88
Like the previous scenario, ProKeys Sono is used to record to a MIDI track within the computer's
sequencing software while simultaneously routing this MIDI information back to ProKeys Sono .
However, instead of routing the MIDI signal back to the ProKeys Sono internal sound engine (i .e .,
"the "ProKeys Sono Voices" MIDI port), the MIDI signal is routed to the ProKeys Sono MIDI Out
jack (i .e ., to the "ProKeys Sono MIDI Out"
being sent to an external MIDI sound module .
The MIDI sound module receives data from the ProKeys Sono MIDI output jack and generates
audio (sound) that is routed back to the RCA inputs of the keyboard . This output of the sound
module can then be monitored through the headphone outputs of ProKeys Sono or via speakers
connected to the 1/4" outputs (as shown above) .
The order and naming of the MIDI output ports may vary slightly depending on your operating
8
system and sequencing application. If ProKeys Sono is used as a class-compliant device under
Windows XP, its output ports will appear as "USB Audio Device" and "USB Audio Device [2]. "
The ProKeys Sono "MIDI Out Mode" setting must be confi gured correctly for your sequencing application's MIDI output to
9
appear at the MIDI output jack on the back of ProKeys Sono. Please see the section entitled "MIDI Out Mode Key" in the
"ProKeys MIDI Output Settings" chapter to fi nd out more about this setting.
