About The Manual

This is the Getting Started manual which covers the basic operation of the 3 Evolution
USB keyboard controllers MK-425C, MK-449C and MK-461C. You will find a graphic
illustration of your keyboard on pages 4, 5 and 6. We have numbered the important sec-
tions of this illustration and used the numbering throughout the manual.
In-depth programming and advanced features are covered in the MK-425C/449C/461C
Advanced User Guide, which is provided as electronic documentation on the Evolution
Installer CD-ROM. The format of the documentation is Adobe Acrobat so you will need to
install Acrobat Reader to either print or view the documentation. We have provided this
program on the CD-ROM as well, in case you donít have it already. Throughout the
manual we will refer to the 3 models as MK-425C/449C/461C whenever a feature applies
to all 3 and point out any discrepancies.
Before You Connect Your KeyboardÖ .
You are probably eager to plug in your Evolution keyboard and get started, but itís
sensible to check the installation documentation first.
You can power the keyboard either via USB or an optional external power supply. Use
only one method at a time.
Power & Connection Via USB
1. Check that the on/off button (15) on the back of the unit is set to ìO ffî.
2. Plug in the USB cable provided with the MK-425C/449C/461C to a free USB
port on your computer.
3. Plug in the other end of the USB cable to the USB socket on
the MK-425C/449C/461C.
The single USB cable not only powers the U-Control but also sends MIDI data to and from
your computer system.
Windows XP & Mac OS X
If you are using Windows XP or Mac OS X you can now simply switch the power position
to ìonî. Because the Evolution keyboard is class compliant it will work with out any further

installation.
