Setting Up an External MIDI Keyboard Controller from the Start Page
34 34 34
A MIDI keyboard controller is a hardware device that is generally used
for playing and controlling other MIDI devices, virtual instruments, and
software parameters. In Studio One Artist, these devices are referred to
as Keyboards, and they must be configured before they are available for
use. In some cases, your MIDI keyboard controller is also used as a tone
generator. Studio One Artist views the controller and tone-generation
functions as two different devices: a MIDI keyboard controller and a
sound module. The MIDI controls (keyboard, knobs, faders, etc.) will be
set up as a Keyboard. The sound module will be set up as an Instrument.
1. You can set up your external MIDI devices from the
Setup area in the Start page. Before setting up a
new Song for recording, take a moment to
configure external devices.
2. Connect the MIDI Out of your external MIDI
controller to a MIDI In on your AudioBox
22/44VSL or other MIDI interface. If you
are using a USB MIDI controller, connect
it to your computer and power it on.
3. Click on the Configure External Devices
link in the Setup area on the Start page to
launch the External Devices window.
4. Click the Add button.
5. The Add Device window will launch.
6. From the menu on the left, select New
Keyboard. At this point, you can customize
the name of your keyboard by entering
the manufacturer and device names.
7. You must specify which MIDI channels will be used
to communicate with this keyboard. For most
purposes, you should select all MIDI channels. If you
are unsure of which MIDI channels to select, select
all 16.
