PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual page 146

Up to four Groups can be created, to allow for mirroring of channels across multiple surfaces.
This is helpful if you have more than one location in the studio where you wish to use control
surfaces (e.g., an A room and B room or a control room and live room).
Only supported and predefined Control Surfaces will appear in the Placement menu. User-
defined devices will not appear in this menu.
4.4.5 Use Your Computer Keyboard as a MIDI Keyboard
You can use your regular QWERTY computer keyboard as a MIDI Keyboard to play virtual
instruments and record musical data in Studio One. To do this, add a new device in the
Options/External Devices/Add Device menu, choosing the QWERTY Keyboard device from the
PreSonus device folder.
With the device added, to use your keyboard as a MIDI Keyboard, open the interface for the
QWERTY Keyboard device by double-clicking on it in the External panel of the Console. Any
record-enabled Instrument Track will then receive input from the QWERTY Keyboard, as
shown in the QWERTY Keyboard device interface. Your keyboard will only transmit data to
Instrument Tracks while the QWERTY Keyboard device interface is open.
4.4.6 Using the PreSonus FaderPort
If you have a PreSonus FaderPort connected to a computer running Mac OS X or Microsoft
Windows Vista or 7, Studio One will automatically recognize it and configure it for use. Just
open a Song or Project to use the FaderPort immediately.
If you are using Windows XP, follow the Set Up Control Surfaces instructions to set up your
FaderPort, which can be selected from the list of predefined devices in the External
Devices/Add Device menu.
4.4.7 Reconnect Devices
In most applications, when MIDI devices become disconnected while the application is
running, you usually have to restart the application, and the software may crash. In contrast, if
an external MIDI device becomes disconnected while Studio One is running with a Song or
Project open, the device can be reconnected without restarting Studio One.
