Additional Edit Mode Black Key Functions Include - M-Audio KEYSTUDIO KeyStudio 49i User Manual

Additional Edit mode black key functions include:

MIDI Out Mode Key
The MIDI Out Mode key (G#2) determines what data is sent to the external MIDI Out port Pressing this key in Edit mode will
toggle between two options:
1) MIDI coming from the computer via USB is sent to the external MIDI Out port
2) MIDI from the Keyboard is sent to the USB and external MIDI Out ports
When the keyboard is played with Local mode on (see the following Local Mode Key section) and MIDI Out set to send data
from the keyboard to the MIDI Out port, MIDI data will be transmitted from the keyboard to the external MIDI port and also via
USB to your computer Data coming from the PC will be discarded This is the default setting for KeyStudio
If the MIDI Out switch is set to USB however, the data coming from the host computer via USB will be sent directly to the
MIDI Out In this mode data from the keyboard is not sent to the MIDI Output port
In Edit mode, when this function key is pressed, the function is toggled and Edit mode is cancelled The keyboard returns to
Performance mode and the Edit Mode LED goes out
At any time, pressing the Piano Reset button or turning the keyboard off and back on, will restore the default setting
Local Key
The Local key (A#2) determines the source of the data stream that is routed to the built-in piano sound Pressing this key in
Edit mode will toggle between MIDI data received via USB from a connected computer, and MIDI data created by playing the
keyboard on KeyStudio 49i
The KeyStudio default setting is, that notes played on the KeyStudio 49i keyboard are routed directly to the built-in piano
sound The created MIDI data is simultaneously sent to a connected computer via USB and also to the MIDI Out port This is
the equivalent of Local On mode
When the Local mode key is toggled, the built-in piano sound will not be played by the piano keyboard (However, notes
played on the keyboard will continue to be sent out the MIDI Out port as well as to the computer via USB) This is not quite
the same as a simple Local On/Off switch because switching Local mode off also routes MIDI signals coming from the
computer via USB to the Piano sound
In standalone mode, the Local On/Off key allows a remote MIDI device to be controlled without the KeyStudio playing its
internal piano sound The piano sound cannot be played by MIDI signals entering the keyboard from a computer that is
connected via USB unless the Local Switch is set to Local Off * It is still possible however to have KeyStudio's built-in piano
sound played via MIDI signals received from a connected computer and play along from the keyboard at the same time This
can be done with Local Mode set to off In this configuration, KeyStudio sends MIDI data to a computer sequencer via USB
The computer's sequencer program needs to be configured to pass incoming MIDI signals back to KeyStudio 49i via USB
This is a common setting available in most MIDI sequencer programs and is often called "MIDI Thru" Please consult your
software's user guide for instructions on how to activate this feature
*Note: When controlling KeyStudio 49i with sequencer software via USB MIDI, KeyStudio 49i must be set to Local Off
mode for its internal piano sound to be played by the sequencer.
In Edit mode, when the Local key is pressed, the function is toggled and Edit mode is cancelled The keyboard then returns to
Performance mode and the Edit Mode LED goes out At any time, pressing the Piano Reset button will restore this mode to
Local On Switching the keyboard off and on will also restore this setting back to its default
Local mode is often used to control a software synthesizer without layering the built-in piano sound on top of the software
synthesizer's tone
