M-Audio, 49-Key Keystation

Description

The M-Audio Keystation 49 II is a simple, powerful MIDI controller designed
for sequencing music and playing virtual instruments on your Mac or PC.It
features 49 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys and a series of controls that
broaden the range of playable notes, expand expressive capabilities, and
enhance your recording workflow. Octave-range buttons; pitch-bend and
modulation wheels; and transport and directional controls make it easy to
play, perform, and record in your music software without using a mouse or
track pad.Keystation 49 II also includes a 1/4” sustain-pedal input that lets
you use an external control pedal, such as M-Audio’s SP2, for genuine piano
sustain.To get you started composing, we bundled the Keystation 49 II with a
premium virtual instrument from SONiVOX. SONiVOX’s Eighty-Eight Ensemble is a
world-class piano instrument that captures a 9-foot CD327 Steinway piano’s
sound. Finally, we included Ableton Live Lite — one of the world’s most
popular performance and production programs.Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes the

controller to its factory default settings, follow the steps suggested
below:Power Off the Keystation.Hold down the buttons ADVANCED, OCT+, and OCT-
simultaneously, until step 4.Power On the Keystation.Release the three
buttons.The Keystation is now set back to the factory default settings.My
sustain pedal is reversed and functioning backwards. What do I do?The sustain
pedal input on the rear of the Keystation series controller accepts any
standard momentary, non-latching footswitch (sold separately). When pressed,
this pedal will sustain the sound you are playing without having to keep your
fingers pressing down the keys.The Polarity of the sustain pedal is determined
by the keyboard upon startup. When the Keystation is powering up, the sustain
pedal is assumed to be in the Up (Off) position. It is important that the
sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the pedal will reverse
its operation, and notes will sustain when the pedal is not pressed.To reverse
the polarity, simply power off the Keystation series controller, ensure that
the pedal is not depressed, and power the unit on.My Keystation is not reading
in my computer. Why not?Most likely this is not due to the actual Keystation
itself and is more likely something to do with the connection, a conflict with
something else in the computer, or software settings. We recommend following
the steps suggested below to determine the cause:Try connecting to a different
USB port.Try connecting with an alternate USB cable.Try connecting to a
different computer to determine if the cause is hardware or computer-
related.If you continue to experience difficulty after walking through the
steps suggested above, you may want to consider contacting M-Audio Technical
