ESI KeyControl 49, 3960 Series Instruction Booklet (pc Connect)

English

Thank you for choosing KeyControl 49 - a cost effective MIDI keyboard for your home studio.

Connection / Power Supply / Controls

KeyControl 49 gets connected via the included USB cable to your computer. This connection powers the keyboard and is used to transfer
the MIDI data to your computer. In addition, the MIDI data is sent out via the MIDI output port that you can connect to other devices such
as a sound module. Just connect KeyControl 49, launch and configure your favorite audio software and start playing!

KeyControl 49 can also be used standalone when connected to an optional 9V DC power supply (not included). In this case the MIDI data
will only be sent out via the MIDI output port.

KeyControl 49 provides three buttons on the left side (Edit, Down, Up), two wheels (Pitch Bend, Modulation) and 49 full size velocity­sensitive keys that can be used as additional control keys when in edit mode.

Octave Change

The keyboard range can be moved two octaves lower or higher using the Down and Up buttons when the Edit LED is off. The Down
LED blinks when the octave range is moved down twice, it is on when the range is moved down once. The Up LED blinks when the
octave range is moved up twice, it is on when the range is moved up once. Press the Down and Up buttons simultaneously to reset to the
default octave range (then both LEDs are on).
