1 Installation and setup

iRig Keys I/O can be USB bus powered, powered by internal AA batteries or external PSU (not included).

iOS: when connected to an iOS Device either esternal PSU or batteries are needed. The external PSU (not included) will charge the iOS Device’s battery. When both batteries and PSU are connected, all the power will be supplied by the PSU.

USB: typically, when connected to an USB host (MAC, Windows or Android), all the needed power is provided by the host. If the connected host is not capable to provide the required power either batteries or PSU may be needed.

IMPORTANT: if the power switch is set to and batteries are present, the keyboard will be powered by the batteries even when connected to a USB host that can provide enough power.

4 x AA

1.1 iOS Devices

1.Connect the Mini-DIN to Lightning cable to the iRig Keys I/O port and to the iOS device port.

2.Move the back side switch to the battery position (both if you are using batteries or the external PSU).

6.Connect a mixer, an amplifier or a PA system to the stereo line outputs. It is possible to control the output volume with the DATA/VOLUME knob on the top panel (please refer to the instruction on this manual). These are floating balanced output. This kind of output approximately simulates a floating transformer winding;

if both hot and cold outputs are driving signal lines, then the outputs are balanced, as if a centretapped output transformer were being used. This system has the advantage that it can give the same level into either a balanced or unbalanced input without rewiring connectors. These kind of outputs are also perfect to route the onstage signal to a mixer without the need of a DI box, ensuring a loud and pristine signal.

2 MIDI controller section

2.1 Keyboard

iRig Keys IO 25 by default plays notes between C2 and C4. iRig Keys IO 49 by default plays notes between C1 and C5.

If you need to play notes lower or higher than this range, you can shift the whole keyboard in octaves using the OCT up and down buttons.

2.2 Drumpads

iRig Keys I/O 25 has 8 drum pads, in 2x4 disposition. iRig Keys I/O 49 has 8 drum pads, in 1x8 disposition.

All the 8 pads on iRig Keys I/O can send MIDI Note ON and OFF, MIDI CH and MIDI CC messages. On each pad it’s possible to program what kind of message will be sent (Note, CC or MIDI CH). Each pad is illuminated by a RGB LED and the illumination gives you feedback on the pad status.

2.3 Touch sensitive controls

2.3.1 iRig Keys I/O 49

PITCH BEND

Slide this touch sensitive sensor up or down to send Pitch Bend messages. When you don’t touch the sensor, it return to a central rest position. Moving the finger up will increase the pitch; moving it down will decrease the pitch.

Note that the amount of pitch change depends on how the receiving virtual instrument is set. This control can be edited to send any other CC message (see dedicated chapter on this manual).

MODULATION WHEEL

Slide this touch sensitive sensor to send Modulation Wheel messages (MIDI CC#01). The lowest position

English

sends a value of 0; the highest position sends a value of 127. Most instruments use this message to control the amount of vibrato or tremolo in the sound, but note that this depends solely on how the receiving instrument itself is programmed and not on the iRig Keys I/O settings. This control can be edited to send any other CC message (see dedicated chapter on this chapter).

OCTAVE SHIFT

iRig Keys I/O 49 by default plays notes between C1 and C5.

If you need to play notes lower or higher than this range, you can shift the whole keyboard in octaves using the OCT up and down buttons.

You can shift a maximum of 4 octaves up or 4 octaves down. The OCT buttons LEDs will flash each time you press them. The number of times they flash corresponds to the number of octaves up or down the keyboard is shifted.

The displays will inform you about the octave shift indicating a number relative to the octaves that has been shifted. For example going from 0 to +1 the display will show “ 1” and will remain visible until another action on the keyboard is performed. Negative shifts will be shown as “ -1”.

PROGRAM CHANGES

Sound modules like virtual instrument apps or plug-ins can switch sounds when they receive the Program Change MIDI message. iRig Keys I/O sends Program Changes by pressing the PROG up or down buttons.

Starting with the currently selected program, iRig Keys I/O will send the next higher program numbers when you press PROG UP and lower program numbers when you press PROG DOWN. The 7-segment displays will inform you about the number relative to the PC number that has been selected. To set the current program see the dedicated chapter on this manual.

TRANSPORT BUTTONS and ALT BUTTON

These touch-sensitive buttons serves as transport controls, from left to right: Stop/Return-to-Start/FFW (when ALT button is active), Play and REC. The far right button, labeled as ALT, serves to enable/disable the alternative

English

functions of buttons and knobs.

When the ALT button is active thetransport buttons above will turn in (from left to right): Fast forward (FFW), EDIT, PRESET.

EDIT Mode and PRESET Mode functionality will be described later on this manual.

IMPORTANT: configure the transport in the Preset menu so it communicates properly with your software.

2.3.2 iRig Keys I/O 25

MODULATION WHEEL/ PITCH BEND

As primary function this slider act as a Pitch Bend control. By pressing the ALT button, it will switch to Modulation Whell control.

The operational mode can be edited from hold-mode to return-to-zero mode (see dedicated chapter on this manual). This control can be edited to send any other CC message (see dedicated chapter on this chapter).

PROGRAM CHANGES/OCTAVE SHIFT

As primary function this cotrol act as Octave control. By pressing the ALT button, it will switch to PROG change control.

The operational mode can be edited from hold-mode to return-to-zero mode (see dedicated chapter on this chapter). This control can be edited to send any other CC message (see dedicated chapter on this chapter).

2.4 Knobs

The DATA knob act as browsing control when used in specific software or can be used to send a generic CC number programmable by the user. It acts also to control the audio output volume when the ALT function is active. Refer to the dedicated section on this manual for complete editing instructions.

The Knobs 1 to 8 can be assigned to any Control change number. When the ALT function is active the knobs from 5 to 8 are activeted. Refer to the dedicated section on this manual for complete editing instructions. These knobs are also touch sensitive: this means that you’ll be able to see the current value of the CC assigned to each knob by simply touching it. The touch feature allows you, also, to send a specific CC# (momentary and freely assignable, as described later in this manual) when the knob is touched: it is also possible to disable these functions as described later in this manual.

The knobs can have different behaviour (Relative or Absolute):

When working in Absolute (ABS) mode the knob will send values from 0 to 127 on the selected CC (+1 increments per clockwise encoder steps and -1 decrements per counter-clockwise encoder steps).

Once values 0 or 127 are reached they will be continued to be sent if the knob is rotated in the same direction.

The starting value from which to send +1 or -1 values will always be the last one sent by the knob the last time it was moved.

When working in Relative (REL) mode the knob will send custom values to the selected CC. This will allow the host application to browse long lists of elements easily.

English

3 Presets

iRig Keys I/O comes with 4 factory presets (F01...F04) and 99 user presets (U01...U99) freely assignable. The keyaboard can be configurated per personal use: it is possible to configure knobs, pads, touch sliders and external pedal and all these configurations can be stored, recalled (via RCL or fast-recall) as user presets; the factory presets can be only recalled.

To enter to the Presets menu, press the ALT button and then the PRESET button:

The display will shows RCL (recall preset) and all the drum pads corresponding to non empty user presets from U01 to U08 will light on (this will allows you for a rapid recall of the preset).

As said, the display will shows RCL and by rotating the DATA knob it will cycle between STR (store user preset) and DEL (delete user presets). The press on the DATA knob will select the action.

5.2.2.2 Set different velocity (touch) response to the keyboard

The keyboard on iRig Kyes I/O is velocity sensitive. Usually this means that the harder you hit the keys, the louder the sound that is produced. However this ultimately depends on how the instrument you’re controlling is programmed and your playing style.

In order to match the style of individual users, iRig Keys I/O offers six different velocity response settings:

1.VEL SENS, LIGHT. Use this setting if you prefer a light touch on the keys. This is especially useful when you need to play fast passages or program drum patterns.

2.VEL SENS, NORMAL. This setting is the default setting and works well in most cases.

3.VEL SENS, HEAVY. Use this setting if you prefer a heavy touch on the keys.

4.FIXED, 64. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 64 without any touch response.

5.FIXED, 100. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 100 without any touch response.

6.FIXED, 127. This setting will always send a fixed MIDI velocity value of 127 without any touch response. To set the velocity response:

• Enter Edit Mode by pressing the ALT and EDIT buttons;
