KeyRig 25 Controller Keyboard
Quick Installation

Your KeyRig 25 controller is class-compliant and requires no drivers when used

under Windows XP or Mac OS X. To install the keyboard:

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Use the provided USB cable to connect KeyRig 25 to an

available USB port on your computer.

3. Make sure that the power switch on the back of the controller is in

the “on” position.

KeyRig 25 is now ready to be used.

NOTE: Advanced Windows XP users who plan to 1.) use the

keyboard with more than one audio application at the same
time, or 2.) send long SysEx (system exclusive) commands,
must install special multi-client drivers. This process is
described in the Key Rig 25 User Guide located on the
KeyRig 25 CD-ROM.

IMPORTANT: The KeyRig 25 keyboard is “bus-powered” by your computer

through the USB connection. Only use a power adapter if your computer

cannot provide adequate power to the controller or if you are using

KeyRig 25 without a computer.

Installing Key Rig Virtual Instrument

computer fails to launch the installer, manually start it by clicking on Start > My

Computer > KeyRig 25.

4. Follow the driver installer’s on-screen instructions.

and a VST Plug-in Directory. The Key Rig Data Directory is where all Key Rig

application data (approximately 350 MB in size) is installed whereas the VST

folder is where you would like to install Key Rig software’s VST plug-in files. If

you are not sure about these folders, leave the default settings.

6. When the installer has completed the software installation, click “Finish.”

7. M-Audio Key Rig is now installed on your computer. You will need to “Certify”

your copy of the software before you begin using it. Certification is described in

the following section.
