Chapter 2: Connecting Your Keyboard

Chapter 3: Getting Started

This chapter provides an overview of Keystation Mini 32 features which are covered in greater depth in Chapter 4, “Edit Mode.”

Once you have finished the installation, you will need to configure your music software for use with your Keystation keyboard. Because Keystation Mini 32 does not contain on board sound presets you will not hear any sound coming directly from the keyboard. However, pressing a key causes the keyboard to transmit MIDI data, that gives instructions on how an instrument sound should play. In order to hear that sound, you need to configure your music software to read the MIDI data it receives from your Keystation, and play the sound accordingly. This setup entails going into an Options or Device Set-Up menu in your music software and selecting the appropriate device.

For further information about configuring your software to receive MIDI data from you Keystation Mini 32, and using soft- ware instruments with the application, refer to the documentation provided with that product.

In Windows XP SP3, Keystation Mini 32 will appear in your MIDI software under the name “USB Audio Device”. Windows Vista, 7 and Mac OS X will recognize the device as Keystation Mini 32.

Key Names

The white keys on the keyboard correspond to whole notes found in the musical scale of C Major. These notes are from C on the left to G on the right. Each octave is defined with a letter from the lowest key starting with C on the left to its highest key C on the right.

Keystation Mini 32 keybed has 2 1/2 playable octaves. The range of the keyboard is approximately in the middle of an 88 note keyboard. Using the Oct/Data “+” or “-” buttons, you can access the full 88 keyboard range of a large piano keyboard.

Although the black keys are not labeled, they also have names (such as “F#” or “Eb”). If the name of a black key contains a “#” sign, it is referring to the black key to the right of the white key that shares the same letter name. For example, “F#” refers to the black key above F. If the name of a black key contains a “b” sign, it is referring to the black key to the left of the white key that shares the same letter name. For example, “Eb” refers to the black key below E. The exception to this is the black key between C and D which is called either C# or Db.

Chapter 3: Getting Started

Octave/Data Buttons (Oct/Data)

The assignable Octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or down in one octave increments (12 semitones at a time). This extends the range of the keyboard up to 4 Octaves in either direction, which lets you play notes that lie outside of the 32 keys.

In their default state, such as when you first switch on your Keystation keyboard, the buttons are backlit in red. However when you press either of them the color of that button turns green indicating that the octave change is active.

If you press the octave “+” button once, the button will turn green indicating the keyboard’s octave is now shifted up. If you press the octave “+” key again, you will shift one more octave up, and so on.

To shift the octave down, press the octave “-” button and notice that the button turns green. If only the octave “-” key is lit in green, the octave is shifted down and, if only the octave “+” key is lit in green, the octave is shifted up.

To return the octave shift to 0, press both the octave “+” and “-“keys together. Both LEDs will return to their normal red color at half brightness, indicating that the octave shift has returned to 0.

The Oct/Data buttons will default to Octave shift when the keyboard is powered on. However, if the Octave buttons have been assigned to a different function as described in “Reassigning the Octave/Data Buttons” on page 9, the new assignment is retained when the keyboard is switch off. The Octave buttons will only default to the factory assignment, after a full reset (see “Full Reset” on page 24), or when reassigned in Edit mode (see Chapter 4, “Edit Mode”).

Pitch Bend Buttons

As the name indicates, the assignable pitch bend buttons are primarily used to bend the notes played on the keyboard up or down. Pressing and releasing these buttons while playing lets you play phrases not normally associated with keyboards, such as guitar-style phrases.

Your sound source determines if and how far you can bend the note. The usual setting is two semitones, however you should refer to the documentation provided with your sound source for information about how to change the Pitch Bend range.

Modulation Button

The modulation button takes the place of a wheel that is typically used for modulation of the sound you are playing. The depression of the button mimics the rotation of a wheel. This type of real-time controller was originally introduced on electronic keyboard instruments to give the performer options such as adding vibrato, just like players of acoustic instruments do.

Just like the pitch bend buttons, the modulation button is fully MIDI assignable, as described in Chapter 4, “Edit Mode”. The default Continuous Controller number (MIDI CC) for Modulation is 1.

Keystation Mini 32 User Guide

Chapter 3: Getting Started

Volume Knob

The Volume Knob sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the notes you are playing.

The Volume Knob which is assigned the default Continuous Controller number (MIDI CC) of 7, and it can also be assigned to different parameters, such as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more. A list of available MIDI CC numbers can be found in Appendix D, “Standard MIDI CC Numbers” on page 30.

Refer to you MIDI hardware or software documentation to confirm that it is able to receive MIDI Volume massages.

Sustain Button

The Sustain button can be use for sustaining the sound that you are playing, without having to keep your hands on the keyboard (just like the sustain pedal on a piano). Pressing the Sustain button engages Sustain; pressing it again disengages Sustain. While the keyboard is in Edit Mode, the Sustain button can be set to either Toggle mode, or Gate mode in which it works as a momentary switch.

Refer to “Sustain Mode” on page 21 for more information about Toggle and Gate mode.

Edit Button

The Edit button is used to access the advanced Keystation Mini 32 functions located on the keybed.

Pressing the Edit button switches your keyboard into “Edit Mode.” The Edit button turns blue, and you can use the keys to select various advanced functions and enter data.

Depending on the function, your keyboard will exit Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the CANCEL or ENTER keys are pressed. At this point, the Edit button light will turn off, and the keyboard can be used for playing notes again.

Refer to Chapter 4, “Edit Mode” for more information about using the keys in Edit mode.

Chapter 3: Getting Started

Chapter 4: Edit Mode

This chapter explains how to use Edit Mode which lets you perform tasks such as assigning the buttons (Octave/Data, Pitch Bend and Modulation) or Volume knob to other functions within your music software.

Octave/Data Buttons

By default the Octave/Data “+” and “-” buttons are used for shifting the Keystation Mini 32 keybed up or down one octave at a time. Whenever you power up the keyboard, the octave setting will be at the default value of “0,” and the buttons will be red in color at half-brightness.

When the “+” button is used for raising the octave its it will either illuminate or flash at full-brightness based on the octave chosen, and the “-” remains at half-brightness. Pressing the “-” button has the opposite affect, such that it will illuminate or flash at full-brightness based on the octave chosen, while the “+” button remains at half-brightness. The following table lists the colors used to identify each octave:

OFF

GREEN

ORANGE

In addition to setting an octave shift, the Octave/Data “+” and “-” buttons can also be assigned to control any one of the six additional MIDI functions described in this section.

In the diagram below, you will see that the first 7 black keys are labeled “DATA = ________.” These keys are used when selecting a newly assigned function for the Octave/Data buttons. When assigned to these functions, both buttons will remain lit, regardless of the current setting of that function.

Refer to Appendix A, “Edit Mode Functions” on page 27, for a full-page illustration showing all Keysta- tion Mini 32 advanced functions. The page can be printed and used as a quick visual reference while using your keyboard in Edit mode.

The six additional function that you can assigned the Octave/Data button to are:

Transpose

In some cases it may be useful to raise or lower the pitch by a number of semitones (half-steps) as opposed to an entire octave. For example, if you are playing a song with a singer that is having difficulty singing the top notes, you may want to reduce the pitch by one or two semitones. This is achieved using the Transpose function. When assigned to this parameter, the keyboard can be transposed a maximum of two octave in either direction.

Chapter 4: Edit Mode

To assign the Octave “+” and “-” buttons to the Transpose function:

1Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.

2Press the “DATA = TRANSPOSE” key, (D#, 2nd black key from the left).

The keyboard exits Edit Mode as soon as the “DATA = TRANSPOSE” key is pressed, and the Edit light will return to half brightness.

3Press the “+” key and you will hear the pitch of the note you get higher. Press the “-” key and you will hear the pitch get lower.

4Press both “+” and “-” together to cancel Transpose and return Transpose to zero.

The DATA=TRANSPOSE assignment is retained when the keyboard is turned off.

Program Change

Program Changes are used to change the instrument or voice you are using. For example, you could use this function to change the instrument to a bass sound. To do this, you need to send a program change message of 32, which selects an acoustic bass sound from the General MIDI Instruments list in Appendix B, “General MIDI instruments” on page 28.

You can send a program change by:

Sending and Incremental or Decremental program change using the Octave/Data buttons in conjunction with the “Data=Program” key, which lets you step through each program number in either direction. If your MIDI hardware or software can receive MIDI Program changes, the buttons will increment or decrement between 0 and 127

or –

Entering the program number using the numerical keys (0 - 9) in conjunction with the “PROGRAM” key on your Keystation Mini 32.

Both methods are explained below:

To send Incremental or Decremental Program Change messages:

1Press the Edit button to engage Edit Mode. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.

2Press the “Data=Program” key, which is the black key above F (F#, 3rd black key from the left).

3The Edit Mode button will return to half brightness as soon as the “Data=Program” key has been pressed.

4Press the Octave/Data “+” or “-” button to step upwards or downwards through the sounds while continuing to play notes, until you find the instrument you want to use.
