The KeyStudio 49i Piano Demo
KeyStudio 49i has a built-in piano demo song. To hear this demo:
1. Press the Edit Mode button so that the Edit Mode LED lights.
2. Press the Reverb button.
Demo playback can be stopped by pressing either the Edit Mode
button or the Reverb button.
Using the Audio Inputs
A dynamic microphone can be connected to the XLR input located on the rear
panel*, and an instrument such as a guitar or bass can be connected to the 1/4"
input jack also located on the rear panel.
*IMPORTANT: Be sure the Mic and Inst. Gain knobs are turned down before
connecting equipment to these two input jacks. Failure to do this can result in
a loud pop or feedback which can damage your speakers and hearing.
Each of these two inputs has an independent preamp featuring a dedicated gain
control knob, and signal and clip LEDs. Two analog RCA inputs
are also located on the back panel. Signal from these inputs is
mixed with the Microphone and Instrument input signals and
routed to the 1/4" output jacks.
Advanced Features in Edit Mode
KeyStudio 49i provides many advanced MIDI features and programming options.
Pressing the Edit Mode button puts the keys of the keyboard into Edit mode. This
mode enables you to configure internal features of KeyStudio 49i and transmit
advanced MIDI messages. Consult the User Guide found on the included CD-ROM
for a complete description of the KeyStudio Edit mode.
