MidAir Quick Start Guide | 1

1 | Quick Installation

Your M-Audio MidAir wireless MIDI system is class compliant. This means that if you are using Windows XP

or Mac OS X, you can simply connect the MidAir receiver to your computer, power up the

computer, MidAir transmitter, and keyboard controller, and you’re ready to go.

No drivers are required.

However, Windows users who intend to use the MidAir wireless MIDI system with more than one application

at the same time should install the special M-Audio drivers for best performance.

2 | Installation Instructions for Windows XP

PLEASE NOTE: Do not connect the MidAir receiver to your computer until the M-Audio driver files have been
installed. The following instructions will indicate when you should connect the receiver to your computer.

1. If you have already connected the MidAir Receiver to your computer, disconnect it before beginning the
installation.

2. We recommend that you download the most recent MidAir drivers by going to the Support > Drivers page at
www.m-audio.com. This ensures that you have the newest drivers available. If you do not have Internet access,
insert the M-Audio MidAir Series CD-ROM into your computer to install the drivers that came with the MidAir.

a. If you are installing drivers from the MidAir

1

Series CD-ROM, the computer will automatically

display the interactive install screen (

) when
the CD-ROM is inserted. If your computer fails
to launch this application, you can manually start
it by clicking on Start > My Computer > MidAir
Series. Next, select your product from the menu
and click “Install.”

b. If you are installing drivers from www.m-audio.

com, simply double-click the file once it has
finished downloading.

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

4. At various points in this installation process, you may be notified that the driver being installed has not passed
Windows Logo Testing. Click “Continue Anyway” to proceed with the installation.

5. Once the installer has completed, click “Finish.”

6. Attach the MidAir receiver to an available USB port.

3 | Linking the MidAir Transmitter and Receiver

Your MidAir transmitter and receiver are linked at the factory and should be ready to go right out of the box. In a
small number of cases, the transmitter and the receiver may not automatically connect upon startup. In this case, the
Wireless Connection Status LED on each unit will not illuminate.

If this happens, simply press the wireless connect buttons on both units and allow the two to connect. Once a link is
established, the Wireless Connect Status LEDs will illuminate, and you’re ready to go.

4 | Host and Standalone Modes

Host Mode

When operating your MidAir system in host mode (with a computer), you’ll need to configure your audio software to
receive MIDI data from the MidAir receiver. For more detailed information about computer-based operation, refer to
the MidAir User Manual found on the M-Audio CD-ROM.

Standalone Mode

When using the MidAir system in Standalone Mode (without a computer), you must make sure the Standalone Mode
Switch is set properly. Refer to the User Manual found on the M-Audio CD-ROM for more information about this
switch.
