Quick Start Guide

Quick Installation - Windows XP / Mac OS X

Your M-Audio MidAir 25/37 wireless MIDI controller 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 and keyboard controller, and you’re ready to go—no
drivers required.

However, we recommend that Windows users install M-Audio drivers when they intend to:
(1) use MidAir 25/37 with more than one application at the same time, (2) use long SysEx
(system exclusive) commands, or (3) simultaneously use other class-compliant USB devices
with audio capabilities. These drivers can be downloaded from www.m-audio.com under the
Support > Drivers page.

Installation Instructions for Windows XP (optional)

PLEASE NOTE: Make sure the MidAir receiver is disconnected from your computer when the M-Audio drivers are being
installed. The following instructions will indicate when you should connect the receiver to your computer.

Linking the Keyboard and Receiver

Your MidAir keyboard and receiver are linked at the factory and should be ready to use right out of the box. In a small
number of cases, the keyboard and the receiver may not automatically connect when both are powered on for the
first time. If this happens, the Wireless Connection Status LED found on each of the two units will flash and eventually
turn off.

To resolve this issue, simply press the wireless connect buttons on the receiver and the keyboard and allow the two
units to connect wirelessly. Once a link is established, the Wireless Connect Status LEDs will stay illuminated, and
you’ll be ready to go.

Using MidAir in Host and Standalone Modes

Standalone Mode

When using the MidAir system in standalone mode (without a computer), you must make sure the receiver’s Standalone
Mode switch is set properly. The default setting “auto” works best for most purposes. However, you can manually
configure the receiver to use only the physical MIDI input jack or only the wireless MIDI port by setting the Standalone
Mode switch accordingly

Refer to the User Manual found on the MidAir Series CD-ROM for more information about using MidAir in standalone
mode.

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. Your software will detect two MidAir MIDI input ports:

< The first port is the wireless MIDI input. Select this input to receive MIDI data from your MidAir keyboard.

< The second port is the wired 5-pin MIDI input. Select this input to receive data from any MIDI device that is

connected to the receiver’s 5-pin MIDI input.

Note that in host mode, the Standalone Mode switch does not affect the MidAir receiver’s operation in any way (the switch is
only active in standalone mode). For more detailed information about computer-based operation, refer to the User Manual found
on the MidAir Series CD-ROM.
