Power supply
There are various ways to supply power to the keyboard. Normally, you would connect the
keyboard to your computer's USB port. In this case, the MIDIMASTER USB draws its operating
voltage directly through the USB port (bus-powered). If your computer is not equipped with a
USB port, or if you simply want to co nnect the keyboard to external MIDI devices through the
MIDI-out jacks, you can also pl ug in your keyboard using an optional power pack (+9 volts,
DC, not included in delivery).
Connecting to the computer's USB port / instal ling the drives
If your computer has a USB port, you can connect the keyboard to the computer using the USB
cable provided with the keyboard. Both ends of this cable are labeled with the USB symbol.
With the computer switched on, plug the flat terminal (type A) into the computer and the more
rectangular terminal (type B) into the USB jack on the keyboard. Now switch the keyboard on.
The red LED lights up.
The following guides you through the installation of two drivers, which are required to operate
the MIDIMASTER USB with a PC or MAC.
