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.

Windows XP installation

The first time you switch the keyboard on, Windows displays a message indicating that the hardware wizard has detected a newly connected USB audio device. Windows auto matically installs a standard Wind ows driver for the device. This driver lets you use the keyboard right away. We recommend, however, using the special MIDIMASTER USB driver that we have provided on the product CD. This driver offers better support, for example when installing MIDI/USB audio devices later, and furthermore, our driver displays t he drivers (TerraTec MIDI MASTER USB) and keyboard devices (MK-249 USB MIDI IN/OUT) correctly in the integrated software application.

For a new installation, follow these steps:

· Open the Windows Device Manager (Start / Sett ings / Control Panel / System / Hardwa re / Device Manager) and click the “+” symbol next to “Sound, video and game controllers”.

The functions of the MIDIMASTER USB

Please note: If more than 5 seconds pass before a key is pressed, every input menu is automatically closed and the LED display sho ws the program selection number selected last. If you enter undefined or invalid values, the last used, valid settings remain intact.

Pitch bend wheel

Moving this wheel sends MIDI pitch bend commands to the connected equipment. This changes the pitch of the addressed sounds up and down. The distance of the pitch change can be configured using the tone generator.

Modulation wheel (MIDI controller freely programmable)

Use this wheel to add various effects to your music. This lets you assign various functio ns in the form of MIDI controllers. To configure the mod ulation wheel for a new effect, press both “Wheel Assign” buttons at the same time (Memory and Program). The LED display begins to blink and you can enter the number of the desired MIDI controller using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number. See page 16 (MIDI controller list) for a list of all common MIDI controllers.

By default, this playing aid is programmed as a modulation wheel.

Volume control (MIDI controller freely programmable)

You can also assign various function in the form o f MIDI controllers to the volume controller. To configure the volume controller for a new effect, press both “Slider Assign” buttons at the same time (program and LSB bank). The LED d isplay begins to blink and you can enter the number of the desired MIDI controller using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number. See page 16 (MIDI controller list) for a list of all common MIDI controllers.

By default, this playing aid is programmed as a volume controller.

Program selection (selecting an instrument)

To select an instrument on a connected device (such as a sound card or MIDI expander), press the “Program” button. The LED display begins to blink. Now enter the number of the desired instrument using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the + /- keys to select the desired number. See page 17 (GM set) for a list of a common general MIDI (GM) set.

MIDI Master USB (English) 11

Bank selection

To select a new instrument bank on a connected device (such as a sound card or MIDI expander), MSB and/or LSB messages can be sent.

To send the LSB number, press the “BANK LSB” button. The LED display begins to blink. Now enter the number of the desired instrument using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number.

To send the MSB number, press the “BANK MSB” button. The LED display begins to blink. Now enter the number of the desired instrument using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number.

Program and bank selection storage

Program and bank selection numbers (LSB / MSB) can be stored in the MIDIMASTER USB, allowing you to send them subsequently using the number keys (0-9).

Select a program, bank LSB or bank MSB number as described in the previous chapter. Then press the “Memory” keys. The LED display begins to blink. No w press the desired number key (0-9). Note that the previously selected program and bank selection numbers ar e always assigned together to a single number key.

Octave selection

The “Octave” keys (+/-) shift the tone pitch of the clavier one oct ave up or down respectively. The LED display shows the pitch of t he shift while you modify the octave. If you press both “Octave” keys simu ltaneously, the tone is reset to the standard octave.

Transposing

You can transpose the keyboard in 12 halftone steps. To d o so, press the “Transpose” button. The LED display begins to blink. You ca n now use the + and – keys to transpose the keyboard by halftone steps. Here, too, the LED display indicates the current value.

If you press both the + and - keys simultaneously, the transposition is reset to the standard value. Switching the MIDIMASTER USB on always resets the transposition to its standard.

MIDI transmit channels

There are 16 different MIDI channels to which the MIDIMASTER USB ca n transmit MIDI data. Always make sure that the receiver, for example your external MIDI expander or similar co mputer software, is set to the same channel or, if desired, is set to listen to all 16 channels all the time. Now enter the number of the desired MIDI transmit channel using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number.

When the keyboard is switched on, channel 1 is set.

12 MIDI Master USB (English)

Key-strike dynamics (velocity curves)

The keyboard of the MIDIMASTER USB measures the amount of force applied when striking the keys and sends this data to the external MIDI equipment. Because there is a direct correlation between the strike force and the key acceleration, this is sometimes called the “velocity” measurement.

Through a transmitted velocity cont roller, for example, a connected e-piano can control tone volume based on the strike force. To allow you to optimally customize the strike force to your personal playing style, the MIDIMASTER USB 10 (0-9) provides various key-strike characteristics (called velocity curves).

Press the “Wheel Assign” and “Channel” buttons at the same time. The LED display begins blinking and the currently configured curve is displayed. Now enter t he number of the desired velocity curve using the number keys or, alternatively, you can use the +/- keys to select the desired number. Furthermore, you can set the key-strike dynamics to one of three fixed values (F0-F2), meaning the same velocity value is always transmitted regardless of the strike force.

This can be very useful, for example, when playing in drum sounds.

MIDI-Out via USB

This interesting feature lets you use the MIDI output on the keyboard as a computer USB MIDI interface. When activated, the MIDI information generated by the keyboard are not sent through the MIDI-out jack. Since the

USB-MIDI driver of the MIDIMASTER USB can also receive data from the computer, this data is sent directly to the MIDI-out jack on t he keyboard when the “MIDI-out through USB” functio n is enabled. This lets you use the MIDIMASTER USB, for example, as a recording keyboard and, at the same time, as a MIDI interface for other external equipment.

To activate this feature, press the “Bank MSB” and “Transpose” simultaneously and then press the “+” key. When done correctly, “YES” appears on the LED display. Deactivate the

MIDI Master USB (English) 13

feature by pressing “Bank MSB” and “Transpose” simultaneously and then pressing the “-” key. This is confirmed with “NO” on the LED display.

GM (General MIDI) reset

Use this function to send a general MIDI reset. Press and hold the “Bank LSB” and “Bank MSB” keys at the same time for at least 2 seconds.
