Chapter 8: KeyStudio Keyboard Troubleshooting 29
MIDI Issues
This section shows you how to resolve two issues which may come up while using your KeyStudio
keyboard, using the secondary functions of the keyboard.
Stuck MIDI Notes
If you experience an issue where MIDI notes continue to sustain after you have stopped playing the
keyboard and the sustain pedal is not being pressed, you can resolve this by sending an “All Notes
Off” MIDI message.
To send an “All Notes Off” message from your KeyStudio keyboard:
1
Press the Edit Mode button.
2
Press the “ALL NOTES OFF” key (D#3).
Your KeyStudio will exit Edit mode as soon as the D#3 key is pressed and the stuck notes will stop
playing.
Unexpected Instrument Sounds
If one or more instrument presets do not sound as expected, it may mean a MIDI CC has applied an
undesired effect or other type of sound modulation. If you are unsure which MIDI controller should
be used to resolve this, you can send a “Reset All Controllers” MIDI message which resets all controller
to their default values.
To send an “Reset All Controllers” message from your KeyStudio keyboard:
1
Press the Edit Mode button.
2
Press the “RESET ALL CONTROLLERS” key (C#3).
Your KeyStudio will exit Edit mode as soon as the C#3 key is pressed and all controllers will have been
reset to their default values.
