3. If your computer has not got a USB port then...
Connect the keyboard to your PC’s Games/Joystick port using the MIDI to Soundcard cable
which is supplied. One end is round (B) and plugs into the back of the keyboard. The other
end (A) plugs into your computer's Games/Joystick port.
This cable provides the keyboard with its power while the computer is turned on. Switch the
keyboard on and the red LED display will light up.
4. Connecting the keyboard to a sound module or other MIDI hardware
You can connect the keyboard to a sound module or other MIDI hardware using a standard
MIDI cable (not supplied). You will also need to use a power supply unit (not supplied but
available from the Evolution web site) to power the keyboard
5. Remove the Evolution Software Pack CD-ROM from your CD-ROM
drive. Your keyboard is now set up and ready for use.
Now let's check out the features of the keyboard…
Pitchbend Wheel
This wheel bends the pitch of the sound up or down and is used to add expression to your
music.
Modulation Wheel
This wheel allows you to add different effects to your music. By default, it’s set to Modulation
but it can be assigned to a variety of other effects. The full list is available on our web site at
www.evolution.co.uk/manuals
Here are the most popular:
1
Modulation (Tremolo)
7
Volume
10 Pan position (left or right speaker)
64 Sustain (like the hold pedal on a piano)
67 Soft (like the damper pedal on a piano)
91 Reverb (makes the sound feel like it’s in a room)
93 Chorus (depth and body)
To assign the Modulation Wheel to any of these effects, press the two Wheel Assign buttons
together. The LED display will start to flash. Type in the number of the effect you want using
the numbered buttons.
If you have an
MK-249C
keyboard, press the two Control Select buttons together then move
the wheel. Now press the two Control Assign buttons together then type in the number of
the effect you want using the numbered buttons.
