 Keyboard User Manual 

 

 

Your Evolution eKeys

49

 package should contain the following items: 

 
 
 
 
 
 

If any of the above listed items are missing, please contact the retailer you purchased the 
product from. 

 
 

 

This instruction manual covers the operation of the eKeys

49

 USB keyboard.  We do not 

explain how to set it up, however with third party music software, most programs will work 
straight away with the eKeys

49

 keyboard.  

 
To learn about the included software PictureBoard, Music Teacher and Sound Studio, 
please insert the eKeys

49

 Installer CD-Rom and click “Software Installation”. Once in-

stalled you can read more about how to operate these great programs in their respective 
help menus. 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

You are probably eager to plug in your eKeys

49

 keyboard and get started, but it’s  

sensible to check the installation documentation first. 
 
You can power the keyboard either via USB or an optional external power supply. 

Use 

only one method at a time.

  

 

 

 

1. 

Check that the on/off button

 

on the back of the unit is set to “Off”. 

2. 

Plug in the USB cable provided with the eKeys

49

 keyboard to a free USB port 

on your computer. 

3. 

Plug in the other end of the USB cable to the USB socket on  

 

the eKeys

49

 keyboard. 

 
The single USB cable not only powers the keyboard but also sends MIDI data to and from 
your computer system.   

 
 

 

If you are using Windows XP or Mac OS X you can now simply switch the power position 
to “on”. Because the eKeys

49

 keyboard is class compliant it will work with out any further 

installation.
