Quick Start Guide
Using Key Rig Virtual Instrument Software
Once installed, Key Rig software can be used in two modes:
Standalone Mode:
This mode allows you to use Key Rig on your computer without any additional
software. Key Rig can be launched in standalone mode through the Windows
“Start” menu or by double-clicking the shortcut icon on your desktop (if you
have chosen to create it in the installer).
When using the Key Rig application in standalone mode, be sure to select your
ASIO-compatible sound card and output channels from the pull down menu at
the top of the program (as shown below). This will ensure that Key Rig’s outputs
are routed correctly through your audio interface.
NOTE:
An ASIO-compatible audio interface is required to use the Key Rig
software.
Key Rig does not require any MIDI input confi guration while in standalone
mode. The software automatically receives MIDI data messages from your
KeyRig 25 USB controller keyboard or from every other MIDI interface installed
on the computer.
VST or RTAS plug-in mode:
If you use digital audio workstation (DAW) software such as Pro Tools or
Cubase SX, this mode allows you to use Key Rig from within the DAW
application as a “plug-in.” In this mode, your DAW software determines what
MIDI information is routed to Key Rig and how the plug-in’s audio output
is routed through your computer. Please consult your host application’s
documentation for more information on audio and MIDI routing as well as how to
use plug-ins.
