KeyRig 25 User Guide
MIDI Out from USB Mode
When KeyRig 25 is connected to your computer via USB, all MIDI data generated by the keyboard is sent to your computer through the
USB connection. By default, this same data is also “mirrored” and sent out through KeyRig 25’s MIDI Output port. However, KeyRig
25’s “MIDI Out from USB Mode” makes it possible to reconfigure the MIDI Output port so that it appears as a completely independent
MIDI output to your music software. You can then use this port to control a separate MIDI device (such as a sound module or sampler)
through your software (you will still be able to use KeyRig 25 as a controller).
To activate MIDI Out from USB mode:
1.
Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button.
2.
Press the MIDI OUT key.
The LED display will show “USB,” indicating that the MIDI Out port is now independent of the local KeyRig 25 keys and MIDI
controls and will output data sent to the device from your music software.
To deactivate MIDI Out from USB mode and return to normal operation, repeat the steps listed above. The LED display will show
‘Int’ indicating that the M-Audio KeyRig 25 keyboard is once again sending mirrored data out of the USB and MIDI Output ports.
KeyRig 25 Advanced Features
This section deals with the more advanced features found within the KeyRig 25 keyboard. We have included this information for “power users”
who want to explore and use the keyboard’s in-depth features and additional capabilities to their full extent. This information is not required reading
for most users and readers who are not interested in more advanced MIDI programming concepts can feel free to skip this section.
Recalling Presets
KeyRig 25 is capable of storing five “presets” containing all control assignments and keyboard configuration settings. Use the “DEC”
and “INC“ buttons to step through the five available presets. The LED will display the preset number preceded by a “p” to indicate which
preset is currently loaded.
The following is a list of the five “factory default presets” that have been pre-programmed into KeyRig 25:
•
01 GM Preset
•
02 Reason Native
•
03 Reason Mixer
•
04 Yamaha XG/Roland JV Preset
•
05 Undefined CC’s for MIDI learn*
Note that these default settings can be modified to suit your particular needs (this is described below, beginning with the “Program
Mode Overview” section.)
* Some applications do not have any default settings and require you to set the MIDI controllers for the application’s parameters
yourself. This normally involves placing the application into a “MIDI Learn” mode, selecting an on-screen control and moving
the hardware controller you wish to assign to it. When working with such an application, it is recommended that the controller
numbers used by MIDI controls on the keyboard do not already have another function associated with them – this is how preset #5
is configured.
