Mac OS X Installation Instructions 

The class-compliant drivers built into Mac OS X provide full support for all of your KeyStudio keyboard’s features  This means that 
no additional M-Audio drivers are necessary (or available) when using your KeyStudio keyboard on Mac OS X - simply connect the 
controller keyboard to the computer using the supplied USB cable, configure your recording software and start making music  

Host Software Configuration

You may need to configure your music software to receive MIDI data from your KeyStudio Series keyboard.* This process varies 
from one application to another, but is usually done through a “Preferences,”  “Setup,” or “Options” menu  Please refer to the 
documentation for your DAW software to learn how to do this.

*  In Windows XP, KeyStudio will appear in recording applications as “USB Audio Device.” Install the M-Audio KeyStudio driver 

(available from www.m-audio.com) as described earlier in this section for KeyStudio to appear by name in your application.
