This will depend on how you set up your software (see section “Using the
KEYSTATION in your Application Software.”) The audio output of the sound
card can be plugged directly into a sound system, or into a mixer, which is
then connected to a sound system.
3. The MIDI Output of the KEYSTATION is connected to the MIDI In of a sound
module. The audio output of the sound module can be plugged directly into
a sound system, or into a mixer, which is then connected to a sound system.
In the set-up below, the KEYSTATION is being used as a MIDI controller as well
as a MIDI interface, inputting MIDI data to the computer and its application
software, and outputting MIDI to a sound module from which sounds will be
produced. The KEYSTATION as a controller may also send MIDI information
to an existing internal soundcard’s MIDI synthesizer or any installed software
synthesizer, outputting the audio from the computer soundcard.
In this scenario, it may not be necessary to apply external power to the
KEYSTATION. With the power switch set to “Power Off,” the KEYSTATION
receives power from the USB port on your computer. It is recommended that you
either plug directly into the USB port on the computer, or use a powered USB hub.
You may also choose to use external power form the power supply or batteries.
Additionally, the KEYSTATION may be used as a “standalone” keyboard
controller, independent of the computer and its USB port. In this case, the
KEYSTATION must receive power either from the power supply or batteries, by
switching the power on from the rear panel. A setup such as this may be used in
a performance situation,or when you wish to use the keyboard without the
computer.
