16. 

 Power Switch 

– This switch powers the unit on and off.  If both AC and battery power are available, the keyboard 

will  opt  for AC  power  in  order  to  preserve  battery  life.   When  not  in  use,  be  sure  to  turn  off  the  unit  to  preserve  
battery life. 

17. 

Power Jack (DC in 9V)

 – Connect the optional 9V DC, 500mA external power supply to this jack.

18. 

 Battery Compartment (on bottom)

 – Accommodates six AA batteries. To avoid damage to the keyboard, observe 

proper polarity when inserting batteries.

* Only available on MidAir 37

Receiver

1. 

 

Power Jack 

– If you plan to use the MidAir receiver as a standalone device (without a computer), connect the optional 

9V DC, 500mA power supply here.

2. 

 

USB Connector 

– Connect a USB cable from this output to the host computer’s USB port. When using the USB 

connection, the receiver unit is powered via the host computer and a power adapter is not required.

3. 

 

MIDI In (In)

 – You can connect a MIDI device (such as a keyboard or electronic drum kit) to this input.  Note that this 

input varies in function depending on whether your MidAir setup is in standalone mode or connected to a computer:

<

   When used in standalone mode, either the wireless signal from the MidAir keyboard or from the MIDI input is 

routed to the MIDI output port of the receiver.  The Standalone Mode switch (8) determines which source is 

routed.

<

   When the receiver is used with a computer, the computer sees this port as a separate USB MIDI device that is 

unrelated to the MidAir keyboard.  Data received at this port is treated as an independent MIDI input, and is not 

merged with incoming MIDI data from the MidAir keyboard.

4. 

 

MIDI Out (Out) 

– Connect this output to other MIDI devices using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable.  The function of this 

port varies depending on whether you are using the MidAir receiver in standalone mode or with a computer:

<

 

 Standalone mode 

– When operating in Standalone mode, the Standalone Mode switch (8) determines the 

source of this output.

<

   

Host Based 

– When the MidAir receiver is connected to a computer, this port appears as an independent MIDI 

out, available for sending MIDI messages from your software to an external MIDI device. In host mode, this MIDI 

output port has no relation to the MidAir keyboard.  In this setup, the Standalone Mode switch is ignored and does 

not affect operation in any way.

5.    

Wireless Connect Button 

– This button operates in exactly the same way as the Wireless Connect button found on 

the MidAir keyboard.  See the description in the previous section for more information about this button.

6. 

 

Wireless Connection Status LED 

– This green LED functions in the same way as the Wireless Connection Status 

LED found on the MidAir keyboard.  Refer to the description in the previous section for more about this LED.
