Installation and Setup Overview for Windows XP 

It is important that installation and setup take place in the following sequence (all of 
these steps are explained in detail below):
1.  Connect the KeyStudio USB MIDI keyboard to your computer and turn it on.
2.   Install the Session music creation software. This software enables support for 

the M-Audio Micro USB audio interface, and must be installed before the Micro 
is connected.

3.   Connect the M-Audio Micro USB audio interface. This device not only serves as 

a high performance USB audio interface, but also as the copy protection key for 
Session. Micro must be connected for Session to launch.

Connecting the KeyStudio Keyboard to your PC 

1.   Use the provided USB cable to connect KeyStudio to an available USB port on 

your computer. The USB cable not only powers the keyboard but also transmits 
MIDI data to your computer.  

2.   Make sure that the power switch on the back of the keyboard is in the “on” ( I ) 

position. KeyStudio is now ready to be used – no additional installation steps 
are required.

Installing the M-Audio Session Software 

PLEASE NOTE: 

Do not connect your M-Audio Micro audio interface to your computer until 

the Session software has been installed. Leave your Micro disconnected until instructed to 
connect it.

1. 

 Insert the M-Audio Session 
DVD-ROM into your computer’s 
DVD-ROM drive.

2. 

 The computer will automatically 
display the install screen

. If 

your computer fails to launch the 
installer, manually start it by clicking 
on Start>My Computer>Session.
