The basic MIDI Controllers   

Because  BK492  does  not  contain  built-in  soundcard,  play  the  keyboard  will 

only send MIDI data out including the midi message. A virtual instrument can 

change  it  into  a  track  of  your  DAW  software  and  creates  the  sound  based  on 

the  MIDI  message  received  from  BK492.  For  more  details  on  using  virtual 

instruments, please refer to the documentation in your DAW software.
