1.5 Power Supply
If you are using your Blue Whale with a computer via its USB port, there is no need for an external power supply. Your
Blue Whale will draw its power from the computer.
However, if you are intending to use your Blue Whale without connecting to a computer’s USB port, then you will need to
use an external power supply. No power supply is included in the box, so please select one that meets the following
requirements:
<5V DC <500mA <Center positive
(
DC power adaptor pin diameter:5.5mm*2.1mm
)
Section 2:Basic MIDI Control From Your Blue Whale
Your Blue Whale controller will not make any sound unless it is connected to a computer or other external MIDI gear.
This is because the Blue Whale sends MIDI data when you play it and does not produce sound on its own. Instead, it is
used to control a virtual instrument on your computer or a MIDI sound module to generate sounds.
This is a good place to introduce you to the way we approach the differences between the Blue Whale88 and 61/49/37
and the Blue Whale25. The appearance and functionality of the Blue Whale88/61/49 and 37 are the same, it’s just the
size of the keyboard that is different, so when we give instructions for these models, these four are always grouped
together. The Blue Whale25 looks different and a number of its functions are accessed in a different way, so for this
model we will always give you a separate set of instructions.

2.2 The Keyboard
When you play the keyboard, MIDI note messages are sent. These messages are read by your computer software or
external MIDI gear and used to generate sound accordingly.
