7.5 Studio One Artist Quick Start
Setting Up an External MIDI Keyboard Controller from the Start Page
A MIDI keyboard controller is a hardware device that is generally used
for playing and controlling other MIDI devices, virtual instruments, and
software parameters. In Studio One Artist, these devices are referred to
as Keyboards, and they must be configured before they are available
for use. In some cases, your MIDI keyboard controller is also used as a
tone generator. Studio One Artist views the two functions of these types
of hardware as two different devices: a MIDI keyboard controller and a
sound module. The MIDI controls (keyboard, knobs, faders, etc.) will be
set up as a Keyboard. The sound module will be set up as an Instrument.
1. You can set up your external MIDI devices from the
Setup area in the Start page. Before we set up a new
Song for recording, let’s take a moment to configure
external devices.
Connect the MIDI Out of your external MIDI
controller to a MIDI In on your MIDI interface.
If you are using a USB MIDI controller, connect
it to your computer and power it on.
Click on the Configure External Devices
link in the Setup area on the Start page to
launch the External Devices window.
Click the Add button.
2. The Add Device window will launch.
From the menu on the left, select New
Keyboard. At this point, you can customize
the name of your keyboard by entering
the manufacturer and device names.
You must specify which MIDI channels will be used
to communicate with this keyboard. For most
purposes, you should select all MIDI channels. If
you are unsure of which MIDI channels to select,
select all 16.
3. In the Receive From drop-down menu, select the
MIDI-interface input from which Studio One Artist
will receive MIDI data.
