Advanced Functions Button
The Advanced Functions button is used to access all the advanced functions of the keyboard.
When the Advanced Functions button is pressed, the keyboard goes into "Edit Mode." In Edit Mode, the keys
on the keyboard are used for selecting functions and entering data.
The LED above the Advanced Functions button indicates whether or not Edit Mode is engaged. In Edit Mode,
the black keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions, while the white keys are used for data entry
and channel selection.
Your keyboard will slip out of Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the Advanced button, CANCEL
or ENTER key is pressed (the LED above the Advanced Functions button will turn off). The keyboard can
then be used to play notes again.
Note: Refer to the Advanced Functions section for more information.

USB Port: The USB port delivers power to the keyboard
and transmits MIDI data when connected to a computer
to trigger a software synth or MIDI sequencer.

Sustain
Pedal
momentary-contact foot pedal (sold separately). When
pressed, this pedal will sustain the sound you are
playing without having to keep your fingers pressing
down the keys.
NOTE: The polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup. When Keystation
49es is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the "up" (Off) position. It is important that the
sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the pedal will reverse its operation, and notes will
sustain when the pedal is not pressed.
NOTE: A foot pedal can be used for sustaining the sound that you are playing, without having to keep
your hands on the keyboard (just like the sustain pedal on a piano).
You can plug a foot pedal of any polarity, sold separately, into the foot pedal input on your M-Audio
keyboard. The keyboard will automatically detect the correct polarity when powering up. If you want to
reverse the polarity, simply depress the pedal when you switch on your keyboard.
