5. Modulation Wheel: The modulation wheel is typically used for modulation of the sound
you are playing. This type of real-time controller was originally introduced on electronic
keyboard instruments to give the performer options such as adding vibrato, just like
players of acoustic instruments do. The modulation wheel is fully MIDI-assignable.
6. Advanced Button: The Advanced button is used to access all the advanced functions of
the keyboard.
When the Advanced 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 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, channel selection, and DAW selection.
Your keyboard will exit 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
button will turn off). The keyboard can then be used to play notes again.
Note: Refer to the Advanced section for more information.
7. Directional Buttons: These buttons can use the MIDI, Mackie Control
to control certain functions in software that support them. Please see the Directional
Buttons and Transport Buttons section of the Advanced Functions chapter for more
information.
8. Transport Buttons: These buttons can use the MIDI, Mackie Control or HUI
to control certain functions in software that support them. Please see the Directional
Buttons and Transport Buttons section of the Advanced Functions chapter for more
information.
Rear Panel
1. Kensington® Lock: Use this port to
attach a security cable to the unit.
2. 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.
3. Sustain Pedal
accepts a momentary-contact foot pedal (sold separately). When pressed, this pedal will
sustain the sound you are playing without having to keep your fingers pressed down on
the keys.
NOTE: For realistic pedal action, check out the SP-2. The SP-2 is M-Audio's switchable
sustain pedal with the ability to connect to the Sustain Pedal input on Keystation 49 MK3.
NOTE: The polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup.
When Keystation 49 MK3 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 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.
4. On/Off Switch: Use this switch to power the device on or off.
