Setup
Turning the power on/off
Connecting the AC adapter
Connect the AC adapter to the M50. For details on this 
connection, please see “Setup” on page 1.
You must use only the included AC adapter. Using 
any other AC adapter may cause malfunctions.
Turning the power on
1. Lower the M50’s VOLUME slider.
If you have connected powered monitor speakers or a 
stereo amp, turn down the volume of these devices.
2. Press the rear panel Power switch to turn on the 
power.
The display will show the model name and software 
version. (The following graphic shows the factory-set 
display. The version number is subject to change 
without notice.)
3. Turn on your powered monitors or stereo amp.
4. Raise the M50’s VOLUME slider to an appropriate 
position, and adjust the volume of your powered 
monitor speakers or stereo amp.
Note: 
The state of M50 when the power is turned on 
will depend on the setting of Power On Mode. (See 
page 84)
Turning the power off
After you’ve finished editing, be sure to write 
(save) your changes.
If you edit a program and then select a different 
program or turn off the power, the changes you 
made will be lost. The same is true for a 
combination.
The settings you edit in Sequencer mode and 
Global mode are remembered as long as the power 
is on, but will be lost when you turn off the power, 
so be sure to save all your data before turning the 
power off.
1. Lower the M50’s VOLUME slider. 
Also turn the volume of your powered monitor 
speakers or stereo amp down to zero.
2. Turn off the power of your powered monitor or 
stereo amp.
3. Press the rear panel Power switch to turn off the 
power.
The display will indicate “Now writing into 
internal memory” while data is being written into 
internal memory. You must not turn off the power 
while this indication is shown.
If the power is turned off while data is being 
written, memory write operations will not be 
completed correctly. If this occurs, M50 will 
automatically initialize its internal memory so that 
it will operate correctly. This is not a malfunction.
In this case, the display will indicate following 
message; press the OK button.
The internal memory has been corrupted, likely 
due to an interruption of power while the system 
was writing/saving data. This has been repaired 
and the affected Bank has been initialized.
