MIDI Connections
You can connect the KeyStudio 49i MIDI output to an external MIDI device’s MIDI 
input. This enables you to control an external synthesizer or sound module while 
using KeyStudio 49i as a standalone keyboard controller. A sustain pedal can also 
be connected to the 1/4” Sustain pedal jack on the back of KeyStudio.
Driver Installation for KeyStudio 49i 
KeyStudio 49i functions as a class-compliant device. This means your computer 
will recognize KeyStudio 49i without the need to install additional drivers. This gives 
immediate access to all audio inputs and outputs as well as to the built-in MIDI 
interface. As you become more familiar with the KeyStudio keyboard, you may wish 
to take advantage of this product’s additional professional features by installing the 
KeyStudio 49i drivers. 
Installing the KeyStudio ASIO drivers in Windows improves audio performance by 
reducing Latency. Latency is the time it takes for MIDI input (when using software 
synthesizers) or audio input signal to appear as audio at your computer’s outputs for 
monitoring purposes. In Windows, additional features also include: using your new 
keyboard with more than one application at the same time (multi-client), sending 
large SysEx messages, or using your KeyStudio 49i with Pro Tools M-Powered 
recording software or the included GM Module software.  
On a Macintosh computer, installing the M-Audio drivers enables you to use your 
KeyStudio 49i with Pro Tools M-Powered recording software.
