M-AUDIO 49i Manuel D’Utilisation

Selecting Categories and Instruments

When the M-Audio GM Module software is launched in standalone mode, it sends 
a MIDI message to the KeyStudio keyboard. This message programs the Octave 
buttons on KeyStudio 49i to send program change messages. The GM Module 
software always opens with program zero selected on GM Module channel 1. This 
mutes the GM Module, allowing only the KeyStudio 49i built-in piano sound to be 
heard. Pushing the Octave “>” button unmutes the GM Module, and allows you to 
step through program numbers 1-127, which trigger General MIDI sounds in the 
GM Module software (see the User Guide Appendix A). The built-in piano sound in 
KeyStudio 49i will remain silent while playing any of the GM Module sounds when 
the software is in standalone mode.  If program zero is once again selected on GM 
Module channel 1, the GM Module software will once again be muted, and the 
KeyStudio 49i built-in piano sound will be heard.

GM Module arranges its sounds into General MIDI standard categories. Clicking 
the category field produces a drop-down menu of all of these categories. 
Although selecting a new Category changes the list of available instruments in 
the Instrument field, it is necessary to make a selection from the Instrument field 
for a new sound to load. This is useful when using the GM Module software in live 
performance situations where it may be undesirable for the first sound in a category 
to automatically load. In such situations, it is usually preferred to have the previous 
sound loaded until you select a particular sound from within a category.

contained on the KeyStudio 49i CD-ROM.

Third Party Software Configuration

With the KeyStudio 49i keyboard properly installed, any MIDI capable software 
application on the same system should recognize KeyStudio 49i as a MIDI input 
device. To use the KeyStudio 49i keyboard with your software, you may need to 
configure the software to read MIDI data being sent from KeyStudio 49i. This 
often entails going into the Options or Device Setup menu in your music software 
application and selecting “M-Audio KeyStudio IO In” or “USB Audio Device” as the 
MIDI input. In Windows XP, KeyStudio 49i will appear as “USB Audio Device” if the 
M-Audio drivers have not been installed. After installing these drivers, KeyStudio 
49i should appear as “M-Audio KeyStudio IO.*” Please consult your software’s 
documentation for instructions on how to configure the software for use with MIDI 
input devices.
