1.

 

POWER INPUT  – Connect an 
optional 6V DC – 2A power adapter 
(center pin positive, sold separately) 
to this jack then into an electrical 
outlet.   

2.

 

POWER ADAPTER RESTRAINT – You can secure a power adapter cable to this restraint to prevent it 
from accidentally unplugging. 

3.

 

KENSINGTON LOCK SLOT – You may use this Kensington lock slot to secure MAX49 to a table or 
other surface. 

4.

 

USB PORT – Use the included USB cable to connect this port to the USB port of your computer. 
MAX49 will be powered by your computer's USB connection. MAX49 is class-compliant, so it is "plug-
and-play" – no separate driver installation is necessary. 

5.

 

MIDI OUT – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of MAX49 to the MIDI IN of an optional 
external device. 

6.

 

MIDI IN – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of an optional external MIDI device to the 
MIDI IN of MAX49. 

7.

 

EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT – Connect an optional 1/4" TRS expression pedal to this input. 

8.

 

FOOTSWITCH INPUTS – Connect an optional 1/4" TS footswitch to these inputs. If you are using a 
sustain pedal, connect it to the FS1/SUSTAIN input. 

9.

 

CV OUT – Use a 1/4" TS cable (not included) to connect this output to an optional external sequencer 
to send MAX49's control voltage (CV) data (0-5V, 1V/octave). The data sent over this connection can 
be set in Global Mode. Please also see the CV section of this manual. 

10.

  GATE OUT – Use a 1/4" TS cable (not included) to connect this output to an optional external 

sequencer to send MAX49's Gate (trigger) data. The data sent over this connection can be set in 
Global Mode. 

 

 
MAX49 has four different modes of operation. Each 
mode can be accessed by pressing the 
corresponding button on MAX49.  
 
In each page of each mode: 

•  Use the up/down CURSOR BUTTONS to move between settings on the current page. 

•  Use the left/right CURSOR BUTTONS to move between different pages. 

•  Turn the VALUE DIAL to change the currently selected value/setting.  

 
Following is a short description of each mode. Each mode is described in detail in its corresponding section 
later in this manual. 
 
[EDIT] 

 Edit Mode: This mode allows you to edit the configuration of MAX49. Edit Mode is a powerful tool 

for customizing your set-up. In this mode, you can make changes to how the keyboard, pads, touch faders 
and other features behave. For example, you may want a touch fader to transmit only a limited range of MIDI 
data, or you may want the pads to transmit on a different MIDI channel from the keyboard. You can change 
these and other various parameters in Edit Mode. (See the EDIT MODE PARAMETERS section for a 
summarized list of parameters.) 
 
[PROGRAM] 

 Program Mode: This mode allows you to load your stored Programs. A Program is a 

collection of information about how the controls – keyboard, pads, touch faders, etc. – will behave (their 
behavior can be adjusted in Edit Mode then stored). Using Programs allows you to save different 
configurations, which can be quickly loaded when you need them, without having to reprogram MAX49 every 
time. 
 
[GLOBAL] 

 Global Mode: This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to 

how MAX49 functions. For example, you can set the brightness of the LCD screen, the MIDI common 
channel, MIDI clock settings, the pads' and keyboard's velocity curve and sensitivity, and more.  

 

[PROG CHANGE]   Program Change Mode: This mode allows you to transmit various Program Change 
messages. In this mode, you can make your DAW or external device switch to a different program bank of 
sounds. This way, you can switch between programs right from MAX49 rather than switching them manually 
on your DAW or external device.
