5.1 Studio One Artist Quick Start
5.1.3 Configuring Your MIDI Devices
Step 3
In the Receive From drop-down menu, select the MIDI
interface input from which Studio One Artist will receive
MIDI data.
In the Send To drop-down menu, select the MIDI
interface output from which Studio One Artist will send
MIDI data to your keyboard. If your keyboard controller
does not need to receive MIDI data from Studio One (say,
for moving motorized faders and the like), you can leave
this unselected. If your keyboard does need to receive
MIDI date, you must connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI
output of the MIDI breakout cable to the MIDI input of
the keyboard.
Step 4
If this is the only keyboard that you will use to control
the virtual instruments and your external synthesizers
in Studio One Artist, you should check the box next to
Default Instrument Input. This will automatically assign
your keyboard to control all MIDI devices in Studio One
Artist.
Click OK.
If you have a sound module you’d like to connect, leave
the External Devices window open and proceed to the
next part of this section. If not, you can close this window
and skip to Section 5.1.4.
Setting up an external MIDI sound module from the Start page.
MIDI instrument controllers (keyboards, MIDI guitars, etc.) send musical information in the form of
MIDI data to tone modules, which respond by generating sound, as instructed. Tone modules can be
standalone sound devices or can be integrated into a controller, as with a keyboard synthesizer. Studio
One Artist refers to all tone generators as Instruments. Once you have set up your MIDI keyboard
controller, take a moment to congure your sound module.
Step 1
Connect the MIDI In of your external sound module to the
MIDI Out of your MIDI interface.
In the External Devices window, click the Add button.
