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 and virtual instruments, which respond
by generating sound as instructed. Tone modules can be standalone sound devices
or can be integrated into a MIDI instrument, such as 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 configure your sound module.
Make sure you have connected the MIDI In of your external
sound module to the MIDI Out of your MIDI interface.
1. In the External Devices window, click the Add button.
2. Select your device in the menu on the left. If your device is not listed,
select New Instrument. At this point you can customize the name of
your keyboard by entering the manufacturer and device names.
3. Specify which MIDI channels will be used to communicate with this sound
module. For most purposes, you should select all MIDI channels. If you are
unsure of which MIDI channels to select, we suggest you select all 16.
