Recommended Installation

Ableton Live Lite: We've included Ableton Live Lite with your Keystation so you can get started making

music with professional software right out of the box. Select the Ableton Live Lite software open the "setup"

application or .exe (Windows) or .mpkg file (Mac OS X), and then follow the on-screen instructions to install

the software. Also, visit ableton.com to check for any available software updates.

Getting Started

Once you have finished installation you will need to configure your MIDI software to use the Keystation.

Please note that when you press a key on the keyboard, you will not hear any sound. This is because

pressing a key causes the keyboard to send out MIDI data. MIDI data gives instructions on how a sound

should play, but in order to actually hear that sound you need to configure your music software to read the

MIDI data being sent from the Keystation and play the sound back accordingly. This setup will more than

likely entail going into an Options or Device Set-Up menu in your music software application and selecting

the appropriate device. The Keystation should appear under the name “USB Audio Device” for Windows XP,

Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or as “Keystation 61” for other operating systems in the MIDI devices

section of your music software application. Please consult the manual that came with your software for the

proper setup procedure.

Features

Top Panel

Keyboard

Most of the white keys and black keys on the Keystation are labeled with names. When in the Advanced

menu, pressing any of the labeled keys will allow for special operations such as adjusting the MIDI channel,

transposing, and sending program change messages.

Octave Buttons

If you press the octave “+” button once, the LED above the octave “-” button will turn off, indicating the

keyboard’s octave is now shifted up. If you press the octave “+” key again, you will shift one more octave up,

and so on. It is possible to shift the keyboard up 3 octaves or down 3 octaves from 0 octave shift.

To shift the octave down, press the octave “-” button and notice that the LED above the octave “+” turns off. If

only the LED above the octave “-” key is lit, the octave is shifted down and, if only the LED above the octave

“+” key is lit, the octave is shifted up. The octave “+” and octave “-” LEDs will change color when moving up

or down more than one octave.

To return the octave shift to 0, press both the octave “+” and “-” keys together. Both LEDs will light, indicating

that the octave shift has returned to 0.

Volume Slider

The Volume Slider sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the notes you are playing. The Volume

Slider can also be assigned to different effects such as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more.

(See Advanced Functions for more information.)

Pitch Bend Wheel

As the name indicates, the pitch bend wheel is primarily used to bend the notes played on the keyboard up or

down. This allows you to play phrases not normally associated with keyboard playing, such as guitar-style

riffs. Your sound source determines how far you can bend the note. The usual setting is two semitones, but it

can be up to two octaves up or down.

Modulation Wheel

The modulation wheel is typically used for modulation of the sound you are playing. This type of real-time

controller was originally introduced on electronic keyboard instruments to give the performer options such as

adding vibrato, just like players of acoustic instruments do. The modulation wheel is fully MIDI-assignable.
