KeyRig 25 Quick Start Guide

Using Key Rig Virtual Instrument Software

Once installed, Key Rig software can be used in two modes:

Standalone Mode:

This mode allows you to use Key Rig on your computer without any additional software. Key Rig can be launched in standalone mode through the Windows “Start” menu or by double-clicking the shortcut icon on your desktop (if you have chosen to create it in the installer).

When using the Key Rig application in standalone mode, be sure to select your ASIO-compatible sound card and output channels from the pull down menu at the top of the program (as shown below). This will ensure that Key Rig’s outputs are routed correctly through your audio interface.

NOTE: An ASIO-compatible audio interface is required to use the Key Rig software.

Key Rig does not require any MIDI input confi guration while in standalone mode. The software automatically receives MIDI data messages from your KeyRig 25 USB controller keyboard or from every other MIDI interface installed on the computer.

VST or RTAS plug-in mode:

If you use digital audio workstation (DAW) software such as Pro Tools or Cubase SX, this mode allows you to use Key Rig from within the DAW application as a “plug-in.” In this mode, your DAW software determines what MIDI information is routed to Key Rig and how the plug-in’s audio output

is routed through your computer. Please consult your host application’s documentation for more information on audio and MIDI routing as well as how to use plug-ins.
