Enigma Software

Enigma is a powerful program that allows you to change the settings of any assignable slider, knob, or button on the KeyStudio 25 through an easy-to-use graphical user interface. The program also allows you to store a virtually unlimited amount of presets on your computer’s hard drive—a handy tool for users who have created custom presets for each of their MIDI devices. The program is available for free download at www.m-audio.com

Refer to the Enigma User Guide to learn more about how to use the software with KeyStudio 25

Sending a Snap Shot

Snap Shot is a useful function that can be used to synchronize the receiving MIDI device with the controls on your keyboard. When you send a Snap Shot, the current value of each individual MIDI control (button, knob, slider, etc.) will be sent on the channel that the MIDI control is assigned to. This updates all of the parameters on your MIDI device with the current knob positions on KeyStudio 25. The function can also be used as a creative tool, often with interesting and surprising results.

Press the GLOBAL CHAN and MUTE buttons together to send a “Snap Shot.”

Muting All Controllers

To temporarily mute the KeyStudio 25 fader and knobs, press the function button labeled MUTE. The LED displays “OFF” when this function is engaged.

TIP: This function can also be used to set up the control parameters at the start of a song. If you set all the controller values to obtain the desired effect levels in your song, you can then record the Snap Shot to ensure the song will always play back with the correct effect levels. To do this, put your sequencer into record mode and press the Snap

Shot buttons.

Mute allows you to alter the position of the slider and the knobs without affecting

the settings of your software. Note that this function does not affect buttons, the foot switch, pitch bend and modulation controls, or the keyboard. When one of the aforementioned controls is used, mute is disengaged and all controllers are turned back on.

Use this feature if you are switching between presets with the controllers out of position. You will be able to move the controller to a position relative to the software’s controller value, without causing the software’s controller value to jump.

Program Mode Overview

KeyStudio 25 has two modes of operation: Program mode and Performance mode. Most of the time, the controller stays in Performance mode so you can play regularly—Program mode is only used when you need to configure various parameters like knob assignments. Use the ADVANCED FUNCTION button to enter and exit Program mode (a small dot appears on the lower-right hand side of the display whenever you are in Program mode).

<Once you have entered Program mode, you can select different parameters to edit by pressing one of the keys on the left half of the keyboard. The function of each key is written directly above the key:
