Getting More Out Of Your Sound Blaster

One of the most common sound cards is the SoundBlaster from Creative Labs. You may have one installed in your PC already without knowing what power is behind its sound engine. It is not easy to access all the parameters available but again we have done the hard work for you. This is how you get your keyboard to work instantly with your SoundBlaster:

1.Press the function button (7) “Recall”.

2.Type “30” on the numerical keypad (3).

This selects the SoundBlaster setup on your keyboard.

3.Launch your MIDI sequencer and select a MIDI track.

4.Make sure to set the output of your MIDI track to “SB Live! Synth” or “SB Audigy Synth”.

5.Play your keyboard while moving any faders or controls on the keyboard

The MK-425C/449C/461C remote controls filter and sound parameters on the SoundBlaster card using some of the extended programming options in the keyboard.
