About the Manual

This instruction manual covers the operation of the Keystation 49e USB keyboard. Though we do not provide detailed explanation about how to set up your keyboard for use with third party music software, the majority of these software applications will work seamlessly with the Keystation 49e keyboard.

Connecting Your Keyboard

Before You Connect...

You can power the keyboard either via USB or an optional external power supply. However, the Keystation 49e is a very low power device and an external power supply should not be necessary. It is recommended that you connect the Keystation 49e to an onboard USB port or to a powered USB hub.
