  • 49 Taste të Ndjeshme ndaj Shpejtësisë: These keys respond to how hard you press them, allowing for dynamic musical expression.
  • Rrota e përkulur e katranit: Located on the left, this wheel allows you to momentarily raise or lower the pitch of notes for expressive effects.
  • Rrota e modulimit: Also on the left, this wheel is typically assigned to control vibrato, filter cutoff, or other continuous parameters within your software.
  • Slider Volume: Adjusts the MIDI output volume. This controls the volume within your software, not the physical output of the keyboard itself.
  • Butonat e oktavës: Use these buttons to shift the entire keyboard's range up or down in octaves. This allows access to a wider range of notes than the 49 physical keys provide.
  • Transpose Buttons: These buttons allow you to shift the pitch of the keyboard up or down in semitone increments.
  • Edit Mode Button: This button is used to access advanced configuration options. Refer to the software documentation for specific functions.

  2. Select MIDI Input: In your DAW's preferences or settings, ensure that the Avid KeyStudio is selected as a MIDI input device.
  3. Load an Instrument: Create a new track and load a virtual instrument (e.g., piano, synth, drums).
  4. Play and Record: You can now play the virtual instrument using the KeyStudio's keys and controls. Use the DAW's recording functions to capture your performance.
