MidAir can be used in two basic configurations. Please take a look at the scenarios outlined below to find the one that best
works for you.
Scenario 1: MidAir as a Wireless, Host-Based Controller
If you plan to use your MidAir system in a computer-
based recording studio, this setup should best serve
your needs. In this configuration, the keyboard operates
wirelessly while the receiver communicates with the
keyboard and provides an extra set of wired MIDI inputs
and outputs to your computer. You can use these extra
inputs and outputs to connect another MIDI device in
your studio.
The MidAir transmitter can be powered by batteries or
the AC adapter. The wireless receiver draws its power
from the USB bus and does not require any AC power.
NOTE
: In this configuration, your audio software will
detect two MidAir MIDI input ports and one MIDI
output. The first input is from your wireless MidAir
transmitter whereas the second input is the wired 5-pin
MIDI input (i.e., any MIDI device you connect to the 5-
pin input). The output port lets you send out MIDI data
to any device that is connected to the MidAir receiver.
