Octave Buttons An octave contains 12 notes and each octave is marked out clearly on your KeyRig 49 keyboard by black and white sections starting on C Each octave is given a number KeyRig 49 is able to shift the pitch of its keys up or down by one or more octaves When the keyboard s octaves are not shifted octave shift set to zero the lights above both the Octave lt and Octave gt buttons will be lit The default octave shift designation is zero and will be the octave setting each time you power up the keyboard If you press the Octave gt button once the light above the Octave lt button will go out indicating the keyboard is now playing an octave higher If you press the Octave gt button again the keyboard will be shifted up two octaves It is possible to shift the keyboard up a total of four octaves using the Octave gt button To shift the octave down press the Octave lt button in the same manner pressing once for one octave twice for two octaves and three times for three octaves It is possible to shift the keyboard down a total of three octaves To return the keyboard s octave shift to zero press both the Octave lt and gt buttons at the same time Both LEDs will light indicating that the octave shift has returned to zero In summary when the Octave buttons are set to control octave shift default if the light is only lit above the Octave gt button the oct

When running Key Rig as a plug in your host application s MIDI input settings determine the MIDI information received by Key Rig Please consult your host application s documentation for more information on MIDI routing When using the Key Rig software in standalone mode be sure to select your ASIO compatible sound card and output channels from the pull down menu at the top of Key Rig s screen as shown M Audio Delta ASIO M AUDIO KeyRig 49 User Guide 7 The KeyRig 49 Keyboard Key Names The letters printed above the white keys stand for the names of the musical notes the keys represent The number next to each letter marks the octave each key belongs to More information on octaves can be found in the following section Black keys are semitones to their adjacent white keys and don t have a dedicated letter A semitone represents the distance in pitch from one note to its immediate neighbor Black keys usually have the same name as the next higher or lower white key but have an additional sharp symbol semitone higher than the letter indicates or flat symbol b semitone lower than the letter indicates attached to them For example the name of the black key to the right of C3 is C 3 C sharp 3 but it can also be called Db3 D flat 3 since it is also adjacent to the D key on its right In other words black keys have two valid names depending on the context of the musical notation they are part of
