M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 Keyboard Controller Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to install any drivers to use this keyboard?

A: No. The Keystation 49 MK3 is class-compliant, meaning it is a “plug-and-play” device for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Q: Can I use this to play hardware synthesizers?

A: The Keystation 49 MK3 is a USB-MIDI controller, meaning it sends MIDI data to your computer. To control a hardware synthesizer, you would typically need a MIDI interface or a computer acting as a host, as the keyboard does not have a 5-pin MIDI output port.
