Introduction
Thank you for purchasing one of the Devine VersaKey MIDI keyboards. This practical yet
compact and focussed MIDI keyboard offers ideal, hands-on control over the parameters of
a DAW or other software programmes where using a mouse and computer keyboard can be
restricting. The small size and USB-bus powered design combined with the practical control
features and smooth software integration gives you everything you need to support
streamlined audio production.
This user manual will not only provide set-up instructions, but will also explain how to get the
very best out of the functions this keyboard has to offer and how to solve any problems you
may encounter while setting up or using it. We strongly recommend reading these
instructions in detail before using your MIDI keyboard.
Box contents:
1x MIDI keyboard (VersaKey 25, 49, 61 or 88)
1x USB connecting cable
1x Bitwig 8-Track DAW software voucher
Bitwig 8-Track DAW
Specially for this series, Devine has collaborated with one of the most
accessible and user friendly DAW developers: Bitwig.
The Bitwig 8-Track DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) provides any
beginner or advanced music producer everything they need, and by
purchasing a Devine MIDI controller, you’re granted free access to this
excellent software.
While the 8-Track edition of Bitwig is not limited in terms of functionality,
only a certain number of audio tracks can be used at the same time. As such, this entry-level
version of the programme offers the opportunity to understand and get to grips with all of the
available functions before upgrading to the full version (Bitwig Studio) at a later date. With
the included voucher, you are entitled to a reduced rate when upgrading Bitwig Studio.
To use Bitwig 8-Track, simply register at www.bitwig.com/8-track and follow the steps to
install Bitwig 8-Track on your computer.
A special function has been included in Bitwig for the Devine VersaKey Series, ensuring that
your model is included in the list of compatible MIDI devices. This way, when you connect
your device up to a computer running Bitwig, the device will immediately switch to the
correct operating mode for Bitwig.
If you don’t need to use Bitwig 8-Track, then you can give the voucher to someone else
since the software can also be used without a Devine MIDI keyboard.
