About the M50 and USB-MIDI driver ports
KEYBOARD port
Applications on your computer use this port to receive
MIDI messages from the M50 (data from the keyboard
and controllers).
SOUND port
Applications on your computer use this port to send
MIDI messages to the M50’s internal sound generator,
making it produce sound.
Connecting a computer
USB connection and setup
Note:
The USB connector of the M50 is only able to
transmit and receive MIDI data.
Before you connect the M50 to your computer via
USB, you must install the KORG USB-MIDI driver
in your computer. If you’re using Windows, you’ll
need to install the driver for each USB port you
use. If you connect the M50 to a USB port other
than the one you used when installing the KORG
USB-MIDI driver, you’ll need to install the driver
again. For details, please see “Installing the driver
and the editor software in Windows” on page 2.
1. Using a USB cable, connect the USB connector of
the M50 to the USB connector of your computer.
2. Make the necessary settings in the M50’s Global
mode.
For details, please see “Global mode settings on the
M50” on page 5.
3. Make the necessary settings on your computer.
For details, please see “M50 Editor/Plug-In Editor
Manual” (PDF).
