Minimum Requirements
Standalone Operation
Standalone operation refers to using Venom without a computer. The included power supply is required to
power Venom. To hear the synth when playing the keyboard, connect the Venom output jacks to an amplifier,
mixer, or powered monitors. You can also connect headphones to the front-panel headphone jack. You can
connect a microphone or instrument to the audio input jacks. Along with the line inputs, these can all be
mixed on the keyboard and heard with the synth sounds using an amplifier or headphones.
USB Operation
When using Venom with your computer, use the included USB cable to connect Venom to your computer.
While the USB connection is necessary to pass audio and MIDI to and from your computer, this connection
does not provide power to your keyboard. Use the included power supply to power Venom.
Minimum System Requirements
Minimum system requirements for USB operation can be found on our website: www.m-audio.com.
Before Updating Your Mac or Windows System
Please check the M-Audio driver download page for the availability of an updated driver before you decide to
install operating system updates: http://www.m-audio.com/drivers
Before new M-Audio device drivers are released, they are tested for use with the operating system versions that
are available at that time. When updates for an operating system are released by Microsoft or Apple, all M-Au-
dio device drivers have to be tested and possibly updated to ensure proper operation.
M-Audio recommends refraining from installing operating system updates until a driver has been posted to
the M-Audio website.
