Quick Setup / Connection Diagram

Items not listed under the Box Contents are sold separately.

Important note for Mac OS X users: The first time you connect MPK225 to your computer,

you will see a Keyboard Setup Assistant message saying that your keyboard cannot be

identified. Do not click Continue. Instead, close the window by clicking the circle in the

upper-left corner. If you see another window asking you to select your type of keyboard, select

ANSI (United States and others) and click Done.

Note: If you do not want to use a computer in your setup (i.e., if you are using MPK225 to

control an external MIDI module), connect MPK225's power input to a power outlet using an

optional power adapter (6V DC, 1A, center-positive, sold separately).
