Computer
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).
