M-Audio MidAir 25/37 Quick Start Guide, introduces how to connect the device on Windows XP or Mac OS X, and recommends users to install M-Audio drivers
This document serves as a quick start guide for the M-Audio MidAir 25/37 wireless MIDI controller. It explains that the device is class-compliant with Windows XP and Mac OS X, meaning it can be used immediately upon connection without requiring drivers. However, installing official M-Audio drivers is recommended for specific use cases such as using multiple applications simultaneously or handling long SysEx commands.
The guide also details how to link the keyboard and receiver units wirelessly if they do not connect automatically out of the box. It further describes the operation modes: Standalone Mode (for use without a computer) and Host Mode (for use with a computer), explaining how audio software detects MIDI input ports in each scenario.
No drivers are required for basic use, but they are recommended if you want to use the controller with more than one application at the same time, use long SysEx commands, or simultaneously use other class-compliant USB devices with audio capabilities.
The Wireless Connection Status LED on each unit will flash and eventually turn off, and you must press the wireless connect buttons on both the receiver and the keyboard to establish a link.
The software detects two MIDI input ports: one for the wireless MIDI input from the keyboard and one for the wired 5-pin MIDI input for other devices.
