It selects the source of the receiver's MIDI output port. Scenario 1: MidAir as a Wireless, Host-Based Controller If you plan to use your MidAir system in a computerbased recording studio, this setup should best serve your needs. In this configuration, the keyboard operates wirelessly while the receiver communicates with the keyboard and provides an extra set of wired MIDI inputs and outputs to your computer. You can use these extra inputs and outputs to connect another MIDI device in your studio. The MidAir transmitter can be powered by batteries or the AC adapter. The wireless receiver draws its power from the USB bus and does not require any AC power. NOTE: In this configuration, your audio software will detect two MidAir MIDI input ports and one MIDI output.
