As you have probably noticed in technical users manuals of all sorts, the
writing tends to be written by techies for techies to understand. While that is
all well and good, we feel that the primary users of this product will tend to
be musicians, and thus we have made every effort to write this manual with
musicians in mind. Much of the manual has been written by an actual, real-
life keyboard player – someone you will see quoted throughout the manual as
Michael. Of course, we needed a writer to actually clean that up a bit, and we
hope the result is a user's manual that you can easily use to get started,
quickly learn the technical features of InSpire-air series keyboard, and get on
to what you do best – creating and playing music.
Anywhere you see the quoted “Michael Says” you can find additional tips and
tricks that Michael learned when he was figuring out this keyboard. Use what
is helpful to you.

Features
Four versions of InSpire-air series keyboards
This manual is written to include the features of the InSpire 5air, Inspire 6air,
InSpire 8air, and InSpire 8PSair. All four keyboards will operate the same except
where we have noted differences or exclusions for a particular model. The
primary difference between the four versions of inspire-air series keyboard is
fairly obvious, they differ in the number of keys. The InSpire 8PSair has a
notably different feel than the Inspire 8air with “Hammer Action” style keys
that gives it more of the feel of a piano.

Front Panel Layout
Faders
These nine programmable faders slide up and down to adjust linear MIDI
parameters such as volume.
Control Buttons
Control, set, and activate the many features of InSpire-air series keyboard.
LCD Screen
“Communication Central' for everything that happens on your keyboard.
Jogwheel
The jogwheel has both a rotary function and a button function. Turning the
jogwheel allows you to scroll through and select the options you wish to
change. Pressing the jogwheel acts as an “enter” key for InSpire-air.
Plus/Minus Keys
These keys are a substitute for the rotary function of the jogwheel. To scroll
towards higher numbers, use the “+” key. To scroll lower, use the “-” key.
Knobs
Eight programmable knobs turn to adjust linear MIDI parameters such as
stereo pan.
Pads
Eight velocity-sensitive pads can be programmed to control any on/off or
touch-sensitive functions, such as MIDI Machine Controls and percussion
sounds.
Transpose/Octave Buttons
Raises or lowers the pitches played on your keyboard. (Note: these buttons are
included in the “Control Buttons” section on the InSpire 5air).
Joystick
Programmable joystick to easily control functions such as pitch bend and
modulation.
X/Y Touch Pad
Like the mouse keypad on a laptop computer, the X/Y Pad allows you to
manipulate any software function that allows visual/tactile user control and
is enabled by the manufacturer.

Control buttons will light up when active or
selected. Pressing them again cause them

InSpire-air series keyboard uses the same buttons C1-C10 as the numeric buttons
0-9. You can enter a value from 0 to 127 by simply pressing the individual numerals
to create the number you want. Press 1 for “One”, press 1 twice for “Eleven”, press
1 three times for “One Hundred and Eleven”.
Note: Control Buttons on InSpire 5air have a slightly different layout. Differences
are usually self-evident, but are also noted throughout this manual.
