1.2Setup
If you intend to connect your Panda keyboard to a computer, please read sections 1.2 and 1.3 first. If you only intend to
use your Panda keyboard to control a sound module or synthesizer using the external MIDI OUT you should skip to
section 1.4.
1.2.1 Minimum System Requirements
If you are using your Panda with a computer, the following minimum system requirements apply:
Windows Mac OS
Pentium 3 800 MHz or higher Macintosh G3* 800/G4* 733 MHz or higher
(CPU requirement may be higher for laptops) (CPU requirement may be higher for laptops)
256 MB RAM OS X 10.3.9 with 256 MB RAM,
DirectX 9.0b or higher OS X 10.4.2 or greater with 512 MB RAM
Windows XP (SP2) or higher *G3/G4 accelerator cards are not supported.
(Windows 98, Me, NT or 2000 not supported)
WORLDE suggests you also check the minimum system requirements for your software, as they may be greater
than the above.
USB hubs are not supported. WORLDE suggests that you connect directly to one of your computer’s built in USB ports.
1.3Using The Panda With Your Software
When installed, the Panda appears as a simple MIDI device with one input port and one output port. You should select
the listed Panda input port as the MIDI input device in your software. Once this is set, your software should be able to
receive notes and controller data from the Panda.
If you have connected external MIDI gear like a drum machine or another keyboard to your Panda’s MIDI IN port, this
gear can be interfaced to the computer by selecting the listed Panda input port. This way, your Panda is acting as a MIDI
to USB interface.
The port names are defined as USB Audio Device when connecting to USB port.
It will appear as a single USB Composite Device in the Device Manager.
1.4 MIDI Connections
The MIDI Out port accepts a standard 5-pin DIN-type MIDI plug(available from most professional audio retailers).
The MIDI Out port can be used to connect the Panda to a hardware sequencer, an external synthesizer or sound module,
for example.

1.5 Power Supply
If you are using your Panda with a computer via its USB port, there is no need for an external power supply. Your Panda
will draw its power from the computer.
However, if you are intending to use your Panda without connecting to a computer’s USB port, then you will need to use
an external power supply. No power supply is included in the box, so please select one that meets the following
requirements:
<9V DC <250mA-300mA <Center positive
Section 2:Basic MIDI Control From Your Panda
Your Panda controller will not make any sound unless it is connected to a computer or other external MIDI gear. This is
because the Panda sends MIDI data when you play it and does not produce sound on its own. Instead, it is used to
control a virtual instrument on your computer or a MIDI sound module to generate sounds.
This is a good place to introduce you to the way we approach the differences between the Panda61 and 49 and the
Panda25. The appearance and functionality of the Panda61 and 49 are the same, it’s just the size of the keyboard that is
different, so when we give instructions for these models, these two are always grouped together. The Panda25 looks
different and a number of its functions are accessed in a different way, so for this model we will always give you a
separate set of instructions.

2.1.2 Panda25 Functions
Numeric Keypad:
Use the numeric keypad to enter values during programming. The LCD display will show the values as you enter
them.
2.2 The Keyboard
When you play the keyboard, MIDI note messages are sent. These messages are read by your computer software or
external MIDI gear and used to generate sound accordingly.
2.2.1 Velocity Curve
Every time you press a key, a MIDI note message is sent with a velocity value between 0 and the maximum; this value
specifies how hard you pressed the key. Since different people have different playing styles, your Panda offers 6 different
velocity curves as shown below. The default is the first one. You should experiment with the different velocity curves to
seek the curve that best suits your playing style.
