This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

???Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

???Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

???Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

You can power the keyboard using a 9V, 800 mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug??? adapter (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store or online at www.radioshack.com. Connecting an AC adapter automatically disconnects any internal batteries. .

Using AC Power

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and

! delivers at least 800 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit the keyboard's DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the keyboard or the adapter.

To listen to your keyboard without disturbing others, you can connect an optional pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) plug. RadioShack sells a wide selection of headphones. Insert the headphones??? plug into PHONES/OUTPUT on the back of the keyboard. Connecting headphones disconnects the keyboard???s built-in speakers.

???Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

???Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

???Always connect the AC adapter to the keyboard before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the keyboard.

MIDI Data

???The keyboard???s prerecorded tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.

???For detailed specifications of the MIDI function, see the ???MIDI Implementation

."%#76+10".

Your keyboard includes a feature called MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). MIDI is the universal standard for sending and receiving performance data between all types of electronic musical instruments, regardless of manufacturer. Using MIDI, you can play music on your keyboard and another instrument at the same time while pressing the keys on only one, record your music to a sequencer, acquire a wider selection of preset tones from a sound module, and much more.

Connecting your keyboard to another MIDI device requires a MIDI cable (not supplied).

For detailed specifications of the MIDI function, see the ???MIDI Implementation Chart??? on Page 17.

#$176"/+&+

Every MIDI-equipped instrument has MIDI OUT and IN terminals, and some also have a MIDI THRU terminal. Each of these terminals serves a different purpose.

MIDI OUT sends MIDI data to (???talks to???) the other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI IN receives (???listens to???) MIDI data sent by the other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI THRU lets you connect (???network???) additional MIDI instruments, and sends other MIDI devices a copy of all data it receives through its MIDI IN terminal.

The cable that connects MIDI devices does not actually carry sound between them, like a speaker wire carries sound from a receiver to a speaker. Instead, MIDI-equipped devices communicate with each other using digital codes (instructions). One MIDI device sends digital instructions representing exactly what is being played on it. The other MIDI device receives and translates those instructions, then produces (or records) the sound exactly as it was played on the first device.

Your keyboard can send and receive several different types of MIDI data. The keyboard???s tones, rhythms, and other types of MIDI data are sent automatically as you play. ??

Your keyboard has MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals.

Note On/Off ??? specifies which keys are pressed (Note On) or released (Note Off). Also includes how loud a note is played as a value from 0 to 127. ??

Program Change ??? specifies the tone. The keyboard sends program change data in the range of 0 to 99, corresponding to tone numbers. It receives data within the same range if GM tone mapping is set to N, or in the range of 0 to 127 if GM tone mapping is set to G. In the latter case, tones in the range of 100 to 127 are translated to the closest tone that the keyboard has.

Pitch Bend ??? supplies Pitch Bend information. The keyboard???s pitch changes as it receives a Pitch Bend message through the terminal.

Control Change ??? adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes during keyboard play. The message includes a control number (the effect type) and a control value (the on/off and depth of the effect).

The ???MIDI Implementation Chart??? on Page 17 shows specific details about how your keyboard is compatible with the MIDI standard. The following notes explain how the keyboard works within the MIDI standard.

Basic Channel ??? The MIDI standard allows for the use of up to 16 channels to exchange data. Like a TV broadcast, each of these channels can contain different data. The keyboard can send data on all 16 of these channels and can receive data on channels 1 through 4 and channel 10.

Mode ??? The MIDI standard allows for four separate modes of operation. The keyboard sends and receives data in Mode 3. This means that the data sent and received by the keyboard can be polyphonic and can be sent or received on only one channel at a time.

Note Number ??? The MIDI standard allows for note numbers from 0 through 127. This number represents each possible note that a device can play. The lowest note number

(0) is five octaves below middle C and the highest note number (127) is three octaves above middle C. The keyboard can receive all 128 note numbers and can send note numbers between 36 and 96.

If the keyboard receives a note number outside its range, it automatically assigns the note to a key within its key range.

The keyboard???s lowest note is two octaves below middle C, and the highest note is three octaves above middle C.

Velocity ??? The MIDI standard allows for velocity numbers from 0 through 127. Velocity is how fast a key is pressed (or if the key is pressed at all) or how loud a note sounds. A velocity of 0 means that the key is not pressed. The lowest velocity (1) is pianissimo and the highest velocity (127) is fortissimo. The keyboard can receive all 128 velocity numbers and can send velocity numbers 75 or 100.

9n ??? This means that the Note ON message is 9 hexadecimal for the channel number n.

???The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as shown in the ???Note Table??? on Page 15.

???If the keyboard receives a ???request??? to play notes outside of its range (higher or lower), it automatically selects the same note in the nearest octave.

Troubleshooting

Keep the keyboard dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the keyboard only in normal temperature environments. Handle the keyboard carefully; do not drop it. Keep the keyboard away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

If your keyboard is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Modifying or tampering with the keyboard???s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
