OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Two Power Options — let you power the keyboard from
internal batteries (not supplied) or standard AC power
(with an optional adapter), so you can make music
almost anywhere (see “Connecting Power” on Page 2).
12-Note Polyphonic Sound — lets you play and
hear up to 12 notes at the same time, so you can
play or create almost any type of music.
100 Prerecorded Tunes — let you hear a sample of
what you and your keyboard can do. You can play
the tunes either one at a time or consecutively, and
you can turn off the melody or accompaniment
portion so you can play along with the tunes (see
“Playing the Prerecorded Tunes” on Page 5).
100 Tones — let you set your
100 Auto-Rhythms — provide a
steady beat for many styles of music,
from rhumba to rock (see “Using the
Preset Auto-Rhythms” on Page 7).

from a harpsichord to a honky-
tonk piano (see “Using the
Preset Tones” on Page 6).
Middle “C”
61 Full-Sized Keys — provide the feel of a fine musical instrument.
Large Music Information Display — shows you a staff with
the notes and chords as you play them, along with the
fingering, current tone, rhythm, volume, melody, and tempo.
The display also shows a metronome icon to indicate the beat.
This Owner’s Manual explains how to use this electronic keyboard. It does not teach music.
Your keyboard includes a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) feature, which lets you connect it to other MIDI-equipped musical
instruments or devices — even your personal computer. The keyboard conforms to most, but not all, General MIDI specifications.
Because of this, you might experience some incompatibility when using the keyboard with another General MIDI device. See “Using
MIDI” on Page 10.

The keyboard has 12-note (maximum)
polyphonic sound. This means that you can

3. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start play.
4. Adjust the tempo and volume as
desired.
•
Most tones on this keyboard have been
recorded and processed using a technique
called digital sampling. To ensure a high
level of tonal quality, samples are taken in
the low, mid, and high ranges and are then
combined to sound amazingly close to the
originals. You might notice very slight
differences in volume or sound quality for
some tones when you play them at different
positions on the keyboard. This is an
unavoidable result of multiple sampling and
is not a malfunction.
To stop consecutive playback, press STOP.

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.
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.
Tuning the Keyboard
•
You cannot tune the keyboard while a
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.
•
The number on the display is the number of
cents to which the keyboard is currently
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent
is the measurement representing the
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of
its default pitch.
•
•
You can use the number keypad to raise
the pitch by entering the cent change value.
Connecting your keyboard to another MIDI
device requires a MIDI cable (not supplied).
/#-+0)"6*'"/+&+"
The keyboard automatically resets the
tuning pitch to the default value of 00

or play the prerecorded tunes.

For detailed specifications of the MIDI
function, see the “MIDI Implementation
Chart” on Page 17.
To connect your keyboard to another MIDI-
equipped device, you must use a MIDI cable
(available at RadioShack). .
Making the MIDI Connections
You do not need to make both connections if
you are only either sending or receiving.
To send MIDI data from your keyboard, use
a MIDI cable to connect the keyboard’s MIDI
OUT terminal to the other device’s MIDI IN
terminal.

MIDI Data
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.

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.
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.

through the MIDI IN terminal.
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.
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).
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.
Here is the data that can be received with
this keyboard and the corresponding control
number.

Mode — The MIDI standard allows for four
separate modes of operation. The keyboard
sends and receives data in Mode 3. This

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

The keyboard lets you change two MIDI
parameters, Tone Map and Keyboard
Channel.
Tone Map —sets the range of program
change values received/recognized by this
keyboard.
If the keyboard receives a note number
outside its range, it automatically assigns
the note to a key within its key range.
1. Repeatedly press TRANSPOSE/TUNE/
MIDI until JedCWf3D appears.
The keyboard’s lowest note is two octaves
below middle C, and the highest note is
three octaves above middle C.
2. Within 5 seconds, press – or + to select
the setting you want.
D: Normal Tone Map. This setting allows
receipt of 0 to 99 program changes.
Each program change corresponds to
one of the prerecorded tones.
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.
=: General MIDI Tone Map. This setting
allows receipt of all 0 to 127 program
changes. Any data over 100 are
translated to the closest tone the
keyboard has. See “Note Table” on
Page 15 for details.
9n — This means that the Note ON
message is 9 hexadecimal for the channel
number n.
