extremely damp, hot or dusty places.

2. Avoid placing heavy objects on the

instrument or exposing it to physical

shocks.

3. Do not use any chemical agents to clean

its surface such as benzene or thinners.

Power supply

This instrument can be powered with

batteries or with an DC adaptor (none of

below.

Batteries

Firstly, insert 6 C-size alkaline batteries

(SUM-2 or R-14) in the battery holder.

MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

is the universal standard allowing multiple

digital instruments, computers and other

related devices to communicate and

exchange playing data.

The MIDI OUT port sends MIDI data to an

external MIDI device. The instruments

communicate by sending MIDI messages

or data. The emitting instrument assigns

the data to one of the 16 MIDI channels and

then transmits them through MIDI cables.

The cable in itself is not divided into or made

up of 16 different wires but, like a television

set receiving numerous programs over

different channels from the same aerial, the

instrument’s task is to be set to the right MIDI

channel. If the Send and Receive channels of

the instruments connected to each other do

not match, the receiving instrument cannot

understand nor play the sender’s messages.

Connecting to a PC

1. Turn off both keyboard and PC.

2. Use a MIDI adaptor to link the keyboard to

the PC (one side features 5 pins, the other

15).

3. Switch on the keyboard and the PC. Set the

volume at its minimum level by using the

[VOLUME -] button.

4. To select the desired MIDI channel (01-16),

press the [MIDI] button repeatedly until the

desired channel appears on the display.

5. You can play the keyboard. You will hear

the music play on your PC loudspeakers.

Note:

• Your PC must be equipped with a

software must be installed.

• No information regarding styles,

pre-recorded songs, sustain and transpose

values is sent as MIDI data.

Connecting to an external device

Two MIDI devices must be connected to each

other with MIDI cables in order to be able

to communicate. To take a basic example: if

you want to record your performance on this

keyboard, the MIDI OUT connector of this

keyboard must be connected to the MIDI IN

connector of a sequencer.
