1-1 DC Power - Batteries (not included)
This unit is powered by 6 “C” (R-14) size batteries. Weak batteries will result in poor performance. Insert batteries as follows:
1.Remove the battery compartment cover and take out the batteries.
2.Insert new batteries making sure that the polarity is correct.
3.It is advisable to replace all 6 batteries at the same time and never mix batteries. Use alkaline batteries for maximum performance.
1-2 AC Power
You can also use an AC adapter with the following specification: 9-12V DC output, 250-300mA, centre positive.
Note: Do not leave the adapter plugged in for long periods of time if the unit is not in use.

3.Setting the MIDI TRANSMIT Channel
There are 16 MIDI transmit channels available. Once you have set the unit’s MIDI channel, the unit sends all MIDI messages on this MIDI channel. Be sure to match the channel with the RECEIVE channel of any connected equipment.
3-1 Press the CHANNEL switch. The LED shows the present TRANSMIT channel
3-2 Press one (or two) of the numeric keys to change the channel. The LED changes to the pressed number. 3-3 You can also use +/- switches to increase or decrease the value.
Note: * if you do nothing after step 3-1 for about 5 seconds, the LED will return to show the present PROGRAM CHANGE number.
*The default CHANNEL is 1 when power is turned on.
4.Volume Control
Moving the MASTER VOLUME slider transmits MIDI VOLUME messages to connected equipment. This allows you to control the master volume of connected devices, e.g. synthesizer, modules.
5.PITCH BEND WHEEL
Moving the PITCH BEND WHEEL transmits MIDI PITCH BEND messages to any connected equipment. This allows you to bend the pitch of a sound up (or down) to add expression to your performance.
5-1 To bend the sound up: Move the WHEEL away from you. 5-2 To bend the sound down: Move the WHEEL towards you.
6.WHEEL ASSIGN
Use the WHEEL to transmit MIDI CONTROL CHANGES. You can select and assign 119 types of MIDI functions (1-31, 3395, 102-121, 128-132)
Number 1 -127 128 129 130 131 132

* When you assign 120 or 121 as the MIDI controller for the WHEEL, you should move the MODULATION Wheel to the mid-value then return it to the minimum value to send a relative MIDI message.
7.TRANSPOSE
This function allows you to shift the pitch of the unit in semitones. You can transpose the pitch by 24 half steps (12 up, 12 down).
7-1 |

7-2 |
Press the “+” or “-” switch to change the TRANSPOSE value. Each time you press + or -, the keyboard is transposed |
an additional half step.
* Pressing the + and - switches simultaneously resets the pitch to the default value.
Note: Turning the power off always resets the shifted pitch to the default value.
