Your RadioShack MIDI Keyboard is a
state-of-the-art keyboard with many ex­citing features. You can set the key­board to sound like 100 different musical
instruments or sound effects. To accom­pany your music, the keyboard has 100
rhythms, as well as auto accompani­ments and percussion sounds.

Your keyboard also includes a MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
feature, which lets you connect it to ot h­er MIDI-equipped musical instruments
or devices, even your personal comput­er.

This versatile keyboard can provide
hours of fun and is ideal for anyone who
wants to make music, from the beginn er
to the experienced musician.

Note:

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. For more information, see “Using
MIDI” on Page 21.

Your keyboard’s features include:

Touch Response

volume varies in response to the force of
your touch, just like an acoustic piano or
organ, so you can add emotion to your
music.

Pitch Bender Wheel

Note:

To connect a MIDI device to your
keyboard, see “Making the MIDI Connec­tions” on Page 22.

CONNECTING POWER

You can power your key board in either
of these ways:

• internal batteries

• standard AC power using an
optional AC adapter

Notes

:

• Connecting an AC or DC adapter
automatically disconnects any inter­nal batteries.

• Always disconnect the AC or DC
adapter when you finish using the
keyboard.

Using Batteries

Your keyboard can use six D batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom­mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan­dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

Using AC Power

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.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies

adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
keyboard or the adapter.

• 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.

Follow these steps to connect an AC
adapter to the keyboard.

5. Plug the AC adapter’s other end into
a standard AC outlet.

CONNECTING
HEADPHONES

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. Your local Ra­dioShack store sells a wide selection of
headphones.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.

• 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.

CONNECTING AN
EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

To amplify your keyboard’s sound, you
can connect it to an optional external
amplifier using an audio cable with a
inch (6.4-mm) plug (not supplied).

To connect an external amplifier to your
keyboard, insert the cable’s plug into the

USING THE PRESET

Your keyboard can sound like 100 differ­ent musical instruments or sound ef­fects. The name and two-digit number
for each preset tone is listed on the 100
TONES list on the keyboard’s top panel.

Notes:

different notes at the same time with
most of the keyboard’s preset tones.
Some of the keyboard’s preset
tones, however, are capable of only
8-note polyphony.

• 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.

• Some sound effect tones, such as
PERCUSSION (No. 99), do not fol­low the musical scale when played,

but change effect as you play them
in different octaves on the keyboard.

USING A SUSTAIN PEDAL

For added flexibility and control as you

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 the manufac­turer.

Using MIDI, you can play music on your
keyboard and another instr ument 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.

ABOUT MIDI

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
along to other MIDI devices a copy of all
data it receives through its MIDI IN ter­minal.

Your keyboard has
terminals.

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.

Note:

Connecting your keyboard to an­other MIDI device requires a MIDI cabl e
(not supplied). See “Making the MIDI
Connections” on Page 22.

21Using MIDI

MAKING THE MIDI
CONNECTIONS

To connect your keyboard to another
MIDI-equipped device, you must use a
MIDI cable (available at your local Ra­dioShack store).

Notes:

• The keyboard’s prerecorded tunes

cannot be sent as MIDI data.

• For detailed specifications of the

MIDI function, see the “MID I Imple­mentation Chart” on Page 30.

Cautions:

• Always turn off power to your key­board and the other MIDI device
before you connect or disconnect
MIDI cables.

• As you make the cable connections,
be sure to align the MIDI cable pins
with the matching holes on your k e y­board’ s
nals. If you have trouble plugging in
the cable, do not force it! You mig ht
damage the plug or the instrument.

To send MIDI data from your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the key­board’s
device’s MIDI IN terminal.

To receive MIDI data on your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the key­board’s
vice’s MIDI OUT terminal.

MIDI DATA

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.

Note On/Off

pressed (Note On) or released (Note
Off). Also includes how loud a note is
played as a value from 0 to 127.

Notes:

• The pitch of a note de pends on the
tone that is being used, as shown in
the “Note Table” on Page 29.

• 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.

Program Change —

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 th e closest tone
that the keyboard has.

— The chart shows that Mode 3

is OMNI OFF, POLY. This means the
keyboard sends and receives polyphon­ic data on only one channel at a time.

Note Number

— This number repre­sents each key of the keyboard. The
lowest number (0) is five octaves below
middle C. Since the keyboard’s lowest
note is two octaves below middle C a nd
the highest is three octaves above mid­dle C, your keyboard can send note
numbers between 36 and 96 and re­ceive note numbers from 0 through 127.
The keyboard automatically assigns any
key outside its range to a key within its
key range.

Velocity

— This number shows how
fast the key was pressed, or how loud
the note should sound. Pianissimo (1) is
the lowest velocity, Fortissimo (127) is
the loudest. A zero (0) means the key is
released. Your keyboard can send vol­ume level 75 or 100, and receive all vol­ume levels from 0 through 127.

LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFOR­MANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, IN­CLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESUL TING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS
OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDEN­TAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limita­tion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack
sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, un­less otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and
labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase
price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the prop­erty of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of
warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the
expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse,
accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
