ˆ Features
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.

100 Tones — you can set your keyboard to sound like anything from a
harpsichord to a honky-tonk piano.
100 Auto-Rhythms — give you a
steady beat for many styles of music,
from rhumba to slow rock.

Your keyboard also 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.

100 Prerecorded Tunes — let you hear
a sample of what you and the 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.

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

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.

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.

MIDI In/Out Jacks — let you connect
the keyboard to another MIDI-equipped
device.

Your keyboard’s features include:

Headphones/Output Jack — lets you
connect headphones so you can play
without disturbing others, or an external
amplifier so you can play for a crowd.

61 Full-Sized Keys — provide the feel
of a fine musical instrument.
LCD 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.

4

Sustain Jack — lets you connect a
sustain pedal (not supplied) to the keyboard so you can sustain your keyboard’s sound.

Tune Control — lets you adjust the
pitch of your keyboard so you can play
in tune with other instruments.
Transpose Function — lets you instantly change the key of the music,
even while you are playing.

Features

42-4042.fm Page 5 Friday, April 28, 2000 11:18 AM

Tempo Control — lets you speed up or
slow down the tempo of any selected
music pattern.
Chord Book — lets you easily see
which keys to press and which fingers to
use to form a chord, as well as a chord’s
name.
Three Power Options — let you power
the keyboard from internal batteries (not
supplied), standard AC power (with an
optional adapter), or your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket (with an optional
adapter) so you can make music almost
anywhere.
Notes:
• You can use an optional keyboard
stand (available at your local
RadioShack store) to mount the
keyboard.
• This Owner’s Manual explains how
to use this electronic keyboard. It
does not teach music.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
provide reasonable protection against
radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your equipment might
cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective measures:
• reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna
• increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV
• use outlets on different electrical circuits for the keyboard and the radio
or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
You must use shielded interface cables
with this equipment.

ˆ Preparation
Note: To connect a MIDI device to your
keyboard, see “Making the MIDI Connections” on Page 21.

CONNECTING POWER
You can power your keyboard in any of
these ways:
• internal batteries
• standard AC power
optional AC adapter

using

an

• a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket
using an optional DC 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.

Preparation

Using Batteries

Using AC Power

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

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

Cautions:
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.

!

• 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.
1. Slide POWER/MODE to OFF.
2. While pressing the tab on the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the keyboard, pull up the
cover to remove it.
3. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked below the
compartment.

• 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.
1. Slide POWER/MODE to OFF.
2. Set the DC adapter’s voltage switch
to 9V.

4. Replace the cover.
When the keyboard stops operating
properly, replace the batteries.

3. Insert the Adaptaplug adapter into
the adapter’s cord so it reads – TIP.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.

4. Connect the AC adapter’s barrel
plug to the DC 9V jack on the back of
the keyboard.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the
keyboard with batteries for a week or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.

Preparation

42-4042.fm Page 7 Friday, April 28, 2000 11:18 AM

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

5. Plug the DC adapter’s other end into
your
vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter
socket.

Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the keyboard from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V, 800mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug adapter (neither supplied). Both are
available at your local RadioShack
store.
Cautions:
You must use a 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.

!

• Always connect the DC adapter to
the keyboard before you connect it
to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the
power source before you disconnect
it from the keyboard.
Follow these steps to connect a DC
adapter to the keyboard.
1. Slide POWER/MODE to OFF.
2. Plug the DC adapter’s barrel plug
into the cable so it reads – TIP.
3. Set the DC adapter’s voltage switch
to 9 volts.

CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
To listen to your keyboard without disturbing others, you can connect an optional pair of stereo headphones with a
1 4
/ -inch (6.4-mm) plug. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of
headphones.
Insert the headphones’ plug into the
PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of
the keyboard.
Note: Connecting headphones disconnects the keyboard’s built-in speakers.

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.

4. Connect the DC adapter’s barrel
plug to the DC 9V jack on the back of
the keyboard.
Preparation

7

CONNECTING AN
EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

Your local RadioShack store sells a full
line of amplifiers, speakers, and connection cables.

To amplify your keyboard’s sound, you
can connect it to an optional external
amplifier using an audio cable with a 1/4inch (6.4-mm) plug (not supplied).

USING THE SHEET MUSICl
STA12(as)NIER

To connect an external amplifier to your
keyboard, insert the cable’s plug into the
PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of
the keyboard, and connect the cable’s
other end to the amplifier’s input jack(s)
(such as AUX IN or TAPE IN).

• 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.

Selecting/Playing a Preset
Tone

CHANGING KEYS
The keyboard automatically selects the
key of middle C each time you turn it on.
For added flexibility as you play, the
keyboard lets you change (transpose)
the musical key in which it plays.
Note: You cannot change the key while
a prerecorded tune is selected or playing.
1. Repeatedly press TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI until Trans and the current key setting appear.
Note: The number on the display is
the number of “semitones” to which
the keyboard is set, compared to its

ˆ Using MIDI
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 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.

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 cable
(not supplied). See “Making the MIDI
Connections.”

MAKING THE MIDI
CONNECTIONS

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.

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

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 MIDI OUT and MIDI IN
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,

• 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 keyboard’s MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals. If you have trouble plugging in
the cable, do not force it! You might
damage the plug or the instrument.
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.

Using MIDI

21

42-4042.fm Page 22 Friday, April 28, 2000 11:18 AM

To receive MIDI data on your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the keyboard’s MIDI IN terminal to the other device’s MIDI OUT terminal.
Note: You do not need to make both
connections if you are only either sending or receiving.

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.
Notes:
• The keyboard’s prerecorded tunes
cannot be sent as MIDI data.
• For detailed specifications of the
MIDI function, see the “MIDI Implementation Chart” on Page 31.

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 MIDI IN terminal.
Control Change — adds effects such
as vibrato and volume changes applied
during keyboard play. The message includes a control number (the effect type)
and a control value (the on/off and depth
of the effect).
Here is the data that can be received
with this keyboard and the corresponding control number.

1. Repeatedly press TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI until Keybd Ch appears.

Basic Channel — MIDI uses up to 16
channels to exchange data. As in a TV
broadcast, different channels send different data. The keyboard can send data
in any of 16 channels, but receives data
only on channels 1 through 4 or 10.

2. Within 5 seconds, press – or + to
select the setting you want.

N: Normal Tone Map. This setting
allows receipt of 0 to 99 program
changes. Each program change
corresponds to one of the keyboard’s prerecorded tones.
G: 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 29 for details.
Select G when you listen to General
MIDI data from an external device.

NOTES ABOUT THE MIDI
IMPLEMENTATION
CHART
The “MIDI Implementation Chart” on
Page 31 illustrates the details of the keyboard’s MIDI function. An O in the chart

Mode — 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 and
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.
9n — This means that the Note On
message is 9 hexadecimal, and n is the
channel number.
Pitch Bender — The keyboard receives
(but cannot send) pitch bending signals.
