Your RadioShack MIDI Keyboard is a state- of-the-art keyboard with many exciting fea- tures. You can set the keyboard to sound like 50 different musical instruments. To accom- pany your music, the keyboard has 30 rhythms, as well as auto accompaniments and percussion sounds.

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

Music Information Display — shows you the notes and chords as you play them, along with the current tone, rhythm, and tem- po.

Sustain Function — lets you extend the length of a played note, providing added flex- ibility as you make music.

Recording/Playback — lets you record your own tunes and play them back at any time.

Metronome — the keyboard sounds the beat, making it easy to keep time with the music.

Tempo Controls — let you speed up or slow down the tempo of any selected music pattern.

Note: This Owner’s Manual explains how to use this electronic keyboard. It does not teach music.
