Note: Do not leave the adapter plugged in for long periods of time if the unit is not in use.
2.Preparation
You can connect the keyboard to any other MIDI device such as a sound module or drum machine as shown below. Note that the keyboard does not have MIDI in capability and so can not receive MIDI data.
If you are not connecting via USB, you will need to use an external power supply to connect to other MIDI devices. If you are using USB the keyboard will be powered from the USB port and the external power supply is not necessary. The keyboard can act in MIDI THRU mode receiving data from the computer and transmitting it to any other connected MIDI device.
Turn on the POWER switch. Turn all other equipment on.
Press the BANK MSB and TRANSPOSE simultaneously to select ‘MIDI out from USB’ (only necessary if using the USB port).
