1.3 Installation
O62 does not need other driver to work with a computer, only needs
the USBAudio Driver built in the system.
The first time you connect O62 to your computer, it will automatically
install the general USB-Audio Driver. After installation, the system
will tell you the "new hardware" is ready to use.
1.3.1 Play with your Application Software
Generally, in PC or Mac, most MIDI software will have a MIDI port
configuration or settings, sometimes it called "MIDI Devices" or
"MIDI Setup". You can choose and enable your MIDI input and
output devices in it.
If the O62 driver is properly installed, and there is not other MIDI
device connected, the MIDI In port of O62 In-1 (or "Port 1"on the
Mac) will be selected as the first midi input, while the MIDI Out port of
O62 Out-1 (or Port 1) will be selected as the first midi output.
If the MIDI software runs, and the MIDI-In and Out port in O62 are
selected, the MIDI message will be received when playing the O62
keyboard. Also, the soft can send the midi message out to other
device through the O62 "USB"MIDI OUT. You can connect this USB
MIDI OUT port with the other sound module or virtual instrument.
1.4 MIDI Connection
MIDI connector is a standard 5-pin DIN connector which is used to

connect the O62 to sound module or virtual instrument interface"
with a MIDI cable.
If you need to transmit MIDI data from your keyboard to other
professional MIDI instruments, please purchase a standard MIDI
cable and use it to connect the Keyboard or USB MIDI OUT jack in
O62 rear panel labeled "Keyboard "or "USB "to the MIDI IN jack of
the other instrument.
1.5 Power supply
Connect an USB cable from your computer to the O62. The unit will
be powered by the computer USB.
Chapter 2：The basic MIDI Controllers
Because O62 does not contain built-in soundcard, play the keyboard
will only send MIDI data out including the midi message. A virtual
instrument can change it into a track of your DAW software and
creates the sound based on the MIDI message received from O62.
For more details on using virtual instruments, please refer to the
documentation in your DAW software.

Program message (commonly referred to program changing) is used
to select different instrument sounds in a MIDI device. Program

accessed by sending program number 0 to 127.
Some MIDI devices have more than 128 instruments. In this case,
the instruments will be separated into groups by 128, called bank.

Actually the Bank Select message is the MIDI Controller messages,
just like Volume, Pan, Sustain Pedal, Wind, and other controllers.
Specifically, the controller number for the "Most Significant Byte" (i.e.,
MSB) of Bank Select is controller "0" The controller number for
"Least Significant Byte" (i.e., LSB) of Bank Select is controller "32".
The data of these messages is the bank number you want to select.
(Sometimes the MSB Bank Select is referred to the rough
adjustment, and the LSB Bank Select is referred to the subtle
adjustment).
2.2.5 Transpose
The "Octave UP&DOWN" Buttons can be used to transpose your
keyboard. Some players want to play in a particular key like C or F,
for example. Transpose lets you change the pitch you are controlling
