OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

RadioShack and RadioShack.com are trademarks

used by RadioShack Corporation.

32-Note Polyphonic Sound — lets you play

and hear up to 32 notes at the same time, so you

can play or create almost any type of music.

Large Display — shows you the notes and

chords as you play them, along with the current

tone, rhythm, and tempo. The built-in backlight

makes it easy to read, even in dim light.

61 Full-Sized Keys with Touch Response — provide the feel of a fine musical instrument.

The keyboard’s volume varies in response to the force of your touch, just like an acoustic

piano, so you can add emotion to your music.

248 Tones — uses technology usually found only on

professional equipment to allow you to set your

keyboard to sound like anything from a harpsichord to a

honky-tonk piano. 100 of these tones have

corresponding advanced tones, created by

programming in digital signal processor (DSP) effects

and other settings. You can even create up to 32 of

your own tones with the custom tone synthesizer

feature (see “Using the Tone Synthesizer” on Page 13).

100 Auto-Rhythms — provide a steady beat for

many styles of music, from rhumba to rock (see

“Using the Preset Auto-Rhythms” on Page 9).

Data Expansion System — lets you download

additional tones, up to four sets of accompaniment

data, DSP settings, and registration from your PC

and store them in your keyboard’s memory (see

“Using the Data Download Service” on Page 21).

Auto Accompaniment — lets you automatically play a

preset harmonic pattern to match the selected auto-

rhythm (see “Using Auto Accompaniment” on Page 10).

Mixer Function — lets you make the

keyboard sound multiple tones for auto

accompaniment or memory playback, or to

play MIDI data received from another MIDI

device (see “Using the Mixer” on Page 12).

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

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 19. 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.

Installing Batteries

• 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.

• 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.

Using AC Power

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.

• 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.

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. Insert the

headphones’ plug into PHONES/OUTPUT on

the back of the keyboard. Connecting

headphones disconnects the keyboard’s

built-in speakers.

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.

Basic Operation

The keyboard automatically selects the tone

GRAND PIANO (No. 000) when you turn the

power on. Each time you turn it on after that, it

selects the last selected tone. To select a

different tone, see “Using the Preset Tones”.

Using the Preset Tones

• The keyboard has 32-note (maximum)

polyphonic sound. This means that you can

play up to 32 different notes at the same

time with most of the keyboard’s preset

tones. Some tones are only capable of 16-

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.

• Repeatedly press + or – to select the next

highest or lowest numbered tone.

• If you enter an incorrect first digit, press

TONE to clear your entry, then enter the

correct digit.

• When you select one of the drum sets (tone

numbers 228–237), each key plays a

different percussion sound. See “Drum

Assignment List” on Page 30. The drum set

sounds change when you change the

rhythm number, play back data stored in

memory, or receive MIDI program change

data.

• Tone numbers 238–247 are the user tone

area. See “Using the Tone Synthesizer” on

Page 13.

Parameters

You can turn effects on/off or change the effect

level for each keyboard channel separately.

See “Using the Mixer” on Page 12 for more

information.

Selecting a DSP Type

You must turn on the DSP lines of the required

parts using the mixer function. See “Using the

Mixer” on Page 12.

Changing DSP Parameters

• The effects can be turned on/off or have

their levels set separately for each

keyboard channel. See “Using the Mixer”

on Page 12.

• Playing a demo tune automatically changes

the effect to the one assigned to the tune.

You cannot change or cancel a demo tune

effect.

• Changing the effect setting while the

keyboard is playing causes a slight break in

the sound when the effect changes.

• The advanced tones automatically turn on

the DSP line for more effective tones. If you

assign an advanced tone to a keyboard part

(Channels 1 through 4), the DSP line turns

on automatically and the DSP selection

changes according to the advanced tone

settings.

• In the mixer mode, the DSP line on/off

setting for a part with an advanced tone is

on, while the setting for a part that does not

have an advanced tone is off. DSP effects

previously applied to these parts are

cancelled and the tone might sound

different. Use the mixer editing sequence to

turn DSP back on (see“Using the Mixer” on

chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9,

or madd9 chord.

• Although the chart shows only one possible

fingering position for each chord, it is

possible to play a chord using several

different positions. For example, the

following three positions produce the same

C chord.

• When you play an aug, 7J5, or dim7 chord,

the lowest note you play determines the

root of the chord. Be sure that your

fingering correctly defines the root you

want.

• See “Fingered Chord Chart” on Page 31 for

all the chords you can play on your

keyboard using standard fingering

accompaniment.

Full-Range Chords

• You cannot use inverted fingerings. The

lowest note is the root.

• You can play the same chord without

Using the Tone Synthesizer

• You cannot use tones 228–237 (drum set

tones) as base tones.

• The preset tone you use as the basis for a

user tone is not changed.

• Tone locations 238–247 initially contain the

tone number 000. The user tone you store

in any of those locations replaces it.

Creating and Storing a User Tone

• A new or revised user tone replaces the

existing user tone.

• Layer, split, auto accompaniment, demo

tune play, and MIDI functions are all

disabled while the keyboard is in the

Custom Tone Synthesizer mode.

• For some tones, setting the resonance too

high might cause distortion or noise. If you

encounter this, lower the resonance setting

• While you are setting the three DSP

parameters, an indicator appears next to

The keyboard lets you record up to two

separate songs (with up to about 3,500

notes) in memory for later playback. You

can use either of two methods to record a

song — real-time recording (you record as

you play) or step recording (you enter notes

and chords one-by-one).

You can record on each of the keyboard’s

six tracks separately. Besides notes, each

track can have its own tone number. Then,

when you play back the tracks together, it

sounds like an entire six-piece band. Also,

you can use different mixer settings for each

track.

Track 1 is the main track, and you can use it

to record auto accompaniment, as well as

keyboard play. Tracks 2 through 6 are

melody tracks, and you can use these for

recording a secondary melody that includes

keyboard play.

Because each track is independent of the

others, you only need to re-record a single

track if you make a mistake while recording

on it.

If the remaining memory is less than 100

notes, the measure and beat numbers flash.

When memory becomes full, recording

automatically stops (and auto-

accompaniment or rhythm stops playing, if

used).

Memory contents are saved as long as

power is supplied to the keyboard.

Unplugging the adapter without batteries or

with weak batteries erases the memory. To

prevent data loss, connect an adapter

before replacing the batteries.

Turning off the keyboard while recording

erases the contents of the track you were

recording.

You can transfer memory contents to

another MIDI device.

• If you make a mistake, see “Correcting

Mistakes”.

• When you record on a track that already

contains data, the keyboard automatically

locates the end of the previous recording —

measure, beat, or clock (1/48 of a beat) —

and adds your new entry to it.

• You can enter a 0 (a rest) in Step 5 of “Step

Recording”, but the rest is ignored when the

accompaniment plays.

• The rhythm number and INTRO/ENDING 1

or 2, SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT, and

VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or 2 operations are

stored on Track 1, along with the notes you

played. See “Recording Multiple Tracks” to

record on the other five tracks.

• During recording on Tracks 2 through 6, the

entire keyboard functions as a melody

keyboard, regardless of the current MODE

setting.

• The tone number is stored on the selected

track in addition to the notes you played.

• You can turn off a track during playback by

using the mixer function (see “Using the

Mixer” on Page 12).

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 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.

Connecting your keyboard to another MIDI

device requires a MIDI cable (not supplied).

For detailed specifications of the MIDI

function, see the “MIDI Implementation

Chart” on Page 41. For more information

about MIDI parameters, visit

www.radioshack.com

and download the

“MD-1121 MIDI Implementation.”

#$176/+&+

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”)

other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI IN receives (“listens to”) MIDIdata sent

by other MIDI instrument(s).

MIDI THRU lets you connect (“network”)

additional MIDI instruments, and sends

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 areceiver

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.

The “MIDI Implementation Chart” on

Page 41 shows specific details about how

your keyboard is compatible with the MIDI

standard. The following notes explain how

the keyboard works within the MIDI

standard.

Basic Channel — The MIDI standard

allows for the use of up to 16 channels to

exchange data. Like a TV broadcast, each

of these channels cancontain different data.

The keyboard can send and receive data on

all 16 of these channels.

Mode — The MIDI standard allows for four

separate modes of operation. The keyboard

sends and receives data in Mode 3. This

means that the data sent and received by

the keyboard can be polyphonic and can be

sent or received on only one channel at a

time.

Note Number — The MIDI standard allows

for note numbers from 0 through 127. This

number represents each possible note that a

device can play. The lowest note number (0)

is five octaves below middle C and the

highest note number (127) is three octaves

above middle C. The keyboard can send

and receive all 128 note numbers.

Velocity — The MIDI standard allows for

velocity numbers from 0 through 127.

Velocity is how fast a key is pressed (or if

the key is pressed at all) or how loud a note

sounds. A velocity of 0 means that the keyis

not pressed. The lowest velocity (1) is

pianissimo and the highest velocity (127) is

fortissimo. The keyboard can send and

receive all 128 velocity numbers.

Pitch Bender — The keyboard receives

(but cannot send) pitch bending signals.

Control Change — This feature sends data

on various controllers, each having its own

number. For the details of each parameter,

see “MIDI Data”.

Program Change — This feature changes

the preset sounds. Each sound number

corresponds to a program number between

0 and 127. See “MIDI Data”.

System Exclusive — This feature sends

special signals unique to the keyboard.

All Notes Off — This feature is a kind of

panic button: it stops the current sounds

from playing. Only the keyboard receives

this message.

±016'±

You do not need to make both connections if

you are only either sending or receiving.

%#76+10

• 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.
