Getting Started
Please note that when you press a key on the keyboard, you will not hear any sound. This is because pressing
a key causes the keyboard to send out MIDI data. MIDI data gives instructions on how a sound should play,
but in order to actually hear that sound you need to configure your music software to read the MIDI data being
sent from the Hammer 88 and play the sound back accordingly. This setup will more than likely entail going
into an Options or Device Setup menu in your music software application and selecting the appropriate device.
The Hammer 88 should appear under the name “Hammer 88” in the MIDI devices section of your music
software application. Please consult the manual that came with your software for the proper setup procedure.
