About The Manual
This instruction manual covers the operation of the Keystation 61es USB keyboard. Though this manual does not provide a detailed
explanation about how to set up your keyboard for use with third party music software, the majority of music software applications will
work seamlessly with the Keystation 61es keyboard. Please consult your software application’s manual for additional information.
Connecting Your Keyboard
You can power the keyboard either via a powered USB port or an optional external power supply. However, the Keystation 61es is a
very low power device and an external power supply should not be necessary. It is recommended that you connect the Keystation 61es
to an onboard USB port or to a powered USB hub.
