Overview

Thank you for purchasing the Keystation.  Keystation is an entry level
MIDI keyboard controller that will easily connect to any standard com-
puter MIDI interface or MIDI sound module.

The Keystation has no built-in sound making capabilities.  This is why it
is called a controller keyboard.  It is normally used with a standard MIDI
sound module or a computer equipped with a MIDI interface and/or
some kind of sound card.
