Keystation Default Settings
When you first turn the Keystation on make sure that the 9 volt DC
power adapter is plugged into the back of the Keystation and the AC
end plugged in to a power outlet. Next, slide the power switch on the
back of the Keystation to On. When you turn on your Keystation it will
always set itself to the following values:
• Transmit on MIDI Channel no. 1.
• Default Octave will be from C2 (Note #36) to C6 (Note #84)
• A Control Change (CC-00=0, CC-32=0) message will be transmit-
ted. This sets the Program Bank to Bank 0 for General MIDI.
• A Program Change #1 message will be transmitted.
Keystation Controls
The Keystation top controls, from left to right, function as follows:
"Reset Extern" Button:
Pressing this button resets the Keystation to its
default setting and sends out a message to return all external MIDI
instruments to their default setting as well.
"Octave Down" and "Octave Up" Buttons:
Pressing these buttons shifts
the key numbers that the Keystation transmits either down or up an
octave. If you have Keystation connected to an external MIDI tone mod-
ule play any key and listen to the pitch of the sound. If you now press
the Octave Down button and play the same key you will here it play the
same sound an octave lower. Pressing both the Octave Down and
Octave Up buttons simultaneously resets the keyboard octave range to
the default value. The default values are C2 (36) to C6 (84).
"Program - " and "P" Buttons:
When you first turn on the
Keystation it transmits a default program (patch) # 01 (which is Grand
Piano patch on the GM sound list). Pressing the "Program -" button
makes the Keystation transmit the last program number. Pressing the
"P" button makes the Keystation transmit the next program
number. So, these buttons can be used to cycle backwards and forwards
through the available programs (patches). You can also select any pro-
gram number with the Keystation by pressing the desired numbers and
then pressing the Enter button.
