Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland SK-50. 
The SK-50 is a multi-timbral synthesizer offering a touch-sensitive 61-key keyboard,
and a sound generator that provides a full palette of high-quality sounds. Since it is
equipped with its own speakers, you can immediately enjoy playing whatever sound
strikes your fancy as soon as you turn on the power. 
In order to enjoy every feature this unit offers, and feel assured of continuing
satisfaction for years to come, please take the time to completely read through this
manual.  

The SK-50 is a multi-timbral synthesizer which incorporates sound sources compatible with the GM
System/GS Format, a amplifier and speakers — all in one comprehensive package. Thanks to its
COMPUTER connector, the SK-50 is ready to be played by computer after making one simple connection.
This makes it ideal for not only Desk Top Music creation, but for multi-media applications as well.  Before
connecting with a computer or other MIDI-equipped device, please refer to the separate “ENSEMBLE
Volume.
