Other older synthe4 sizers can only receive on a few channels and play only a few voices at a time. And, some of the very earliest synths can only receive on one channel. If you are using an older synthesizer you will have to look at the manual to determine just what it can do. If you are interested in learning more about MIDI there are many fine books available. 5 Connecting the Keystation Computer MIDI Sound Module MIDI Out MIDI In MIDI In SUSTAIN l KEYSTATIONTM MIDI KEYBOARD MIDI OUT Foot Pedal KEYSTATIONTM Connecting Keystation to a Computer Using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable connect one end to the MIDI Out jack of the Keystation and the other end to the MIDI In Jack of your computer's MIDI interface (See figure 1).

Connecting Keystation to a MIDI Tone Module Using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable connect one end to the MIDI Out jack of the Keystation and the other end to the MIDI In jack of your tone module. If you will be using more than one tone module, you should consult your Tone Module manual to get additional information about how to hookup more than one MIDI module. If you are using an older MIDI tone module that responds to only one MIDI channel you must make sure that the Keystation MIDI transmit channel (see below) matches the MIDI receive channel set on your module. 6 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.
