Playing the keyboard
| Notes are generated whenever you press one of the 13 notekeys. You can slide between notes by pressing a new notekey without releasing the old one. | |
| Notes can be accented by pressing the ACCENT key. When accent is on, the accent LED will be lit. | |
| You can shift up or down an octave by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. | |
Every time a notekey is pressed, a corresponding MIDI "Note On" signal is sent. Every time a notekey is released, the corresponding "Note Off" message is sent. Accented notes have the maximum MIDI velocity value. |

| The current MIDI address (1 through 15) is displayed on the strip of 16 LEDs. You can change the MIDI address by turning the bank knob. |
