| Important! |
|
| • |
Before
connecting your RadioShack keyboard to your computer, make
sure that the keyboard and computer, as well as all other
peripherals connected to them are turned off. |
| • |
The
location of the joystick port depends on the type of computer
you are using. Check the location of the port on your computer
before performing the following steps. For details, see the
documentation that comes with your computer and audio card. |
| • |
Never
disconnect the Sound Blaster MIDI cable adapter while the
Music Data Management Software for RadioShack Keyboard is
running. Doing so not only will cause the software to
malfunction, it can also corrupt data and cause malfunction of
your RadioShack Keyboard and/or computer. |
|
|
|
|
 |
 First,
confirm that your computer is equipped with a Sound Blaster or
compatible audio card with a joystick port (Dsub 15-pin) like
the one shown in Figure 1. |
|
 |
Connect
a MIDI cable adapter, such as RadioShack catalog # 970-1256,
(Figure 2) to the joystick port shown in Figure 1. |
|
|
|
 |
Plug
the MIDI connectors of the cable (Figure 4) into the
RadioShack keyboard's MIDI terminals (Figure 5). Connect the
cable's OUT connector to the keyboard's MIDI IN terminal, and
the IN connector to the MIDI OUT terminal.
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
computer (with SoundBlaster or compatible sound card
installed) and the version of Windows you are using for other
important information. |

Before
trying to use the connection, be sure to read the
applicable documentation that comes with your computer
and audio card, and your Windows documentation. |
|
| • |
If
your computer does not have a joystick port, you can
connect your RadioShack keyboard using a commercially
available USB MIDI interface.Note, however, that some
computers do not support use of a MIDI interface. Be
sure to check whether your computer supports use of a
MIDI interface before actually purchasing one. |
