Features
Top Panel
Keyboard
Most of the white keys and black keys on the Keystation are labeled with names. When in the Advanced
menu, pressing any of the labeled keys will allow for special operations such as adjusting the MIDI channel,
transposing, and sending program change messages.
Octave Buttons
If you press the octave “+” button once, the LED above the octave “-” button will turn off, indicating the
keyboard’s octave is now shifted up. If you press the octave “+” key again, you will shift one more octave up,
and so on. It is possible to shift the keyboard up 3 octaves or down 3 octaves from 0 octave shift.
To shift the octave down, press the octave “-” button and notice that the LED above the octave “+” turns off. If
only the LED above the octave “-” key is lit, the octave is shifted down and, if only the LED above the octave
“+” key is lit, the octave is shifted up. The octave “+” and octave “-” LEDs will change color when moving up
or down more than one octave.
To return the octave shift to 0, press both the octave “+” and “-” keys together. Both LEDs will light, indicating
that the octave shift has returned to 0.
