* Pin Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are the output of the organ voice and
ORCHESTRAL TONES.
* The No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 pins are open collector output with a rated
voltage of 5–30 volts DC and a maximum rated current load of 50
mA.
* Pin no. 11 detects the connection. If the nominal input voltage is
outside the acceptable range (18–30 V DC), the connection will not
operate correctly.

the VK-88's [MASTER VOLUME] knob.

the ROTARY TONE CABINET jack, press the
ORCHESTRAL TONES harmonic bars all the way in to
set the volume of the Orchestral Tones to "0," or select a
