Table Of Contents; Outline - Roland MKB-200 Owner's Manual

@ The MKB-200 is a keyboard controller which
can drive MIDI equipped Sound Modules and
instruments. It transmits various MIDI messages
such as Dynamics and After Toutch as weil as
Note On/Off and Program Change. Some MIDI
instruments can receive all the messages sent
from the MKB-200, but some cannot, depending
on the functions featured in each instrument.
For the details, refer to the separate volume
"MIDI" and the owner's manual of the relevant
MIDI device.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
© Be sure the line voltage in your country meets
the one shown on the name plate on the rear
panel of the MKB.
®@ Do not use the same socket that is used for any
noise generating device, such as a motor, or
variable lighting system.
© This unit might not work properly if turned on
immediately after turned off, or if the power
cable is plugged in with the unit turned on. If
this happens, simply turn the unit off, and turn
it on again a few seconds later.
® This unit might get hot while operating, but
there is nothing to worry about.
@ When setting up the MKB, be sure that all the
units are turned off. Then switch the connected
units on and finally the MKB.

lamp may cause noise interference. If so,
change the angle or position of the MKB.
@ Avoid using the MKB in extreme heat or
humidity or where it may be affected by dust.
Cleaning
@ Use a soft cloth and clean only with a mild
detergent.
