LED operation control
After power on the LED should light up. Otherwise the power supply is not working. The LED works as a
power control in the play mode. In this mode one can play normally on the keyboard. In the menu mode the
LED turns off.
Keyboard keys
In the play mode the 88 keys of the keyboard are used to play as usual. The MIDI note number range is 21
(A-1) to 108 (C-7). The MIDI channel can be adjusted (see below).
In the menu mode the 88 keys are used to select a menu, sub-menu or for data input.
Headphone (Jack Socket)
This is a ¼" jack socket to connect stereo headphones. We recommend using high quality headphones with
a minimum impendance of 100 Ohm. Headphones with a lower impedance may be used but the audio
quality may deteriorate (hum, noise, bad signal-to-noise ratio). There is no risk of damaging the SK2000 or
the headphones though.
Do not put on the headphones during power on. Extreme audio levels will damage your hearing !
Important: Turn this knob fully counterclockwise and then turn it slowly clockwise until the desired level is
reached. Extreme audio levels will damage your hearing !
Headphone Volume (Control)
This Control is used to adjust the overall level and affects both channels (stereo potentiometer).
Important: Turn this knob fully counterclockwise and then turn it slowly clockwise until the desired loudness
is reached. Extreme audio levels will damage your hearing !
