Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Keystation Pro 88, an 88-note, hammer-action, velocity-sensitive USB keyboard. The class-

compliant Keystation Pro 88 can easily integrate with PC and Mac computer music environments. It can be used play virtual

instruments, external MIDI hardware synthesizers, sound modules, drum machines and samplers. The Pro 88 offers true plug-and-

play functionality via class compliancy in Windows XP and Mac OS X. Simply plug in the USB cable to begin installation—no driver
