6. Advanced Button: The Advanced button is used to access all the advanced functions of
the keyboard.
When the Advanced button is pressed, the keyboard goes into "Edit Mode." In Edit
Mode, the keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions and entering data.
The LED above the Advanced button indicates whether or not Edit Mode is engaged. In
Edit Mode, the black keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions, while the
white keys are used for data entry, channel selection, and DAW selection.
Your keyboard will exit out of Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the
Advanced button, CANCEL or ENTER key is pressed (the LED above the Advanced
button will turn off). The keyboard can then be used to play notes again.
Note: Refer to the Advanced section for more information.
7. Directional Buttons: These buttons can use the MIDI, Mackie Control
to control certain functions in software that support them. Please see the Directional
Buttons and Transport Buttons section of the Advanced Functions chapter for more
information.
8. Transport Buttons: These buttons can use the MIDI, Mackie Control or HUI
to control certain functions in software that support them. Please see the Directional
Buttons and Transport Buttons section of the Advanced Functions chapter for more
information.

1. Kensington® Lock: Use this port to
attach a security cable to the unit.
2. DC Power Adapter Input: If you do not
wish to power Keystation through the
USB connection and are using the MIDI
connector to trigger an external sound
module, connect a DC 9 V, 500 mA
power adapter (sold separately) here.
3. USB Port: The USB port delivers power to the keyboard and transmits MIDI data when
connected to a computer to trigger a software synth or MIDI sequencer.
4. MIDI Out: Use a five-pin MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect this jack to the MIDI IN
of an external sound module or to the MIDI In of a synthesizer.
5. Sustain Pedal Input: This socket accepts a momentary-contact foot pedal (sold
separately). When pressed, this pedal will sustain the sound you are playing without
having to keep your fingers pressed down on the keys.
Note: for realistic pedal action, check out the SP-2. The SP-2 is M-Audio's switchable
sustain pedal with the ability to connect to the sustain pedal input on Keystation 88 MK3.
Note: the polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup. When
Keystation 88 MK3 is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the "up" (off)
position. It is important that the sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the
pedal will reverse its operation, and notes will sustain when the pedal is not pressed.
Note: a foot pedal can be used for sustaining the sound that you are playing without
having to keep your hands on the keyboard (just like the sustain pedal on a piano).
You can plug a foot pedal of any polarity into the foot pedal input on your M-Audio
keyboard. The keyboard will automatically detect the correct polarity when powering up.
If you want to reverse the polarity, simply depress the pedal when you switch on your
keyboard.
