From the manual features page:
Your RadioShack MIDI Keyboard is a state-of-the-art keyboard with many exciting features. You can set the keyboard to sound like 100 different musical instruments or sound effects. To accompany your music, the keyboard has 100 rhythms, as well as auto accompaniments
and percussion sounds. Your keyboard also includes a MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) feature, which lets you connect it to other MIDI-equipped musical instruments or devices, even your personal computer. This versatile keyboard can provide hours of fun and is ideal for anyone who wants to make music, from the beginner to the experienced musician.
Note: The keyboard conforms to most, but not all, General MIDI specifications. Because of this, you might experience
some incompatibility when using the keyboard with another General MIDI
Your keyboard’s advanced features include:
Touch Response — the keyboard’s
volume varies in response to the force of
your touch, just like an acoustic piano or
organ, so you can add emotion to your
music.
Pitch Bender Wheel — lets you bend
notes by altering their pitch, creating realistic
effects for tones such as reed instruments
or guitar tones.
Large LCD Music Information Display
— shows you the notes and chords as
you play them, along with the current
tone, rhythm, and tempo. The display’s
built-in backlight makes it easy to read it
even in dim light.
16-Note Polyphonic Sound — lets you
play and hear up to 16 notes at the
same time so you can play or create almost
any type of music.
61 Full-Sized Keys — provide the feel
of a fine musical instrument.
Transpose Function — lets you instantly
change the key of the music,
even while you are playing.
Tune Control — lets you adjust the
pitch of your keyboard so you can play
in tune with other instruments.
Sustain Jack — lets you connect a
sustain pedal (not supplied) to the keyboard
so you can hold notes that you
play on your keyboard.
Headphones/Output Jack — lets you
connect headphones so you can play
without disturbing others, or an external
amplifier so you can play for a crowd.
100 Tones — you can set your keyboard
to sound like anything from a
harpsichord to a honky-tonk piano.
100 Prerecorded Tunes let you hear a sample of what you and the keyboard
can do. You can play the tunes either one at a time or consecutively, and you
can turn off the melody or accompani-ment portion so you can play along with the tunes.
100 Auto-Rhythms — give you a
steady beat for many styles of music,
from rhumba to slow rock.
MIDI In/Out Jacks — let you connect
the keyboard to another MIDI-equipped
device.
Tempo Control — lets you speed up or
slow down the tempo of any selected
music pattern.
Fill-In Rhythm — lets you insert a short
variation into any auto-rhythm.
Auto Accompaniment — lets you automatically
play a preset harmonic pattern
to match the selected auto-rhythm.
Chord Book — lets you easily see
which keys to press and which fingers to
use to form a chord, as well as a chord’s
name.

sound to help make your music
come alive.
