Use the pitch/modulation joystick, slider, and buttons to control various aspects of your music. For pedals, you'll need to buy them separately and connect them to the appropriate inputs. When it comes to software, use the external editor for Mac OSX or Windows PC to customize the factory and user multis. Keep in mind that the pedals need to be handled carefully as they are sold separately. To maintain the keyboard, keep it clean and dust - free. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. And if you're not using it for a while, the auto - power off feature will save energy, but you can also turn it off manually if needed.
