Using this M - Audio Hammer 88 keyboard is easy. First, connect it to your computer via USB since it doesn't have a separate power supply. Once connected, it should be recognized by your MIDI - compatible software. When using, be careful around the left side where there's tape covering some damage. To keep it in good shape, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or getting it wet. Also, store it in a dry and cool place when not in use. This will help ensure its longevity and consistent performance.
