  • A way to Lock the M-Audio Keystation 88ES?

So I have a M-Audio Keystation 88es...
 
But my cat thinks it's hers and sits on it all the time.
 
I don't know what she presses but she does everything from simple changes in octave to changing the default channel to the big one that I can't figure out... Transposing the keys so that an "A" isn't an "A" anymore. Unfortunately since there is no control screen other than 3 lights, I never know if something is wrong before I get started, and sometimes, especially if I'm working with some drums or particularly synthy sounds, I might not realize until it's too late that I'm completely out of the key I thought I was in.
 
I can of course reset the keyboard (although it requires I reboot which is a pain in the ass), but if I've already started a project, I'm all a mess at that point... So I'd REALLY much rather find a way to just lock everything so none of that stuff can even happen.
 
Is there a way as far as anyone knows?
 
Any help is appreciated haha.
 
Damn cat.

OT but I'm thinking about a Keystation 61.  Do you like the action?

To be honest I wouldn't be the best person to comment on the hardware because I'm not a traditional piano player really, but that being said, I like the action a lot, and coming from my old M-Audio Ozonic, it feels much nicer.

 You could always have him ask the cat.
