Introduction

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO musical instrument. This digital piano provides you with the following features and functions.

620 Tones Include Rich Advanced Tones

A total of 400 Advanced Tones are programmed with DSP tones to make them richer and more powerful. Advanced tones like Stereo Piano and Tremolo Electric Piano enhance the Piano and Electric Piano tones to create a totally new sound.

50 Drawbar Organ Tones

In addition to the 620 standards tones, the digital piano also includes 50 realistic drawbar organ tones. Drawbar organ tones can be controlled using nine digital drawbars. You can also select percussion or key click, and even edit the parameters of preset tone and save up to 100 original tones in user tone memory.

Flash Memory

Built-in Flash memory lets you expand your selection of tones and rhythms by downloading data from the CASIO MUSIC SITE, or by the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the digital piano. You can also store up to 200 SMF format music files for playback.

PIANO SETTING Button

The press of a button optimizes the keyboard setup for piano play.

166 Preset Rhythms + 16 User Rhythms

A selection of 166 rhythms includes accompaniments for everything from rock to pops and jazz.

You can also transfer accompaniment data from your computer and store up to 16 of them as user rhythms in digital piano memory.

Auto Accompaniment

Simply play a chord and the corresponding rhythm, bass and chord parts play automatically. One-touch Preset instantly recalls the most suitable tone and tempo settings to match the rhythm you are using.

Big, Information-packed Display

A big built-in display shows chord names, tempo setting, keyboard information, staff notation of notes played, and more for full support of all your keyboard play. A built-in backlight keeps the display easy to read, even in total darkness.

Song Memory

Record up to six parts in memory, along with their tone, volume, pan position, and other parameters for later playback. Realistic ensemble play can also be created using the Auto Accompaniment function.

Synthesizer Mode

Edit built-in sounds to produce your own original creations. Up to 120 of your own sounds can be stored in memory for recall, just like the built-in tones.

General MIDI compatibility

The General MIDI tones of this digital piano let you connect to a personal computer to enjoy “desktop music” capabilities. This digital piano can be used as a desktop music input device or sound source, and it's just the thing for playback of commercially available pre-recorded General MIDI music software.

Powerful effects

A collection of powerful effects, such as DSP, reverb, chorus, and more, give you total control over the type of sound you want. You can even change the parameters of an effect to create your own, original effects. A 4-band equalizer is also included.

E-5

Introduction

USB port

A USB port provides quick and easy connection to a computer.*

* Note that you will need a commercially available USB cable (A-B type) to connect to a computer using the USB port.

Mixer

You can specify tone, volume, pan position, and other parameters for each built-in Auto Accompaniment part. You can also control the same parameters for each channel during MIDI input.

Registration Memory

Digital piano setups can be stored in memory for later recall and instant settings whenever you need them. Up to 32 setups (4 setups × 8 banks) can be stored in registration memory.

Data download from your computer (Internet Data Expansion System)

You can use your computer to download data from the CASIO MUSIC SITE.

SD Memory Card Slot

A built-in SD memory card slot helps to simplify transfer of data from a computer and lets you store volumes of data for later recall when you need it. You can also load a card with a standard MIDI file (SMF) and play it back on the digital piano.

Connections

IMPORTANT!

Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the

MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete.

Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with the external equipment for its proper connection procedures.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano’s PHONES jacks. This cuts off the built-in speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

[Left Side Panel]

PHONES jacks

Headphones

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP- 3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

[Back Panel]

PEDAL jacks

SP-3

Pedal functions

Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time. When your selected tone has the DSP 099 (Acoustic Resonance) effect applied, using this pedal causes note to reverberate just like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing weakens notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the digital piano, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.

Adjusting the Effect Applied when the Damper Pedal is Pressed Half Way (With optional SP-30 only)

You can specify to what extent the damper effect should be applied when you press the damper pedal half way. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.

*2: Memory area for tones created by you. See “Synthesizer Mode” on page E-43. User tone areas 700 through 799 initially contain the same data as advanced tones 000 through 099.

*3: Depends on source tone or user setting. See “Synthesizer Mode” on page E-43 for more information.

*4: Area for data transferred from a computer. See “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-79 for more information. For information about waveforms, see “Creating a User Tone” on page E-46.

*5: Depends on tone. This status can be checked by viewing the DSP button. See “About the DSP Button” on page E- 27 for more information.

*6: Memory area for tones created by you. See “To edit a drawbar organ tone” on page E-22. User drawbar organ tone areas initially contain two sets of the same data as drawbar organ tones types 000 through 049.

NOTE

You cannot select tone numbers not included in the above range (standard tones 620 through 699 and 820 through 899, and drawbar organ tones from 050 to 099).

When you use the [+] and [–] buttons to scroll through tone numbers, scrolling jumps across the unused numbers. Pressing [+] when 619 is selected, for example, jumps to 700.

To select a tone

1Find the tone you want to use in the tone list (the separate Appendix A) and note its tone number.

2 Press the TONE button.

3Use the number buttons to input the three digit tone number for the tone you want to select.

Example: To select “432 GM ACOUSTIC BASS”, input 4, 3 and then 2.

4 3 2 A c o u s B s G

NOTE

Always input all three digits for the tone number, including leading zeros (if any).

You can also increment the displayed tone number by pressing [+] and decrement it by pressing [–].

When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers

600 through 619), each keyboard key is assigned a

different percussion sound. See the separate Appendix B for details.

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The digital piano has 32-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or autoaccompaniment pattern is being played by the digital piano, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 10note polyphony.

Changing Tones and Configuring

DSP Effect Settings

This digital piano has only a single DSP sound source. Because of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple parts when layering or splitting tones (pages E-63, 64) can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all other parts.

DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies the tone’s DSP line parameter setting to all parts.

*The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied) for the 400 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 399, and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset tones from 400 to 599. For information about other tones, see “Tone Types” on page E-18.

Using the PITCH BEND Wheel

As its name suggests, the PITCH BEND wheel lets you “bend” the pitch of a sound. This makes it possible to add a touch of realism to saxophone and other tones.

To use the PITCH BEND wheel

1While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to rotate the PITCH BEND wheel up and down.

Releasing the PITCH BEND wheel returns the note to its original pitch.

NOTE

With saxophone and electrical guitar tones, the most realistic sounding effects can be produced if you play notes and operate the PITCH BEND wheel simultaneously.

See “Pitch Bend Range (Initial Default: 12)” on page E-71 for changing the bend range of the PITCH BEND wheel.

Never turn on digital piano power while the PITCH BEND wheel is rotated.

E-20

Using the Drawbar Organ Mode

Your digital piano has built-in “drawbar organ tones” that can be altered using nine digital drawbars whose operations are similar to the controls on a drawbar organ. You can also select percussion or key click. There is room in memory for storage of up to 100 user-created drawbar tone variations.

DSP effects are applied to the connection between the sound source and output. You can select distortion and modulation effects. You can create DSP effect setups and also transfer downloaded DSP data from your computer. The digital piano has memory that lets you store up to 100 DSP effect setups. See “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-79 and “Saving the Settings of DSP Parameters” on page E-27 for more information.

REVERB

Reverb simulates the acoustics of specific types of environments. You can choose from among 16 different reverb effects, including “Room” and “Hall”.

CHORUS

The chorus effect gives sound greater depth by causing it to vibrate. You can choose from among 16 different chorus effects, including “Chorus” and “Flanger”.

EQUALIZER

The equalizer is another type of effect that you can use to make adjustments in tone quality. Frequencies are divided among a number of bands, and raising and lowering the level of each frequency band alters the sound.

You can reproduce the optimal acoustics for the type of music you are playing (classics, for example) by selecting the applicable equalizer setting.

• This returns to the tone or rhythm selection screen.

REVERB Parameters

Reverb effects are associated with either a reverb type or delay type. Parameter settings depend upon the associated type.

Reverb Type (No. 0 to 5, 8 to 13)

Reverb Level (Range: 000 to 127)

Controls the reverb size. A larger number produces larger reverb.

Reverb Time (Range: 000 to 127)

Controls how long reverb continues. A larger number produces longer reverb.

ER Level (Initial Echo Sound) (Range: 000 to 127)

This parameter controls the initial reverb volume. The initial echo sound is the first sound reflected from the walls and ceiling when a sound is output by this digital piano. A larger value specifies a larger echo sound.

High Damp (Range: 000 to 127)

Adjusts the damping of high frequency reverberation (high sound). A smaller value damps high sounds, creating a dark reverb. A larger value does not damp high sounds, for a brighter reverb.

Delay Type (No. 6, 7, 14, 15)

Delay Level (Range: 000 to 127)

Specifies the size of the delay sound. A higher value produces a larger delay sound.

Delay Feedback (Range: 000 to 127)

Adjusts delay repeat. A higher value produces a greater number of repeats.

ER Level

Same as Reverb Type

High Damp

Same as Reverb Type

NOTE

Whether or not an effect is applied to the parts that are sounding also depends on Mixer Mode Reverb Send, Chorus Send, and DSP on/off settings. See “Mixer Function” on page E-39 for more information.

Selecting CHORUS

Perform the following steps to select CHORUS.

1Press the EFFECT button so the EFFECT indicator appears on the display.

2Press the [ ] CURSOR button twice.

This displays the chorus editing screen.

The chorus type setting screen (step 4) will appear automatically about fives seconds after you press the button.

3 Press the [ ] CURSOR button.

4Use the [+] and [–] buttons or the number buttons to scroll through the chorus types until the one you want is displayed, or use the number buttons to input the chorus number you want to select.

See the separate Appendix G for information about the chorus types that are available.

Here you could also change the parameters of the effect you selected, if you want. See “Changing the Settings of CHORUS Parameters” for more information.
