Introduction

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

516 Tones Include Rich Advanced Tones

A total of 300 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 516 standards tones, the keyboard 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 from other sources. 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.

140 Preset Rhythms + 16 User Rhythms

A selection of 140 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 keyboard 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 keyboard let you connect to a personal computer to enjoy “desktop music” capabilities. This keyboard 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.

735A-E-007B		E-5
WK3100_e_01-09.p65	5	04.3.26, 0:10 PM

Introduction

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

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

Data download from your computer

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

SmartMediaTM Card Slot

A built-in SmartMedia 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 keyboard.

Built-in floppy disk drive (WK-3500 only)

Save original tones or songs you created with the Song Memory to disk for long-term storage. You can also load a disk with a standard MIDI file (SMF) and play it back on the keyboard.

Microphone Jack (WK-3100 only)

Connect a commercially available microphone* and you can sing as you play, or sing with accompaniment from Song Memory or SMF playback.

* If a microphone was included with your keyboard, use that microphone.

Sostenuto Pedal

•As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

•This difference between a sostenuto and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys. Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.

Soft Pedal

Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.

Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal

In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button.

Using the microphone jack (WK-3100 only)

Connecting a commercially available microphone* to the MIC IN jack makes it possible to sing as you play, or sing with accompaniment from Song Memory or SMF playback. When connecting a microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOLUME to a relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level you want after connecting.

*If a microphone was included with your keyboard, use that microphone. If your keyboard did not come with a microphone, use a commercially available microphone that satisfies the stipulated specifications.

1Set the MIC VOLUME knob setting so it is on the “MIN” side.

2 Turn on the microphone’s ON/OFF switch.

3Use the MIC VOLUME knob to adjust microphone volume to the level you want.

MIC IN jack

IMPORTANT!

•Be sure to use the microphone’s ON/OFF switch to turn off the microphone and to disconnect the microphone from the keyboard whenever you are not using it.

Recommended Microphone Type

• Dynamic microphone (standard plug)

IMPORTANT!

•Connection to the MIDI terminal of an external device can cause static in the microphone signal. Use of a Cannon type microphone with a metal-shielded body helps to prevent static.

•Be sure to disconnect the microphone from the keyboard whenever you are not using it.

Howling (Feedback Noise)

Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback noise).

•Covering the head of the microphone with your hand

•Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker

Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further away from the head, and move away from any nearby speaker.

Static Noise

Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you suspect may be causing the static.

NOTE

• Effects are not applied to microphone input.

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard 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 keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 10-note polyphony.

Basic Operations

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- 82 for changing the bend range of the PITCH BEND wheel.

•Never turn on keyboard power while the PITCH BEND wheel is rotated.

Using the MODULATION

Modulation applies vibrato, which modulates the pitch of a note. It works best with notes that are sustained (held) by keeping a keyboard key held down, especially when playing the melody with a violin or other similar tone.

You can modify the modulation effect using DSP parameter 0 through 7. For more information, see “DSP Parameters” on page E-33.

• WK-3500

To use the MODULATION Wheel

1While playing melody notes with your right hand, rotate the MODULATION wheel with your left hand to apply vibrato to the notes.

•The amount of vibrato applied depends on how far you rotate the MODULATION wheel upwards. Setting the wheel to its neutral position (rotated as far downwards as it can go) turns vibrato off.

• WK-3100/WK-3000

To use the MODULATION button

1While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to press the MODULATION button.

•Vibrato is applied as long as the MODULATION button is depressed.

NOTE

•Modulation can be used to add greater expression to sustained melody notes being played using a violin, synthetic reed, or other similar tone.

•Modulation affects different tones in different ways.
