Introduction

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

348 tones, including 100 “Advanced Tones”

A total of 238 standard tones including piano, organ, brass, and other presets provide you with the sounds you need, while memory for 10 user tones lets you store your own original creations. 100 of the preset tones are “Advanced Tones,” which are variations of standard tones created by programming in effects (DSP) and other settings.

100 Preset Rhythms + 4 User Rhythms

A selection of 100 rhythms includes accompaniments for everything from rock to pops and jazz.

You can also transfer accompaniment data from your computer and store up to four 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 Presets 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 builtin 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 10 of your own sounds can be stored in memory for recall just like the built-in tones.

Powerful effects

A collection of powerful effects, such as 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.

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 16 setups (4 setups x 4 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.

Memory Contents

In addition to the above settings, data stored in the Registration Mode and Song Memory Mode is also retained when keyboard power is turned off.

Electrical Power

The settings and memory data described above are retained as long as the keyboard is being supplied with electrical power. Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when loaded batteries are dead cuts off the keyboard’s electrical power supply. This causes all settings to be initialized to their factory defaults and clears all data stored in memory.

Power Requirements

Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not lost.

Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries.

Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh batteries are loaded in the keyboard.

Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before replacing batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.

Initializing the Keyboard

Use the procedure on page E-65 to initialize the keyboard, which clears all memory data and returns settings to their initial factory defaults.

Connecting Phones 1

Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard’s builtin speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone.

Audio Equipment 2

Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.

Musical Instrument Amplifier 3

Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

NOTE

Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost.

When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

Sustain Pedal

With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.

With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released.

Sostenuto Pedal

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

This difference between a sostenuto pedal 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.

TONE

ADVANCED TONE

Using an Advanced Tone

100 of the preset tones are “Advanced Tones,” which are variations of standard tones created by programming in effects (DSP) and other settings. For example, PIANO is modified into STEREO PIANO, ORGAN becomes ROTARY SPEAKER ORGAN, and so on.

To select an Advanced Tone

1. Press the ADVANCED TONE button.

This causes “AD” to appear on the display, and causes the currently selected tone to change to its Advanced Tone version.

Lit

“AD TONE” stands for “ADVANCED TONE.”

2.Press the TONE button.

This causes “AD” to disappear from the display, and returns to the tone to its standard preset.

NOTE

Preset tone numbers 000 to 099 have Advanced Tone versions.

Anytime “AD” is on the display indicating that an Advanced Tone is selected, you can use [+] and [–] to scroll the tone number on the display.

If any tone number outside the range of 000 to 099 is selected when you press the ADVANCED TONE button, the tone automatically changes to the Advanced Tone version of tone number 00.

Only one of the channels (1 to 16) can have an Advanced Tone assigned to it at one time. Assigning an Advanced Tone to another channel causes the currently assigned channel to change automatically to its standard (non-Advanced) version.

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 16-note polyphony.

Digital Sampling

A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.

REVERB and CHORUS Parameters

The following describes the parameters for each effect.

REVERB

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 keyboard. 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

CHORUS

Chorus Level (Range: 000 to 127)

Specifies the size of the chorus sound.

Chorus Rate (Range: 000 to 127)

Specifies the undulation speed of the chorus sound. A higher value produces faster undulation.

Chorus Depth (Range: 000 to 127)

Specifies the undulation depth of the chorus sound. A higher value produces deeper undulation.

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-35 for more information.

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-35 for more information.

Playing a demo tune (page E-15) automatically changes the effect to the one that is assigned to the tune. You cannot change or cancel a demo tune effect.

Changing the effect setting while sound is being output by the keyboard causes a slight break in the sound when the effect changes.

A number of tones, called “Advanced tones,” automatically turn on the DSP line for more effective tones. If you assign an Advanced tone to a keyboard part (Channels 1 through 4), the DSP line turns on automatically and the DSP selection changes in accordance with the settings of the Advanced tone. Also, the Mixer Mode DSP line on/off setting for the keyboard part to which the Advanced tone is assigned is turned on.*

*The Mixer DSP line setting is automatically turned off for each part that does not have an Advanced Tone assigned. Because of this, DSP effects previously applied to these parts are cancelled, which can make their tone sound different. In this case, display the Mixer screen and turn DSP back on.

Saving the Settings of DSP Parameters

You can save up to 10 modified DSPs in the user area for later recall when you need them.

1. After making the DSP parameter settings you want, press the [ ] (ENTER) button.
