• Turning off the Digital Keyboard causes most current settings to be cleared. The Digital Keyboard will revert to initial settings the next time you turn it on.

• This is true for all settings except for sample sound protection. Once you turn it on it remains on until you turn it off again.

Auto Power Off (Using Batteries)

While you are using batteries for power, power will turn off automatically if you do not perform any operation for about six minutes. Auto Power Off is disabled while the AC adaptor is being used for power.

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Changing Keyboard Response to Touch Pressure (Touch Response)

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however, the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly. Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical instrument lets you control note volume without striving to apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano

Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Pressing fast produces louder notes.

Changing Touch Response Sensitivity

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of played notes change in accordance with playing speed. Select the setting that best matches your playing style.

Press cs and then use the br (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “Touch” (page E-6).

T o u c h

Use br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select one of the three Touch Response sensitivity settings.

Type 1 (1) Normal Touch Response Type 2 (2) More sensitive Touch Response than Type 1

volume is fixed, regardless of key press speed.

Indicator disappears when Touch Response is turned off.

Pressing slowly produces softer notes.

Do not try to use too much pressure.

Adjusting Display Contrast

Press cs and then use the br (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “OTHER” (page E-6).

O T H E R

Press br (10-key) [7] (ENTER) key.

Use the br (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “Contrast”.

C o n t r a s t

Use the br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to adjust the contrast.

• The contrast setting range is 01 to 17.

E-10

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Using the Metronome

The metronome lets you play and practice along with a steady beat to help keep you on tempo.

Start/Stop

Press 6.

This starts the metronome.

This pattern changes with each beat.

Press 6 again to stop the metronome.

Changing the Beats Per Measure

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.

• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure.

• When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.

Hold down 6 until the beats per measure setting screen appears on the display.

Changing the Metronome Tempo

Use the following procedure to change the tempo of the metronome.

Press bn.

Use y (slower) and t (faster) to change the tempo setting. Holding down either button changes the setting at high speed.

• Pressing t and y at the same time will initialize the

tempo setting in accordance with the currently selected song or rhythm.

• Pressing display. While the tempo value is flashing, you can use

(10-key) to change it.

Note that you must input leading zeros, so 89 is input as 089.

Changing the Metronome Sound Volume

The metronome volume setting is changed automatically with the volume level of the currently selected Auto Accompaniment or song. The metronome volume cannot be adjusted independently.

• For information about changing the Auto Accompaniment volume, see page E-40.

• For information about changing the song volume, see page E-28.

• If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the display will return to the screen displayed before you pressed

Use br (10-key) to enter the number of beats per measure.

• The bell will not sound if you specify 0 for this setting. In this case, all beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying how many beats there are in each measure.

• You cannot adjust the balance between the metronome and note volume during Auto Accompaniment and built-in tune play.

Controlling the Keyboard Sounds

Octave Shift

Octave Shift lets you raise or lower the pitch of the keyboard notes in octave units.

• The octave shift setting range is –2 to +2 octaves.

• When using Split (page E-13), you can individually set the left and right keyboard ranges to the pitches you want.

Keep pressing cp until the screen shown below appears on the display.

If you want to use Split, turn on Split before pressing cp.

• If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after this screen appears, the display will return to the previous screen automatically.

(10-key) [–] and [+] keys to shift the

octave for the left side keyboard range.

• Split Off : The screen shown below will appear.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel to Shift the Pitch of Notes (CTK-5000 Only)

You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This technique makes it possible to produce effects that are similar to sounds produced when bending notes on a saxophone or electric guitar.

To play with the pitch bend wheel

While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the pitch bend wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

The amount the note bends depends on how much you rotate the pitch bend wheel.

• Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn on the Digital Keyboard.

Specifying the Pitch Bend Range

Use the following procedure to specify how much the pitch of the note changes whenever the pitch bend wheel is rotated upwards or downwards. You can specify a range from 0 to 12 semitones (one octave).

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a portable audio player, or other device, and then play the sound with keyboard keys. For example, you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.
