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.

❐ 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

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.

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.

• 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.

FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method provides a total of 38 different
chord types: the 15 chord types available with FINGERED
plus 23 additional types. The keyboard interprets any input
of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD
pattern to be a chord. Any other input (that is not a FULL
RANGE CHORD pattern) is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment
keyboard, so the entire keyboard, from end to end, functions
as a melody keyboard that can be used for both melody and
chords.

About Auto Harmonize notes and tones
The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody
notes,” while the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “harmonize notes.” Auto Harmonize
normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as
the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the Mixer
(page E-35) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes.
The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 5, so
change Channel 5 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.
In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change
a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See
“Using the Parameter Edit Mode” on page E-36 for details
on these procedures.
❚
NOTE
• The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on Auto
Harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.
• Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes the
harmonize note tone to the same setting.

How Parameters Work
The following are the parameters whose settings can be
changed in the Parameter Edit Mode.
Tone Parameters
■
Tone (Range: 000 to 247)
This parameter controls the tones assigned to each part.
T o n eN o.
❚
NOTE
• The displayed tone number has only two digits when an Advanced tone is selected.
Tuning Parameters
You can use these parameters to tune each of the parts individually.
■
Coarse Tune (Range: –24 to 00 to +24)
This parameter controls the coarse tuning of the selected channel’s pitch in semitone units.
C . T u n e
■
Fine Tune (Range: –99 to 00 to +99)
This parameter controls the fine tuning of the selected channel’s pitch in cent units.
■
Part On/Off (Settings: on, oFF)
This parameter can be used to turn each part on (sounds)
and off (does not sound). The current on/off status of each
part is indicated on the display as described below.
■
Volume (Range: 000 to 127)
This is the parameter that controls the volume of the selected
channel.
V olu m e
■
Pan Pot (Range: –64 to 00 to +63)
This parameter controls the pan pot, which is the center point
of the left and right stereo channels. Setting “00” specifies
center, a value less than “00” moves the point left, and a value greater than “00” moves it right.
P a n
■
Octave Shift (Range: –2 to 0 to +2)
You can use octave shift to shift the range of the tone up or
down. When using the piccolo tone, there may be cases when
very high notes you want to play are not included within the
range of the keyboard. When this happens, you can use octave shift to shift the keyboard range one octave up.
F in e T u n e
Effect Parameters
The Mixer lets you control the effects applied to each individual part, making it different from the Effect Mode, whose
settings are applied to all parts in general.
■
Reverb Send (Range: 000 to 127)
This parameter controls how much reverb is applied to a part.
A setting of “000” turns reverb off, while a setting of 127 applies maximum reverb.
R v bS e n d
■
Chorus Send (Range: 000 to 127)
This parameter controls how much chorus send is applied to
a part. A setting “000” turns chorus send off, while a setting
of 127 applies maximum chorus send.
•“Chorus Send” does not work with drum sounds.
C h oS e n d
■
DSP Line (Settings: on, oFF)

Synthesizer Mode
The Synthesizer Mode of this keyboard provides the tools
for creating your own original tones. Simply select one of the
built-in tones and change its parameters to create your own
original sound. You can even store your sounds in memory
and select it using the same procedure as that used to select a
preset tone.
Synthesizer Mode Functions
The following describes how to use each of the functions
available in the Synthesizer Mode.
Synthesizer Mode Parameters
The preset tones that are built into this keyboard consist of a
number of parameters. To create a user tone, you first recall a
General MIDI tone (100 to 227) or a preset tone (000 to 099)
and then change its parameters to change it to your own tone.
Note that drum set tones (228 through 237) cannot be used
as the basis of a user tone.
The illustration below shows the parameters that make up
the preset tones and what each parameter does. As can be
seen in the illustration, these parameters can be divided into
four groups, each of which is described in detail below.

Tone Setting
Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the original tone.
(2) Volume Characteristic Parameters
These parameters control how the tone changes over time,
from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays. You can specify changes in volume and sound characteristics.
■
Attack time
This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone
reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate
where it gradually rises, or something in between.
■
Release time
This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to
zero. You can specify a release that ranges from a sudden fall
to zero, to one that gradually falls to zero.

The cutoff frequency is a parameter for adjusting timbre by
cutting any frequency that is higher than a specific frequency. A larger cutoff frequency produces a brighter (harder) timbre, while a smaller frequency produces a darker (softer) timbre.

NOTE
• With some tones, a large resonance value can cause distortion or noise during the attack part of the tone.
These parameters adjust the vibrato effect, which causes periodic changes in the tone.
Saving User Tones
The group of tone numbers from 238 through 247 (User 01
through User 10) is called the “user area” because they are reserved for storage of user tones. After you recall a preset tone
and change its parameters to create your own user tone, you
can store it in the user area for later recall. You can recall your
tones using the same procedure that you use when selecting a
preset tone.

(4) Tone Characteristic Setting Parameters
■
Level
This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone.
■
Touch Sense
This parameter controls changes in volume and timbre in
accordance with the relative amount of pressure applied to
the keyboard keys. You can specify more volume for stronger
pressure and less volume or a lighter pressure, or you can specify the same volume regardless of how much pressure is applied to the keys.
These parameters control the effects applied to tones.

NOTE
• The keyboard is shipped from the factory with tone number
000 (piano) assigned to the user area.
• Note that creating a user tone (000 to 227) does not change the
preset tone. It creates a new version of the preset tone for storage in the user area.
• You cannot use a drum set tone (228 to 237) as the basis of a
user tone.

User Tone Creation Hints
The following hints provide helpful advice on making user
tone creation a bit quicker and easier.
Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to
create.
Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are
trying to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset
tone that is similar.
■
Experiment with various different settings.
There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like.
Let your imagination run free and experiment with different
combinations. You may be surprised at what you can achieve.
Storing a User Tone In Memory
The following procedure shows how to store a user tone in
memory. Once a tone is stored, you can call it up just as you
do with a preset tone.
To name a user tone and store it in memory
1. Select a preset tone to use as the basis for the
user tone, press the SYNTH button to enter the
Synthesizer Mode, and make the parameter settings you want.
2. After making parameter settings to create the user
tone, press [왔] (ENTER).
3. Use [+] and [–] to change the user area tone num-
ber on the display until the one where you want
to store the tone is shown.

Memory Capacity
The keyboard has memory for approximately 3,500 notes. You
can use all 3,500 notes for a single song, or you can divide
memory between two different songs.
• The measure number and note number flash on the display whenever remaining memory is less than 100 notes.
• Recording automatically stops (and auto-accompaniment
and rhythm stops playing if they are being used) whenever memory becomes full.
• The same memory area is used for song memory and user
rhythm memory. Because of this, the number of notes you
can store in song memory is lower when there is user
rhythm data stored in memory. You can clear memory contents and free up more space for song memory space using
the Initialize / Delete setting menu (page E-65).
Memory Data Storage
• Whenever you make a new recording, anything previously stored in memory is replaced.
• Memory contents 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, clearing all data stored in memory. Plug the keyboard
into a wall outlet with the AC adaptor before replacing batteries.
• Turning off the keyboard while a record operation is in
progress causes the contents of the track your are currently
recording to be lost.
• Remember that you can dump memory contents to another MIDI device using the procedure described under “Using the Data Download Service” on page E-68.

with a single key) and split (to assign different tones to either end of the keyboard), and how to make touch response,
transpose, and tuning settings.
Using Layer
Layer lets you assign two different tones (a main tone and a
layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever
you press a key. For example, you could layer the FRENCH
HORN tone on the BRASS SECTION tone to produce a rich
and brassy sound.
LAYER
Main Tone (BRASS SECTION) + Layered Tone (FRENCH HORN)
To layer tones
1. First select the main tone.
Example: To select “065 BRASS SECTION” as the main
tone, press the TONE button and then use
the number buttons to input 0, 6 and then 5.
B rsS e ct
2. Press the LAYER button.
3. Select the layered tone.
Example: To select “064 FRENCH HORN” as the lay-
ered tone, use the number buttons to input
0, 6 and then 4.
F r.H o r n
4. Now try playing something on the keyboard.
• Both tones are played at the same time.
5. Press the LAYER button again to unlayer the tones
and return the keyboard to normal.
❚
NOTE
• The main tone sounds over Channel 1, while the layered tone
sounds over Channel 2. You can also use the Mixer to change
the tone and volume settings for these channels.
• Layer cannot be used while standing by for recording or while
recording is being performed in the Song Memory Mode.
Using Split
With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone
and a split tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets
you play one tone with your left hand and another tone with
your right hand. For example, you could select STRINGS as
the main (high range) tone and PIZZICATO STRINGS as the
split (low range) tone, putting an entire string ensemble at
your fingertips.
Split also lets you specify the split point, which is the location on the keyboard where the changeover between the two
tones occurs.

sounds over Channel 3. You can also use the Mixer to change
the tone and volume settings for these channels.
• Split cannot be used while standing by for recording or while
recording is being performed in the Memory Mode.
• When the MODE switch is set to CASIO CHORD or FINGERED,
the accompaniment keyboard range is in accordance with the
split point you specify with the above procedure.
3. Select the split tone.
Example: To select “048 PIZZICATO STRINGS” as the
split tone, use the number buttons to input 0,

Using Layer and Split Together
You can use layer and split together to create a layered split
keyboard. It makes no difference whether you layer tones
first and then split the keyboard, or split the keyboard and
then layer tones. When you use layer and split in combination, the high range of the keyboard is assigned two tones
(main tone + layered tone), and the low range two tones (split
tone + layered split tone).

MIDI
What is MIDI?
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital
signals and connectors that make it possible to exchange
musical data between musical instruments and computers
(devices) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.
Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI
to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations
require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides
you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.
MIDI Connections
MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal of one device to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this keyboard to another device, for example, you must use a MIDI
cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to
the MIDI IN terminal of the other device. To send MIDI messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI cable to
connect the other device’s MIDI OUT terminal to the MIDI
IN terminal of this keyboard.
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and playback the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must
connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both devices in order to send and receive data.

MIDI Channels
MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the
same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI
channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through
16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you
exchange data (key press, pitch bend operation, etc.).
Both the sending device and the receiving machine must be
set to the same channel for the receiving device to correctly
receive and play data. If the receiving device is set to Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and
all other channels are ignored.
This keyboard is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities,
which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time. Tone and volume settings for each channel can be made using the keyboard’s onboard Mixer, or by an external source that sends
required MIDI control messages.
Keyboard operations performed on this keyboard is sent out by
selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appropriate message.
General MIDI
General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source
types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies
such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available
MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it
possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nuances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the
manufacturer of the sound source.
This keyboard supports General MIDI, so it can be used to
play commercially available pre-recorded General MIDI data
and General MIDI data send to it from a personal computer.
Computer etc.
If a MIDI THRU function provided by the software is being run on
a connected computer or other MIDI device, be sure to turn this
keyboard’s “Local Control Setting” off (page E-65).

Sending and Receiving MIDI Messages
This keyboard can send notes you play on the keyboard, as
well as auto accompaniment patterns and Song Memory playback as MIDI messages to another device.
MIDI Send Data
■
Keyboard Play
Each keyboard part (Channels 1 through 4) is sent over its
own individual MIDI channel. When Auto Harmonize is
turned on, harmonize notes are also sent over each individual MIDI channel.
■
Auto Accompaniment Play
Each accompaniment part is sent over its own individual
MIDI channel. The “Accomp MIDI Out” parameter (page E-
65) is used to specify whether a part is sent.
MIDI Settings
You can change the settings of a number of parameters that
control how MIDI messages are sent and received.
MIDI Parameters
You can use the parameter setting procedure (page E-63) to
change the settings of the MIDI parameters described below.
See pages E-64 and E-65 for details about the setting menu

MIDI Message Receive
■
Multi Channel Receive
The 16 mixer parts can be used to receive data over 16 MIDI
message channels at the same time.
