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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
