Introduction

Care of your
keyboard

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

❐ 242 tones

Choose from among orchestral sounds, synthesized
sounds, and more.

❐ 100 rhythms

100 versatile rhythms help to add plenty of life to all your
keyboard performances.

❐ Auto Accompaniment

Simply play a chord and the corresponding rhythm, bass
and chord parts play automatically.

❐ PIANO BANK button

The touch of a button takes you directly to piano tones
and piano lessons.

❐ 3-Step Lesson System

The 3-Step Lesson System lets you practice at your own
pace. The keyboard automatically grades your
performances, so you can trace your progress as you
improve.

• 3-Step Lesson System: Now you can learn the parts
that make up the keyboard’s built-in tunes. Guidance
that appears on the monitor screen helps lead you down
the path to music proficiency.

• Evaluation System: The keyboard can be configured to
rate your performances during Step 3 lesson by
assigning points.

Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.

Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place
it near an air conditioner, or in any extremely hot place.

Do not use near a TV or radio.

This instrument can cause video or audio interference with
TV and radio reception. If this happens, move the instrument
away from the TV or radio.

extremes.

Extreme heat can cause figures on the LCD screen to become
dim and difficult to read. This condition should correct itself
when the keyboard is brought back to normal temperature.

NOTE

• You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this
keyboard. These lines are a result of the molding process
used to shape the plastic of the case. They are not cracks
or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.

❐ 100 built-in tunes, including piano pieces

Built-in tunes are divided into two groups: a Song Bank
of 50 tunes with Auto Accompaniment, and a Piano Bank
of 50 piano tunes.

Combination tones

The following describes the two types of combination tones
that are available.

Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 098 through 107)

Example: 098 STRINGS PIANO

This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both
sound when a keyboard key is pressed.

Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 108 through 112)

Example: 108 BASS/PIANO

This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass
tone and another range is assigned a piano tone.

BASS

PIANO

E-15

Basic Operations

Percussion sounds

Example: 241 DRUM SET

This tone assigns various percussion sounds to the keyboard.
See the “Percussion Instrument List” on page A-5 for full
details.

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.

NOTE

• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the
number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

Using the Microphone Jack

Connecting a commercially available microphone to the MIC
IN jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s
built-in tunes. 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.

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!

• 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.

1

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

2

Turn on the microphone’s ON/OFF switch.

3

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

NOTE

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12
to +12.

• The default transpose setting is “00” when keyboard
power is turned on.

• If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about
five seconds without doing anything, the screen is
automatically cleared.

• The transpose setting also affects Auto Accompaniment.

• Playing back a Song Bank tune automatically returns
the transpose setting to its standard default of “00”.

• The effect of a transpose operation depends on the pitch

of each note and on the tone you are currently using. If
a transpose operation causes a note to be outside of
the allowable range for a tone, the same note in the
nearest octave within the range will be substituted.

General MIDI Tone

The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering
sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number
of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors
that determine the sound source configuration. Because of
this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source
can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances
as the original, even when played on another manufacturers
sound source.
This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it
can be connected to a computer and used to play back General
MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the
Internet, or obtained from any other source.

Changing the Settings

This section tells you how to make the settings required when
connecting to a computer.

GM MODE (Default: Off)

on: Configures the keyboard for optimal General MIDI data

play (tone specification matching, etc.)
