Using the Digital Piano’s Pedals

Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto

Soft pedal

Sostenuto pedal

Pedal Functions

Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate.

• When grand piano is selected as the tone, using this

pedal generates harmonic and other resonance, just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano. Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way) is also supported.

Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard keys are released, until the pedal is released.

Damper pedal

• If pressing the pedal does not produce the desired

effect, it could mean that the pedal cord is not connected properly. Refer to step 2 under “To connect the cables” (page EN-64).

Adjusting Acoustic Piano Sound Characteristics

The tones of your Digital Piano have built-in elements that give them the characteristic reverberation of an acoustic piano. Each of these elements can be individually adjusted as described below.

Display Name Description Setting Range

Hammer Response Hammer Response. The size of the hammers that strike the strings in an acoustic

piano changes according to the key range, so the timing of note sounding also changes with the range. This settings lets you select timing of note sounding.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off: Fastest response across entire keyboard, regardless of range. 1 to 10: A greater value produces slower timing.

Lid Simulator Lid Simulator. Timbre changes depending on how much the lid of an acoustic piano

is open. You can select one of the lid opening settings described below.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Closed: Lid closed. Semi (Semi-open): Lid partially open. Full (Full-open): Lid fully open. Removed: Lid removed.

Damper Resonance Damper Resonance. Pressing the damper pedal on an acoustic piano opens all 88 of

the strings, causing all of the strings that are harmonics of the strings that are played to resonate. You can select one of the damper resonance settings described below.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the effect level.

Damper Noise Damper Noise. Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is generated as

the damper of an acoustic piano separates from the wires pedal when the damper pedal is pressed. You can use the settings below to adjust the volume level of damper noise.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.

String Resonance String Resonance. Playing on an acoustic piano causes the strings that are harmonics

of the played strings to resonate. You can select one of the string resonance settings described below.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the resonance level.

Open String Reso. Open String Resonance. The dampers are not applied to the high range notes of an

acoustic piano and are always open (open strings), so they produce characteristic resonance. You can select one of the open string resonance settings described below.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the resonance level.

Aliquot Resonance Aliquot Resonance. Aliquot resonance is employed on an acoustic piano by using

the resonance of sections of the middle and high range strings. This system is sometimes called “duplex scaling”. You can use this setting to select how much aliquot resonance is applied.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the resonance level.

Pedal Action Noise Pedal Action Noise. Acoustic piano pedal operation generates piano mechanism

operation sound (noise). You can use the settings below to adjust the volume level of the noise.

• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone. Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.

Using Effects

Hall Simulator

Simulates the rich clarity, unconstrained brilliance, and other acoustic distinctive characteristics of worldfamous concert halls.

• Timbre and reverberation change depending on the

position in the concert hall where the listener is located. Hall Simulator can simulate listening at any position within the currently selected hall.

• Disabling Hall Simulator also disables the Hall

effect.

• Producing sound with the Digital Piano’s sound

source (keyboard play, MIDI Recorder*, Music Library*) while “Player” is selected for the listening position produces a four-channel (up, down, left, right) three-dimensional sound. The “Listener” position and/or playback using the Audio Recorder*, Concert Play*, produces the same left/ right-channel acoustics of a standard stereo device.

Standard audio file format mainly used by Windows. This format needs to be supported in order to play back on a computer or portable music player. Linear PCM, 16-bit, 44.1kHz, stereo WAV format (File name extension: .WAV) is required for playback on a computer or portable music player.

MIDI data

• CSR format:

CASIO original file format. This file format adds CASIO proprietary data to MIDI data. (File name extension: .CSR)

• CM2 format:

CASIO original file format. This file format adds CASIO proprietary data to MIDI data. CM2 format files can be purchased from the CASIO music website. (File name extension: .CM2)

– Saving as a CSR format file

In addition to performance information, model-specific settings (such as Acoustic Simulator) are also saved to the file, so you can reproduce the original performance in its entirety after re-loading the data. Note, however, that CSR file data in not compatible with other musical instrument types and models.

– Saving as an SMF format file

Performance information is saved, but models specific settings are not saved. Because of this, playback of a re-loaded file will be in accordance with the current Digital Piano setup, which may be different from the original setup. If you want to play with the original setup, you will need to configure it manually. Since this is an SMF file, it can be used on another musical instrument that supports SMF. Of course, playback will be somewhat different when played on another musical instrument.

*3 Songs downloaded from the CASIO website, etc. *4 Data can be loaded to Music Library Songs 61 to 70. For more information, see “Loading USB Flash Drive Data into Digital

Piano Memory” (page EN-56).

USB Flash Drive

To connect a USB flash drive to and to detach it from the Digital Piano

• Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the documentation that comes with the USB flash drive.

• Avoid using a USB flash drive under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the USB flash drive. – Areas subjected to high temperature, high

humidity, or corrosive gas

– Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and

digital noise

• Never remove the USB flash drive while data is being written to or loaded from it. Doing so can corrupt the data on the USB flash drive and damage the USB flash drive port.

• Never insert anything besides a USB flash drive into the USB flash drive port. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• When you plug in a USB flash drive, the Digital Piano initially needs to “mount” the USB flash drive and prepare for data exchange. Note that Digital Piano operations are momentarily disabled while a USB flash drive mounting sequence is being performed. It may take up to 10 or 20 seconds or even longer for a USB flash drive to be mounted. Do not attempt to perform any operation on the Digital Piano while a mounting sequence is in progress. A USB flash drive needs to be mounted each time it is connected to the Digital Piano.

■ To insert a USB flash drive

As shown in the illustration below, insert the USB flash drive into the Digital Piano’s USB flash drive port.

• Carefully push the USB flash drive in as far as it will

go. Do not use undue force when inserting the USB flash drive.

Removing the Protective Tape from the Keyboard

Protective tape is affixed to the front edges of the keyboard keys to protect them during shipment. Remove the protective tape before using the Digital Piano.

Power Outlet

Your Digital Piano runs on standard household power. Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using the Digital Piano.

Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction of the Digital Piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24500LW

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC adaptor.

■ Disconnect Protection Precautions

(1) Never pull on the cord with excessive force. (2) Never repeatedly pull on the cord. (3) Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or

connector.

(4) Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it

around the AC adaptor.

(5) Before moving the Digital Piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

■ Locating the AC Adaptor for Use

• When using the AC adaptor, put in a location that

satisfies the conditions below. – A location free of splashing liquids

The AC adaptor is designed for indoor use only. Do not put it in a location where it may become wet and do not place a vase or any other container of liquid on top of it.

– A location that is not humid. – A roomy, well ventilated location

Do not cover the AC adaptor with newspaper, table cloth, curtain, or any other type of fabric.

– Use a power outlet that is located near the Digital

Piano. This will let you immediately unplug from the power outlet should any problem occur.

• When using the AC adaptor, place it on the floor

with its label surface downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.

English

• Never connect the AC adaptor that comes with this Digital Piano to any other device besides this Digital Piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the Digital Piano is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• Unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet if you do not plan to use the Digital Piano for a long time.

Connecting Headphones

Front

PHONES jacks

Stereo standard plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound from only one side of the headphones.

• If the plug of the headphones you are using does not match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable commercially available adaptor plug.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you play.

Headphone Mode

Connecting Audio Equipment or an Amplifier

You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier to the Digital Piano and then play through external speakers for more powerful volume and better sound quality.

• The Digital Piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphone output (when headphones are connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones are not connected).

• Inserting a plug into the Digital Piano’s LINE OUT R and/or L/MONO terminal automatically switches to a timbre suitable for line out. It also automatically changes the timbre output from the Digital Piano’s built-in speakers and disables the Volume Sync Equalizer (page EN-48). To mute sound output from the speakers, first disable the Headphone Mode (“Headphone Mode”, page EN-68) and then plug headphones into the Digital Piano’s PHONES terminal.

• Whenever connecting a device to the Digital Piano, first use the VOLUME controller to set the volume to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

• Whenever you connect any device to the Digital Piano, be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the device.

The Headphone Mode reproduces the natural expanse of sound that reaches the ears when an acoustic piano is played.

• The Headphone Mode is enabled only while

headphones are being used.

• If external output is used while headphones are

plugged into the PHONE jack, the external output sound is also the result of Headphone Mode compensation.

• The Headphone Mode is enabled under initial

default settings. To disable the Headphone Mode, see “Configuring Settings” on page EN-44, and “General” 3 “Headphone Mode” in the “Parameter List” on page EN-48.

To output to a musical instrument amplifier (Figure

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the Digital Piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 1. LINE OUT R jack output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. Connecting to the LINE OUT L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the Digital Piano’s VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

To output to audio equipment (Figure

Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment to the Digital Piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/ MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in this configuration you must set the audio equipment’s input selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the piano is connected. Use the Digital Piano’s VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

Digital Piano memory data was corrupted because a data transfer operation with a computer was in progress the last time you turned off the Digital Piano. When this happens, the Digital Piano performs a memory format operation the next time you turn it on. You cannot perform any other operation while a format operation is in progress.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process, * Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the

original musical instrument. Because of this, there may be very slight differences in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Action

When I press a button, the note that is sounding cuts out momentarily or there is a slight change in how effects are applied.

The play-along part (the part played on the Digital Piano) is slightly audible during Play Mode playback.

See

Page

This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer, using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which causes notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.

Certain recording conditions may cause the play-along part to be slightly audible during Play Mode playback. This does not indicate malfunction.
