•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.
■Disabling Auto Power Off
You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not turned off automatically during a concert, etc.
1.While holding down bp, turn on power.
Auto Power Off will be disabled.
Using Headphones
Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers, which means you can practice playing even late at night without disturbing others.
•Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting headphones.

•Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.
•Use commercially available headphones. See page E-3 for information about options.
•Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk of hearing damage.
•If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when removing the headphones.

You can sample a sound from a microphone, a portable audio player, or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard. 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.
Connection and Preparation
•Before connecting, make sure that the Digital Keyboard, external devices, and/or the microphone all are turned off.
1.Connect a microphone or external device to the Digital Keyboard.
MIC IN jack
Digital Keyboard AUDIO IN jack
CD player, Cassette player, etc.
Stereo mini plug
•You also could connect a commercially available microphone.
•Connection of an external device requires commercially available connecting cords, supplied by you. Connecting cords should have a stereo mini plug on one end and a plug that matches the configuration of the external device on the other end.
2.Turn down the volume levels of the external device and the Digital Keyboard.
3.Turn on the external device or microphone, and then turn on the Digital Keyboard.
•When using a microphone, adjust the input volume level with 3.
•It will take a few seconds after you turn on the Digital Keyboard before you will be able to use the microphone.
•Sampled sounds are recorded in monaural.

5. Play something on the Digital Keyboard.
•You may not be able to get 10 seconds of sampling if Digital Keyboard memory is low due to storage of other data. If this happens, deleting other memory data you no longer need will free up memory space and you should be able to sample for 10 seconds. See “Deleting a Sampled Sound” on page E-23 for more information.
•Sampling sound and storing it will delete any sound data currently stored under the same tone number. To help ensure that you do not accidentally delete important data, be sure to read “Protecting Against Accidental Deletion of Sampled Sounds” on page E-24.

Effect Type
Description
(Display)
Original (Orgnl)
Normal sampled tone (no looping, no effect).
Loop 1 (Loop1) Loops the sampled sound.
Loops the sample sound and raises the Loop 2 (Loop2) pitch of the resonating sound when the
keyboard key is released.
Loops the sample sound and lowers the Loop 3 (Loop3) pitch of the resonating sound when the
keyboard key is released.
Pitch 1 (Ptch1)
Changes the pitch from low to high, at an increasing rate.
Pitch 2 (Ptch2)
Changes the pitch from high to low, at a decreasing rate.
Changes the pitch from high to low, at a Pitch 3 (Ptch3) decreasing rate, and then raises the pitch
when the key is released.
Tremolo (Treml) Alternates volume between high and low.
Adds vibrato and changes the pitch by a Funny 1 (Funy1) gradually increasing amount.
Alternates between high pitch and low Funny 2 (Funy2) pitch.
Adds vibrato and changes the pitch from Funny 3 (Funy3) low to high.
•Avoid assigning the same sampled sound to the keyboard for play along and for looped play. Doing so will cause, the Loop 1 effect to be applied to the keyboard tone while looped play of the sampled sound is being performed.
Incorporating a Sampled Sound into a Drum Set (Drum Sampling)
You can use the procedure to change the drum sounds that are assigned to each keyboard key.
•You can store up to three drum sets and store them as tone numbers 676, 677, and 678 (WK-200: 576, 577, and 578). Simply select the tone number where the drum set you want is located to assign the drum set sounds to the keyboard.
