• With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to
linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.
• With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to
continue to sound until the pedal is released.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 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.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the
volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make
output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.
655A-E-017A
Sostenuto Pedal
• As with the sustain pedal function described above,
depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.
• This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal
is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys
and then depress the pedal before you release the keys.
• Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is
depressed are sustained.
Soft Pedal
Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being
played.
Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal
In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the
START/STOP button.

Connecting to a TV
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure that both the keyboard and the TV are turned
off before connecting them.
• Placing the keyboard on top of or too close to the TV
can cause problems with the colors that appear on the
TV screen. Keep the keyboard away from the TV.
Use the bundled video cable to connect the keyboard to a TV
as shown below.
• Turn on the TV and perform the required operation to select
its video input terminal.
• Turn on the keyboard.
IMPORTANT!
• See the user documentation that comes with your TV
for information about how to configure the required
settings.
• A TV normally supports either NTSC or PAL as its color
system. The system supported by your keyboard
matches the system used in the geographic area where
you purchased it. The color system is also indicated on
the rating plate on the bottom of the keyboard.
Keyboard ModelSupported Color System
LK-94TV/LK-95TVNTSC
Images will not appear correctly on the TV screen if its color
system does not match the color system of the keyboard.
Make sure you check with your retailer before purchasing
the keyboard outside of the area where you will normally
use it.

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

After turning on the effect you want, use the number
buttons or the [+]/[–] buttons to select the effect
type you want.
• Note that you need to select an effect type with the
number buttons or the [+]/[–] buttons within a few
seconds after turning on an effect. If you don’t, the

3-Step Lesson
The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct
steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the
keyboard.
Step 1 – Master the timing.
In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the
correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing
right without worrying about playing the right note.
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you press a key
before proceeding to the next phrase.
Step 2 – Master the notes.
In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you
should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light
system to learn which keyboard keys to press.
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until your play the
correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.
Step 3 – Play at normal speed.
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn
using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you
which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds
at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the
correct notes.

NOTE
• Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted

fingering.
• Except for the exception specified in note*

Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired
FINGERED chord.
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, can be
used for both melody and chords.

SETTING
This section describes how to use layer (to play two tones
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 tone to produce a rich and brassy
sound.
To layer tones
1
First select the main tone.
Example: To select “078 BRASS” as the main tone, press
the TONE button and then use the number

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.

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,

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.

• Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Care of your keyboard
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 lacquer, thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning.
Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution
and squeeze until it is almost dry.
Avoid use in areas subjected to temperature extremes.
Extremely high or low temperature 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.
• Rhythms 100 through 119 consist of chord accompaniments only, without any drums or other percussion instruments. These
rhythms do not sound unless CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the accompaniment
mode. With such rhythms, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected before you try
playing chords.
NOTA
• Los ritmos 100 al 119 consisten solamente de acompañamientos de acordes, sin ninguna batería ni otros instrumentos de
percusión. Estos ritmos no suenan a menos que CASIO CHORD, FINGERED o FULL RANGE CHORD sean seleccionados
como el modo de acompañamiento. Con tales ritmos, asegúrese de que se selecciona CASIO CHORD, FINGERED o FULL
RANGE CHORD, antes de tratar de ejecutar los acordes.
