Power Supply

You can power this digital piano by plugging it into a standard household power outlet. Be sure you turn off power and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet whenever the digital piano is not in use.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this digital piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-12

Connections

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete.

• Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with the external equipment for its proper connection procedures.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano’s PHONES jacks. This cuts off the builtin speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

[Left Side Panel]

PHONES jacks

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s PEDAL DAMPER jack or PEDAL SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal. See “Using the Piano’s Pedals” on page E-8 for information about using a pedal.

Using the Piano’s Pedals

Pedal functions

• Damper pedal Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer.

• Soft pedal Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.

• Sostenuto pedal Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the keyboard, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. You can perform the following operation to select either soft or sostenuto for the pedal operation.

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

Playing Rhythms

Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the

first chord within the accompaniment keyboard range.

• This will cause the intro pattern for the selected rhythm to play, followed by the auto accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern.

Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play

other chords.

• See “How to Play Chords” on this page for information about how to finger chords with the various chord modes.

• You can insert a fill-in pattern while an auto accompaniment is playing by pressing the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button. A fill-in helps to change the mood of the auto accompaniment pattern.

To stop auto accompaniment play, press the

INTRO/ENDING button.

• This will play an ending pattern for the selected rhythm before stopping auto accompaniment play.

NOTE

• You can start or stop auto accompaniment play without an intro or ending pattern by pressing the START/STOP button in steps 3 and 6.

How to Play Chords

The way you finger chords depends on the current chord mode.

■ Normal

In this mode there is no auto accompaniment, so you can play all of piano’s keys for standard-fingering chords or melody notes.

NOTE

• The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.

Chord Types

CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords with minimal fingering.

Chord Types

Major chords

Press one accompaniment key. Note that the chord produced when you press an accompaniment keyboard key does not change octave, regardless of which key you use to play it.

Minor chords (m)

To play a minor chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other accompaniment keyboard key located to the right of the major chord key.

Seventh chords (7)

To play a seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other two accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key.

Minor seventh chords (m7)

To play a minor seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other three accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key.

■ FULL RANGE CHORD

This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38 chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 additional variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any multi-key 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, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end can be used for both melody and chords.

NOTE

• Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.

• Except for the exception specified in note* all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.
