CAUTION

AC Adaptor

Do not locate the power cord in close proximity to heaters or other heating appliances. This may cause the cord to melt leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

When unplugging the AC adaptor from an

electrical outlet, always make sure to pull on the adaptor itself and not the cord. Pulling excessively on the cord may cause it to be damaged or break leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands when it is plugged in. This may cause electrical shock.

When not using the instrument for an extended period such as when traveling, always make sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet for safety reasons.

After use turn off the power switch of the instrument and unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of fire.

Batteries

Improper battery use may cause batteries to rupture and leak. This may cause injury, malfunction of the instrument or discoloration of furniture and other articles that come into contact with battery fluid. Take care to observe the following.

Install batteries so their polarity (+/–) matches that indicated on the instrument.

For safety and to prevent possible leakage of battery fluid, always make sure to remove batteries from the instrument when you do not plan to use it for a long time.

Always make sure that the batteries making up a set are all of the same type.

Never combine new batteries with old ones.

Never dispose of batteries by incinerating them. Never short or disassemble batteries, and do not expose them to excessive heat.

Replace dead batteries as soon as possible.

Never attempt to recharge batteries.

Transport

• When transporting the instrument, always make sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet and confirm that all other external connections have been disconnected. Only then should the instrument be transported. If the above is not done, the cord may be damaged leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

Care

• Whenever caring, make sure to first unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet. Also remove the instrument’s batteries if battery power is being used.

Location

Never locate the instrument in areas subject to high humidity or heavy accumulation of dust. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.

Never locate the instrument in areas subject to grease splatters or steam, such as in a kitchen or near a humidifier. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not place keyboard on lacquered furniture.

The instrument’s silicone rubber feet may eventually blacken or scar lacquered surfaces. Use felt cloth pads to insulate the feet or preferably use a CASIO musical instrument stand designed for your keyboard.

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument. This may cause the instrument to tip over or break resulting in injury.

Volume

Very high volume levels can damage hearing. Avoid using the instrument at very high volume settings for long periods. Consult with a physician immediately if you experience impaired hearing or ringing in the ears.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Precautions

Avoid subjecting the keyboard's LCD to strong impact, which can crack or break the LCD's glass creating the danger of personal injury.

Should the LCD glass ever crack or break, do not allow the liquid inside the LCD to come into contact with your skin, which can cause inflammation and reddening.

*Should the LCD liquid get into your mouth, immediately wash out your mouth with water and then consult a physician.

*Should the LCD liquid get in your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and then consult a physician.

Do not get onto the instrument or stand.*

Do not crawl on top of the instrument or its optional stand. Particular caution is required in homes having small children. This may cause the instrument or stand to tip over and break resulting in injury.

Optional Stand*

Carefully assemble the stand following the assembly instructions that come with it. Securely tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners, and make sure that you mount the instrument correctly onto the stand. Incorrectly or insufficiently tightening screws, or incorrectly mounting the instrument onto the stand can cause the stand to tip over or the instrument to fall off the stand, possibly leading to injury.

* The stand is available as an option.

Care of your keyboard

Avoid strong impact and rough handling.

Your keyboard is made of precision components that can malfunction when subjected to strong impact and rough handling.

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.

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.

Lithium Battery Precautions

The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard power can result in deletion of all data stored in its memory.

The normal life of the original battery is five years from the time it is loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and storage, the original battery probably will not provide a full five years of service life. It is up to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced periodically.

*CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held responsible for any losses to you or any third party due to loss or corruption of data caused by malfunction or repair of this keyboard, or by battery replacement.

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.

NOTES

Display examples shown in this User’s Guide are intended for illustrative purposes only. The actual text and values that appear on the display may differ from the examples shown in this User’s Guide.

Backlight brightness may appear somewhat unstable immediately after the keyboard is turned on. This does not indicate malfunction, and brightness will stabilize after a few seconds.

The back lighting of the display is provided by a fluorescent light, which loses its brightness over very long periods of use. When this happens, contact your original dealer or a CASIO service provider about having the backlight replaced. Note that you will be charged for such replacement.

Adjusting Display Contrast

Display contrast can be adjust to one of 100 levels for easy viewing.

Adjusting display contrast helps to make figures easier to read from any viewing angle.

Within five seconds after pressing the CONTRAST button, press [+] to increase the contrast value (making the display darker) or [–] to decrease it (making the display lighter).

After you release CONTRAST, the message “Contrast” remains on the display for a few moments, during which you can change the contrast setting further using [+] and [–] or by inputting a contrast value with the number keys.

The contrast can be set to a value from 0 to 99. The initial default setting is 50.

Audio Equipment (Figure 2)

Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.

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.

Sustain Pedal

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.

Sostenuto Pedal

As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

The 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.

tab

The keyboard may not function correctly if you load or replace batteries with power turned on. If this happens, turning the keyboard off and then back on again should return functions back to normal.

Important Battery Information

The following shows the approximate battery life.

Alkaline batteries ............................................... 2 hours

The above value is standard battery life at normal temperature, with the keyboard volume at medium setting. Temperature extremes or playing at very loud volume settings can shorten battery life.

Any of the following symptoms indicate low battery power. Replace batteries as soon as possible whenever any of the following occurs.

Dim power supply indicator

Instrument does not turn on

Display that is flickering, dim, or difficult to read

Abnormally low speaker/headphone volume

Distortion of sound output

Occasional interruption of sound when playing at high volumes

Sudden power failure when playing at high volumes

Flickering or dimming of the dispaly when playing at high volume

Continued sound output even after you release a key

A totally different tone may sound

Abnormal rhythm pattern and demo tune play

E-14

Loss of power, sound distortion, or low volume when playing from a connected computer or MIDI device

Sudden power failure while reading from or writing to a diskette (WK-1800 only)

IMPORTANT!

Improper handling of batteries can cause them to burst and leak, which creates the danger of personal injury or damage due to contact with battery fluid. Be sure to note the following important precautions.

Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles are facing correctly as indicated inside the battery compartment.

To avoid damage caused by leaking batteries, be sure to remove batteries from the keyboard whenever you leave it unattended for long periods (such as when leaving on a trip).

Never mix batteries of different types.

Never mix old batteries with new ones.

Never discard batteries by incinerating them, do not allow their poles to be shorted (connected to each other), never take batteries apart, and do not expose batteries to direct heat.

Replace batteries as soon as possible after any sign they are getting weak.

Never attempt to recharge batteries.

Using the AC Adaptor

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

Auto Power Off

When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off automatically whenever you leave it on without performing any operation for about 6 minutes. When this happens, press the POWER button to turn power back on.

NOTE

Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the AC adaptor to power the keyboard.

To disable Auto Power Off

Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to disable Auto Power Off.

When Auto Power Off is disabled, the keyboard does not turn off automatically no matter how long it is left with no operation being performed.

Settings and Memory Contents

The following describes what happens to settings and memory contents when power is turned off.

Settings

Tone, rhythm, and other “main keyboard settings” in effect when the keyboard is turned off manually by pressing POWER or automatically by Auto Power Off are still in effect the next time you turn power back on.

Main Keyboard Settings

Tone number, rhythm number, touch response on/off, touch response sensitivity, accompaniment mode, DSP on/off, DSP selection, assignable jack setting, tempo, Mixer parameters (tone, volume, pan, effect send, channel on/off, accompaniment volume), keyboard channel, General MIDI on/off, Pitch Bend range, accomp MIDI out on/off, MIDI in chord judge on/off, registration bank, layer on/off, auto harmonize on/off, split on/off, split point, Song Sequencer settings (song number, metronome, quantize), Pattern Sequencer settings (metronome, quantize), sound range shift on/off, contrast setting, SMF playback settings (WK-1800 only)

Memory Contents

In addition to the above settings, Registration, Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer, and Synthesizer memory contents are also retained when power is turned off.

Power Requirements

The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard power can result in deletion of all data stored in its memory.

The normal life of the original battery is five years from the time it is loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and storage, the original battery probably will not provide a full five years of service life. It is up to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced periodically.

Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery replacement.

To protect against loss of valuable memory data, we strongly suggest that you use either of the following methods to back it up.

Perform a MIDI dump of the data to a computer or other external device for storage. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E- 65 for details.

Save the data to diskette (WK-1800 only). See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive” on page E-67 for details.

To initialize the keyboard and delete all data

You can either fully initialize the keyboard or initialize parameters only.

Full Initialization

Use this procedure to return all keyboard settings to what they were when you purchased it. Note that this procedure clears all data from memory.

1. While holding down the ENTER button, turn on keyboard power.

Re s e t ?

2. Press YES to initialize the keyboard or NO to turn on power without changing any settings.

The above procedure restores registration memory to its factory default contents. Any setup data stored in registration memory is deleted by the above procedure.

Parameter Initialization

Use this procedure to return all keyboard settings to what they were when you purchased it. Note that this procedure does not affect user tones, user rhythms, registration memory contents, and display contrast settings.

While keyboard power is on, press the [+], [–], and ENTER buttons at the same time.

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-accom- paniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-accompaniment 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 16note polyphony.

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.

Using Layer

With layer you can 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.

Main tone (UPPER1) + Layered tone (UPPER2)

To layer two tones

1. Select the main tone and layered tone.

Use the Mixer to select the tones, following the procedure under “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E- 30. The main tone is UPPER1, while the layered tone is UPPER2.

If you don’t want to use the Mixer, select a keyboard tone as you normally would (page E-16). This is the main tone. Next, proceed to step 2.

2.Press LAYER to turn on tone layering.

This causes the LAYER indicator to appear on the display.

The layered tone name and number appear on the display for about five seconds. During this time you can use the number keys to input a tone number to change the layered tone if you want. After about five seconds, the display changes to the main tone name and number.

3.Now try playing something on the keyboard.

Both tones are played at the same time.

4.Press LAYER to unlayer the tones and return the keyboard to normal.

This causes the LAYER indicator to disappear.

NOTE

Layering is produced by sounding Mixer internal mode CH 1 (UPPER1) and CH 2 (UPPER2) at the same time. This means you can use the Mixer to change the volume balance and stereo pan position parameters for both the main tone and layered tone. See “Mixer Function” on page E-28 for details.

733A-E-019A

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 as the split (low range) tone, putting an entire string ensemble at your fingertips.

Split point

Split tone (LOWER1)

Main tone (UPPER1)

To split the keyboard

1. Select the main tone and split tone.

Use the Mixer to select the tones, following the procedure under “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E- 30. The main tone is UPPER1, while the split tone is LOWER1.

If you don’t want to use the Mixer, select a keyboard tone as you normally would (page E-16). This is the main tone. Next, proceed to step 2.

2.Press SPLIT.

This causes the SPLIT indicator to appear on the display.

The split tone name and number appear on the display for about five seconds. During this time you can use the number keys to input a tone number to change the split tone if you want. After about five seconds, the display changes to the main tone name and number.

3.Now try playing something on the keyboard.

The lower range (left side) of the keyboard is assigned the split tone, while the upper range (right side) is assigned the main tone.

The location on the keyboard where the changeover between the two tones occurs is called the split point. See “To change the location of the split point” on page E-18 for details on changing the location of the split point.

4.Press SPLIT again to unsplit the keyboard and return it to normal.

This causes the SPLIT indicator to disappear.

Transposing the Keyboard

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play accompaniment for a vocalist whose sings in a specific key, for example, you can use transpose to change the key of the keyboard without having to learn to play the song in another key.

To transpose the keyboard

Use the TRANSPOSE buttons ( and ) to change the transpose setting of the keyboard.

Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones upwards.

T r a n s .

NOTES

The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12 (one octave downwards) to +12 (one octave upwards).

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

The display changes from the transpose screen back to its normal screen if you do not perform any key operation for about three seconds.

To return the transpose setting its initial default of 00, display the transpose screen and press the TRANSPOSE buttons ( and ) at the same time.

The transpose setting also affects the sequencer and Auto Accompaniment. It does not, however, affect Auto Accompaniment drum parts.

Tuning the Keyboard

The tuning feature lets you fine tune the keyboard to match the tuning of another musical instrument.

To tune the keyboard

1. Press the TUNE/MIDI button to display the tuning screen.

• With the WK-1600/1630, this button is named TUNE.

Tun e

2. Use [+] and [–] buttons to change the tuning setting of the keyboard.

Example: To lower the tuning by 20.

Tun e

NOTES

The keyboard can be tuned within a range of –50 cents to 50 cents (±50 cents*).

*100 cents is equivalent to one semitone.

The default tuning setting is 00 when keyboard power is turned on.

The display changes from the tuning screen back to its normal screen if you do not perform any key operation for about five seconds.

To return the tuning setting to its initial default of 00, display the tuning screen and press the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.

The tuning setting also affects the sequencer and Auto Accompaniment. It does not, however, affect Auto Accompaniment drum parts.

Turning DSP Effects On and Off

You can turn the currently selected DSP effect on and off by pressing the DSP button.

The current DSP effect’s on/off status is indicated on the display

by the indicator. The digital effect is on while this indicator is displayed, and off when it is not displayed.

Press the DSP button to toggle the currently selected digital effect on and off.

To turn the DSP effect on and off

1. Press the DSP button.

This causes one of the two digital effect screens shown below to appear.

The above screens clear if you do not perform any operation within about five seconds.

2.While a digital effect screen is on the display, use the [+] and [–] buttons to scroll through the digital effects, until the one you want is displayed.

NOTES

Playing a demo tune (page E-8) automatically changes the effect to the one that is assigned to the tune. You cannot change or cancel a demo tune effect.

Changing the effect setting while sound is being output by the keyboard causes a slight break in the sound when the effect changes.

The DSP effect is applied not only to the notes you play on the keyboard, but also to rhythms and Auto Accompaniment patterns. Note that effects 3 through 6, and effect 8 can produce a mood that is not suitable for certain types of music when they are applied to rhythms and Auto Accompaniment. When this happens, you can turn off application of the effect to the rhythm and Auto Accompaniment by using the Mixer to set the effect send volume of the accompaniment channel to zero. For details on the actual procedure for doing this, see “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-30.

Setting the keyboard’s MAIN VOLUME slider to high volume when Effect 9 (EQ Loudness) is being applied can cause distortion for certain tones and rhythm patterns. When this happens, lower the MAIN VOLUME setting.

Using the PITCH BEND Wheel

As its name suggests, the PITCH BEND wheel lets you “bend” the pitch of a sound. This makes it possible to add a touch of realism to saxophone and other tones.

To use the PITCH BEND wheel

While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to rotate the PITCH BEND wheel up and down.

Releasing the PITCH BEND wheel returns the note to its original pitch.

NOTES

With saxophone and electrical guitar tones, the most realistic sounding effects can be produced if you play notes and operate the PITCH BEND wheel simultaneously.

See “Pitch Bend Range (Initial Default: 02)” on page E-59 for changing the bend range of the PITCH BEND wheel.

Never turn on keyboard power while the PITCH BEND wheel is rotated.

Using the MODULATION Wheel

Modulation applies vibrato, which modulates the pitch of a note. It works best with notes that are sustained (held) by keeping a keyboard key held down, especially when playing the melody with a violin or other similar tone.

To use the MODULATION Wheel

While playing melody notes with your right hand, rotate the MODULATION wheel with your left to apply vibrato to the notes.

The amount of vibrato applied depends on how far you rotate the MODULATION wheel upwards. Setting the wheel to its neutral position (rotated as far downwards as it can go) turns vibrato off.

NOTES

Modulation can be used to add greater expression to sustained melody notes being played using a violin, synthetic reed, or other similar tone.

Modulation affects different tones in different ways.

All of this means that you get full, realistic accompaniments for the melody notes you play with your right hand, creating the mood of an one-person ensemble.

About the MODE Button

Use the MODE button to select the accompaniment mode you want to use. Each press of the MODE button cycles through the available accompaniment modes as shown in the illustration below.

Selecting a Rhythm

This keyboard provides you with 120 exciting built-in rhythms that you can select using the following procedure.

To select a rhythm

1. Find the rhythm you want to use in the keyboard’s Rhythm List and note its rhythm number.

2. Press the RHYTHM button.

3. Use the number keys to input the three-digit rhythm number for the rhythm you want to select.

Example: To select “042 JUNGLE” press 0, 4 then 2.

J u n g l e

NOTES

Always input three digits for rhythm numbers, including any leading zeros if necessary (as in 032). The rhythm number input display clears after a few seconds if you don’t input three digits.

You can also change the displayed rhythm number using [+] and [–].

The 10 rhythm numbers 120 to 129 are provided for storage of rhythm patterns created by you using the Pattern Sequencer. You can also recall these rhythms using the procedure described above. Simply input a rhythm number from 000 to 119.

Rhythms 110 through 119 (FOR PIANO II) are made up of chord accompaniments only, without drum or other rhythm sounds. Because of this, these rhythms do not sound while auto accompaniment is turned off (all the indicator lamps above the MODE button are off). You can specify chords by using these rhythms while auto accompaniment is turned on (indicated when one of the indicator lamps above the MODE button is lit) or with Free Session.

Playing a Rhythm

Press the START/STOP button to start play of the currently selected rhythm. You can then play along with the rhythm on the keyboard. To stop rhythm play, press START/STOP again.

NOTE

Chords will sound along with the rhythm if any of the three accompaniment mode lamps above the MODE button is lit. If you want to play the rhythm pattern without chords, press the MODE button until all of the lamps are off.

the major chord key.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

It makes no difference whether you press black or white keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor and seventh chords.

FINGERED

FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The following describes the FINGERED “Accompaniment keyboard” and “Melody keyboard”, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using FINGERED.

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for details on playing chords with other roots.

*1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root. *2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

NOTES

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*2 above, 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.

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.

Using Variation Rhythm Patterns

In addition to the standard rhythm pattern, you can also switch to a secondary “variation” rhythm pattern for a bit of variety .

To change to the variation rhythm pattern

1. Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm play.

2. Press the VARIATION/FILL-IN button to switch to the variation pattern for the rhythm you are using.

NOTE

To switch back to the normal (non-variation) rhythm pattern, press the NORMAL/FILL-IN button.

To insert a fill in into a variation rhythm

While a variation rhythm pattern is playing, press the VARI- ATION/FILL-IN button to insert a fill in pattern for the variation rhythm you are using.

Synchro Starting Accompaniment with Rhythm Play

You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard.

PREPARATION

Select a rhythm and set its tempo.

Select the accompaniment mode you want to use.

To use synchro start

1. Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button to put the keyboard into synchro start standby.

2. Play a chord on the accompaniment keyboard.

The rhythm pattern starts to play automatically as soon as you play a chord.

NOTES

Only the rhythm plays (without chords) if all the lamps above the MODE button are off.

If you press the INTRO button before playing anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically with an intro pattern when you play something on the keyboard.

To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button one more time.

Finishing with an Ending Pattern

You can end your performances with an ending pattern that brings the rhythm you are using to a natural-sounding conclusion.

To finish with an ending pattern

While the rhythm is playing, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button.

This causes the ending pattern to play, which brings rhythm accompaniment to an end.

733A-E-027A

NOTE

The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on when you press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. If you press the button before the second beat of the current measure, the ending pattern starts playing immediately. Pressing the button at any point in the measure after the second beat results in the ending pattern playing from the beginning of the following measure.

Using Auto Harmonize

When you are using Auto Accompaniment, Auto Harmonize automatically adds three additional notes to your melody in accordance with the chord that is being played. The result is a harmony effect that makes your melody line richer and fuller.

To use Auto Harmonize

1. Use the MODE button to select FINGERED or CASIO CHORD as the accompaniment mode.

About Auto Harmonize notes and tones

The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes,” while the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “harmonize notes.” Auto Harmonize normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the Mixer (page E-28) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes.

The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 2, so change Channel 2 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.

In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-30 for details on these procedures.

NOTES

The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on Auto Harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.

Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes the harmonize note tone to the same setting.

Using One-touch Preset

One-touch preset automatically makes the settings listed below in accordance with the rhythm pattern you are using.

4.Start rhythm and Auto Accompaniment, and play something on the keyboard.

Accompaniment is played using the one touch preset settings.

Using Free Session

This keyboard comes pre-programmed with a collection of “Free Sessions,” which are Auto Accompaniments that automatically match chord progression, tone, tempo and other settings to the currently selected rhythm pattern. Starting a Free Session causes the entire keyboard to become a melody keyboard for play along with the repeating chord progression of the Free Session.

Pre-programmed settings in accordance with the selected rhythm pattern are used whenever Free Session is turned on.

2. Press the FREE SESSION button.

The lamp above the button lights to indicate that Free Session is turned on.

3.Press the START/STOP button.

This starts the repeating chord progression of the preset Auto Accompaniment to match the selected rhythm.

Press START/STOP again if you want to stop the progression.

4.To turn off Free Session, press the FREE SESSION button again.

The lamp above the FREE SESSION button is not lit when Free Session is turned off.

NOTES

The default root note of the first chord is C (See “Free Session Chord Progression Chart” on page A-2 for details). You can change to a different root by pressing the corresponding key within the accompaniment keyboard instead of START/STOP in the above procedure.

You can also use the INTRO, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/FILL-IN, and SYNCHRO/ENDING buttons while Free Session accompaniment is playing.

Tone and tempo settings can be changed while a Free Session Auto Accompaniment is playing. The rhythm pattern can also be changed while a Free Session Auto Accompaniment is playing, but the chord progression does not change in this case unless you stop Auto Accompaniment and restart it.

You must stop the Auto Accompaniment to change the root note of the first chord.

Changing to a rhythm pattern with a different meter can affect chord change timing.

Auto Accompaniment patterns are made up of five parts, named: Chord 1, Chord 2, Chord 3, Bass, and Rhythm. You can turn these parts on and off to create exactly the type of accompaniment pattern you want. Parts are turned on and off using channel buttons 6 through 10. The table below shows the relationship between accompaniment parts and channel buttons.
