Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is recommended.

• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page EN-3 for information about options.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E95100L

Household power outlet

AC adaptor

• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

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

• To prevent breaking of the wire, take care to avoid putting any type of load on the power cord.

No bending! No winding!

• Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the product’s 9.5V DC terminal. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

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 this Digital Keyboard, as well as the microphone (WK-240 or WK-245) or external device (CTK-4400) being connected, are all turned off.

Connect a microphone or external device to the Digital Keyboard.

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

Sampling and Playing a Melody Sound (Melody Sampling)

Use the procedures in this section to sample a sound and play it as the melody part on the Digital Keyboard.

• Up to five sampled sounds can be stored in Digital Keyboard memory as tone numbers 601 through 605. Simply select the tone number where the sound you want is located to assign the sound to the keyboard.

What you should do next depends on your Digital Keyboard model as described below.

• CTK-4400: Output sound from the external device.

• WK-240, WK-245: Output the sound in the direction of the microphone.

Sampling will start automatically.

• Sampling will not start if the volume of the sound is too low.

To sample a sound

Press bn (TONE) and then use br (10-key) to enter the tone number (601 to 605) where you want to store the sampled sound.

• 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 EN-26 for more information.
