IMPORTANT!

• When running under battery power, be sure to replace batteries as soon as possible after the first signs of low battery power (dim power indicator lamp, dim display characters, etc.) Though the keyboard’s Flash memory is non-volatile (which means that data is not lost when power is interrupted), data can be lost if power suddenly fails while data is being written to flash memory*.

* While storing or deleting user data, while recording

with the synthesizer, while transferring data from a computer, etc.

Initializing the Keyboard

Initialization can be used to return keyboard parameters to their initial factory default settings, or to delete all data currently in keyboard memory. See page E-74 for more information about initialization.

Returning the keyboard to its initial factory defaults

You can use the CD-ROM that comes with the keyboard and your computer to return the keyboard’s flash memory and all of its parameters to their initial factory default settings. See “Bundled CD-ROM Data” on page E-82 for details.

Saving Setups and Memory Contents

About Flash memory

Your keyboard comes with built-in Flash memory, which can continue to hold data even when electrical power is totally cut off. This means that even after batteries go completely dead, you can attach the AC adaptor, turn on power, and still recall data stored in memory. You can back up keyboard memory contents and other data using the media described below.

• SD Memory Card See “Using an SD Memory Card” on page E-84.

• Floppy Diskette (WK-3800 only) See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-3800 Only)” on page E-85.

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.

• This difference between a sostenuto 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.

• When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers 600 through 619), each keyboard key is assigned a different percussion sound. See the separate B for details.

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 10-note polyphony.

Appendix

Changing Tones and Configuring DSP Effect Settings

This keyboard has only a single DSP sound source. Because of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple parts when layering or splitting tones (pages E-66, 67) can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all other parts. DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies the tone’s DSP line parameter setting to all parts. * The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied)

for the 400 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 399, and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset tones from 400 to 599. For information about other tones, see “Tone Types” on page E-19.

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.

NOTE

• 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: 12)” on page E-74 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

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. You can modify the modulation effect using DSP parameter 0 through 7. For more information, see “DSP Parameters” on page E-28.

• WK-3800/WK-8000

To use the MODULATION Wheel

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

• WK-3300

To use the MODULATION button

While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to press the MODULATION button.

• Vibrato is applied as long as the MODULATION button is depressed.

NOTE

• 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.

See “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-82 and “Saving the Settings of DSP Parameters” on page E-29 for more information.

REVERB

Reverb simulates the acoustics of specific types of environments. You can choose from among 16 different reverb effects, including “Room” and “Hall”.

CHORUS

The chorus effect gives sound greater depth by causing it to vibrate. You can choose from among 16 different chorus effects, including “Chorus” and “Flanger”.

EQUALIZER

The equalizer is another type of effect that you can use to make adjustments in tone quality. Frequencies are divided among a number of bands, and raising and lowering the level of each frequency band alters the sound. You can reproduce the optimal acoustics for the type of music you are playing (classics, for example) by selecting the applicable equalizer setting.

NOTE

• Whether or not an effect is applied to the parts that are sounding also depends on Mixer Mode Reverb Send, Chorus Send, and DSP on/off settings. See “Mixer Function” on page E-40 for more information.

• Playing a demo tune (page E-12) 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.

• A number of tones, called “Advanced Tones”, automatically turn on the DSP line for richer, higher quality sound. If you assign an Advanced Tone to a keyboard part (Channels 1 through 4), the DSP line turns on automatically and the DSP selection changes in accordance with the settings of the Advanced Tone. Also, the Mixer Mode DSP line on/off setting for the keyboard part to which the Advanced Tone is assigned is turned on.* * The Mixer DSP line setting is automatically turned off

for each part that does not have an Advanced Tone assigned. Because of this, DSP effects previously applied to these parts are cancelled, which can make their tone sound different. In this case, display the Mixer screen and turn DSP back on.

Applying Effects to Tones

After everything is the way you want, press the [왔] CURSOR button to store the effect.

• This will display a confirmation message asking whether you really want to save the data. Press the YES button to save the data.

• The message “Complete” appears momentarily on the display, followed by the tone or rhythm selection screen.

About the DSP Button

Checking the DSP button will tell you whether or not DSP is enabled for the tone that is currently selected for a part. The DSP button will be lit for a tone that is DSP enabled (DSP line ON), and unlit for a tone that is DSP disabled (DSP line OFF). For example, when you move each part while using the split/ layer function, the DSP button lights or goes out in accordance with that parts setting.

Pressing the DSP button toggles the tone of the part you are currently playing on the keyboard between enabled (DSP line ON) and disabled (DSP line OFF).

To turn DSP line on and off

Press the DSP button to toggle DSP line for the currently selected part on and off.

Saving the Settings of DSP Parameters

You can save up to 100 modified DSPs in the user area for later recall when you need them.

NOTE

• Except for the chords specified in note*1above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-EG) 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 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, functions as a melody keyboard that can be used for both melody and chords.

Saving User Tones

The group of tone numbers from 700 through 799 (User 001 through User 100) is called the “user area” because they are reserved for storage of user tones. After you recall a preset tone and change its parameters to create your own user tone, you can store it in the user area for later recall. You can recall your tones using the same procedure that you use when selecting a preset tone.

*1: You can select any Advanced Tone, preset tone, or user tone. User tone areas 700 through 799 initially contain the same data

as advanced tones 000 through 099.

*2: Area where data transferred from computer is stored (see “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-82). After transfer,

you can use the keyboard to edit parameters, but you can only overwrite existing parameters. You cannot save the data to another number.

*3: Area where data transferred from computer is stored (see “Internet Data Expansion System” on page E-82). Transfer only is

allowed, and no parameter editing is allowed.

*4: User tones created by modifying parameters of one of the preset tones (000 to 049). User drawbar organ tone areas initially

contain two sets of the same data as drawbar organ tones types 000 through 049.

NOTE

• You can create an original tone using a user tone that includes a waveform (tone number 800 to 819). In this case, the storage area is the same as the source tone area. For example, an original tone created using tone number 800 as a source tone is stored in user area number 800.

MODULATION Button Lamp

The MODULATION button lamp lights when the current modulation depth is at its greatest possible setting. This can occur either when the MODULATION button is depressed or released, depending on the current Modulation Depth parameter setting and the initial default modulation depth value of the tone you are currently using.

Modulation is applied like this:

Modulation is applied to the depth specified by the value assigned to the Modulation Depth parameter as long as the MODULATION button is depressed. Releasing the MODULATION button causes the modulation value to return to the initial default value for the tone being used.

Each press of the MODULATION button toggles modulation between the value assigned to the Modulation Depth Parameter and the initial default value for the tone being used.

NOTE

• If you store an original tone with the DSP line turned on (page E-50), simply recalling the tone automatically changes the DSP line, DSP type, and DSP parameter settings. This simplifies the recall of original tones that include a DSP effect.

User Tone Creation Hints

The following hints provide helpful advice on making user tone creation a bit quicker and easier. Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to create. Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are trying to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset tone that is similar.

■

Experiment with various different settings.

There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like. Let your imagination run free and experiment with different combinations. You may be surprised at what you can achieve.

Storing a User Tone In Memory

The following procedure shows how to store a user tone in memory. Once a tone is stored, you can call it up just as you do with a preset tone.

To name a user tone and store it in memory

Song Memory Function

This keyboard lets you record up to five separate songs in song memory for later playback. There are two methods you can use to record a song: real-time recording where you record the notes as you play them on the keyboard, and step recording where you input chords and notes one-by-one.

NOTE

• Layer and split cannot be used while standing by for recording or while recording is being performed in the Song Memory Mode. Also, layer and split are automatically turned off whenever the keyboard goes into record standby or starts recording.

Tracks

Keyboard song memory records and plays back much like a standard tape recorder. There are a total of six tracks, each of which can be recorded separately. Besides notes, each track can have its own tone number. Then when you play back the tracks together, it sounds like an entire six-piece band. During playback, you can adjust the tempo to change the speed of playback.

Specifying the Length of a Note

During step recording, the number buttons are used to specify the length of each note.

Note lengths

Use number buttons [1] through [6] to specify whole notes ( ), half notes ( ), quarter notes ( ), eighth notes ( ), 16th notes ( ), and 32nd notes ( ). Example: To specify a quarter note ( ), press [3].

Dots ( ) and triplicates ( )

While holding down the [7] (dot) or [9] (triplicate), use buttons [1] through [6] to input the lengths of the notes. Example: To input a dotted eighth notes ( ), hold down [7]

and press [4].

Ties

Input the first and then the second note. Example: To input , press [4] and then [8]. Next, press

[5]. This note will be tied to the next note you input (16th note in this example).

Rest

Hold down [0] and then use number buttons [1] through [9] to specify the length of the rest. Example: To input an eighth note rest, hold down [0] and press

[4].

• Pressing the [왘] CURSOR button inputs rests up to the

beginning of the next measure.

IMPORTANT!

• The length of the ending depends on the rhythm you are using. Check the length of the pattern you are using and set the length of the chord accordingly in step 6. Making the chord too short in step 6 can result in the ending pattern being cut off.

To step record chords without rhythm

Skip step 4. The specified chord of the length specified by the number buttons is recorded. A rest can be specified here, so an original chord pattern can be created.

To add chord accompaniment part way through rhythm play

In place of step 4 at the start of the recording, press VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/FILL-IN 2 button and input rests. Then in step 5, input the chords. Only rhythm is played where you input the rests, and then chord play starts after the rests.

Recording Multiple Tracks

Track 1 of the keyboard’s song memory records Auto Accompaniment and keyboard play. In addition, there are five other melody tracks that you can use to record melody parts only. You can record different tones to the melody tracks and build a full ensemble of instruments for your recordings. The procedure you use for recording to Tracks 2 through 6 is identical to the one you use when recording to Track 1.

Track 1 Step Recording Variations

The following describes a number of different variations you can use when recording to Track 1 using step recording. All of these variations are based upon the procedure described under “To record chords with step recording” on page E-57.

To start accompaniment with an intro pattern

In step 4, press INTRO/ENDING 1 or INTRO/ENDING 2 button after the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button.

To switch to a rhythm variation

In step 5, press VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/ FILL-IN 2 button immediately before inputting the chord.

To insert a fill in

In step 5, press VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/ FILL-IN 2 button at the measure or beat immediately before the chord or beat where you want to insert the fill in.

To insert an ending

In step 5, press INTRO/ENDING 1 or INTRO/ENDING 2 button at the measure or beat immediately before the chord where you want to insert the ending.

NOTE

• Use the procedure under “Correcting Mistakes While Step Recording” on this page to correct input mistakes you make during step recording.

• You can add on to a track that already contains recorded data by selecting that track in step 2 of the above procedure. Doing so automatically locates the step recording start point at the first beat immediately following the previously recorded data.

• Whenever you are recording to Tracks 2 through 6, the entire keyboard functions as a melody keyboard, regardless of the current MODE button setting.

• When playing back data recorded with Advanced Tones at the beginning of multiple tracks, the keyboard uses the DSP type of the Advanced Tone that is recorded in the track with the largest track number.

• When playing back a track that was recorded with an Advanced Tone selected, they may be a slight delay before the first note of the track sounds. If this happens, try to insert a very short rest at the beginning of the track.

Track Contents After Step Recording

In addition to notes and rests, the following data is also recorded to the track during step recording. This data is applied whenever the track is played back.

Correcting Mistakes While Step Recording

Memory data can be thought of as a musical score that progresses from left to right, with the input point normally at the far right of the recorded data. The procedure described here lets you move the input point to the left in order to make changes in data you have already input. Note, however, that moving the input point to the left and changing data automatically deletes all of the data recorded to the right of the input point.

To correct mistakes while step recording

Without exiting step recording, use the [왗] CURSOR button to move the input point to the left.

To turn touch response on and off

Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

• This causes the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION indicator (the FUNCTION indicator on the WK-8000) to appear on the display.

Use the [왗] and [왘] CURSOR buttons to display the touch response setting screen.

Touch

Use the [+] and [–] buttons to select the touch response sensitivity level.

•“1” outputs powerful sound even with light key pressure, while “3” requires very heavy key pressure to output powerful sound.

• Pressing [+] and [–] at the same time returns sensitivity to the “2” setting.

• When you select “oFF”, the tone does not change regardless of how much pressure you apply to the keyboard.

NOTE

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –24 (two octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards).

• The transpose setting also affects playback from song memory and Auto Accompaniment.

• The allowable pitch range you can transpose within depends on the tone you are using. When transpose results in a note that is higher than the allowable pitch range, the keyboard replaces the note with one of the following.

• The nearest note in the allowable pitch range

(regardless of the pitch of the original note)

• The same note in the nearest octave of the allowable

pitch range In the case of a note that is lower than the allowable pitch range, the note is replaced with the nearest note in the allowable pitch range (regardless of the pitch of the original note).

• After using Transpose to raise the keyboard to a high key, notes played at the highest range of the keyboard may not sound properly for certain tones.

NOTE

• Touch response not only affects the keyboard’s internal sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.

• Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note data do not affect the touch response setting.

Using the SMF Player

The letters “SMF” stand for Standard MIDI File, which is a file format that allows MIDI data to be shared between different software and sequencers. There are actually three SMF formats, named SMF 0, SMF 1, and SMF 2. This keyboard supports the SMF 0 format, which is the one that is most widely used today, and so all mentions of “SMF data” in this manual refer to SMF 0 format data. You can use your computer to transfer SMFs from the bundled CD-ROM to keyboard flash memory, or SMFs you have downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE. SMF format music data can be stored in the keyboard’s built-in Flash memory. Data stored in Flash memory can be played back using the SMF Player Mode. You can also load SMF data from an SD memory card or floppy diskette into the keyboard’s user area and then play it back using the SMF Player Mode. See “Saving Data” on page E-83 for details.

The follow shows the maximum number of files that can be stored on each type of media.

Flash Memory*1: 200 files* SD Memory Card: 255 files* Floppy Diskette (WK-3800 only): 112 (2DD diskette)*2 or 224 (2HD diskette) files*

*1Initially, your keyboard comes with three sample SMF tunes in memory.

001

SERENDIPITY WALTZ

002

THE ENTERTAINER

003

JESUS BLEIBET MEINE FREUDE

*2Note that the number of files you can store in memory also depends on the size of each file. If your files are very large, you may

be able to store fewer than the number of files indicated above.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any loss of data stored in Flash memory, or on an SD memory card or a floppy diskette (WK-3800 only).

Saving Data

Using an SD Memory Card

Your keyboard is equipped with an SD memory card slot that supports the use of SD memory cards that you can use to store tunes you transfer from your computer, song memory data you have stored in the keyboard's flash memory, and other data. This provides you with access to virtually unlimited volumes of data that you can instantly load whenever you need it.

● Supported SD memory Cards:

1GB or less (Cards with capacity greater than 1GB are not supported.)

IMPORTANT!

• Use only an SD memory card with this keyboard. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

Memory Card and Card Slot Precautions

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to carefully read all documentation that comes with the memory card for important information about how to handle it.

• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of data. After saving important data to memory card, be sure to use the write protect switch to protect the data against accidental changes or deletion.

• Avoid storing and using memory cards in the following types of locations. Such conditions can cause corruption of data stored on the card.

• Areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or

corrosive agents

• Areas subject to strong electrostatic charge or

electrical noise

• Whenever handling a memory card, make sure that you never touch its contacts with your fingers.

• If the data access lamp is lit and the message “Pls Wait” is on the display, it means that data on the memory card is being accessed by a save, read, or delete operation. Never remove the memory card from the card slot or turn off the keyboard while the card is being accessed. Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card or even damage the card slot.

• Never try to insert anything that is not an SD memory card into the Keyboard’s card slot. Doing so can cause malfunction of the keyboard.

• Inserting a memory card that is charged with static electricity into the card slot can cause malfunction of the keyboard. If this happens, turn the keyboard off and then back on again.

• A memory card that has been in the card slot for a long time may feel hot when you remove it. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• Note that a memory card has a limited service life. After long use, you may not be able to store data to, read data from, and/or delete data from a card. When this happens, you will need to purchase a new memory card.

CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss or damage to you or any third party arising out of the loss or corruption of data.

Using an SD Memory Card with the Keyboard

When using memory card with the keyboard, first be sure to format the card on the keyboard. See “Formatting External Storage Media” on page E-93 for details about formatting

Inserting and Removing a Memory Card

The WK-3800 supports use of both 3.5’ 2HD (1.44MB formatted) and 2DD (720KB formatted) diskettes. Use of other disk sizes and capacities is not supported.

Diskette Type Indicators

2HD ...... A 2HD diskette is marked with the letters “HD” in

the upper right corner of the front side. Also, there is a square hole in the lower right corner.

2DD ....... This type of diskette does not have a hole in the

lower right corner.

Write Protection

IMPORTANT!

• You can write protect a diskette so data on it cannot be deleted and no new data can be stored on the diskette. Also, a write protected diskette cannot be formatted. You can read data from a diskette regardless of whether or not it is write protected.

Write protect (hole open) Write enabled

(hole blocked with tab)

Data save, data delete, disk formatting are all enabled.

Hole open

Write protect tab

• When the write protect hole is open as shown in the illustration, you can read the contents of the diskette, but you cannot write data to or delete data from the diskette. After saving important data to a diskette, be sure to open its write protect hole to protect the data against accidental changes or deletion.

• The diskette that comes with the keyboard contains sample data. It is write protected to avoid accidental erasure or formatting. Make sure you handle this diskette carefully to avoid damaging or erasing its data.
