Playing the Digital Keyboard

Changing Keyboard Response to Touch Pressure (Touch Response)

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however, the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly. Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical instrument lets you control note volume without striving to apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano

Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Changing Touch Response Sensitivity

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of played notes change in accordance with playing speed. Select the setting that best matches your playing style.

Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “Touch” (page E-6).

Touch

Use bs (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select one of the three Touch Response sensitivity settings.

Off (oFF) Touch Response is turned off. Sound

volume is fixed, regardless of key press speed.

Type 1 (1) Normal Touch Response Type 2 (2) More sensitive Touch Response than Type 1

Indicator disappears when Touch Response is turned off.

Pressing fast produces louder notes.

Pressing slowly produces softer notes.

Do not try to use too much pressure.

Adjusting Display Contrast

Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “OTHER” (page E-6).

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Using the Metronome

The metronome lets you play and practice along with a steady beat to help keep you on tempo.

Start/Stop

Press 7.

This starts the metronome.

This pattern changes with each beat.

Press 7 again to stop the metronome.

Changing the Beats Per Measure

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.

• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure.

• When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.

Hold down 7 until the beats per measure setting screen appears on the display.

Changing the Metronome Sound Volume

The metronome volume setting is changed automatically with the volume level of the currently selected Auto Accompaniment or song. The metronome volume cannot be adjusted independently.

• For information about changing the Auto Accompaniment volume, see page E-40.

• For information about changing the song volume, see page E-28.

English

• If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the display will return to the screen displayed before you pressed

Use bs (10-key) to enter the number of beats

• The octave shift setting range is –2 to +2 octaves.

• When using Split (page E-13), you can individually set the left and right keyboard ranges to the pitches you want.

Keep pressing cq until the screen shown below appears on the display.

If you want to use Split, turn on Split before pressing cq.

• If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after this screen appears, the display will return to the previous screen automatically.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel to Shift the Pitch of Notes (WK-500 Only)

You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This technique makes it possible to produce effects that are similar to sounds produced when bending notes on a saxophone or electric guitar.

To play with the pitch bend wheel

While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the pitch bend wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

The amount the note bends depends on how much you rotate the pitch bend wheel.

• Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn on the Digital Keyboard.

Specifying the Pitch Bend Range

Use the following procedure to specify how much the pitch of the note changes whenever the pitch bend wheel is rotated upwards or downwards. You can specify a range from 0 to 12 semitones (one octave).

Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “OTHER” (page E-6).

■ About tracks

Tracks are numbered from 1 to 6.

• If you do not specify a track number when recording, recording is performed to Track 1 automatically.

In addition to what you play on the keyboard, the following information also is recorded.

•Track 1

Settings: Tone number, rhythm number, tempo, reverb, chorus, chords, layer/split settings, Auto Harmonize/Arpeggiator setting

Operations: Pedal, pitch bend wheel (WK-500 only), INTRO button, SYNCHRO/ENDING button, NORMAL/FILL-IN button, VARIATION/FILL-IN button

• Tracks 2 through 6

Tone number, pedal operation, pitch bend wheel operation (WK-500 only)

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard while recording is in progress will cause any data in recorder memory to be deleted.

• A new recording replaces (deletes) previously recorded contents.

■ Maintaining Data in Recorder Memory

After you save data in recorder memory, it will remain there as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. However, if you disconnect the AC adaptor when there are no batteries loaded, data in recorder memory will be deleted.

Tips for Maintaining Data

• Use both batteries and the AC adaptor together.

• Make sure that batteries with sufficient power are loaded whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor.

• Connect the AC adaptor to the keyboard and plug it into a power outlet before replacing batteries.

Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor or replacing batteries, first press

to turn off power.

SD Memory Card and Card Slot Precautions

• When using an SD memory card, make sure you observe all of the precautions in the instructions that come with it.

• SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that you can use to protect against accidental deletion of data.

• Avoid using an SD memory card under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card.

• Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and corrosive gas

• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise

• Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when loading it or removing it from the Digital Keyboard.

• While data is being stored to or recalled from an SD memory card, never perform any other Digital Keyboard operation or remove the SD memory card. Doing so can corrupt the data on the card and damage the card slot.

• Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge discharging from your fingers or the SD memory card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens, turn the Digital Keyboard off and then back on again.

• An SD memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Storing and Loading Digital Keyboard Memory Data

You can transfer sampled sounds, recorded songs, and other data in Digital Keyboard memory to a computer for storage. You also can load standard MIDI file (SMF) data, and Auto Accompaniment data you download from the CASIO website to the Digital Keyboard, which greatly expands the Song Bank songs and Auto Accompaniment patterns available to you. A special Data Manager application is required in order to transfer data to and from the Digital Keyboard.

Data Types Supported for Data Transfer

The same types of data that you can store to or recall from an SD memory card (page E-59) can be transferred to and from the Digital Keyboard. Note, that recorded song data can be transferred to a computer in the Digital Keyboard’s native format only. You cannot save recorded song data to a computer as a standard MIDI file (SMF format). With the WK-500 (only), you can save and recall scale memory data.

Downloading Data Manager

Go to the CASIO WORLDWIDE site at the following URL.
