Introduction

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO musical instrument. This keyboard provides you with the following features and functions.

620 Tones Include Rich Advanced Tones

A total of 400 Advanced Tones are programmed with DSP tones to make them richer and more powerful. Advanced tones like Stereo Piano and Tremolo Electric Piano enhance the Piano and Electric Piano tones to create a totally new sound.

50 Drawbar Organ Tones

In addition to the 620 standards tones, the keyboard also includes 50 realistic drawbar organ tones. Drawbar organ tones can be controlled using nine digital drawbars. You can also select percussion or key click, and even edit the parameters of preset tone and save up to 100 original tones in user tone memory.

Flash Memory

Built-in Flash memory lets you expand your selection of tones and rhythms by downloading data from the CASIO MUSIC SITE, or by the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the keyboard. You can also store up to 200 SMF format music files for playback.

PIANO SETTING Button

The press of a button optimizes the keyboard setup for piano play.

166 Preset Rhythms + 16 User Rhythms

A selection of 166 rhythms includes accompaniments for everything from rock to pops and jazz.

You can also transfer accompaniment data from your computer and store up to 16 of them as user rhythms in keyboard memory.

Auto Accompaniment

Simply play a chord and the corresponding rhythm, bass and chord parts play automatically. One-touch Preset instantly recalls the most suitable tone and tempo settings to match the rhythm you are using.

Big, Information-packed Display

A big built-in display shows chord names, tempo setting, keyboard information, staff notation of notes played, and more for full support of all your keyboard play. A built-in backlight keeps the display easy to read, even in total darkness.

Song Memory

Record up to six parts in memory, along with their tone, volume, pan position, and other parameters for later playback. Realistic ensemble play can also be created using the Auto Accompaniment function.

Synthesizer Mode

Edit built-in sounds to produce your own original creations. Up to 120 of your own sounds can be stored in memory for recall, just like the built-in tones.

General MIDI compatibility

The General MIDI tones of this keyboard let you connect to a personal computer to enjoy “desktop music” capabilities. This keyboard can be used as a desktop music input device or sound source, and it's just the thing for playback of commercially available pre-recorded General MIDI music software.

Powerful effects

A collection of powerful effects, such as DSP, reverb, chorus, and more, give you total control over the type of sound you want. You can even change the parameters of an effect to create your own, original effects. A 4-band equalizer is also included.

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.

•Computer hard disk

See “Connection to a Computer” on page E-80.

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.

Connections

Musical Instrument Amplifier 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.

NOTE

•You can also connect the keyboard to a computer or sequencer. See “Connection to a Computer” on page E-80 for details.

Sustain/Assignable jack Terminal

You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below.

For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-71.

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.

Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal

In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button.

Accessories and Options

Use only the accessories and options specified for this keyboard. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire, electrical shock, and personal injury.

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

1While 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

1While 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

1While 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.

E-21

Using the Drawbar Organ Mode

Your keyboard has built-in “drawbar organ tones” that can be altered using nine digital drawbars whose operations are similar to the controls on a drawbar organ. You can also select percussion or key click. There is room in memory for storage of up to 100 user-created drawbar tone variations.

DSP effects are applied to the connection between the sound source and output. You can select distortion and modulation effects. You can create DSP effect setups and also transfer downloaded DSP data from your computer. The keyboard has memory that lets you store up to 100 DSP effect setups. 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.
