Keyboard split tones  
PERCUSSION (Tone 99) assigns 35 percussion sounds and  
five voice sounds to the keyboard as shown below. The  
sounds assigned to each key are indicated above the  
keyboard.  
Some of the preset tones split the keyboard and assign two  
or more sounds. With such a preset tone, the sound produced  
depends on what position of the keyboard you play. For  
example, BASS/PIANO (tone 90) puts BASS on the left and

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.

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes  
you can play at the same time. This keyboard has 12-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 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 6-note  
polyphony.

Other Useful Functions  
In step 2 of the above operation, you could also use the number  
buttons 0 to 5 to specify C through F.  
To change the key of the keyboard  
The transpose feature of this keyboard lets you raise or lower  
its key in semitone increments. This means you can easily  
match to suit someones voice, and you can eliminate sharps  
and flats from music making it easier to play.  
Pressing both of the TEMPO buttons (  
/
) at the same time  
returns the transpose setting to C(0).  
The transpose setting is automatically set to C(0) whenever  
you turn keyboard power on.  
The transpose setting is automatically set to C(0) whenever  
you press the SONG BANK button.  
The pitch of a transposed note depends on the tone you are  
using. If the transpose operation causes a note to exceed the  
range of the tone you are using, the same note in the highest  
octave of the tones range is substituted.  
1. While in any mode besides the Song Bank Mode  
(indicated when the SONG BANK indicator is  
lit), hold down the TONE button and press the  
RHYTHM button.  
The transpose operation does not affect tone number 99  
(PERCUSSION) or auto-accompaniment rhythms.  
Transposing tones 75 through 79 and 90 through 96 changes  
the range of keys to which each of the tones is assigned.  
The transpose setting is automatically set to C(0) whenever  
you press the DEMO button.  
Perform step 2 within five seconds after performing  
step 1.

NOTE  
Using auto-accompaniment  
The bottom (leftmost) note that you play determines the name  
of the chord. If the bottom note is a C for example, the keyboard  
produces a C chord.  
When pressing more than one accompaniment key, it makes  
no difference whether the keys to the right of the bottom note  
are white or black.  
This keyboard features 50 accompaniment patterns that let  
you add full accompaniments to your performances  
automatically. With auto-accompaniment, part of the  
keyboard is reserved as an accompaniment keyboard. As you  
play your chords on the accompaniment keyboard, the  
accompaniment pattern adjusts automatically to follow the  
progression you play.  
You get a choice between two different methods for chord  
play. FINGERED lets you play chords as you normally do,  
while CASIO CHORD makes it possible to play fully formed  
chords with one finger.

IMPORTANT!  
Improvising with the preset patterns  
If you play one or two notes only in the left hand, or three  
notes that do not make up a recognizable chord formation,  
no sound will be produced. The FINGERED mode requires  
a conventional three or four-note chord formation to  
produce an auto-accompaniment. Also, note that auto-  
chords only work in conjunction with rhythm patterns, and  
not independently of them.  
Pressing the START/STOP button to start rhythm play causes  
the normal version of the pattern to be played. You can also  
play a variation of the rhythm using the operation described  
below.  
Using fill-in rhythm  
You can insert a fill-in rhythm by pressing the SYNCHRO/  
FILL-IN button while an auto-rhythm plays.  
NOTE  
The above examples show only one of the possible fingerings  
for each chord. Note that you can play the notes that form a  
chord in any combination. Each of the following fingerings for  
example, produces the same C chord.  
Using Synchro start  
You can start the rhythm and accompaniment pattern at the  
same time, with your play of the accompaniment keyboard.  
To do this, follow the steps below.

Contents During 3-step Lesson Play  
Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune (00 to  
84) for 3-step lesson play, the key lighting system shows you  
which keys to press, while the display shows you the  
fingerings.  
Note length is not indicated when you are using two-hand tunes  
(85 to 99) with 3-Step Lesson Steps 1 and 2. As soon as you  
press a lit key, it goes out and the next key to be played starts  
to flash.  
Note length is indicated by the key light system when you use  
a two-hand tune with Step 3. In this case, the next key to be  
pressed does not flash when you press a lit key and the next  
finger number does not appear on the display. Only the current  
finger number is shown.  
Note Pitch  
The keyboard key that should be pressed lights. The fingers  
you should use to play the notes are also shown on the display.  
Voice Fingering Guide  
Note Length  
Voice fingering guide uses a simulated human voice to call  
out fingering numbers during Step 1 and Step 2 one-hand  
part practice. If you need to press a key with your thumb, for  
example, voice fingering guide says, One!In the case of a  
chord to be played with your thumb, middle and little finger,  
voice fingering guide says, One, three, five!”  
Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be  
played. The fingerings also remain on the display for the  
length of the note.  
Next Note  
The keyboard key for the next note to be played flashes, while  
a number appears on the display near the finger you should  
use to play the next note.  
Voice Fingering Guide calls out fingerings only when you do  
not press the proper key when you should.  
Series of Same Pitch Notes  
To turn voice fingering guide on and off  
Use the VOICE button to turn voice fingering guide on and  
off.  
The keyboard key light turns off momentarily between the  
notes and lights again for each successive note. The fingerings  
also turn off and back on again.

Turning Off Key Lighting  
Timing Indicator  
The timing indicator helps you become familiar with tunes  
you are playing for the first time by indicating the timing of  
notes you play on the keyboard. Timing is easier to see when  
you use a slow tempo during lesson play.  
1. Press the KEY LIGHT button.  
The KEY LIGHT indicator disappears when the key  
light system is turned off.  
Press the KEY LIGHT button again to turn key lighting  
back on.  
Using the Timing Indicator  
The timing indicator shows the timing of notes contained in  
the currently selected part (R or L). Notes are indicated as  
two-segment blocks that scroll from the top of the display,  
down to the bottom. A note is played when its block reaches  
the bottom of the display.  
KEY LIGHT indicator  
NOTE  
Key lighting turns on automatically in any of the following cases:  
When keyboard power is turned on.  
When demo tune play is started.  
When the SONG BANK button is pressed in the normal mode  
(page E-22).  
Upcoming note  
timing  
When the power on alert function operates (page E-13).  
Number of Simultaneously Lit Keys  
Up to four keyboard keys can be lit at the same time.  
Note played here  
Each two-segment block can indicate one or more notes,  
depending on the tune you are playing.  
To change the tone used for the melody  
of a Song Bank tune  
NOTE  
The Timing Indicator shows note timing whenever you play back  
a Song Bank tune and during a 3-Step Lesson.  
Note that the Timing Indicator shows approximate timing only.  
During a tune, the indicated timing can be anywhere from an  
eight note to a 32nd off of actual timing.  
1. Following step 3 of the procedure on page E-22,  
press the TONE button.  
Both the SONG BANK indicator and TONE indicator  
appear, along with the tone number and name of the  
tone that is currently assigned to the keyboard.  
2. Input a value to select the tone you want to use.  
NOTE  
Selecting another Song Bank tune switches the tone setting to  
the newly selected tunes preset melody tone.  
The tone assigned to the keyboard is the same one specified  
for the melody of the Song Bank tune.  
The above procedure can be used to change the Song Bank  
melody tone before starting play or while play is already in  
progress.  
You can also change the tone of two-hand tunes (tune numbers  
85 to 99). Note however, that selecting a sustainable tone (like  
an organ tone) when using 3-Step Lesson Step 1 or Step 2 (in  
which accompaniment waits for correct input from you before  
proceeding), can cause notes of the auto accompaniment to  
be sustained while the keyboard is waiting for your input. If this  
happens, play something on the keyboard to stop the sustained  
note.

STEP 2  
Step 1: Master the timing  
You can press the ONE KEY PLAY buttons or any of the  
keyboard keys to play along with the melody (right hand  
part) of the Song Bank tune. You do not have to worry about  
pressing the right key, so you can concentrate on getting the  
timing right.  
The correct note is played even if you do  
not press the key that is lit.  
1. Press the STEP 1 button.  
4. To stop play at any time, press the START/STOP  
button.  
When you do, the STEP 1 indicator appears.  
After a count sounds, the keyboard stands by and  
waits for you to play the first note of the tune. If the  
tune includes intro measures, the keyboard enters  
standby after the intro measures are complete.  
When you do, the STEP 1 indicator goes out.

Fingering  
2. Press the ONE KEY PLAY buttons to play each  
note of the tune.  
The accompaniment (left hand) part of the tune  
follows along as you play the melody (right hand)  
part.  
The keyboard key that corresponds to the next note  
to be played flashes, and lights when you play the  
note.  
The rhythm (percussion) part does not sound.  
3. Try pressing any one of the keyboard keys in  
place of the ONE KEY PLAY buttons.  
Pressing any keyboard key plays the correct melody  
(right hand part) note.  
Pressing more than one key at the same time counts  
as a single melody note. Pressing a key while another  
key is held down is counted as two melody notes.

Step 2: Master the melody  
Step 3: Play at normal speed  
With Step 2 you have to play the note that the 3-Step Lesson  
System indicates. But dont worry - the accompaniment (left  
hand part) waits until you can play the correct note before  
continuing. This means you can take your time and play at  
your own pace.

MIDI  
MIDI Channels  
What is MIDI?  
MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the  
same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI  
channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through  
16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you  
exchange data (key press etc.).  
Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must  
be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly  
receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to  
Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data,  
and all other channels are ignored.  
With this keyboard, messages received over MIDI Channels  
1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 can be used for multi-timbre play of up to  
five different instrument parts. The tone and volume settings  
for these five channels must be controlled by messages sent  
from an external device.  
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital  
Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for  
digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to  
exchange musical data between musical instruments and  
computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers.  
MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key  
press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.  
Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI  
to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations  
require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides  
you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.  
MIDI Connections  
Conversely, keyboard operations are sent to external devices  
over MIDI Channel 1.  
MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal  
of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine  
over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this keyboard to  
another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI cable to  
connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to the MIDI  
IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI messages  
back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI cable to connect  
the other machines MIDI OUT terminal to the MIDI IN  
terminal of this keyboard.  
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and  
playback the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must  
connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both  
machines in order to send and receive data.  
General MIDI  
General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source  
types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies  
such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available  
MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it  
possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same  
nuances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the  
manufacturer of the sound source.  
Though the sound source of this keyboard is not General  
MIDI compatible, you can still connect the keyboard to a  
computer or other MIDI equipment to playback General MIDI  
data that is widely available in stores, over computer  
networks, and from other sources.  
MIDI IN  
MIDI OUT  
MIDI IN MIDI OUT  
NOTE  
General MIDI data made up of a large number of parts may not  
play correctly on this keyboard.  
You will have most success playing back General MIDI data  
that has few parts and is made up of parts on channels 1, 2, 3,  
4, and 10.  
Computer etc.  
Messages  
There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI  
standard, and this section details the particular messages that  
can be sent and received by this keyboard.

RHYTHM  
TEMPO  
SONG BANK  
NOTE ON/OFF  
CONTROL CHANGE  
This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON)  
or released (NOTE OFF).  
This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes  
applied during keyboard play. CONTROL CHANGE data  
includes a control number (to identify the effect type) and a  
control value (to specify the on/off status and depth of the  
effect).  
A NOTE ON/OFF message includes a note number (to  
indicate note whose key is being pressed or released) and  
velocity (velocity=100 when the volume value of this unit is  
9 to 2, and velocity=75 when the volume value is 1 or 0).  
NOTE ON velocity is always used to determine the relative  
volume of the note. This keyboard does not receive NOTE  
OFF velocity data.  
Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the  
corresponding NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent by  
constant velocity from the MIDI OUT terminal.  
The following is a list of data that can be received using  
CONTROL CHANGE.

PROGRAM CHANGE  
This is the tone selection message. PROGRAM CHANGE can  
contain tone data within the range of 0 to 127.  
LOCAL CONTROL (Default: on) /GM mapping  
(Default: off)  
This setting determines whether or not the keyboard and  
sound source of this keyboard are connected internally. When  
recording to a computer or other external device connected  
to this keyboards MIDI IN/OUT terminal, it helps if you  
turn LOCAL CONTROL off.  
A PROGRAM CHANGE message (0 to 99) is sent out through  
this keyboards MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manually  
change its tone number. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE  
message from an external machine changes the tone setting  
of this keyboard.  
This keyboard can send tone data within the range of 00 to  
99 and receive tone data within the range of 0 to 127*. Each  
of the 128 General MIDI tones is automatically assigned to  
one of the keyboards 100 built-in tones as shown on page A-  
1. Select this setting when you want to listen to General MIDI  
data from a computer or other external equipment.  
on: Anything played on the keyboard is sounded by the  
internal sound source and simultaneously output as a  
MIDI message from the MIDI OUT terminal.  
oFF: Anything played on the keyboard is output as a MIDI  
message from the MIDI OUT terminal, without being  
sounded by the internal sound source. Turn LOCAL  
CONTROL off whenever you are using the MIDI THRU  
function of a computer or other external device. Also  
note that no sound is produced by the keyboard if  
LOCAL CONTROL is turned off and no external device  
is connected.  
* When GM mapping is turned on (page E-31). When turned  
off, tone data is received in the range of 0 to 99.  
NOTE  
Channel 10 is for the drum part only, and it does not receive  
Program Change messages. When receiving MIDI data, it  
sounds percussion sounds produced by this keyboard.  
NOTE  
PITCH BEND  
When you are using this keyboard in a stand-alone  
configuration, keyboard keys do not light while local control is  
turned off.  
This message carries pitch bend information for smoothly  
sliding the pitch upwards or downwards during keyboard  
play. This keyboard does not send pitch bend data, but it can  
receive such data.
