About the backup battery
This product contains a backup battery that prevents the
contents of internal memory from being lost when the
power is turned off. If the [TOUCH] switch indicator
blinks when the power is turned on, the battery must be
replaced. Please contact a nearby Korg dealer or a Korg
service center.
❍ When you press the [TOUCH] switch, it will stop
blinking.
About Recorder data
Since it is possible for the contents of memory to be
accidentally lost, you should save important data on an
external data filer (storage device) etc. (ꢀp.21).
Korg will accept no responsibility for any damages that
may result from loss of data.

Main features
Parts of the C-4500 and their function
A wide variety of sounds
(ꢀp.11)
Six different expressive and high-quality sounds,
including a concert grand piano, are produced by
Korg's proprietary HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis
system. You can use the Layer or Split functions to play
two sounds simultaneously.
Effects
(ꢀp.11)
The C-4500 provides built-in digital effects that can
simulate the reverberation of a concert hall or add rich
spaciousness.
Pedal effects
(ꢀp.12)
1
C
The C-4500 has the same three pedals as on an acoustic
piano: damper, sostenuto, and soft. The damper pedal
of the C-4500 also simulates the resonances that occur
in the strings of an acoustic piano. The damper pedal
and soft pedal allow half-pedaling techniques, where
the amount of effect can be adjusted by the depth with
which you press the pedal.

used to make various other settings.
MIDI capability
(ꢀp.19)
The C-4500 supports MIDI, the standard that allows
musical data to be transferred between musical instru-
ments and computers. MIDI allows two or more
devices to control or be controlled by each other, and
also allows you to use the C-4500 as a 16-part multi-
timbral tone generator.

This allows you to precisely match the pitch when
playing with other instruments.
The pitch can be adjusted in 0.5 Hz steps over a range
of 427.5–452.5 Hz (Hertz).
8. Selecting a temperament
There are numerous classical compositions that were
composed using temperaments that differ from the
“equal temperament” commonly used today.In order
to reproduce the original sound of such compositions,
the C-4500 provides Kirnberger and Werckmeister
classical temperaments, in addition to the equal
temperament widely used on keyboard instruments
today, allowing you to select from a total of three
temperaments.
Raising the pitch
❍ Hold down the [TOUCH] switch, and press the
[PART 2] switch.
Each time you press the switch, the pitch will be
raised approximately 0.5 Hz.
Werckmeister
This is the Werckmeister III scale invented by Andreas
Werckmeister, the German organist and music theore-
tician. This scale was created in the later Baroque
period to allow relatively free transposition.
+
Kirnberger
This is the Kirnberger III scale invented by Johann
Phillip Kirnberger in the early 18th century, and is
used mainly for tuning harpsichords.
Lowering the pitch
❍ Hold down the [TOUCH] switch, and press the
[PART 1] switch.
Equal temperament
Each time you press the switch, the pitch will be
lowered approximately 0.5 Hz.
Nearly all keyboard instruments today use equal
temperament. This temperament spaces all semitones
at equal distances, and allows identical scales to be
played in any key.
+
Changing the temperament
❍ Hold down the [TOUCH] switch, and press
either the [ORGAN] or [STRINGS] sound
selector switch to select the desired tempera-
ment.
Restoring the original pitch
❍ Hold down the [TOUCH] switch, and simulta-
neously press the [PART 1] and [PART 2]
switches.
The pitch will return to the original setting
(A4=440 Hz)
Werckmeister
Kirnberger

Returning to equal temperament
❍ Hold down the [TOUCH] switch, and press the
[Sound selector] switch whose indicator is lit.
When the power is turned on, equal temperament will be
selected automatically.
MeMO
About stretched tuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance,
[PIANO 1] and [PIANO 2] use a “stretched tuning”
that makes the notes of the lower range slightly flatter
than equal temperament, and the upper range slightly
sharper.

2. Connecting MIDI equipment
Connecting other devices
What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a
world-wide standard that allows a variety of musical
data to be exchanged between electronic musical
instruments and computers, etc.
1. Connecting a synthesizer or audio system
You can connect another keyboard, module or CD
player into this instrument so that sound from the
other device can be heard through the speakers/
headphones of the C-4500, or connect the C-4500 to
your audio system to record your playing on a tape
recorder, etc.
By playing the C-4500, you can sound other instruments
that are connected via MIDI. Sound selections and
damper pedal operations etc. that you perform on the C-
4500 will also control the connected MIDI device.
You can also control the C-4500 from another MIDI
keyboard or sequencer (automatic playback device),
causing the C-4500's internal tone generator to sound.
By combining two or more MIDI devices, you can
enjoy more colorful ensembles. MIDI is also used to
save the recorder data of the C-4500.
This section will explain how MIDI can be used in
ways relating to the C-4500. If you would like to learn
more about MIDI, please refer to one of the many
introductory books on MIDI that are commercially
available.
INPUT jacks (L/MONO, R)
These jacks can be connected to the output jacks of
another instrument (synthesizer etc.) or audio device,
so that its sound can be heard through the speakers of
the C-4500. To adjust the volume, use the volume
control of the connected instrument or audio device.
OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R)
These jacks can be connected to the input jacks of an
audio device to produce louder volumes, or to record
your playing on a tape recorder etc. To adjust the
volume, use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider of the C-
4500.
MIDI connections
Special MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data.
These cables are connected between the MIDI connec-
tors of the C-4500 and the MIDI connectors of the
external MIDI device to (or from) which you want to
transfer data. There are two types of MIDI connector.
MIDI connectors (IN, OUT)
These connectors can be connected to another MIDI
device such as a synthesizer, sequencer, or rhythm
machine, to trigger or exchange various types of data.
Refer to “2. Connecting MIDI equipment,” below.
If the PC/MIDI select switch is in the MIDI
position, be sure that MIDI cables are connected to
the MIDI jacks. If the PC/MIDI select switch is in
the PC position, first turn off the power of the C-
4500, and then set the PC/MIDI select switch to the
MIDI position.
PC (TO HOST) connector
This connector can be connected to your computer.
For details refer to p.19.
PC/MIDI select switch
This switch selects whether you can use the MIDI
connectors or the PC (TO HOST) connector.
MIDI IN connector
The setting of the PC/MIDI select switch must be
changed only when the power is off.
MIDI messages are received at this connector.
This connector can be used to play the C-4500's
sounds from an external MIDI device (MIDI keyboard
or sequencer etc.). Use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI IN of the C-4500 to the MIDI OUT of the
external MIDI device.
Please do not attempt to use the PC connector at the
same time as the MIDI connectors. Use only the
connector(s) selected by the PC/MIDI select switch.
If both sets of connectors are used, or if a set of
connectors other than the selected setting is used,
the device connected to the C-4500 may malfunc-
tion.
MIDI OUT connector
MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector.
The MIDI messages transmitted when you play the
keyboard of the C-4500 can be transmitted to an
external MIDI device to control it. Use a MIDI cable
to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the C-4500 to
the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device.

MIDI channel
Program changes
When you have finished making MIDI connections,
set the C-4500 and the connected MIDI device to the
same MIDI channel. There are sixteen MIDI channels:
1–16.
Program change messages can be transmitted from the
C-4500 to a connected MIDI device to select sounds,
or transmitted from a connected MIDI device to select
sounds on the C-4500.
❍ Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press a note in the range of C2–D#3
that corresponds to the desired MIDI channel.
Transmitting program changes
Program numbers on a connected external MIDI
device can be switched from the C-4500.

The pitch or tone of piano sounds is wrong
in certain key ranges
Troubleshooting
•
The piano sounds of the C-4500 are designed to
simulate the sounds of a real piano as accurately as
possible. For this reason, it may sound as though
there is something unusual about the pitch or tone,
such as an emphasis in the overtones of certain
ranges. This is not a malfunction.
Power does not turn on
•
Is the power cable connected to an appropriate AC
outlet? (ꢀp.7)
•
•
Is the power switch turned on? (ꢀp.7)
If the power still does not turn on, disconnect the
power cable from the AC outlet, and contact a
nearby Korg service center.
Pedal effects do not apply correctly
•
Has the pedal connector been disconnected?
(ꢀp.23)
No sound
•
•
•
Is the [MASTER VOLUME] slider raised? (ꢀp.7)
Have headphones been plugged in? (ꢀp.7)
Has the currently selected part been muted?
(ꢀp.15)
Cannot record
•
Is there sufficient space on the recorder? (ꢀp.15)
•
Make sure that the Local setting is turned ON.
(ꢀp.17)
An external device does not respond to
transmitted MIDI data
•
Make sure that MIDI cable or special PC connec-
tion cable connections are correct. (ꢀp.16)
Make sure that the C-4500 is transmitting MIDI
data on the channel that the receiving device is set
to receive. (ꢀp.17)
Notes are interrupted
•
The sounds of the C-4500 are produced by sam-
pling (recording) the sounds of actual instruments,
and processing or analyzing them. Some sounds
play one piece of sampled data when a note is
played (mono), while other sounds play two pieces
(stereo).
•
Cannot set the synchronization frequency
•
The [PIANO 1] sound is stereo, so the maximum
number of notes that can be played simultaneously
(i.e., the polyphony) will be 32 notes, even if the
damper pedal is pressed. For other sounds, the
polyphony is 64 notes.
Is the PC/MIDI select switch in the MIDI position?
(ꢀp.19)
If this is in the MIDI position, the synchronization
frequency will always be set to 31.25 kbps.
When using the Layer function to play two sounds
simultaneously, the polyphony will differ depend-
ing on whether the sounds are mono or stereo. For
example if a mono sound that uses one sample is
played together with a stereo sound that uses two
samples, the polyphony will be 21 notes. When
using the Layer function, or when recording
multiple parts on the recorder, be aware of how the
sounds are combined in order to make the most
effective use of the available polyphony.
