To disable Auto Power Off and power on
alert
Power Requirements
Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure
that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not
lost.
Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard
to disable Auto Power Off and power on alert.
Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through
the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries.

not turn off automatically and no alert is performed no
matter how long it is left with no operation being
performed.
Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh
batteries are loaded in the keyboard.
Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before
replacing batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.
Auto Power Off and power on alert are enabled again
when you manually turn off power and then turn it back
on again.
Settings and Memory Contents
Settings
Tone, rhythm, and other “main keyboard settings” in effect
when power is turned off manually with the POWER button
or automatically by Auto Power Off remain in effect when
you next turn power back on.
Main Keyboard Settings
Main keyboard settings are: tone number, layer, split,
split point, touch response, rhythm number, tempo,
accompaniment volume, General MIDI mode on/off,
accomp MIDI OUT on/off, Sustain/Assignable jack
setting, keyboard channel, and Song Bank number.
Memory Contents
In addition to the above settings, data stored using the song
memory function is also retained.
Electrical Power
The settings and memory data described above are retained
as long as the keyboard is being supplied with electrical
power. Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not
loaded or when loaded batteries are dead cuts off the
keyboard’s electrical power supply. This causes all settings to
be initialized to their factory defaults and clears all data
stored in memory.

Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a
commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug
on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the
standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo
plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo
channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input
selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually
marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that
comes with your audio equipment for full details.

SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal
J
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.
J
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the
keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.
J
Sostenuto Pedal
As with the sustain pedal function described above,
depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be
sustained.
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.
This difference between a sostenuto pedal 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.
J
Soft Pedal
Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being
played.

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 24-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

Basic Operations
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 12-note
polyphony.
Using the Metronome
When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the
number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell
sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click
sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the
perfect tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment
(rhythm).
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.
To start the metronome
1.
Press the METRONOME button to start
sounding the metronome.
Turning the Key Light System
On and Off
2.
Press the BEAT button and then use the
number buttons or [+] and [–] to change the
number of beats per measure.
Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key
light system on or off.
You can specify the number of beats per measure
as a value from 1 to 6.
To turn the key light system on and off
1.
Press the KEY LIGHT button to toggle the key
light system on and off.
The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not
sound while one beat per measure is specified. All beats
are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice
with a steady beat, without worrying about how many beats
there are in each measure.
The KEY LIGHT pointer disappears when the
key light system is turned off.
3.
Use the TEMPO buttons to set the tempo.
Press
to increase the tempo (make if faster) or
to decrease it (make it slower).
The key light system is turned on automatically whenever
you turn on keyboard power.

metronome is operating or activating the metronome while
either of the two above operations is already in progress

types. The following describes the FINGERED

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, can be used for both melody and chords.

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-4 for details on
playing chords with other roots.

The following are examples of
chords that use C as the bass note.
*1. Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is
the root.
*2. The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th
G.
Other Chords
*1
Except for the chords specified in note above, inverted
fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G)
will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.
*2
Except for the exception specified in note 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.
Example:
To play the chord C major.
Any of the fingerings shown in the illustration below
will produce C major.
When the key light system is turned on, the keys of the
accompaniment keyboard light to show the chord you
played. Though the chord is the same, the form of the
chord (the keys that light) may differ from the one you used
(the keys you pressed). If you play C Major using the
inverted chord form E-G-C, for example, the keys for C-E-
G will light.
As with the FINGERED mode (page E-23), you can play
the notes that form a chord in any combination (1).

The following procedure describes how to use synchro start.
Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to
use, set the tempo, and use the MODE switch to select the
chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO
