Basic Operation

Using Tones

The following procedures describe everything you need to know about selecting and using tones.

To select a tone

Press the POWER button to turn on the digital piano power. Press one of the tone buttons to select the tone you want. Use the VOLUME slider to adjust the volume.

Main tone + Layered tone

To layer two tones
Main tone digital effects
To use the variation tone for the main tone and/or the layer tone, perform the required operation to turn on the variation tone(s) before starting the procedure below.
Layered tone digital effects
While holding down the tone button of the main tone, press the tone button for the layer tone.
This causes the indicator lamp of the main tone button to light, and the lamp of the layer tone button to flash. Whether the normal tone or variation tone is selected for the main tone and layer tone depends on the normal tone/variation tone setting of the tone button you press. The indicator lamp above the VARIATION button is lit when the variation tone is selected for the main tone.
Now try playing something on the keyboard.
Note should sound using both of the tones you selected.
To cancel layering, press any tone button.
If you change or turn off a digital effect while layering is turned on, the setting you make is saved to the main tones settings only. You cannot layer two tones that are assigned to the same tone button (for example: ELEC PIANO 1 + ELEC PIANO 2, or HARPSICHORD + VIBRAPHONE).

430A-E-015A

To adjust the volume of the main tone
To adjust the volume of the layer tone

More about tones

Polyphony This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Note, however, that the tones listed below are capable of only 32-note polyphony. GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO, HONKY-TONK, ELEC PIANO 1, HARPSICHORD, STRINGS 1, CHOIR, SYNTH-PAD, RIDE ACO BASS Touch Response The touch response feature causes changes in the volume and the sound of the tone in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like an acoustic piano. Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the original musical instrument normally produces the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied. Digitally Sampled Tones The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and in results produced when using effects. These differences are normal and do not indicate malfunction.
Hold down the SETTING button, and keep it depressed until you reach step 4 of this procedure. Press the ELEC PIANO 1 button.
Use one of the procedures below to set the split tone volume to a value in the range of 40 to 127.
Adjusting the Brilliance of a Tone
You can use the BRILLIANCE slider to adjust the clarity and sharpness of a tone to suit your music and personal preferences.
Slide the BRILLIANCE slider left and right to adjust the brilliance of a tone to the level that you want.
Moving the slider towards MELLOW produces a more mellow sound, while moving it toward BRIGHT produces a brighter sound.
The setting you make for the split tone volume remains in effect even if you change to another tone.

430A-E-018A

Using Digital Effects
This digital piano provides you with a selection of digital effects that you can apply to tones. The following provides general descriptions of each effect, but the best way to find out how they affect tones is to experiment for yourself.

Soft pedal Sostenuto pedal

Damper pedal

Pedal functions Damper pedal Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. In the case of the PIPE ORGAN and STRINGS tones, pressing this pedal sustains the notes played until you release the pedal.
Soft pedal Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.
* ( ) : the initial setting of the chorus type when chorus effect is turned on. You can change the above digital effect settings after you turn on power.
Selecting a tone automatically selects the digital effects currently assigned to it. Changes you make to digital effect settings are assigned to the currently selected tone only. Digital effect settings remain in effect until you turn off the digital piano power. Demo tunes have their own digital effect settings, which are automatically selected whenever you select a demo tune.
Sostenuto pedal Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.
The following shows how pedal effects are applied during different types of operations. While you are performing this type of operation: Song memory recording Song memory playback Demo tune play Music Library play Under the power on default setting, pedal effects are not applied to a split tone (page E-15). Perform the procedure below to apply pedal effects to a split tone. Notes played on the keyboard only Pedal effects are applied to:

To apply pedal effects to a split tone

Using the Metronome

The metronome provides a reference beat that you can use during your performances or practice sessions. You can change the beat and the tempo of the metronome. The illustration below shows the keyboard keys you use when configuring metronome settings. The names of the settings are also marked above the keyboard keys to which they are assigned.

2 METRONOME VOL keys

While holding down the SETTING button, turn pedal effects on or off by pressing one of the keyboard keys shown in the illustration below.

When you want to stop the metronome, press METRONOME again.
Pressing METRONOME again restarts the metronome sound using the current beat and tempo setting. If you want to change both the tempo and the beat before restarting the metronome, perform the above procedure here.

430A-E-022A

Using the Song Memory
This section describes how to record keyboard play to memory and playback data from song memory.

Recorded Data Storage

This digital piano has a lithium battery to supply power to retain memory contents even while power is off.* The life of the lithium battery is five years after the date of manufacture of the digital piano. Be sure to contact your CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced every five years. * Never turn off piano power while a record operation is in progress.

About the Song Memory

Song Memory Capacity
There are two song memory tracks named Track A and Track B. The two tracks can store a combined total of approximately 8,000 notes. Recording stops automatically and the indicator above the RECORD button goes out whenever memory becomes full.
If the data recorded in a single track uses up all the available Song Memory capacity, you will not be able to record anything in the other track. Recording new data to a track automatically deletes any data previously stored in that track. A lit track indicator means that the track already contains data. Turning off power while a record operation is in progress deletes anything recorded up to that point. CASIO shall not be held responsible for any losses by you or any third party due to loss of data caused by malfunction or repair of this digital piano, or by battery replacement.

Recorded Data

The following is a list of the data that can be recorded in song memory once recording starts. Anything you played on the keyboard (received MIDI data not recorded) Tone settings (including layered tones, layered tone volume, split tones, split tone volume, split point) and any tone setting changes Tempo and beat settings used during recording Pedal operations Reverb settings Chorus settings

When you want to stop playback, press PLAY/STOP again.
If you selected a single tune, playback stops automatically when the end of the tune is reached. If you selected tune number 99, tune playback continues until you press PLAY/STOP. To exit the Music Library mode, press the MUSIC LIBRARY so its indicator lamp goes out.

430A-E-027B

When you press the MUSIC LIBRARY button, the number of the song that was selected the last time you used the Music Library appears first. You can change the tempo of playback after you select a tune. You can return the tempo of a tune to its preset level by selecting the same tune again (step 2 of the above procedure). The following operations and settings can be performed while Music Library tune playback is in progress: Volume Brilliance Tempo Touch select Tone Left-hand part/right-hand part on and off Metronome Keyboard play Pedal operations Receipt of MIDI IN data is enabled while Song Lesson playback is in progress. Pressing the PLAY/STOP button while in another mode besides the Music Library Mode or Song Memory Mode enters the Music Library Mode and starts playback.
To turn the metronome on or off during playback
While holding down the SETTING button, turn the metronome on or off by pressing one of the keyboard keys shown in the illustration below.

C1 : ON B0 : OFF

B0 : Off (Pre-count sounds prior to playback only, no metronome during playback) C1 : On (Pre-count sounds prior to playback, and metronome sounds during playback) A note does not sound when you press a keyboard key while the SETTING button is depressed.
The power on default for the above setting is metronome on, which means that a pre-count sounds prior to playback, and the metronome sounds during playback.
Practicing Individual Parts (Part Lesson)
The left-hand part (or secondo part) and right-hand part (or primo part) are recorded separately for Music Library tunes. Because of this, you can turn off either part and play along with the other part on the keyboard. The terms primo and secondo refer to the parts of duet tunes.
Perform steps 1 and 2 of the procedure under To play back a Music Library tune on page E-25 to select the Music Library tune you want to practice. Set the tempo you want to use during the part lesson. Use the same procedure that you use to set the tempo of the metronome (page E-19).

430A-E-028A

To use Part Lesson
Press the PART L or PART R button to select the part you want to play on the keyboard.
Pressing either button causes the indicator above the other button to go out. ITo practice the right-hand (or primo) part, press the PART R button. PART R button indicator: Off PART L button indicator: On ITo practice the left-hand (or secondo) part, press the PART L button. PART R button indicator: On PART L button indicator: Off
Turn on the metronome, if you want.
Press METRONOME so the indicator above it is lit. Leave the indicator above METRONOME off if you do not want to use the metronome during your practice session.

To change the temperament
Hold down the SETTING button. Note that you must keep the SETTING button depressed until step 4, below. While still holding down the SETTING button, select the temperament by pressing one of the keyboard keys illustrated below.

430A-E-031A

Select a root by pressing one of the keys in the range shown in the illustration below. Remember to keep the SETTING button depressed.
The note for the keyboard key you press is applied as the root. If you press key F5, for example, the root becomes F.

About Temperaments

G Equal Temperament This tuning system is the most widely used for keyboard musical instruments in the world today. The octave is divided into 12 semitones that are equal in frequency ratio. With this system, you can perform in all the major and minor keys without any adjustment. Though we take this system for granted these days, it was a revolutionary development in the history of music. Equal Temperament tuning has been the most common system used in the world since the middle of the 18th Century. G Kirnberger III This is also one of the precursors to equal temperament. It is an evolution of just intonation and the mean-tone system, and all keys (from C-major to F -major) can be used for keyboard play. G Werckmeister Werckmeister is a famous theorist who also did research on equal temperament. This particular system is said to be a precursor to equal temperament, and all keys (from C-major to F -major) can be used for keyboard play. G Mean-Tone System This system was the first actually used for tuning of keyboard musical instruments. It was widely used starting from the Renaissance up until the second half of the 18th Century. During the days of Handel and Bach, it was employed for cembalos, organs, and pianos. G Pythagorean System This system was developed by the philosopher Pythagoras sometime during the 5th Century B.C. Most of the fifths in this system do not deviate from the pure (acoustically correct) intervals. The Pythagorean system is perfect within a small range of tones and in the simple keys, but it becomes inadequate in others. Despite this, this system was used for Middle Age religious music, which was performed (sung) using only the simple keys. G Just Intonation This system is one of the pure systems in which many of the fifths and thirds are acoustically correct. Try setting the root to C and playing C, E, G.

As shown in the illustration, press (b) in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Household power

Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the power cord. During Use Never pull on the cord with excessive force. Never repeatedly pull on the cord. Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or connector. The power cord should not be stretched tight while it is in use. During Movement Before moving the digital piano, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. During Storage Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it around the AC adaptor.

IMPORTANT!

Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this digital piano to any other device besides this piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction. Make sure the digital piano is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor. The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction. E-4

AC Plug Configurations

Depending on the geographic area, your digital piano may come with a second AC plug. Use the AC plug that matches the configuration of the wall outlet in your area. The AC adaptor is shipped from the factory with one of the AC plugs shown below installed.

To change the AC plug

Perform the following steps when you need to change the AC plug that is installed on the AC adaptor.
Slide the plug in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1, and remove it from the AC adaptor. Align the plug that matches the power outlet of your area with the AC adaptor slots. Slide it in place in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 2. Press the part indicated by the arrow in Figure 3 until the plug clicks securely into place.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)
Use commercially available connecting cords (Standard Plug 1, Pin Plugs 2) to connect as shown in Figure 1. Make sure that the end of the cord that you connect to the digital piano is a stereo standard plug. A monaural standard plug will result in output of only one of the two stereo channels. Normally, you should set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal where the digital piano is connected (AUX IN, etc.) Adjust volume using the digital pianos VOLUME controller.
Stereo standard plug Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

Connecting a Music Amplifier (Figure 2)
Connect the connecting cord* to one of the types of amplifiers shown in Figure 2.

Troubleshooting

Problem No sound is produced when I press a keyboard key. Cause 1. The VOLUME controller is set to MIN. 2. Headphones or an adaptor plug is plugged into one of the PHONES jacks. 3. MIDI Local control is turned off. 1. The digital pianos key setting is something other than 0. 2. Digital piano tuning is incorrect. 3. Octave shift is enabled. 4. A non-standard temperament setting is being used. Nothing happens when I press a pedal. Tones and/or effects sound strange. Turning power off and then back on again does not eliminate the problem. Example: Note intensity does not change even though I alter key pressure. I cannot transfer data after connecting the digital piano to a computer. The pedal cord is not connected. The Back up feature is turned on. Action 1. Rotate the VOLUME controller more towards MAX. 2. Disconnect whatever is connected to the PHONES jacks. 3. Turn on the Local control setting. 1. Change the key setting to 0, or turn digital piano power off and then back on again. 2. Adjust digital piano tuning, or turn the digital piano off and then back on again. 3. Change the octave shift setting to 0. 4. Change the temperament setting to 00:Equal, which is the standard modern tuning. Connect the pedal cord correctly. Turn off Back up. Next, turn power off and then back on again. See Page E-8 E-6
