The entire keyboard consists of only correct notes! Arpeggio Has a series of preset 4-note arpeggios. Auto-Accompaniment System in which you can generate complete backgrounds with drums, bass, and chord parts with the left hand, while you play melodies and solos with right hand. 3 different systems are available: Casio Chord, Fingered Chord, and Full Range Chord (only on certain models). Auto-Harmonize Feature which adds chord notes of the auto-accompaniment to each note you play in the melody with your right hand. Break Beat Manually activated (rather than automatic) patterns which can be stopped instantly or retriggered anytime to create new or interesting patterns. Casio Chord Simplied auto-accompaniment system for the novice player. Ability to play chords not required. Chord Memory Memorizes a background pattern for you to play over, consisting of a sequence of left-hand auto-chord (Casio Chord or Fingered Chord).

Fingered Chord Auto-accompaniment system for the more advanced player; actual chord formations are played and complete bass/chord/drum background pattern is generated. Free Session Automatic moving chord progression 4, 8, or 12 bars, so you have both hands free for soloing. Full-Range Chord Auto-accompaniment system that allows either the triggering of chords or the playing of the melody across the entire keyboard, depending on whether you play a chord or single note melody. General MIDI International standard layout for keyboard tones and other parameters, which ensures that all MIDI keyboards, modules and software from all manufacturers will be functionally compatible, and offers somewhat greater ease of use. Some CASIO units do not follow the General MIDI scheme, but are fully functional in most MIDI applications nonetheless. Most of the larger Casios are of the General MIDI design. Graphic Equalizer Expanded tone control, often 3, 5 or 7 sections. Gives you more control over the sound than a conventional bass/treble control. Karaoke Cassette machine with microphone for sing-along. The correct pronunciation is "kahdah-oh-kay." In Japanese, it literally means "empty orchestra." Layer Allows you to stack two sounds together across the entire range of the keyboard, so both will sound on each key. LCD Liquid Crystal Display, a screen which gives an informative and attractive readout of keyboard functions. Display is often backlit, meaning there is a lighted screen. Magi-Comp Has chord progressions that change according to your phrasing of the melody. Magical Light Keyboard with illuminating keys, to guide your ngers to the correct note. Magical Presets In the "Music Designer Series" keyboards, a section that offers numerous interactive and fun ways to play along with automatic functions, such as: Free Session, Break Beat, Magi-Comp, Shadow Drum, Tone Cycle and Arpeggio.

PCM "Pulse Code Modulation" - Digital recordings of real instruments or percussion sound sources. Polyphonic The number of notes that can be played simultaneously. Real-Time Memory The instrument records exactly what is played, in real time. Registration Memory Allows you to congure your keyboard with a particular sound, rhythm, volume setting, effect and other associated parameters, and store all the settings for easy recall at the press of a single button. These are custom One-Touch Presets. Sampling The digital recording of a sound, which can later be triggered by a keyboard or other device. Sequencer Feature, computer program, or stand-alone device that allows you to record MIDI note data and edit it. Shadow Drum Triggers a percussion sound with each note, forming a pattern as you play. Split Allows you to divide the keyboard into two sections with a different sound in each. Point at which the keyboard divides is often assignable. Standard MIDI File Note data that can be played on any MIDI keyboard. It is accessed by the keyboard either from a computer-based sequencer or, in the case of keyboards that have a oppy disk drive built in, directly from a disk.

Your Digital Keyboards SD memory card slot makes it possible for you to store record memory and other data on a commercially available SD memory card. Supported SD Memory Cards Your Digital Keyboard supports the use of memory cards up to 2 GB. Use of any SD memory card with greater capacity is not supported. See the instructions that come with the SD memory card for information about its capacity. User data that can be saved and loaded Data Type Sampled sound (page E-18) User rhythms (page E-42) User songs (page E-28) Recorded songs (page E-48) User scale memory (page E-53) Registration setups (page E-46) All data Description Sampled sound data Edited Auto Accompaniment data File Name Extension TW7 DW7*1 AC7

SD Memory Card and Card Slot Precautions
When using an SD memory card, make sure you observe all of the precautions in the instructions that come with it. SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that you can use to protect against accidental deletion of data. Avoid using an SD memory card under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card. Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and corrosive gas Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when loading it or removing it from the Digital Keyboard. While data is being stored to or recalled from an SD memory card, never perform any other Digital Keyboard operation or remove the SD memory card. Doing so can corrupt the data on the card and damage the card slot. Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction. Electrostatic charge discharging from your fingers or the SD memory card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens, turn the Digital Keyboard off and then back on again. An SD memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card
Note that the SD memory card must be oriented correctly when you insert it into the SD memory card slot. Trying to force the memory card into the slot can damage the card and the slot.
Formatting an SD Memory Card
Before using an SD Memory card, first be sure to format it on the Digital Keyboard. Before performing the procedure below, check to make sure that the SD memory card does not contain any data you might need. The SD memory card format performed by the Digital Keyboard is a quick format. If you want to completely delete all of the data on the card, format it on your computer or using some other device.
1. With the top of the SD memory card facing
upwards (so you can see it), carefully insert the card into the keyboards SD memory card slot (dt) until stops with a click.
1. Insert the SD memory card you want to format

into the Digital Keyboards card slot.
Make sure that the write-protect switch of the SD memory card is not in the write-protect position.
2. Press cs and ct at the same time.
2. Press the SD memory card into the card slot

and then release it.

This will cause the card to disengage and eject partially. Pull the card out of the slot.
