KEY LIGHT

Polyphony
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 autoaccompaniment 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 12-note polyphony. When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
Turning the Key Light System On and Off
Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key light system on or off.
To turn the key light system on and off
Press the KEY LIGHT button to toggle the key light system on and off.
The KEY LIGHT indicator disappears when the key light system is turned off.

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 key light system is turned on automatically whenever you turn on keyboard power.

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. Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3) Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

Memory Contents

Even when the keyboard is turned off, user song data saved as Song Bank tunes are retained as long as power is being supplied to the keyboard. Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when batteries are dead cuts off the power supply. This causes all keyboard settings to be initialized to the initial factory defaults, and clears all data stored in memory.

Power Requirements

Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not lost. Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries. 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.
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. When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifiers controls.

Key Lighting System Operation and Display Contents During 3-step Lesson Play
Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune for 3-step lesson play, the key lighting system shows you which keys to press, while the display shows you the notes and their fingerings.

Targeted Practice

The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the keyboard.
Note Pitch The keyboard key that should be pressed lights, while the actual pitch of the note appears in the displays staff notation area. The fingers you should use to play the notes are also shown on the display. Note Length Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be played. The staff notation and 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. Series of Same Pitch Notes The keyboard key light turns off momentarily between the notes and lights again for each successive note. The staff notation and fingerings also turn off and back on again.
Step 1 Master the timing. In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing right without worrying about playing the right note. Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you press a key before proceeding to the next phrase. Step 2 Master the notes. In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light system to learn which keyboard keys to press. Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until your play the correct note, so you can learn at your own pace. Step 3 Play at normal speed. This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the correct notes.
Example: When play requires pressing keys with fingers 3, 2, and then 1
1st Note Next note Current note 2nd Note 3rd Note

Evaluation Mode

The keyboards Evaluation Mode awards points to your performances during Step 3 of the 3-Step Lesson. A perfect score is 100. Also, the Evaluation Mode provides comments about your play on the monitor screen.

CASIO CHORD

Using Auto Accompaniment

The actual procedure you should use to play a chord depends on the current POWER/MODE switch position. Refer to the following pages for details on chord play. CASIO CHORD. Page E-29 FINGERED.. Page E-30
The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the accompaniment keyboard.

Chord name

Chord Types CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords with minimal fingering.

Chord Types

Major chords Major chord names are marked above the keys of the accompaniment keyboard. Note that the chord produced when you press an accompaniment keyboard does not change octave, regardless of which key you use to play it. Minor chords (m) To play a minor chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other accompaniment keyboard key located to the right of the major chord key. Seventh chords (7) To play a seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other two accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key. Minor seventh chords (m7) To play a minor seventh chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other three accompaniment keyboard keys located to the right of the major chord key.

FINGERED

FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The following describes the FINGERED Accompaniment keyboard and Melody keyboard, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using FINGERED.

Example

C Major (C)

Using a Rhythm Variation

In addition to the standard rhythm pattern, you can also switch to a secondary variation rhythm pattern for a bit of variety.
To insert the variation rhythm pattern
The standard rhythm pattern starts to play after the intro pattern is complete. Pressing the VARIATION/FILL-IN button while an intro pattern is playing causes the variation pattern to sound after the intro pattern is complete.
Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm play. Press the VARIATION/FILL-IN button to switch to the variation pattern for the rhythm you are using.
To switch back to the standard rhythm pattern, press the NORMAL/FILL-IN button.
Using a Fill-in Pattern with a Variation Rhythm
You can also insert a fill-in pattern while a variation rhythm pattern is playing.
Finishing with an Ending Pattern
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that brings the rhythm pattern you are using to a natural-sounding conclusion. The following procedure describes how to insert an ending pattern. Note that the actual ending pattern played depends on the rhythm pattern you are using.
To insert a fill-in into a rhythm variation
While a variation rhythm pattern is playing, press the VARIATION/FILL-IN button to insert a fill-in pattern for the variation rhythm you are using.
To finish with an ending pattern
While the rhythm is playing, press the SYNCHRO/ ENDING button.
This causes the ending pattern to play, which brings rhythm accompaniment to an end.
Synchro Starting Accompaniment with Rhythm Play
You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard. 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 POWER/MODE switch to select the chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO CHORD, FINGERED).
The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on when you press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. If you press the button before the second beat of the current measure, the ending pattern starts playing immediately. Pressing the button at any point in the measure after the second beat results in the ending pattern playing from the beginning of the following measure.

To use synchro start

Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button to put the keyboard into synchro start standby.
Playing a chord and the rhythm pattern starts to play automatically.
If the POWER/MODE switch is set to NORMAL, only the rhythm plays (without a chord) when you play on the accompaniment keyboard. If you press the INTRO button before playing anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically with an intro pattern when you play something on the accompaniment keyboard. Pressing the VARIATION/FILL-IN button before playing anything on the keyboard causes play to start with the variation pattern when something is played on the keyboard. To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/ ENDING button one more time.
