Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO musical instrument. This keyboard

provides you with the following features and functions.

❐348 tones, including 100 “Advanced Tones”

A total of 238 standard tones including piano, organ, brass, and other presets provide

you with the sounds you need, while memory for 10 user tones lets you store your

own original creations. 100 of the preset tones are “Advanced Tones,” which are vari-

ations of standard tones created by programming in effects (DSP) and other settings.

❐100 Preset Rhythms + 4 User Rhythms

A selection of 100 rhythms includes accompaniments for everything from rock to

pops and jazz.

You can also transfer accompaniment data from your computer and store up to four

of them as user rhythms in keyboard memory.

❐Auto Accompaniment

Simply play a chord and the corresponding rhythm, bass and chord parts play auto-

matically. One-touch Presets instantly recalls the most suitable tone and tempo set-

tings to match the rhythm you are using.

❐Big, Information-packed Display

A big built-in display shows chord names, tempo setting, keyboard information, staff

notation of notes played, and more for full support of all your keyboard play. A built-

in backlight keeps the display easy to read, even in total darkness.

❐Song Memory

Record up to six parts in memory, along with their tone, volume, pan position, and

other parameters for later playback. Realistic ensemble play can also be created us-

ing the Auto Accompaniment function.

❐Synthesizer Mode

sounds can be stored in memory for recall just like the built-in tones.

available pre-recorded General MIDI music software.

❐Powerful effects

A collection of powerful effects, such as reverb, chorus, and more, give you total

control over the type of sound you want. You can even change the parameters of an

effect to create your own, original effects. A 4-band equalizer is also included.

❐Mixer

You can specify tone, volume, pan position, and other parameters for each built-in

Auto Accompaniment part. You can also control the same parameters for each chan-

nel during MIDI input.

ever you need them. Up to 16 setups (4 setups x 4 banks) can be stored in registration

memory.
