Connecting a Microphone (WK-220 and WK-225)

You can connect a dynamic microphone (only) to the Digital Keyboard for output through the Digital Keyboard's speakers.

  • You can adjust the volume level of microphone input with the 40 (MIC VOLUME) knob. Microphone volume control is independent of overall keyboard volume.
    • Built-in effects (reverb, chorus) are also applied to input from the microphone.
    For details, see "Controlling the Keyboard Sounds" (page E-14).

Changing the Beats Per Measure

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.

  • You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure.
  • When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.

1. Hold down ⑤ until the beats per measure setting screen appears on the display.

B e a t

  • If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the display will return to the screen displayed before you pressed ⑤.

2. Use 17 (10-key) to enter the number of beats per measure.

- The bell will not sound if you specify 0 for this setting. In this case, all beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying how many beats there are in each measure.

Changing the Metronome Tempo

Use the following procedure to change the tempo of the metronome.

1. Press 12.

Use V (slower) and A (faster) to change the tempo setting. Holding down either button changes the setting at high speed.

For example, you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Connection and Preparation

CASIO WK-225 - Connection and Preparation - 1

IMPORTANT!

- Before connecting, make sure that this Digital Keyboard, as well as the microphone (WK-220 or WK-225) or external device (CTK-4200) being connected, are all turned off.

  1. Connect a microphone or external device to the Digital Keyboard.

NOTE

- Use a commercially available dynamic microphone. - Connection of an external device requires commercially available connecting cords, supplied by you. Connecting cords should have a stereo mini plug on one end and a plug that matches the configuration of the external device on the other end.

  1. Turn down the volume levels of the external device and the Digital Keyboard.

  2. Turn on the external device or microphone, and then turn on the Digital Keyboard.

- When using a microphone, adjust the input volume level with 40 (MIC VOLUME).

If this happens, deleting other memory data you no longer need will free up memory space and you should be able to sample for 10 seconds. See “Deleting a Sampled Sound” on page E-26 for more information.

IMPORTANT!

- Sampling sound and storing it will delete any sound data currently stored under the same tone number. To help ensure that you do not accidentally delete important data, be sure to read “Protecting Against Accidental Deletion of Sampled Sounds” on page E-26.

  1. Press the same button again to stop playback.
  2. Press 18 to return to the screen that was displayed before step 2 of this procedure.

Changing the Volume of Sampled Sound Looped Playback

You can use the following procedure to change the volume level of the looped playback of each sampled sound, if you want.

  1. Press the button of the sampled sound whose volume you want to change (19 to 23).
  2. This will cause the sounds loop to sound.
  3. While the loop is sounding, hold down the same sampled sound button (19 to 23) as you press any keyboard key.
  4. Pressing the keyboard key quickly will increase sample sound volume, while pressing slowly will decrease volume.
  5. After the sampled sound is at the volume level you want, release its button (19 to 23).

Applying Effects to a Sampled Sound

You can apply various effects to sampled sounds.

  1. Press ⑬ (TONE) and then use ⑰ (10-key) to enter the tone number (601 to 605) to which you want to apply effects.

  2. Press 13 (TONE) to cycle through the available effects, described below.

Effect Type(Display)Description
Original (Orgnl)Normal sampled tone (no looping, no effect).
Loop 1 (Loop1)Loops the sampled sound.
Loop 2 (Loop2)Loops the sample sound and raises the pitch of the resonating sound when the keyboard key is released.
Loop 3 (Loop3)Loops the sample sound and lowers the pitch of the resonating sound when the keyboard key is released.
Pitch 1 (Ptch1)Changes the pitch from low to high, at an increasing rate.
Pitch 2 (Ptch2)Changes the pitch from high to low, at a decreasing rate.
Pitch 3 (Ptch3)Changes the pitch from high to low, at a decreasing rate, and then raises the pitch when the key is released.
Tremolo (Treml)Alternates volume between high and low.
Funny 1 (Funy1)Adds vibrato and changes the pitch by a gradually increasing amount.
Funny 2 (Funy2)Alternates between high pitch and low pitch.
Funny 3 (Funy3)Adds vibrato and changes the pitch from low to high.
  • Avoid assigning the same sampled sound to the keyboard for play along and for looped play. Doing so will cause, the Loop 1 effect to be applied to the keyboard tone while looped play of the sampled sound is being performed.

Incorporating a Sampled Sound into a Drum Set (Drum Sampling)

You can use the procedure to change the drum sounds that are assigned to each keyboard key.

- You can store up to three drum sets and store them as tone numbers 606, 607, and 608. Simply select the tone number where the drum set you want is located to assign the drum set sounds to the keyboard.

  1. Press 14 (RHYTHM).

  1. Use the 17 (10-key) [-] and [+] keys to change the keyboard channel.

The navigate channels can be used to display only the notes of a particular channel (part) as on-screen guide information from among the note information of a tune sent from the computer.

■Specifying the Navigate Channels

From among the 16 available channels (numbered 01 to 16), you can specify any two neighboring channels (such as 05 and 06) as navigate channels. The smaller numbered channel is the navigate (L) channel, while the larger numbered channel is the navigate (R) channel. Specifying the navigate (R) channel will automatically configure the navigate (L) channel as well.

  1. Press 29 (FUNCTION) and then use the 17 (10-key) [4] (←) and [6] (→) keys to display "MIDI" (page E-7).
  2. Press 17 (10-key) [9] (ENTER) key.
  3. Use the ⑰ (10-key) [4] (←) and [6] (→) keys to display "Navi. Ch".

$$ \begin{array}{c} \text {04} \ \text {N a v i . C h} \end{array} $$

  1. Use the ⑰ (10-key) to specify the navigate (R) channel.

This also will automatically configure the next lower channel number as the navigate (L) channel.

■Turning Off the Navigate Channel Sound and Playing the Part on the Keyboard

You can turn off the sound on one or both of the navigate channels and play the cancelled part on the keyboard yourself.

1. Press ⑪ to select the channel setting you want to turn off.

Each press of ⑪ cycles through settings (1) through (4) described below.

- If you turn off one channel, you can play the cancelled part on the keyboard using the same tone as the channel you turned off. If you turn off both channels (option (3)), what you play on the keyboard sounds using the tone of the navigate (R) channel.

Selected channel indicator appears.

Storing and Loading Digital Keyboard Memory Data

You can transfer sampled sounds, recorded songs, and other data in Digital Keyboard memory to a computer for storage. You also can load standard MIDI file (SMF) data, and Auto Accompaniment data you download from the CASIO website to the Digital Keyboard, which greatly expands the Song Bank songs and Auto Accompaniment patterns available to you. A special Data Manager application is required in order to transfer data to and from the Digital Keyboard.
