[Left Side Panel]

IMPORTANT!

• Make sure that the product is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Using the AC adaptor for a long time can cause it to become warm to touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete.
• Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with the external equipment for its proper connection procedures.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano's PHONES jacks. This cuts off the built-in speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

[Left Side Panel]

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-3) to perform, connect the pedal's cable to the digital piano's PEDAL DAMPER jack or PEDAL SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

See "Using the Piano's Pedals" on page E-8 for information about using a pedal.

NOTE

• The split point setting also controls the point where the keyboard splits between the accompaniment keyboard (pages E-12, 13) and the melody keyboard. Moving the split point also affects the sizes of the accompaniment keyboard and the melody keyboard.

Using the Piano's Pedals

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

Pedal functions

• Damper pedal

Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer.

• 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.

• 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.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano's PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the keyboard, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. You can perform the following operation to select either soft or sostenuto for the pedal operation.

While holding down the CONTROL button, use the keyboard keys shown below to select either soft or sostenuto.

Using the Built-in Metronome

You can use the metronome to sound a count that helps keep you in proper time.

Press the METRONOME button.
- This starts the metronome.
2 While holding down the CONTROL button, press the BEAT [√] or [∧] button to specify how many beats there are per measure.
- The first value of the beat can be set to a value of 2 through 6. The bell (indicating the first beat of a measure) does not sound while a value of 0 is specified. All beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying about how many beats there are in each measure.
3 While holding down the CONTROL button, use the TEMPO [V] and [A] buttons to change the tempo (speed) of the metronome.
- You can also use keyboard keys to change the tempo setting (see page E-11).
4 Press the METRONOME button again to stop the metronome.

You can select from among 20 built-in rhythms. Rhythms 0 through 9 include percussion instrument sounds, but rhythms 10 through 19 do not. See the next page for information about how to use rhythms 10 through 19.

Press the RHYTHM button so the RHYTHM indicator lamp (below the button) is lit.

Each press of the button toggles between the upper indicator lamp and lower indicator lamp.

While holding down the CONTROL button, use the keyboard keys shown below to input a two-digit rhythm number.

• If you want your accompaniment rhythm to include percussion instrument sounds, select a rhythm in the range of 0 through 9.

• To select rhythm number 5, for example, press the 0 key and then the 5 key.
  3 Press the START/STOP button.
• This starts the rhythm.
  4 Press the START/STOP button again to stop the rhythm.

NOTE

• You can also cycle through the available rhythms in step 2 by holding down the CONTROL button and pressing the SONG/RHYTHM SELECT [√] or [▲] button.

To adjust the tempo of the rhythm

Press the RHYTHM button so the RHYTHM indicator lamp is lit.
Each press of the button toggles between the upper indicator lamp and lower indicator lamp.
While holding down the CONTROL button, use the TEMPO [V] and [A] buttons to change the tempo (speed) of the rhythm.
- To return the rhythm to its standard tempo setting, press the TEMPO [√] and [▲] buttons at the same time.

NOTE

• You can also use keyboard keys to change the tempo setting.

(1) While holding down the CONTROL button, press the METRONOME button.
(2) While keeping the CONTROL button depressed, use the keyboard keys shown below to input a three-digit number.

• Tempo Range: 030 to 255

Using Auto Accompaniment

With auto accompaniment, the keyboard automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in accordance with chords you select using simplified keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own private backup group with you all the time.

NOTE

• Rhythms 10 through 19 consist of chord accompaniments only, without any drums or other percussion instruments. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the accompaniment mode. With such rhythms, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected before you try playing chords.

To play with auto accompaniment

PREPARATION

• Select the rhythm you want to use and adjust the tempo.

While holding down the CONTROL button, press one of the keyboard keys shown below to select a chord mode.

Here we will select the CASIO CHORD mode.
See page E-12 for information about how to use the chord modes.

Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button.

• This configures the piano so rhythm and chord accompaniment will start automatically when you press any keys within the accompaniment keyboard range.

Press the INTRO/ENDING button.

• This configures the piano so accompaniment starts with an intro pattern.

4 Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the first chord within the accompaniment keyboard range.

• This will cause the intro pattern for the selected rhythm to play, followed by the auto accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern.

Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play other chords.

• See "How to Play Chords" on this page for information about how to finger chords with the various chord modes.
• You can insert a fill-in pattern while an auto accompaniment is playing by pressing the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN button. A fill-in helps to change the mood of the auto accompaniment pattern.

6 To stop auto accompaniment play, press the INTRO/ENDING button.

• This will play an ending pattern for the selected rhythm before stopping auto accompaniment play.

NOTE

• You can start or stop auto accompaniment play without an intro or ending pattern by pressing the START/STOP button in steps 3 and 6.

How to Play Chords

The way you finger chords depends on the current chord mode.

■ Normal

In this mode there is no auto accompaniment, so you can play all of piano's keys for standard-fingering chords or melody notes.

CASIO CHORD

This method of chord play makes it possible for anyone to easily play chords, regardless of previous musical knowledge and experience. The following describes the CASIO CHORD "Accompaniment keyboard" and "Melody keyboard", and tells you how to play CASIO CHORDs.

CASIO CHORD Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard

NOTE

• 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 Types

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

Chord Types	Example
Major chords Press one accompaniment key. Note that the chord produced when you press an accompaniment keyboard key does not change octave, regardless of which key you use to play it.	C Major (C) JOODE F P O A A B C O D E F
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.	C minor (Cm) JOODE F P O A A B C O D E F
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.	C seventh (C7) JOODE F P O A A B C O D E F
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.	C minor seventh (Cm7) JOODE F P O A A B C O D E F

NOTE

• It makes no difference whether you press black or white keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor and seventh chords.

■ FINGERED

In this mode, you specify chords by playing them as you would on a piano, inside the accompaniment keyboard range. To specify a C-chord, you would play C-E-G.

FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard

NOTE

• 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.

NOTE

• See the "Fingered Chord Chart" on page A-2 for details on playing chords with other roots.

1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root.
2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

NOTE

Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.
Except for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.

■ FULL RANGE CHORD

This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38 chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 additional variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is interpreted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate accompaniment keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end can be used for both melody and chords.

FULL RANGE CHORD Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Keyboard

Chords Recognized by This Piano

The following table identifies patterns that are recognized as chords by FULL RANGE CHORD.

Pattern Type	Number of Chord Variations
FINGERED	The 15 chord patterns shown under "FINGERED" on this page.
Standard Fingerings	23 standard chord fingerings. The following are examples of the 23 chords available with C as the bass note. C6·Cm6·C69 DbC D E F G A B C C C C C C C C B Dm C Dm Fm Gm Am Bm C Ddim A7 C F7 Fm7 Gm7 Aadd9 C C C C C C C C

Example: To play the chord C major and .

① ....... Chord C
②....Chord C E

NOTE

• If there are more than six semitones between the lowest note and the next note to the right, the lowest note is interpreted as a bass note.
