Returning the Digital Keyboard to Its Factory Default Settings

There are two ways to reset the Digital Keyboard to its default settings: a "setting reset" that initializes settings only without deleting data, and a "factory reset" that initializes settings and deletes all data, returning the Digital Keyboard to the state it was in when it left the factory.

For details, see "Batch Deleting Data from Digital Keyboard Memory" (page EN-113).

Preparing a Power Supply

Your Digital Keyboard uses an AC adaptor for power.

CASIO CT-X8000IN - Preparing a Power Supply - 1

NOTE

- Though the CT-X8000IN supports battery operation, use of an AC adaptor is generally recommended.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

CT-X9000IN: Connecting the AC Adaptor

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24250LW

CT-X8000IN: Connecting the AC Adaptor

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW

CASIO CT-X8000IN - CT-X8000IN: Connecting the AC Adaptor - 1

IMPORTANT!

  • Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Keyboard to any other device besides this Digital Keyboard. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.
  • Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
  • The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
  • Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the power cord.

During Use

  • Never pull on the cord with excessive force.
  • Never repeatedly pull on the cord.
  • Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or connector.

During Movement

- Before moving the Digital Keyboard, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

During Storage

- Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it around the AC adaptor.

  • Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the product's DC24V (CT-X9000IN) or DC12V (CT-X8000IN) terminal. Doing so creates the risk of accident.
  • Do not try to use the power cord that comes with the product with another device.
  • Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.
  • Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet that is close to the Digital Keyboard. This lets you immediately unplug from the power outlet should any problem occur.
  • The AC adaptor is intended for indoor use only. Do not leave it in a location where it can become wet. Also, do not place a vase or any other container of liquid on the AC adaptor.
  • Make sure that the AC adaptor does not become covered with a newspaper, table cloth, curtain, or any other type of fabric.
  • If you do not plan to use the Digital Keyboard for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.
  • The AC adaptor cannot be repaired. If your AC adaptor malfunctions or becomes damaged, you need to purchase a new one.
    • AC Adaptor Usage Environment Temperature: 0 to 40°C Humidify: 10% to 90%RH
    • Output Polarity: ◇—●—⊕

CT-X8000IN: Using Batteries

You can use six D-size batteries for power.

CASIO CT-X8000IN - CT-X8000IN: Using Batteries - 1

IMPORTANT!

- Note that turning off Digital Keyboard power during a procedure causes any pending unsaved data to be deleted.

Numeric Input

The [NUM] indicator on the display means that numeric input is enabled.

[NUM] indicator NUM 001 StagePno

Use the procedures below to input tone numbers, setting values, etc.

■ Using the 12 Number Keys

When entering a number or value, input all the required digits. The number of digits you need to input depends on what you are inputting. For example, to input the tone number 015 (all three digits required), input the following: [0] → [1] → [5]. In this case, the numbers being input flash until you input the final 5. The input value is registered (and 015 is displayed without flashing) after you input all of the required digits.

  • The range of allowable input values depends on what you are inputting. If you attempt to input a value that is outside an allowable range, the value will change to the value within the range that is closest to the one you input.
  • To specify a value without inputting a leading zero, enter the desired value and then press 10 FUNCTION. For example, when inputting a three-digit tone number, the following operation would result in input of tone number 010: [1] → [0] → 10 FUNCTION.
  • To discard input without finalizing it, long-press [4] (EXIT) 12 number key.

■ Using the 13 [-] and [+] Keys

  • Pressing [-] reduces the currently displayed number or value by one, while [+] increases it by one. Holding down either button will sequentially increase or decrease the displayed number or value until you release the button. Pressing both buttons at the same time will return the number or value to its initial default or recommended setting.
  • If input of a negative value is allowed, pressing [-] while the value is flashing on the display will add a minus sign (-) to the left of the value. Pressing [+] while a value is flashing changes back to a positive value.

■Using the 11 Dial

You can also change a displayed number or value by rotating the dial.

- Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for each of the keyboard parts whose tone setting you want to change.

Selecting an Effect for a Tone (Reverb, Chorus, Delay)

Your Digital Keyboard includes reverb, chorus, and delay effects, which you can use to enhance the sound of tones.

●Reverb (REVERB)

Reverb simulates ambient spaces, such as a room or hall.

●Chorus (CHORUS)

Chorus adds a rich, shimmering quality to a sound. This digital keyboard applies a preset chorus setting that is suitable for each tone.

●Delay (DELAY)

Delay stores a sound and repeats it periodically with a slight delay before each repeat, which creates an echo effect. Delay is different from reverb, which creates a reverberation effect. This digital keyboard applies a preset delay setting that is suitable for each tone.

NOTE

- You can determine the current enabled/disabled status of each effect by checking the indicator marks on the right side of the display.

CASIO CT-X8000IN - NOTE - 1

  • Preset chorus effect and delay effects are applied to each tone even when there is no indicator mark next to [CHORUS] and [DELAY].
  • You can adjust how tone effects are applied to each part. For details, see "Using the Mixer" (page EN-62). The setting items that are used for adjustment correspond to the following: Reverb Send, Chorus Send, Delay Send (see "Advanced Mixer Settings" on page EN-64).

- The allowable tempo value setting range depends on the currently displayed note value as shown in the table below.

Note Value Tempo Value Range
Quarter note (♩) 20 to 255
Eighth note (♩) 40 to 510
Half note (♩) 10 to 128
Dotted quarter note (♩.) 13 to 170

- When the note value is a quarter note, the tempo value corresponds to the actual number of beats per minute. When the note value is an eighth note the number of beats per minute is twice that of the tempo value. When the note value is a half note, the number of beats is half that of the tempo value.

To change the displayed note value

  1. Long-press 31 TAP TEMPO until the displayed note value changes.

• Each long-press of 31 TAP TEMPO cycles through the note value settings in the sequence shown below.

To set the tempo by tapping a beat

  1. Tap 31 TAP TEMPO multiple times at as steady a beat as possible.

This will set a tempo that is as close as possible to the timing of the beat you tap.

- It helps to use this method to specify the approximate tempo in combination with a procedure like the one under "To specify a tempo value" (page EN-45).

NOTE

- A tempo value that is input using this method has no relation to the currently displayed note value. Depending on the rhythm selected with the above operation, a quarter note or eighth note tempo value is input.

To start rhythm play with the 31 TAP TEMPO button

You can configure settings to automatically start rhythm play when you specify a tempo using the procedure under "To set the tempo by tapping a beat" above.

To do so, perform the procedure under "To configure function settings with the 10 FUNCTION button" (page EN-107) and enable the following setting: Other (Other) → Tap rhythm start (Tap Rhy) (page EN-112).

Creating a Song with an Auto Accompaniment (Accompaniment Pattern)

Generally, the progress of a musical piece starts with an intro, transitions to verses that are interspersed with interludes and other changes, and then returns to the main theme before reaching an ending. The Digital Keyboard's Auto Accompaniment function provides a selection of accompaniment patterns that are suited to the progress of a musical composition.

Accompaniment Patterns

This section describes the different types of accompaniment patterns of the Auto Accompaniment function.

DSP Editing

A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is a type of effect that is connected between the sound source and output. DSP types are equalizer, tremolo, limiter, wah, etc. Many of the built-in tones of your Digital Keyboard are preset with DSPs that are suited for each tone. Such tones are called "DSP tones". The tone editing function of the Digital Keyboard includes a DSP Edit setting item for editing DSPs. The Digital Keyboard DSPs that can be edited using DSP Edit are configured as shown below.

User Rhythm Part Playback Setting Details

■Chord conversion table (Table)

Recording of each accompaniment pattern is normally performed using C major (root of C, major type). When playing an Auto Accompaniment, you can use a root other than C and a chord type other than major, if you want. This is accomplished by using a "chord conversion table" to convert the C major recorded data to another root and/or chord type. Regardless of what root or chord type you specify, the currently selected chord table is used to make corrections to suit the instrument parts and the type of music being played in order to ensure musically natural accompaniment.

With this parameter, you can select from among the 19 types of chord conversion tables listed below.

NumberTable Name *1Parts Description
01Bass Basic *2Bass Normally used for a bass part.
02Bass f-root *2Bass Variation of number 01. Always makes the first note the root note when changing chords.
03Bass 7th *2Bass Used for a bass part recorded with a 7th chord.
04Bass 7th f-root *2Bass Variation of number 03. Always makes the first note the root note when changing chords.
05Chord Basic *2Chord Normally used for a chord part.
06Chord Var2 *2Chord Used for a chord part that has a tension chord.
07Chord Var3 *2Chord When a 7th chord is specified while playing, the 5th note is converted to a 7th note. In the case of C7, for example, G becomes B'.
08Chord Var4 *2Chord Variation of number 05 (Chord Basic).
09Chord 7th *2Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a 7th chord.
10Chord Minor *2Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a minor chord.
11Phrase *2Chord Used for the chord part to which a phrase (such as a major scale) was recorded.
12Chord Minor *2Bass Used for a bass part recorded with a minor chord.
13Chord Minor f-root *2Bass Variation of number 12. Always makes the first note the root note when changing chords.
14Penta Phrase *2Chord Used for a chord part recorded with a pentatonic scale phrase.
15Intro n-minor *3Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a natural minor.
16Intro m-minor *3Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a melodic minor (ascending).
17Intro h-minor *3Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a harmonic minor.
18Intro no Change *3Bass/chord Recording of original as-is, with no minor/major conversion in accordance with chord specified while playing.
19Intro dorian *3Bass/chord When a minor chord is specified while playing, converts to a dorian scale.

*1Accompaniment Pattern
*2For Variation and Fill-in
*3For Intro and Ending

■Break Point (Break Pt)

This parameter specifies the key, from C to B, that is the point at which Auto Accompaniment bass and chord notes drop one octave.

For example when F is specified as the break point, a C major chord recorded as C3E3G3 (CEG) becomes D3F#3A3 (DF#A raised one note each) when D is fingered on the chord keyboard, E3G#3B3 (EG#B raised one note each) when E is fingered, and F2A2C3 (FAC dropped one octave) when F is fingered.

■Inversion (Invert)

This parameter specifies whether or not chords during Auto Accompaniment play should mirror inverted forms of the original chord (EGC and GCE for CEG).

For example, let's say that the original recorded C major chord is CEG and an F chord is fingered on the chord keyboard. If "Off" is selected for this setting, the chord will be directly converted to FAC. If "On" (or "7th") is selected, the chord will be converted to CFA, which is the inverted form that is nearest to CEG. The transition of chord notes during playback when "On" (or "7th") is selected is smaller, so accompaniment sounds more natural.

Note that you should select "7th" in place of "On" only if "C7" was specified for the "PlayChrd" setting* when recording the accompaniment pattern and if you selected "09 (Chord 7th)" for the chord conversion table.

*For information about "PlayChrd", see the "User Rhythm Recording Settings" (page EN-80).

NOTE

- When selecting "On" (or "7th") for this setting, make sure that you select "C" for the "Break Point" (Break Pt) setting.

■Retrigger (Retrig.)

This parameter specifies how accompaniment pattern play is affected by a chord change that occurs part way through a pattern. When "On" is selected, the pattern "retriggers," which causes the currently playing note to change to the corresponding note of the newly fingered chord. When "Off" is selected, a chord change causes the currently sounding note to be cut off, and the next note of the pattern of the newly fingered chord to be played.

■Bend Range (BndRng)

This parameter specifies the bend range for pitch bend wheel operation in semitone steps.

■MIDI Recorder

Keyboard performance information is recorded as MIDI data* to a system track or 16 solo tracks (storage areas for keyboard performance data) in Digital Keyboard memory.

  • Keyboard performance information (keyboard keys press/release, touch pressure, etc.) is recorded as MIDI data.
  • The size of MIDI data is much smaller when compared with audio data, making it easier to edit later on a computer, etc.
  • The MIDI recorder sounds the Digital Keyboard's sound source based on recorded MIDI data.

\* MIDI

MIDI is short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. It is a universal standard that makes it possible for musical instruments, computers, and other devices to exchange performance information (keyboard key press/release, touch pressure, etc.) regardless of manufacturer. Performance data in this case is called “MIDI data”.

Examination Mode

The Examination Mode changes the operation of the Digital Keyboard as described below to provide support for those taking a musical instrument grade test.

●Accompaniment Pattern Operations

  • If the Digital Keyboard is in synchro start standby (page EN-47) while ACCOMP is off ([ACCOMP] indicator not displayed), rhythm will start when you play something anywhere on the keyboard. Synchro start standby is exited at this time.
  • Rhythm will not start even if you press 14 INTRO, or 15 VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 to 18 VARIATION/FILL-IN

4 while rhythm play is stopped. Instead, each accompaniment pattern becomes selected and the corresponding indicators ([ I ], [V1] to [V4]) flash on the display.

  • Pressing 15 VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 to 18 VARIATION/FILL-IN 4 while an accompaniment pattern's intro is sounding immediately sounds a fill-in (1 to 4) and sounds the variation that corresponds to the button that was pressed.
  • Pressing 15 VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 to 18 VARIATION/FILL-IN 4 while variation 1 to 4 of an accompaniment pattern is sounding immediately switches to the accompaniment pattern, even part way through a measure.
  • The registration function saves the accompaniment pattern selection status.

●Split Point Settings

  • The correspondence between note numbers and note names is Note Number 60 = C3. (C4 when Examination Mode is turned off.)

■ Sounding of the Digital Keyboard Sound Source by Digital Keyboard Operations or by MIDI IN Input

  • Sounds generated during a performance on the keyboard are assigned to parts 1 through 5 of the KEYBOARD part group. Phrase pads are assigned to parts 6 through 9 of the KEYBOARD part group.
  • Sounds generated by Auto Accompaniment are assigned to the parts of the RHYTHM part group.
  • Sounds generated by the system track and phrase pads during song playback (Song Bank Mode) are assigned to the parts of the SONG SYSTEM part group.
  • Sounds generated by the solo tracks sounded during song playback (Song Bank Mode) and sounds generated by messages input from MIDI IN are assigned to the parts of the SONG SOLO part group.

■External MIDI Device Operations by the Digital Keyboard

  • For the MIDI OUT channel of keyboard performance data output, the n-value specified by "Keyboard Channel" (page EN-120) is applied to the Upper 1 part. MIDI OUT channels for the following are based on the MIDI OUT channel of the Upper 1 part: Upper 2 = n+1, Lower 1 = n+2, Lower 2 = n+3, and Auto Harmonize = n+4.
  • While the "Accomp Out" (page EN-120) setting is turned on, the performance data of the Auto Accompaniment parts is output to MIDI OUT channels CH9 through CH16.

*3Inverted form not supported in some cases.

*4Chord consisting of root and 5th only.

*5 Not a standard chord, but used when you want Auto Accompaniment with the root note only, or the root with an octave added.

FINGERED ON BASS, FULL RANGE CHORD

In addition to the chords that can be fingered with FINGERED 1 and FINGERED 2, the following chords also are recognized.

^\#C · · · ^\#C · · ^bC · · ^bC · ^\#mC · ·
^\#mC · · ^bmC · · ^2mC · · ^\#dimC ·
· ^\#dimC · · ^bdimC · · · 7C · ^b7C
7C · 7C · ^bM7C · ^\#m7^b5C · 7C · 7C · ^aadd9C

NOTE

- With FINGERED ON BASS, the lowest note fingered is interpreted as the base note. Inverted forms are not supported.

- With FULL RANGE CHORD, when the lowest note fingered is a certain distance from the neighboring note, the chord is interpreted as a fraction chord.

- Unlike FINGERED 1, 2, and FINGERED ON BASS, FULL RANGE CHORD requires pressing of at least three keys to form a chord.
