More about tones

Polyphony

This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Note, however, that the tones listed below are capable of only 32-note polyphony. GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO, HONKY-TONK, ELEC PIANO 1, HARPSICHORD, STRINGS 1, CHOIR, SYNTH-PAD, RIDE ACO BASS

Touch Response

The touch response feature causes changes in the volume and the sound of the tone in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like an acoustic piano.

Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the original musical instrument normally produces the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.

Digitally Sampled Tones

The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and in results produced when using effects. These differences are normal and do not indicate malfunction.

Adjusting the Brilliance of a Tone

You can use the BRILLIANCE slider to adjust the clarity and sharpness of a tone to suit your music and personal preferences.

  1. Slide the BRILLIANCE slider left and right to adjust the brilliance of a tone to the level that you want.

  2. Moving the slider towards MELLOW produces a more mellow sound, while moving it toward BRIGHT produces a brighter sound.

Using Digital Effects

This digital piano provides you with a selection of digital effects that you can apply to tones. The following provides general descriptions of each effect, but the best way to find out how they affect tones is to experiment for yourself.

Using the Pedals

This digital piano comes equipped with the three pedals shown in the illustration below.

CASIO AP-38 - Using the Pedals - 1

Pedal functions

  • Damper pedal
  • Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. In the case of the PIPE ORGAN and STRINGS tones, pressing this pedal sustains the notes played until you release the pedal.
  • 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.

NOTE

  • The following shows how pedal effects are applied during different types of operations.
While you are performing this type of operation:Pedal effects are applied to:
Song memory recordingNotes played on the keyboard only

About the Song Memory

Song Memory Capacity

  • There are two song memory tracks named Track A and Track B. The two tracks can store a combined total of approximately 8,000 notes.
  • Recording stops automatically and the indicator above the RECORD button goes out whenever memory becomes full.

Recorded Data

The following is a list of the data that can be recorded in song memory once recording starts.

  • Anything you played on the keyboard (received MIDI data not recorded)
  • Tone settings (including layered tones, layered tone volume, split tones, split tone volume, split point) and any tone setting changes
  • Tempo and beat settings used during recording
  • Pedal operations
  • Reverb settings
  • Chorus settings

Recorded Data Storage

This digital piano has a lithium battery to supply power to retain memory contents even while power is off.* The life of the lithium battery is five years after the date of manufacture of the digital piano. Be sure to contact your CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced every five years.

  • Never turn off piano power while a record operation is in progress.

IMPORTANT!

  • If the data recorded in a single track uses up all the available Song Memory capacity, you will not be able to record anything in the other track.
  • Recording new data to a track automatically deletes any data previously stored in that track. A lit track indicator means that the track already contains data.
  • Turning off power while a record operation is in progress deletes anything recorded up to that point.
  • CASIO shall not be held responsible for any losses by you or any third party due to loss of data caused by malfunction or repair of this digital piano, or by battery replacement.

  • Release the CONTROL button to exit temperament setting.

NOTE

  • If you select the temperament only without specifying the root in the above procedure, the root automatically becomes C.
  • Temperament root settings are not affected when you change the Transpose setting.
  • The keys you should press to set the root in step 3 of the above procedure are fixed. They are not affected by transpose settings, etc.

About Temperaments

Equal Temperament

This tuning system is the most widely used for keyboard musical instruments in the world today. The octave is divided into 12 semitones that are equal in frequency ratio. With this system, you can perform in all the major and minor keys without any adjustment. Though we take this system for granted these days, it was a revolutionary development in the history of music. Equal Temperament tuning has been the most common system used in the world since the middle of the 18th Century.

Kirnberger III

This is also one of the precursors to equal temperament. It is an evolution of just intonation and the mean-tone system, and all keys (from C-major to F -major) can be used for keyboard play.

- Werckmeister

Werckmeister is a famous theorist who also did research on equal temperament. This particular system is said to be a precursor to equal temperament, and all keys (from C-major to F#-major) can be used for keyboard play.

- Mean-Tone System

This system was the first actually used for tuning of keyboard musical instruments. It was widely used starting from the Renaissance up until the second half of the 18th Century. During the days of Handel and Bach, it was employed for cembalos, organs, and pianos.

Pythagorean System

This system was developed by the philosopher Pythagoras sometime during the 5th Century B.C. Most of the fifths in this system do not deviate from the "pure" (acoustically correct) intervals. The Pythagorean system is perfect within a small range of tones and in the simple keys, but it becomes inadequate in others. Despite this, this system was used for Middle Age religious music, which was performed (sung) using only the simple keys.

- Just Intonation

This system is one of the "pure" systems in which many of the fifths and thirds are acoustically correct. Try setting the root to C and playing C, E, G.

Using Baroque Pitch

During the Baroque Era, standard pitch (A4) was lower than the modern standard. The Baroque pitch setting of your digital piano lets you play Baroque era music at the pitch it was written for.

Use the keys shown below to change the Baroque pitch setting.

CASIO AP-38 - Using Baroque Pitch - 1

A^5 ON: Baroque pitch (A_4 = 415.3Hz)

G5...OFF: Modern standard (A4 = 440.0Hz)

To turn Baroque pitch off and on

  1. Hold down the CONTROL button. Note that you must keep the CONTROL button depressed until step 3, below.
  2. While still holding down the CONTROL button, switch baroque pitch on or off by pressing one of the keyboard keys illustrated below.

CASIO AP-38 - To turn Baroque pitch off and on - 1
A5 (black key) : ON
G5:OFF

  • No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.

  • Release the CONTROL button.

NOTE

  • The Baroque pitch setting you make is retained until you change it or until you switch power off. Whenever you switch power on, the default setting is off (A4 = 440.0Hz).

MIDI

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages. Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI to use this digital piano as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going.

What you can do with MIDI

Send

CASIO AP-38 - Send - 1

  • What you play on the digital piano can be sent to the connected device as MIDI messages ^*1 . The connected device sounds notes in accordance with the messages it receives.
  • MIDI messages ^1 can be sent from the digital piano to a commercially available MIDI sequencer ^2 for recording.

Receive

CASIO AP-38 - Receive - 1

  • The digital piano can be used to sound notes sent as MIDI messages from a connected device.
  • Commercially available MIDI piano data can be sent from a MIDI sequencer*2 or MIDI-capable personal computer for playback on the digital piano. Up to 16 parts can be played simultaneously by the digital piano.

1 Keyboard play and memory playback data can be sent as MIDI data. Demo tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.
2 A device that contains memory storage for MIDI data. Some MIDI sequencers feature external storage capabilities, which let you record a virtually unlimited number of tunes.

MIDI Connections

Two MIDI cables, one for sending and one for receiving, are required for two-way recording and playback capabilities with a connected MIDI sequencer or other device.

MIDI Channels

MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through 16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you exchange data (key press, pedal operation, etc.).

Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and all other channels are ignored.

This digital piano is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities, which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time.

Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this digital piano are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appropriate message.

Simultaneous Receive Over Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)

The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital piano's built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from a commercially available multi-track sequencer.

NOTE

  • See "Assigning Tones to Individual Channels" on this page for details on assigning tones to each channel.
  • Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously (Channel 1 through channel 16).
  • The number of channels to be received simultaneously cannot be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to cancel a channel, the cancel operation must be performed on the sending side.

Specifying the Keyboard Channel

The keyboard channel is the channel used when sending MIDI messages to another MIDI device. You can specify any channel from 1 through 16 as the keyboard channel.

To specify the keyboard channel

  1. While holding down the CONTROL button, specify the keyboard channel by pressing one of the keyboard keys shown in the illustration below.

CASIO AP-38 - To specify the keyboard channel - 1
Example: Channel 8

  • A note does not sound when you press a keyboard key while holding down CONTROL.

NOTE

  • The keyboard channel is automatically set to 1 whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

Assigning Tones to Individual Channels

You can assign tones to channels using a Program Change message sent from a connected MIDI device. You cannot change the tone assigned to each channel from the digital piano.

NOTE

  • The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to all channels whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

Sending Song Memory Playback Data

You can send song memory playback as MIDI data. The send channel used depends on the keyboard channel setting, as shown in the table below.

Keyboard PlayKeyboard Channel
Keyboard main tone dataKeyboard Channel
Keyboard layer tone dataKeyboard Channel + 1*
Keyboard split tone dataKeyboard Channel + 2*
Main tone data inside of Track A playback dataKeyboard Channel + 3*
Layer tone data inside of Track A playback dataKeyboard Channel + 4*
Split tone data inside of Track A playback dataKeyboard Channel + 5*
Main tone data inside of Track B playback dataKeyboard Channel + 6*
Layer tone data inside of Track B playback dataKeyboard Channel + 7*
Split tone data inside of Track B playback dataKeyboard Channel + 8*
  • Whenever adding the keyboard channel number to a value from 1 to 8 produces a result that is greater than 16, the send channel used is the one whose number is equal to the result minus 16.

NOTE

  • Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back from song memory, and does not affect your performance on the keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano are applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the song memory.

Turning Local Control On and Off

This setting effectively determines whether or not the keyboard and pedals of the digital piano are connected to the digital piano's sound source, as illustrated below.

CASIO AP-38 - Turning Local Control On and Off - 1

When Local Control is on (the normal setting), anything played on the keyboard is sounded by the internal sound source and simultaneously output from the MIDI OUT terminal. When off, anything played on the keyboard is output from the MIDI OUT terminal only, without being sounded by the sound source.

Local Control can be turned off when you are using the digital piano as the sound source of a connected sequencer or other device, and you want to guard against sound being produced should the digital piano keyboard be pressed accidentally.

To turn Local Control on and off

  1. While still holding down the CONTROL button, switch Local Control on and off by pressing one of the keyboard keys illustrated below.

CASIO AP-38 - To turn Local Control on and off - 1

  • A note does not sound when you press a keyboard key while holding down CONTROL.

NOTE

  • Note that no sound will be produced from the digital piano's speakers if you press the keyboard while Local Control is turned off.
  • Local Control is turned on automatically whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

MIDI Data Notes

This section provides details about the MIDI data this digital piano sends and receives. You can also find further technical information in the "MIDI Data Format" on page A-4 and "MIDI Implementation Chart"* at the end of this User's Guide.

  • The MIDI Implementation Chart is a standard format summary of how data is transferred between this digital piano and a connected MIDI device.
