See “Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for information about
disabling power on alert.
When this function is turned off, the piano does not turn
off automatically and no alert is performed no matter
how long it is left with no operation being performed.
The following describes what happens to settings and
memory contents when power is turned off.
When you turn off the piano by pressing the POWER button,
it “remembers” the current settings of certain parameters.
These settings remain in effect the next time you turn on the
piano.
For information on which parameters the piano remembers,
see the “Power Off Backup Items” of the “Parameter List” at
the back of this manual (page A-17).
In addition to the settings described above, the digital piano
also retains registration memory and sequencer contents
when power is turned off.
The piano comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain sequencer and other data
while piano power is turned off. If the power of the lithium
battery is low, turning off piano power can result in deletion
of all data stored in its memory.
The normal life of the original battery is five years from the
time it is loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and
storage, the original battery probably will not provide a full
five years of service life. It is up to you to contact your nearest
CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery
replaced periodically.
Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery
replacement.
Use the procedure on page E-81 to initialize the digital piano,
which clears all memory data and returns settings to their
initial factory defaults.

Connections
Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers.
Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the
MAIN 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.
Connect commercially available headphones to the digital
piano’s headphones jack. 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.
Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-
20) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s
DAMPER jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use
both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another
optionally available SP-20 pedal.
See “Using the Pedals” on page E-21 for information about
using a pedal.
Use commercially available cables to connect the external
audio equipment to the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as
shown in Figure
3. R jack output is right channel sound,
while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to
you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the
illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in
this configuration you must set the audio equipment’s input
selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX
IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital
piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.
Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to
the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure
4. R
jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack
output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO jack
only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to
purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the
illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital
piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.
Use only the accessories and options specified for this digital
piano. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury.

Basic Operations
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. This piano has 64-note
polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the piano. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the piano, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones provide only 32-
note polyphony.
A number of the tones that are available with this piano have
been recorded and processed using a technique called digital
sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are
taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to
provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to the
originals. You may notice very slight differences in volume or
sound quality for some tones when you play them at different
positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of
multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.
This piano lets you use up to four parts simultaneously for
your performances. The parts are named Upper1, Upper2,
Lower1, and Lower2, and the display shows the tone
currently assigned to each.
You can use the PART/(MIXER) button to display the tones
that are assigned for each part (Upper1, Upper2, Lower1,
Lower2). Each press of PART/(MIXER) button cycles through
the parts in the sequence shown below. While a part is
displayed, you can change the tone assigned to it (page E-18).
With layer you can assign two different tones (a main tone
and a layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play
whenever you press a key.
1. Select the main tone.
2. Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button to turn
on tone layering.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to
light.
The currently layered tone name appears on the
display. You can use the TONE buttons to change
the layered tone if you want.
3. Select the layered tone.
4. Now try playing something on the keyboard.
Both tones are played at the same time.
5. Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button again to
unlayer the tones and return the keyboard to
normal.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to go
out.
Layering is disabled during demo tune play and in the
Music Library Mode (while Music Library Mode lamp is lit).
Layering is achieved by sounding Upper1 and Upper2 of
mixer Group A. This means you can use the mixer to
change the volume balance and stereo pan position
parameters for both the main tone and layered tone. See
“Using the Mixer” on page E-46 for details.

With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone and
a split tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets you play
one tone with your left hand and another tone with your right
hand.
1. Select the main tone.
2. Press the SPLIT button.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to
light.
The current split tone name appears on the
display. You can use the TONE buttons to change
the split tone if you want.
3. Select the split tone.
4. Now try playing something on the keyboard.
The lower range (left side) of the keyboard is
assigned the split tone, while the upper range
(right side) is assigned the main tone.
The location on the keyboard where the
changeover between the two tones occurs is
called the split point. See “To change the location
of the split point” on this page for details on
changing the location of the split point.
5. Press the SPLIT button again to unsplit the
keyboard and return it to normal.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to go
out.
Split is disabled during demo tune play and in the Music
Library Mode (while Music Library Mode lamp is lit).
Split is achieved by sounding Upper1 and Lower1 of mixer
Group A. This means you can use the mixer to change the
volume balance and stereo pan position parameters for
both the main tone and split tone. See “Using the Mixer” on
page E-46 for details.
While holding down the SPLIT button, press the keyboard
key where you want the lowest note (the leftmost key) of the
upper range (right side range) to be.
No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.
You can use layer and split together to create a layered/split
keyboard. When you use layer and split in combination, the
high range of the keyboard is assigned two tones (main tone
+ layered tone), and the low range two tones (split tone +
layered/split tone).
1. Select the main tone, layered tone, split tone,
and layered/split tone.
Use the mixer to select the tones, following the
procedure under “Changing the Parameters of a
Part” on page E-47. The main tone is Upper1, the
layered tone is Upper2, the split tone is Lower1,
and the layered/split tone is Lower2.
2. Turn on both layer and split to layer/split the
keyboard.
Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button once to
turn on layer.
Press the SPLIT button to turn on split.
This causes the indicator lamps of both the
buttons to light.
The layered/split tone name appears on the
display. You can change the layered/split tone if
you want.
3. Now try playing something on the keyboard.
4. Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button and the
SPLIT button again to unlayer/unsplit the
keyboard and return it to normal.

Layer/split is produced by using mixer Group A Upper1,
Upper2, Lower1, and Lower2 at the same time. This means
you can use the mixer to change the volume balance and
stereo pan position parameters for each of the tones. See
“Using the Mixer” on page E-46 for details.
You can use the mixer to turn off individual channels (layer/
split tones). This means you could turn off Lower2, for
example, to sound a single tone in the lower range and two
layered tones in the upper range. See page E-46 for
details.
Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key
light system on or off.
1. While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the ONE TOUCH PRESET/(KEY LIGHT)
button to toggle the key light system on and off.
The pointer next to KEY LIGHT appears when
the key lighting system is turned on, and
disappears when it is turned off.
The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a
damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Use the
“Assign Left” setting described under “Setting: Pedal” on
page E-77 to assign the function you want to the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO jack. The power on default setting of the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO jack is SOFT.
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.
During memory playback and demo tune play, pedal
effects are applied to notes played on the keyboard only.

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.
J CASIO CHORD accompaniment keyboard and
melody keyboard
On the keyboard shown above, Lower1 and Lower2 are
assigned to the accompaniment keyboard range and
Upper1 and Upper2 are assigned to the melody keyboard
range.
When split is turned off (page E-20), the accompaniment
keyboard range keys do not sound any melody notes. In
this case, they are used to specify chords for the
accompaniment pattern.
You can expand the range of the accompaniment keyboard
by moving the keyboard’s split point to the right (page
E-20).
J Chord Types
CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of
chords with minimal fingering.
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.

Auto Accompaniment
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.
J FINGERED accompaniment keyboard and melody
keyboard
On the keyboard shown above, Lower1 and Lower2 are
assigned to the accompaniment keyboard range and
Upper1 and Upper2 are assigned to the melody keyboard
range.
When split is turned off (page E-20), the accompaniment
keyboard range keys do not sound any melody notes. In
this case, they are used to specify chords for the
accompaniment pattern.
You can expand the range of the accompaniment keyboard
by moving the keyboard’s split point to the right (page
E-20).
Recognized Chords
See the “Fingered/Full Range Chord Table” at the back of
this manual (page A-12) for information about the chords
that can be recognized in the Fingered Mode.
The chords that are recognized by the keyboard in the
FINGERED Mode depend on the current “On Bass
Chord”, “6th Chord”, and “Tension Chord” Accomp
settings. See “Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for
information about Accomp settings. Information about
how settings affect the type of chords recognized by the
keyboard can be found “Fingered/Full Range Chord
Table” at the back of this manual (page A-12).
In the FINGERED Mode, you can use standard fingering
(C-E-G for a C-chord, for example) or you can use inverted
fingerings (G-E-C, for example), as long as you play chords
within the accompaniment keyboard range. Note, however,
that using an inverted fingering will produce a different
chord entirely if the “On Bass Chord” Accomp setting is
turned on.
Generally, you must press all of the keys that make up
chords. Omitting a note or playing only a single note will not
produce a chord.
This mode can be used to play up to 238 different types of
chords. Pressing three or more keys in a pattern that is
recognized as a chord pattern by the keyboard causes the
corresponding chord to be played. Playing chords in a pattern
not recognized by the keyboard or pressing two keys or one
key causes the corresponding notes to be played as melody
notes. This means that the entire range of the keyboard acts as
both a melody keyboard and accompaniment keyboard.
J FULL RANGE CHORD accompaniment keyboard
and melody keyboard
Recognized Chords
See the “Fingered/Full Range Chord Table” at the back of
this manual for more information (page A-12).
Example:
To play the chord C major.
Either of the fingerings shown in the illustration below
will produce C major.

Synchro stop is the opposite of synchro start. It causes the
currently playing auto accompaniment pattern to stop when
the keys in the accompaniment keyboard range are released.
This feature is more than just a simple way to stop auto
accompaniment play. It plays auto accompaniment only
when valid chords are played inside the accompaniment
keyboard range.
The following procedures do not work in the normal Mode,
when all lamps above the MODE button are turned off.
J Using Synchro Stop to stop Auto Accompaniment
Select a rhythm and adjust its tempo.
Use the MODE button to specify the chord fingering mode
you want to use.
1. Press the START/STOP button to start play of
the selected rhythm.
2. Press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button.
This causes the right lamp above the button to
light, indicating that the keyboard is in synchro
stop standby.
3. Play a chord in the accompaniment keyboard
range and then release the keys.
This causes the auto accompaniment pattern to
stop playing and both lamps above the
SYNCHRO START/STOP button to light,
indicating that the keyboard is in synchro stop.
To exit synchro stop, press the SYNCHRO
START/STOP button twice so the two lamps go
out.
The section below describes what auto
accompaniment operations you can perform
while the keyboard is in synchro stop.
J Auto Accompaniment in Synchro Stop
The following are the auto accompaniment operations you
can perform while the keyboard is in synchro stop (both
lamps above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button lit).
Playing a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range
causes auto accompaniment to play (only while the chord
note keys are depressed). Releasing the keys causes auto
accompaniment play to stop, and the keyboard enters
synchro stop again.
Pressing the SYNCHRO START/STOP button while
playing a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range
causes the lamps above the button to go out, indicating
that the keyboard is no longer in synchro stop.
With synchro stop, you can easily create a break in auto
accompaniment play to allow for ad libbing, and then restart
accompaniment when you want.
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that
brings the rhythm you are using to a natural-sounding
conclusion.
1. While the rhythm is playing, press the ENDING
button.
This causes the ending pattern to play, which
brings rhythm accompaniment to an end.
The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on
when you press the ENDING button. If you press the button

The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody
notes”, while the notes added to the melody by auto
harmonize are called the “harmonize notes”. Auto harmonize
normally uses the tone you selected for the melody notes as
the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can use the mixer
(page E-46) to specify a different tone for the harmonize notes.
Harmonize tones correspond to mixer auto harmonize 1 and
2. This means you can specify the harmonize tones by
changing the tones assigned to auto harmonize 1 and 2.
In addition to the tone, you can also use the mixer to change
a number of other parameters, such as volume balance. See
“Changing the Parameters of a Part” on page E-47 for details
on these procedures.
The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on
auto harmonize is the same tone as the melody note tone.
Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes
the harmonize note tone to the same setting.
One-touch preset automatically makes the settings listed
below in accordance with the rhythm pattern you are using.

Applying E ffects to Tones
This piano provides you with a selection of effects that you
can apply to tones.
The following shows how the effects of this piano are
organized.
J DSP
DSP effects are applied to the connection between the sound
source and output (PA). You can select distortion and
modulation effects.
J REVERB
Reverb simulates the acoustics of specific types of
environments. You can choose from among 8 different reverb
effects, including “Room” and “Hall”.
J CHORUS
The chorus effect gives sound greater depth by causing it to
vibrate. You can choose from among 8 different chorus
effects, including “Chorus” and “Flanger”.
See the list on page A-11 for information about the types of
DSP, CHORUS and REVERB effects that are available.
Use the following procedures to configure the DSP, reverb, or
chorus effects.

The display exits the chorus effect setting screen
if you do not perform any operation for about 10
seconds. You can also exit the chorus effect
setting screen by pressing the EXIT/NO button.
Playing a demo tune (page E-11) automatically changes
the effect to the one that is assigned to the tune. You
cannot change or cancel a demo tune effect.
Changing the effect setting while sound is being output by
the piano causes a slight break in the sound when the
effect changes.
A number of tones, called “DSP tones” include automatic
DSP settings to bring out the full effect of the tone. If you
assign a DSP tone to a keyboard part (Upper1, Upper2,
Lower1, or Lower2), DSP turns on automatically and the
DSP selection changes*
1
in accordance with the settings of
the DSP tone. Also, the mixer Mode DSP on/off setting for
the keyboard part to which the DSP tone is assigned is
turned on.*
2
*1. When the mixer Mode DSP setting is turned on for
Upper1, the DSP selection and mixer Mode DSP on/off
setting of Upper2, Lower1, and Lower2 are
unchanged, even if you assign a DSP tone to them.
*2. The mixer Mode DSP on/off settings for all the other
parts are automatically turned off. Because of this,
DSP effects previously applied to these parts are
cancelled, which can make their tone sound different.
Whether or not an effect is applied to the parts that are
sounding also depends on mixer Mode Reverb Send,
Chorus Send, and DSP on/off settings. See “Using the
Mixer” on page E-46 for more information.
The reverb and chorus of parts whose mixer Mode DSP
setting is turned on is determined by the system setting of
the keyboard settings, and not by mixer Mode settings. See
“Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for more information.

The display also shows when you have to cross fingers to play
notes, and in which direction your fingers should cross.
Example:
Display for playing the notes below with the right hand
only
1 Crossed finger display
The display indicates that the index finger should cross
over the thumb.
Voice fingering guide uses a simulated human voice to call
out fingering numbers during Step 1 and Step 2 one-hand
part practice. If you need to press a key with your thumb, for
example, voice fingering guide says, “One!” In the case of a
chord to be played with your thumb, middle and little finger,
voice fingering guide says, “One, three, five!”
voice fingering guide calls out fingerings only when you do
not press the proper key when you should.
Use the lesson setting menu to turn voice fingering guide
on and off. See “Setting: Lesson” on page E-75 for more
information.
Note that voice fingering guide is available in either English
or Japanese. Use the lesson setting menu to select the
language you want to use. See “Setting: Lesson” on page
E-75 for more information.
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn
using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you
which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds
at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the
correct notes.
1. Select the Music Library tune you want to play.
2. Press the STEP 3 button to start Step 3 play.
Accompaniment (left hand part) starts to play at
normal speed.
3. Follow the key light system to press the correct
keyboard keys and play the melody (right hand
part).
4. To stop play at any time, press the STOP or
START/STOP button.
With Step 3 of two-hand practice, key lighting also indicates
note length. In this case, lighting indicates the keys you
should press, but the next key to be pressed does not flash.
With Step 3, the finger number for the next note does not
appear on the display. Only the finger number of the
current note is displayed.
You can also use pause, fast forward and fast reverse
operations with Step 3 play.
If you change the step, arrangement level, or lesson part
during step lesson playback, the change goes into effect
from the currently playing measure.

Using the Advanced Lesson System to Practice Along with a Music Library Tune
During lesson Step 3, notes, their lengths, and keys you need
to press to play them are indicated as described below.
J Note
The keyboard key you should press lights. The actual note is
shown in the staff notation area of the display. The display
also shows the fingers you should use to play notes.
J Note length
You should keep a keyboard key depressed as long as it
remains lit. The note remains in the on-screen staff notation
and the on-screen fingering remain on the display for the
duration of the note.
J Next note
In Step 3, the key for the next note to be played does not flash.
Use the procedure under “Adjusting the Tempo” on page
E-26 to adjust the tempo for 3-step lesson play.
You can select from among 271 built-in tones for the lesson
part. You can even change the lesson part tone setting while
lesson play is in progress.
See “Selecting a Tone” on page E-18 for more information.
Specifying the tune number for the same tune that is
currently selected returns the tone to the default setting for
that tune.
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button during Step 1, 2, or 3
play pauses the step lesson. Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again
resumes normal (non-lesson) playback of the tune from
the measure where you paused the step lesson. Pressing
a step selector button while the lesson is paused resumes
accompaniment for the corresponding step from the
measure where the lesson was paused.
Pressing the step selector button for the same step where
you paused the lesson restarts the lesson from the
beginning, using the same step.
You can use repeat during a lesson (Step 1, 2, or 3) and
during normal playback.
You can turn on a pre-count to sound at the beginning of
the song or at a repeat start point. See “Setting: Lesson”
on page E-75 for more information.

Using the Mixer
As mentioned above, the word “part” as used in relation to
this piano has the same meaning as it does in an orchestra or
band. It also refers to the Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, and
Lower2 parts of the keyboard that you use when layering or
splitting keyboard tones (page E-19).
The following example shows a typical list of parts when you
are using auto accompaniment with Upper1 and Upper2
tones layered in the melody keyboard range.
Much like a real band, auto accompaniment patterns and
patterns you create with the sequencer are played using
multiple “parts”, such as chords, bass, and drum parts. The
mixer provides you with the means to turn individual parts
on (so they sound) and off (so they don’t), and to change the
tone, volume, pan, effect, and other parameters of each part.
This piano is capable of producing a total of 30 different parts.
Parts can be broadly classified as one of two different groups:
Group A and Group B.
J Group A
Group A parts are the ones the piano normally uses for auto
accompaniments and to produce the notes you play. There
are 14 Group A parts, including six “melody parts” (for
keyboard notes), and eight “accompaniment parts” (for auto
accompaniment).
J Group B
There are 16 Group B parts that the piano uses for sounding
MIDI input from an external source. Each of the Group B
parts also corresponds to one of the 16 tracks of the piano’s
sequencer (page E-53).

parameter.
Press the EXIT/NO button to return to the part
selection screen in step 3 of this procedure.
Any time during the above procedure, you can
select another part by pressing the PART/
(MIXER) button.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to change the settings
of other parameters if you want.
When changing parameter settings, you can play
notes on the keyboard as you change parameter
settings to see what effect your settings have.
8. After you are finished making the settings you
want, press the EXIT/NO button.
This section provides detailed explanations of each of the
mixer parameters, and their setting ranges.
J Tone: 271
This parameter controls the tones assigned to each part.
You can also change the tone assignment with the TONE
buttons. The tone you select is applied to the currently
selected part.
Use DRUM tone group values for the “Drum” and
“Percussion” parts.
You cannot select DRUM tone group values for “Bass”, or
“Chord” parts.
Changing the tone assigned to the Upper1 also changes
the tone assigned to Harmo1. Changing the tone assigned
to the Upper2 also changes the tone assigned to Harmo2.
J Part On/Off: On, Off
This parameter can be used to turn each part on (sounds) and
off (does not sound). The current on/off status of a part is
indicated by the on-screen level meter. See “Level Meter
Screen” on page E-13 for more information.
J Volume: 0 to 127
This parameter adjusts the overall volume of each part.
J Pan: –64 to 63*
Use this parameter to adjust the pan setting (volume balance
between the left and right speakers). A value of 0 puts the
speakers in balance, so the stereo center is halfway between
the two speakers. A smaller value shifts the stereo center left,
while a larger value shifts it right.
* When “On” is selected for the DSP you are using, these
settings are applied in accordance with each DSP
parameter setting.
The mixer lets you control the effects applied to each
individual part, making it different from the Effect Mode,
whose settings are applied to all parts in general.
J Reverb Send: 0 to 127
This parameter controls how much reverb is applied to a part.
A setting of 0 turns reverb off, while a setting of 127 applies
maximum reverb.
J Chorus Send: 0 to 127
This parameter controls how much chorus send is applied to
a part. A setting of 0 turns chorus send off, while a setting of
127 applies maximum chorus send.
“Chorus Send” does not work with drum sounds.
J DSP: On, Off
You can use this parameter to turn DSP off for a particular
channel, or to turn it on.

Using the Mixer
You can use these parameters to individually tune each of the
parts individually.
J Coarse Tune: –24 to 24
This parameter tunes individual parts in semitone units,
which means that changing the value by 1 changes the tuning
by one semitone.
The setting you make here is added to the transpose
setting described in “Transposing the Piano” on page
E-31.
“Coarse Tune” does not work with drum sounds.
J Fine Tune: –64 to 63
This parameter allows fine tuning of individual parts. A
setting of –64 lowers the tuning by one semitone from normal,
while 63 represents a rise of one semitone. This setting is
applied by combining it with the “Tune setting” item of the
Keyboard Settings.

Using the Sequencer

Using the Sequencer
The sequencer provides you with powerful tools for
recording up to 10 songs into piano memory. You can record
auto accompaniments and the notes you play with them, or
you can build your creation part-by-part using the
sequencer’s 17 tracks.
The sequencer provides you with capabilities that are similar
to a tape recorder. You can record things you play on the
keyboard and play them back. There is enough memory to
store about 15,500 notes, and this total memory can be
divided between up to 10 “songs”.
Each song consists of up to 17 tracks, one system track and 16
tracks numbered 1 through 16. You can record tracks one at a
time and then play them back at the same time, which layers
everything together and give you the potential of becoming a
one-person orchestra.
The sequencer’s system track is used for recording auto
accompaniments. More precisely, it records the eight parts
that make up auto accompaniment, the four melody parts
(Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, Lower2), and two parts required
for harmony when auto harmonize is turned on.
Each of the 16 tracks can be used to record the notes played
for one particular musical instrument (tone).
Each track is independent of the others. This means that if
you make a mistake while recording, you need only to re-
record one track.
You should use Tracks 1 through 9 and Tracks 11 through
16 mainly for non-drum sound tones, and Track 10 mainly
for drum sound tones. Otherwise, tones may not be correct
during playback or when saving data to an SMF file.
There are two techniques you can use for sequencer
recording: realtime recording and punch in recording.
J Realtime Recording
With realtime recording, you record what you play on the
keyboard as you play it.
J Punch In Recording
This method lets you re-record from a specific section of a
song that is already in memory. You can use punch-in
recording to correct mistakes you made during real-time
recording.

The following are the three basic types of data recorded by the
sequencer.
The time signture setting (stored in the song header).
Initial track parameters (stored in the song header).
Parameter changes and operations performed during
recording (stored at the point in the recording where you
make them).
You should also note that the data you can record in the
system track is different from the data you can record in
the 16 tracks.
For more detailed information about the data that can be
recorded in each track, see the “Parameter List” at the back
of this User’s Guide (page A-17).
The settings of the parameters listed below are stored as
header data and applied to all tracks. You cannot change
these settings part way through a song or for a particular
track.

Using the Sequencer
You can store about 15,500 notes in sequencer memory, which
can be divided among up to 10 songs. You can use all 15,500
notes for a single song, if you want.
Remaining memory capacity is indicated by a percentage
value that appears for a few seconds after you enter
record standby.
Recording stops automatically when memory becomes
full. Play of the auto accompaniment or rhythm pattern
you are using also stops when memory becomes full.
You can record up to 1,000 measures per tune.
Starting a record operation deletes any data currently
stored in the selected song area.
Sequencer memory contents are retained even when you
turn off the piano. Power required for memory storage is
supplied by a built-in back-up lithium battery. See
“Lithium Battery” on page E-90 for important
information about the lithium battery.
Turning off piano power while a record operation is in
progress or standing by causes all sequencer contents to
be deleted.

Using the Realtime Record Mode to record to a track that
already contains data replaces the existing data with the
new recording.
If you make a mistake while recording, you can start over
again from step 1 of the above procedure, or you can use
punch in recording (page E-59) to make modifications.
J To record without auto accompaniment
In step 5 of the above procedure, turn off auto
accompaniment (so none of the lamps above the MODE
button are lit).
You can turn auto accompaniment on or off part way
through a recording, if you want.
J To use synchro start to start recording
At any time before you perform step 5 of the above
procedure, press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button.
Both auto accompaniment and recording will start when
you play a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range
during record standby prior to step 7.
J To insert an intro, fill-in, break, etc.
You can use any of the following buttons during realtime
system track recording: INTRO, FILL-IN, BREAK,
VARIATION 1/2, SYNCHRO START/STOP, ENDING.
J To synchro start recording with an intro pattern
At any time before you perform step 5 of the above
procedure, press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button and
then press INTRO.
Recording will start and the intro will play, followed by
auto accompaniment when you play a chord in the
accompaniment keyboard range during record standby
prior to step 7.
J To start rhythm pattern play part way through a
recording
In step 6 of the above procedure, turn off auto
accompaniment (so none of the lamps above the MODE
button are lit). After recording is started, press one of the
VARIATION 1/2 buttons to start rhythm play (without
chords). Now you can use the MODE button to select an auto
accompaniment mode and play chords on the
accompaniment keyboard.
Use Tracks 1 through 16 to add other parts to the
accompaniment and keyboard notes you record in the system
track. You can then turn tracks on and off during playback to
create the arrangement you want.
The recording procedure for tracks 1 through 16 is basically
the same as that for recording to the system track. Skip the
first two steps of the procedure if you go into the recording of

Using MIDI
E-66
Using 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 (devices) 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 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.
MIDI messages are sent out through the MIDI OUT terminal
of one device to the MIDI IN terminal of another device over
a MIDI cable. To send a message from this piano to another
device, for example, you must use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI OUT terminal of this piano to the MIDI IN terminal of
the other device. To send MIDI messages back to this piano,
you need to use a MIDI cable to connect the other device’s
MIDI OUT terminal to the MIDI IN terminal of this piano.
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and
playback the MIDI data produced by this piano, you must
connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both devices
in order to send and receive data.
There is a third MIDI terminal named MIDI THRU, which
passes any MIDI messages received by the MIDI IN terminal
on to another device.
1 Computer, etc.
This piano also has a USB terminal that can be used to
connect to a computer. See “Connecting to a Computer” on
page E-69 for more information.
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.).
This 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 piano are sent out by
selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the
appropriate message.
Though MIDI makes it possible to exchange musical data
between devices produced by different manufacturers, MIDI
musical data does not indicate the actual notes themselves,
but rather information on whether a keyboard key is pressed
or released, and the tone number.
If tone number 1 on a keyboard produced by Company A is
PIANO while tone number 1 on a Company B’s keyboard is
BASS, for example, data that is played using the PIANO tone
on Company A’s keyboard will be played using the BASS
tone on Company B’s keyboard. If a computer, sequencer or
other device with auto accompaniment capabilities is used to
produce music data for the Company A keyboard which has
16 parts (16 channels) and then that data is sent to the
Company B keyboard which can receive only 10 parts (10
channels), some of the parts will not sound.
To overcome problems such as these, the industry has come
up with standard numbering for tones, pads, and other
general factors that determine the sound source
configuration. This standard is called “General MIDI”.
General MIDI defines the tone numbering sequence, the
drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI
channels that can be used, and other general factors that
determine the sound source configuration. Because of this,
musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source can
be played back using similar tones and identical nuances as
the original, even when played on another manufacturer’s
sound source.
This piano conforms to General MIDI standards, so it can be
connected to a computer or other device and used to play
back General MIDI data that has been purchased,
downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other
source.

Using MIDI
This piano can send notes you play on the keyboard, as well
as auto accompaniment patterns and sequencer playback as
MIDI messages to another device.
J Keyboard Play
Each keyboard part (Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, Lower2) can
be sent over its own individual MIDI channel. When auto
harmonize is turned on, harmonize notes are also sent over
each individual MIDI channel.
J Auto Accompaniment Play
Each accompaniment part can be sent over its own individual
MIDI channel. The “Accomp MIDI Out” parameter (page
E-79) is used to specify whether a part is sent.
J Sequencer Playback
The following describes how track data can be sent over
individual MIDI channels.
System Track
Each part (Group A) that makes up the system track can
be sent over its own individual MIDI channel.
Tracks 1 through 16
Tracks 1 through 16 correspond to Group B parts 1
through 16. Each part can be sent over its own individual
MIDI channel.
J Part Send Channels
Use the procedure on page E-71 and the information on page
E-79 to assign a send channel for each part.
J Multi Channel Receive
The 16 external parts can be used to receive data over 16 MIDI
message channels at the same time. Receive channel
assignments for each part can be made using the “MIDI
Receive Channel” parameter (page E-80).
J Chord Changes when Using Auto Accompaniment
MIDI messages received from an external device can be
interpreted as chord changes as specified by the fingerings
supported by the auto accompaniment system of this piano.
Use the “MIDI In Chord Judge” parameter (page E-79) to turn
this capability on and off.
See the MIDI Implementation Chart at the back of this
User’s Guide for more information about each MIDI
message.

Parameter Setting Items
Setting: Tune
Main Menu Sub Menu Settings Description
Tune Master Tune
(Master)
415.3 Hz ~ 466.2 Hz Specifies the frequency of A4. The initial default setting is
A
4=440.0Hz. See “Tuning the Piano” on page E-31 for
more information.
Baroque Pitch
(Baroque)
On (A4=415.3Hz),
Off
Turning on Baroque Pitch automatically changes the
tuning of the keyboard to Baroque era standard pitch,
which is about a semitone lower than modern pitch. The
initial default setting is Off.
Stretch Tune
(Stretch)
On, Off Selecting Off disables the piano tone tuning curve (higher
high range, lower low range). The initial default setting is
On.
The tuning curve is not suitable for classical tuning.
Specifying classical tuning as the temperament type
causes the Stretch Tune setting to return to Off
automatically. Even when Stretch Tune is turned on, the
tuning curve is not applied to non-piano tones.
Temperament Type
(Temp Type)
Besides the normally used Equal Temperament, you can
select from among six other classical temperaments. The
initial default setting is Equal Temperament (Equal).
Equal Temperament
(Equal)
The octave is divided into 12 equal parts and assigned to
white and black keys. This is the tuning normally used for
today’s keyboard musical instruments.
Just Major
Intonation (JustMaj)
Historically, this temperament came into being with the
development of triads. Within a single tonality (major
key), essential major triads produce perfectly
harmonious, beautiful sound. Just Major Intonation also,
however, includes dissonant intervals, and its weakness
is a lack of modulation freedom, etc.

Just Minor
Intonation (JustMin)
This temperament arranges just major intonation to
provide perfect harmony within a single tonality (minor
key). Within the 12 notes, 11 of the notes are the same
pitch as just major intonation.
Pythagorean System
(Pythago)
This temperament, which uses a 12-note octave, is
thought to be the oldest. Of the 12 types of perfect fifths
that can be played, 11 are in perfect harmony. Thirds are
unharmonious and dissonant, and are appropriate for
melody play.
Mean – Tone System
(Mean)
This highly practical temperament provides many of the
merits (beautiful triads) of just intonation, plus
modulation capabilities. It was used as a keyboard tuning
method for a long period following the Renaissance.
Werckmeister
(Werck)
This is a kind of unequal temperament that allows play of
all tonality. It is believed that Bach’s “The Well-Tempered
Clavier” was written using this temperament. Using a
root of C makes the dominant tonality of the white keys
close to mean-tone, and the dominant tonality of the
black keys close to Pythagorean System.
Kirnberger (Kirnber) This is also a type of unequal temperament, which is also
similar to the Werckmeister tuning described above. The
chromatic differential of the white key dominant tonality
and black key dominant tonality is more pronounced.
Temperament Root
(Temp Root)
C, C
#
, D, E
b
, E, F, F
#
,
G, A
b
, A, B
b
, B
Specifies the root of a temperament. The initial default
setting is C. Selecting a different root for equal
temperament does not make a difference in the sound,
but a difference can be noted with classical
temperaments. For classical temperaments other than
Werckmeister and Kirnberger, specify the tonality
keynote of the piece you are playing when using a
classical temperament.

*1. Rhythm elements are preset with optimum default mixer settings, which are normally applied automatically when you use
auto accompaniment. Turning on “Mixer Hold” uses your settings instead of the preset defaults.
*2. This setting is mainly used with the FINGERED auto accompaniment mode, and it helps to turn it on when you want to play
“on bass chords” within the relatively limited accompaniment keyboard range. You can leave this setting off if you are playing
both the bass note and the other notes of the chord in the accompaniment keyboard range. Even when “On Bass Chord” is
turned off, a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range with a fingering that separates the lowest note and the next lowest
note by five tones or more is always interpreted as an “on bass chord” whose root is the lowest note.

Rhythms whose names are shaded in the “Rhythm Name” column of the above table are piano-only accompaniment rhythms. These
rhythms are made up of chord accompaniments only, without drum or other rhythm sounds. Because of this, these rhythms do not
sound while auto accompaniment is turned off (all the indicator lamps above the MODE button are off). You can specify chords by
using these rhythms while auto accompaniment is turned on (indicated when one of the indicator lamps above the MODE button is lit).
