Other Useful Functions

To change the key of the keyboard

The transpose feature of this keyboard lets you raise or lower

its key in semitone increments. This means you can easily

match to suit someone’s voice, and you can eliminate sharps

and flats from music making it easier to play.

While in any mode besides the Song Bank Mode

(indicated when the SONG BANK indicator is

lit), hold down the TONE button and press the

RHYTHM button.

• Perform step 2 within five seconds after performing

step 1.

Use the TEMPO buttons to change the key of

the keyboard.

Example: To change the tuning to B (indicated by -1

since it is one tone below C, which is the

normal tuning of the keyboard).

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes

you can play at the same time. This keyboard has 12-note

polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the

rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played

by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-

accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the

number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is

reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 6-note

polyphony.

• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the

number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

• Though you can sound up to 12 notes at one time, only the

last four keyboard keys pressed light up.

accompaniment pattern adjusts automatically to follow the

progression you play.

You get a choice between two different methods for chord

play. FINGERED lets you play chords as you normally do,

while CASIO CHORD makes it possible to play fully formed

chords with one finger.

About the accompaniment keyboard

The lower (left) 1.5 octaves are reserved for use as an

accompaniment keyboard whenever you select CASIO

CHORD or FINGERED with the POWER/MODE selector.

The panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys is marked

with the names of the notes they play. The remainder of the

keyboard (the part that is not included in the accompaniment

keyboard) is called the melody keyboard. Please be sure to

remember these terms, because they will be used throughout

the rest of this manual.
