Welcome...

To the happy family of satisfied CASIO electronic musical instrument owners! To get the most

• Dim power supply indicator
• Instrument does not turn on
• Dim, difficult to read display
• Abnormally low speaker/headphone volume
• Distortion of sound output
• Occasional interruption of sound when playing at high volumes
• Sudden power failure when playing at high volumes
• Dimming of the display when playing at high volume
• Abnormal rhythm pattern and demo tune play
• Dimming of keyboard lights when notes sound
• Loss of power, sound distortion, or low volume when playing from a connected computer

or MIDI device

Main Features

100 amazingly realistic tones

Enhanced auto-accompaniment function for greater versatility

• 100 built in auto-accompaniment patterns.

100 Built-in Song Bank tunes

• A total of 100 built-in Song Bank tunes comes built in for playback enjoyment or play-along

practice.

A three-step lesson function lets you develop your musical skills by following
the keys as they light (Three Step Lesson System).

• First you become familiar with the timing of the notes by watching the keys light as you

playback one of the 100 built-in Song Bank tunes. Next, practice playing along at a pace
that’s comfortable for you. Finally, try playing along at the normal tempo for the Song Bank
tune.

Auto Accompaniment

• Simply specify a chord and the keyboard automatically produces the matching rhythm,

bass, and chord patterns. One-touch fill-ins make accompaniments sound interesting and
natural.

Transpose Function

• An easy operation instantly changes the key of the keyboard.

MIDI compatibility

• Connecting to another MIDI device lets you sound notes on both this keyboard and the

connected device by playing on this keyboard. You can even playback commercially avail-
able pre-recorded MIDI data.
