Before connecting phones or other external equipment, be

sure to first turn down the volume settings of the keyboard

and the connected equipment. You can then adjust volume

to the desired level after connections are complete.

[Rear Panel]

Connecting Phones (Figure 1)

Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard’s built-

in speakers, so you can play even late at night without dis-

turbing anyone.

Audio Equipment (Figure 2)

Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a com-

mercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on

one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the

standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo

plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo

channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input

selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually

marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from

the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that

comes with your audio equipment for full details.

Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)

Use a commercially available connecting cord* to connect the

keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

*Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard

plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a con-

nector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to

the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type

of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo chan-

nels to be lost.

When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the

volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make

output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

This section provides information on performing basic key-

board operations.

Playing the Keyboard

To play the keyboard

1.

Set the POWER/MODE switch to NORMAL.

2.

Use the MAIN VOLUME buttons to lower the

keyboard volume.

•It’s always a good idea to set the keyboard volume at

a relatively low level before playing.

•Pressing [왖] or [왔] causes the current volume setting

to appear on the display. Press [왖] or [왔] again to

change the setting.

3.

Play something on the keyboard.

Selecting a Tone

This keyboard comes with 100 built-in tones. Use the follow-

ing procedure to select the tone you want to use.

To select a tone

1.

Find the tone you want to use in the keyboard’s

tone list and note its tone number.

2.

Press the TONE button.

Basic Operations

3.

Use the number buttons to input the two digit

tone number for the tone you want to select.

Example: To select “26 WOOD BASS”, input 2 and then

6 .

•Now notes played on the keyboard will be played

using an acoustical wood bass sound.

❚

NOTE

•Always input both digits for the tone number, including a lead-

ing zero (if any). If you input one digit and stop, the display will

automatically clear your input after a few seconds.

•You can also increment the displayed tone number by press-

ing [+] and decrement it by pressing [–].

•The names of tone numbers 60 through 89 are not marked on

the keyboard console. See the “Tone List” (page A-1) for de-

tails.

•Sound effect tones such as 77 VEHICLE sound best when you

keep a keyboard key depressed.

Combination tones

The following describes the two types of combination tones

that are available.

Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)

Example: 80 STR PIANO

This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both

sound when a keyboard key is pressed.

Split Tones (Tone Numbers: 90 through 96)

Example: 90 BASS/PIANO

This tone splits the keyboard so one range is assigned a bass

tone and another range is assigned a piano tone.

Percussion sounds

Example: 99 PERCUSSION

This tone assigns various percussion sounds to the keyboard.

See the “Percussion Instrument List” on page A-5 for full de-

tails.

Sound Effect Tones

With sound effect tones 77 through 79, the type of sound pro-

duced depends on the octave where the key you press is lo-

cated. When 78 PHONE is selected available sound types are

PUSH TONE 1, PUSH TONE 2, RING 1, RING 2, and BUSY

SIGNAL.

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes

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

lyphony, 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.

❚

NOTE

•When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number

of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

Digital Sampling

A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard

have been recorded and processed using a technique called

digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, sam-

ples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then com-

bined 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 unavoid-

able result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of mal-

function.

Using the Microphone Jack

(CTK-491 only)

Connecting a commercially available microphone to the MIC

IN jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s

built-in tunes or with output from a MIDI device. When con-

necting a microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOL-

UME to a relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level

you want after connecting.

1.

When connecting a microphone, we recommend

that you set the MIC VOLUME to a very low lev-

el.

2.

Turn on the microphone’s ON/OFF switch.

3.

Use the MIC VOLUME to adjust microphone

volume to the level you want.

IMPORTANT!

•Be sure to use the microphone’s ON/OFF switch to turn off

the microphone and to disconnect the microphone from

the keyboard whenever you are not using it.

Required Microphone Specifications

•Microphone Type : Metal shielded

(microphone body)

•Microphone and Cord

Connector : Cannon type (3-prong)

•Keyboard Jack Connector : Standard plug (monaural)

IMPORTANT!

•Connection to the MIDI terminal of an external device can

cause static in the microphone signal. Use of a Cannon

type microphone with a metal-shielded body helps to pre-

vent static.

•Be sure to disconnect the microphone from the keyboard

whenever you are not using it.

Howling (Feedback Noise)

Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback

noise).

•Covering the head of the microphone with your hand

•Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker

Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further

away from the head, and move away from any nearby speak-

er.

Static Noise

Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone

signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you

suspect may be causing the static.

GERED for these tunes, regardless of the POWER/MODE

switch setting.

Two-hand Tunes (Tune Numbers 80 to 99)

During playback of these tunes in the Song Bank Mode, the

entire keyboard functions as a melody, regardless of the POW-

ER/MODE switch setting.

❚

NOTE

•With two-hand tunes (80 to 99), you cannot turn off both the

left-hand and right-hand parts at the same time. Turning off a

part causes the other part to turn on automatically.

•The selected Song Bank tune continues to repeat until you stop

playback by pressing the STOP button.

•The accompaniment volume setting (page E-21) affects auto-

accompaniment tunes (00 to 79) only.

•Chord names are not displayed during playback of two-hand

tunes (80 to 99).

•Turning off both the left-hand and right-hand parts of the auto-

accompaniment tunes (00 to 79) results in obbligato accompa-

niment being played.

Chord Names

Chords are named using upper-case letters from A through

G, which indicate the root note of the chord. If the root note

is a sharp or flat, the chord itself is sharp or flat. A chord

name may also be followed by a degree number or other sym-

bols that indicate certain characteristics about the chord.

<Examples>

The Chord Book feature of this keyboard makes it possible

for you to look up information about chords quickly and eas-

ily. Simply input the name of the chord and the keyboard

keys you should press, the fingers you should use, and the

notes that make up the chord appear on the display along

with the chord name.

What is a chord?

A chord is made up of a root note, upon which is stacked a

number of other notes. A variety of different chords can be

created by changing the notes stacked onto a root.

<Example: C chord>

Inverted Forms

There are a number of different ways to play the same chord.

A form that is different from the basic form but still produces

the same chord is called an “inverted form.”

<Example: C chord>

All of the following are C chords.

5.

Check to make sure that the chord name on the

display is the one you want. If it isn’t, repeat the

above from step 2.

6.

If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering

on the graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord

on the keyboard.

<Example>

❚

NOTE

•The fingering that appears on the display is one standard fin-

gering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size of

your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to neigh-

boring chords.

•You can also use the [+] and [–] buttons to change the dis-

played chord name.

•The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani-

ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone

used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se-

lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending

on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make

up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the

accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due

to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and

polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should always play

the chords indicated on the display on the melody keyboard

(the range that does not have chord names printed above the

keys).

Looking Up a Chord Using the Chord

Book

1.

Press the CHORD BOOK button to enter the

Chord Book mode.

2.

Press the CLEAR button.

•This step is necessary to clear any previously input

NOTE

•Since the chord fingerings that appear on the display are se-

lected to allow chord play within the accompaniment keyboard,

inverted chord forms (page E-26) are often suggested. Invert-

ed chord forms are useful to help you learn how to play chord

variations that make it possible to move from one chord to an-

other with minimal hand movement. These forms come in handy

when using FINGERED Auto Accompaniment play.

•While a chord name is on the display, you can press keys on

the accompaniment keyboard to find out the fingerings of the

same chord with a different root.

•You can also scroll through chord names using the [+] and [–]

buttons.

•Chord fingerings that appear on the display are formed using

only the keys within the range of the accompaniment keyboard

(leftmost 18 keys). Chords that cannot be formed using the

keys within this range are not displayed.

MIDI

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Inter-

face, 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 com-

patible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key re-

lease, tone change, and other data as messages.

Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI

to use this keyboard 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 go-

ing.

MIDI Connections

MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT termi-

nal of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another ma-

chine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this key-

board to another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI

cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to

the MIDI IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI

messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI ca-

ble to connect the other machine’s MIDI OUT terminal to the

MIDI IN terminal of this keyboard.

To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and play-

back the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must

connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both ma-

chines in order to send and receive data.

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 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 Chan-

nel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and

all other channels are ignored.

With this keyboard, messages received over MIDI Channels

1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 can be used for multi-timbre play of up to

five different instrument parts. The tone and volume settings

for these five channels must be controlled by messages sent

from an external device.

When sending operation of this keyboard to an external de-

vice, Channel 1 should be selected as the MIDI send channel.

General MIDI

General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source

types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies

such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available

MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it

possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nu-

ances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the

manufacturer of the sound source.

Though the sound source of this keyboard is not General

MIDI compatible, you can still connect the keyboard to a com-

puter or other MIDI equipment to playback General MIDI

data that is widely available in stores, over computer net-

works, and from other sources.

❚

NOTE

•General MIDI data made up of a large number of parts may not

play correctly on this keyboard.

•You will have most success playing back General MIDI data

that has few parts and is made up of data on channels 1, 2, 3,

4, and 10.

Messages

There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI

standard, and this section details the particular messages that

can be sent and received by this keyboard.

NOTE ON/OFF

This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON)

or released (NOTE OFF).

A NOTE ON/OFF message include a note number (to indi-

cate note whose key is being pressed or released) and veloc-

ity (keyboard pressure as a value from 1 to 127).

NOTE ON velocity is always used to determine the relative

volume of the note. This keyboard does not receive NOTE

OFF velocity data.

Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the

corresponding NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent by

constant velocity from the MIDI OUT terminal.

❚

NOTE

•The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as

shown in the Note Table on page A-2. Whenever this keyboard

receives a note number that is outside its range for that tone,

the same tone in the nearest available octave is substituted.

625A-E-034A

PROGRAM CHANGE

This is the tone selection message. PROGRAM CHANGE can

contain tone data within the range of 0 to 127.

A PROGRAM CHANGE message (0 to 99) is sent out through

this keyboard’s MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manual-

ly change its tone number. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE

message from an external machine changes the tone setting

of this keyboard (this page).

This keyboard can send tone data within the range of 00 to

99 and receive tone data within the range of 0 to 127.

PITCH BEND

This message carries pitch bend information for smoothly

sliding the pitch upwards or downwards during keyboard

play. This keyboard does not send pitch bend data, but is can

receive such data.

CONTROL CHANGE

This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes

applied during keyboard play.

CONTROL CHANGE data includes a control number (to

identify the effect type) and a control value (to specify the

on/off status and depth of the effect).

The following is a list of data that can be received using

CONTROL CHANGE.

Effect Control Number

VOLUME 7

HOLD1 *64

MODULATION 1

*Pressing the foot pedal causes the sustain effect (HOLD1) to

be sent (control number 64).

Changing MIDI Settings

This keyboard lets you change the settings of two MIDI pa-

rameters: TONE MAP and KEYBOARD CHANNEL.

To change MIDI parameters

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button ei-

ther three or four times to select the parameter

you want.
