E-4

733A-E-006A

Avoid strong impact and rough handling.

Your keyboard is made of precision components that can malfunc-

tion when subjected to strong impact and rough handling.

Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.

Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place it near

an air conditioner, or in any extremely hot place.

Do not use near a TV or radio.

This instrument can cause video or audio interference with TV and

radio reception. If this happens, move the instrument away from the

TV or radio.

Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar chemi-

cals for cleaning.

Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of

water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution and

squeeze until it is almost dry.

Avoid use in areas subjected to temperature

extremes.

Extremely high or low temperature can cause figures on the LCD

screen to become dim and difficult to read. This condition should

correct itself when the keyboard is brought back to normal tempera-

ture.

Lithium Battery Precautions

The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies

power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer

and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of

the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard 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.

*CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held responsible for

any losses to you or any third party due to loss or corruption of

data caused by malfunction or repair of this keyboard, or by bat-

tery replacement.

❚

NOTE

❚

You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this keyboard. These lines

are a result of the molding process used to shape the plastic of the case.

They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.

Care of your

keyboard

Location

•Never locate the instrument in areas sub-

ject to high humidity or heavy accumula-

tion of dust. Doing so may cause fire or

electrical shock.

•Never locate the instrument in areas sub-

ject to grease splatters or steam, such as in

a kitchen or near a humidifier. Doing so

may cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not place keyboard on lacquered furniture.

•The instrument’s silicone rubber feet may

eventually blacken or scar lacquered sur-

faces. Use felt cloth pads to insulate the feet

or preferably use a CASIO musical instru-

ment stand designed for your keyboard.

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.

•Do not place heavy objects on the instru-

ment. This may cause the instrument to tip

over or break resulting in injury.

Volume

•Very high volume levels can damage hear-

ing. Avoid using the instrument at very high

volume settings for long periods. Consult with

a physician immediately if you experience

impaired hearing or ringing in the ears.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Precautions

•Avoid subjecting the keyboard's LCD to

strong impact, which can crack or break

the LCD's glass creating the danger of per-

sonal injury.

•Should the LCD glass ever crack or break,

do not allow the liquid inside the LCD to

come into contact with your skin, which

can cause inflammation and reddening.

*Should the LCD liquid get into your

mouth, immediately wash out your mouth

with water and then consult a physician.

*Should the LCD liquid get in your eyes or

on your skin, immediately flush with wa-

ter for at least 15 minutes and then consult

a physician.

Do not get onto the instrument or stand.*

•Do not crawl on top of the instrument or its

optional stand. Particular caution is re-

quired in homes having small children. This

may cause the instrument or stand to tip

over and break resulting in injury.

Optional Stand*

•Carefully assemble the stand following the

assembly instructions that come with it. Se-

curely tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners,

and make sure that you mount the instru-

ment correctly onto the stand. Incorrectly

or insufficiently tightening screws, or in-

correctly mounting the instrument onto the

stand can cause the stand to tip over or the

instrument to fall off the stand, possibly

leading to injury.

* The stand is available as an option.

Sustain Pedal

•With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much

like a piano’s damper pedal.

•With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to

sound until the pedal is released.

Sostenuto Pedal

•As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing

the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

•The difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the

timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then de-

press the pedal before you release the keys. Only the notes that are

sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.

Soft Pedal

Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.

This keyboard can be powered by current from a standard house-

hold wall outlet (using the specified AC adaptor) or by batteries. Al-

ways make sure you turn the keyboard off whenever you are not

using it.

Using Batteries

Always make sure you turn off the keyboard before loading or re-

placing batteries.

To load batteries

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Load six D-size batteries into the battery compartment.

•Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) ends are fac-

ing correctly.

Insert the tabs on the battery compartment cover into

the holes provided and close the cover.

The keyboard may not function correctly if you load or replace bat-

teries with power turned on. If this happens, turning the keyboard

off and then back on again should return functions back to normal.

Important Battery Information

■

The following shows the approximate battery life.

Alkaline batteries ............................................... 2 hours

The above value is standard battery life at normal temperature,

with the keyboard volume at medium setting. Temperature ex-

tremes or playing at very loud volume settings can shorten bat-

tery life.

■

Any of the following symptoms indicate low battery power. Re-

place batteries as soon as possible whenever any of the following

occurs.

•Dim power supply indicator

•Instrument does not turn on

•Display that is flickering, dim, or difficult to read

•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

•Flickering or dimming of the dispaly when playing at high vol-

ume

•Continued sound output even after you release a key

•A totally different tone may sound

•Abnormal rhythm pattern and demo tune play

•Loss of power, sound distortion, or low volume when playing

from a connected computer or MIDI device

•Sudden power failure while reading from or writing to a dis-

kette (WK-1800 only)

IMPORTANT!

Improper handling of batteries can cause them to burst and leak,

which creates the danger of personal injury or damage due to con-

tact with battery fluid. Be sure to note the following important precau-

tions.

•Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles are

facing correctly as indicated inside the battery compartment.

•To avoid damage caused by leaking batteries, be sure to remove

batteries from the keyboard whenever you leave it unattended for

long periods (such as when leaving on a trip).

•Never mix batteries of different types.

•Never mix old batteries with new ones.

•Never discard batteries by incinerating them, do not allow their

poles to be shorted (connected to each other), never take batteries

apart, and do not expose batteries to direct heat.

•Replace batteries as soon as possible after any sign they are get-

ting weak.

•Never attempt to recharge batteries.

Using the AC Adaptor

the same time.

Reset? 

Auto Power Off

When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off auto-

matically whenever you leave it on without performing any opera-

tion for about 6 minutes. When this happens, press the POWER but-

ton to turn power back on.

❚

NOTE

❚

Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the

AC adaptor to power the keyboard.

To disable Auto Power Off

Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to dis-

able Auto Power Off.

•When Auto Power Off is disabled, the keyboard does not turn off

automatically no matter how long it is left with no operation being

performed.

Settings and Memory Contents

The following describes what happens to settings and memory con-

tents when power is turned off.

Settings

Tone, rhythm, and other “main keyboard settings” in effect when the

keyboard is turned off manually by pressing POWER or automati-

cally by Auto Power Off are still in effect the next time you turn pow-

er back on.

Main Keyboard Settings

Tone number, rhythm number, touch response on/off, touch

response sensitivity, accompaniment mode, DSP on/off, DSP

selection, assignable jack setting, tempo, Mixer parameters

(tone, volume, pan, effect send, channel on/off, accompani-

ment volume), keyboard channel, General MIDI on/off,

Pitch Bend range, accomp MIDI out on/off, MIDI in chord

judge on/off, registration bank, layer on/off, auto harmo-

nize on/off, split on/off, split point, Song Sequencer set-

tings (song number, metronome, quantize), Pattern Sequenc-

er settings (metronome, quantize), sound range shift on/off,

contrast setting, SMF playback settings (WK-1800 only)

Memory Contents

In addition to the above settings, Registration, Song Sequencer, Pat-

tern Sequencer, and Synthesizer memory contents are also retained

when power is turned off.

Power Requirements

The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies

power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer

and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of

the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard 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 replace-

ment.

To protect against loss of valuable memory data, we strongly suggest

that you use either of the following methods to back it up.

•Perform a MIDI dump of the data to a computer or other external

device for storage. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E-

65 for details.

•Save the data to diskette (WK-1800 only). See “Using the Floppy

Disk Drive” on page E-67 for details.

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can

play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note polyphony, which

includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accom-

paniment 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 key-

board play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-

note polyphony.

Digital Sampling

A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have

been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sam-

pling. 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 un-

avoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunc-

tion.

Using Layer

With layer you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a lay-

ered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever you press a

key. For example, you could layer the FRENCH HORN tone on the

BRASS tone to produce a rich and brassy sound.

To layer two tones

Select the main tone and layered tone.

•Use the Mixer to select the tones, following the procedure

under “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-

30. The main tone is UPPER1, while the layered tone is UP-

PER2.

•If you don’t want to use the Mixer, select a keyboard tone as

you normally would (page E-16). This is the main tone. Next,

proceed to step 2.

Press LAYER to turn on tone layering.

•This causes the LAYER indicator to appear on the display.

•The layered tone name and number appear on the display

for about five seconds. During this time you can use the num-

ber keys to input a tone number to change the layered tone if

you want. After about five seconds, the display changes to

the main tone name and number.

Now try playing something on the keyboard.

•Both tones are played at the same time.

Press LAYER to unlayer the tones and return the key-

board to normal.

•This causes the LAYER indicator to disappear.

❚

NOTE

❚

Layering is produced by sounding Mixer internal mode CH 1 (UPPER1)

and CH 2 (UPPER2) at the same time. 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 “Mixer Function” on page E-28 for

details.

Main tone (UPPER1) + Layered tone (UPPER2)

Using Split

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. For ex-

ample, you could select STRINGS as the main (high range) tone and

PIZZICATO as the split (low range) tone, putting an entire string

ensemble at your fingertips.

To split the keyboard

Select the main tone and split tone.

•Use the Mixer to select the tones, following the procedure

under “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-

30. The main tone is UPPER1, while the split tone is LOW-

ER1.

•If you don’t want to use the Mixer, select a keyboard tone as

you normally would (page E-16). This is the main tone. Next,

proceed to step 2.

Press SPLIT.

•This causes the SPLIT indicator to appear on the display.

•The split tone name and number appear on the display for

about five seconds. During this time you can use the num-

ber keys to input a tone number to change the split tone if

you want. After about five seconds, the display changes to

the main tone name and number.

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 page E-18 for details on

changing the location of the split point.

Press SPLIT again to unsplit the keyboard and return

it to normal.

•This causes the SPLIT indicator to disappear.

NOTE

❚

Split is produced by using Mixer internal mode CH 1 (UPPER1) and CH 3

(LOWER1) at the same time. 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 “Mixer Function” on page E-28 for details.

To change the location of the split point

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.

Using Layer and Split Together

You can use layer and split together to created a layered split key-

board. 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).

To layer-split the keyboard

Select the main tone, layered tone, split tone, and lay-

ered split tone.

•Use the Mixer to select the tones, following the procedure

under “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-

30. The main tone is UPPER1, the layered tone is UPPER2,

the split tone is LOWER1, and the layered split tone is LOW-

ER2.

Turn on both layer and split to layer split the keyboard.

•Press LAYER once to turn on layer.

•Press SPLIT once to turn on split.

•The LAYER and SPLIT indicators should be on the display

to indicate that they are turned on.

•The layered split tone name and number appear on the dis-

play for about five seconds. During this time you can use

the number keys to input a tone number to change the lay-

ered split tone if you want. After about five seconds, the dis-

play changes to the main tone name and number.

Now try playing something on the keyboard.

Press LAYER once and SPLIT once to unlayer split the

keyboard and return it to normal.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Layer-split is produced by using Mixer internal mode CH 1 (UPPER1),

CH 2 (UPPER2), CH 3 (LOWER1), and CH 4 (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 “Mixer

Function” on page E-28 for details.

•You can use the Mixer to turn off individual channels (layer split tones).

This means you could turn off CH 4 (LOWER2), for example, to sound a

single tone in the lower range and two layered tones in the upper range.

See “Turning Channels On and Off” on page E-29 for details.

Using Touch Response

Turning on touch response causes the volume and sound quality of

keyboard output to change in accordance with the amount of pres-

sure applied to the keyboard.

To turn touch response on and off

Press the TOUCH RESPONSE button to toggle touch re-

sponse on and off.

•Turning on touch response causes the TOUCH RESPONSE indica-

tor to appear on the display.

To set the touch response sensitivity

Press TOUCH RESPONSE to turn on touch response.

•The TOUCH RESPONSE indicator appears on the display.

Within five seconds after pressing TOUCH RESPONSE,

use [+] and [–] or number keys [0] to [3] to select the

sensitivity setting you want to use.

•“ExLight” outputs powerful sound even with light key pres-

sure, while “Heavy” requires very heavy key pressure to out-

put powerful sound.

•Pressing [+] and [–] at the same time returns sensitivity to

the “Normal” setting.

•In addition to pressing the TOUCH RESPONSE button, you

can also turn off touch response by selecting “Touch Off” as

the sensitivity setting.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Touch response operations affect the keyboard’s internal sound source

as well as MIDI OUT data.

•Touch response settings do not affect Song Sequencer playback, ac-

companiment, or MIDI note data received from an external source.

•Touch response affects different tones in different ways.

Transposing the Keyboard

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the keyboard in

semitone units. If you want to play accompaniment for a vocalist

whose sings in a specific key, for example, you can use transpose to

change the key of the keyboard without having to learn to play the

song in another key.

To transpose the keyboard

Use the TRANSPOSE buttons (왖 and 왔) to change the trans-

pose setting of the keyboard.

Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones upwards.

❚

NOTES

❚

•The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12 (one octave

downwards) to +12 (one octave upwards).

•The default transpose setting is 00 when keyboard power is turned on.

•The display changes from the transpose screen back to its normal screen

if you do not perform any key operation for about three seconds.

•To return the transpose setting its initial default of 00, display the trans-

pose screen and press the TRANSPOSE buttons (왖 and 왔) at the same

time.

•The transpose setting also affects the sequencer and Auto Accompani-

ment. It does not, however, affect Auto Accompaniment drum parts.

Tuning the Keyboard

The tuning feature lets you fine tune the keyboard to match the tun-

ing of another musical instrument.

To tune the keyboard

Press the TUNE/MIDI button to display the tuning

screen.

•With the WK-1600/1630, this button is named TUNE.

Use [+] and [–] buttons to change the tuning setting

of the keyboard.

Example: To lower the tuning by 20.

❚

NOTES

❚

•The keyboard can be tuned within a range of –50 cents to 50 cents (±50

cents*).

* 100 cents is equivalent to one semitone.

•The default tuning setting is 00 when keyboard power is turned on.

•The display changes from the tuning screen back to its normal screen if

you do not perform any key operation for about five seconds.

•To return the tuning setting to its initial default of 00, display the tuning

screen and press the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.

•The tuning setting also affects the sequencer and Auto Accompaniment.

It does not, however, affect Auto Accompaniment drum parts.

Using DSP Effects

DSP effects make it possible for you to add a variety nuances to your

music quickly and easily. The following is a list of 10 DSP effects that

are available. Try using each one to find out how it changes the sound

produced by the keyboard. Note that only one effect can be applied

at a time.

Using the PITCH BEND Wheel

As its name suggests, the PITCH BEND wheel lets you “bend” the

pitch of a sound. This makes it possible to add a touch of realism to

saxophone and other tones.

To use the PITCH BEND wheel

While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand,

use your left hand to rotate the PITCH BEND wheel up and

down.

•Releasing the PITCH BEND wheel returns the note to its original

pitch.

❚

NOTES

❚

•With saxophone and electrical guitar tones, the most realistic sounding

effects can be produced if you play notes and operate the PITCH BEND

wheel simultaneously.

•See “Pitch Bend Range (Initial Default: 02)” on page E-59 for changing

the bend range of the PITCH BEND wheel.

•Never turn on keyboard power while the PITCH BEND wheel is rotated.

Using the MODULATION Wheel

Modulation applies vibrato, which modulates the pitch of a note. It

works best with notes that are sustained (held) by keeping a key-

board key held down, especially when playing the melody with a

violin or other similar tone.

To use the MODULATION Wheel

While playing melody notes with your right hand, rotate

the MODULATION wheel with your left to apply vibrato

to the notes.

•The amount of vibrato applied depends on how far you rotate the

MODULATION wheel upwards. Setting the wheel to its neutral

position (rotated as far downwards as it can go) turns vibrato off.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Modulation can be used to add greater expression to sustained melody

notes being played using a violin, synthetic reed, or other similar tone.

•Modulation affects different tones in different ways.

within about five seconds.

While a digital effect screen is on the display, use the

[+] and [–] buttons to scroll through the digital ef-

fects, until the one you want is displayed.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Playing a demo tune (page E-8) 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 keyboard

causes a slight break in the sound when the effect changes.

•The DSP effect is applied not only to the notes you play on the key-

board, but also to rhythms and Auto Accompaniment patterns. Note that

effects 3 through 6, and effect 8 can produce a mood that is not suitable

for certain types of music when they are applied to rhythms and Auto

Accompaniment. When this happens, you can turn off application of the

effect to the rhythm and Auto Accompaniment by using the Mixer to set

the effect send volume of the accompaniment channel to zero. For de-

tails on the actual procedure for doing this, see “Changing the Parame-

ters of a Channel” on page E-30.

•Setting the keyboard’s MAIN VOLUME slider to high volume when Ef-

fect 9 (EQ Loudness) is being applied can cause distortion for certain

tones and rhythm patterns. When this happens, lower the MAIN VOL-

UME setting.

Auto Accompaniment

This keyboard automatically plays bass and chord parts in accordance

with the chords you finger. The bass and chord parts are played us-

ing sounds and tones that are automatically selected in accordance

with the rhythm you are using. All of this means that you get full,

realistic accompaniments for the melody notes you play with your

right hand, creating the mood of an one-person ensemble.

About the MODE Button

Use the MODE button to select the accompaniment mode you want

to use. Each press of the MODE button cycles through the available

accompaniment modes as shown in the illustration below.

•Only rhythm sounds are produced when all accompaniment mode

lamps are off.

•The currently selected accompaniment mode is shown by the mode

lamps above the MODE button. Information on using each of these

modes starts from page E-22.

Selecting a Rhythm

This keyboard provides you with 120 exciting built-in rhythms that

you can select using the following procedure.

To select a rhythm

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

Rhythm List and note its rhythm number.

Press the RHYTHM button.

Use the number keys to input the three-digit rhythm

number for the rhythm you want to select.

Example: To select “042 JUNGLE” press 0, 4 then 2.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Always input three digits for rhythm numbers, including any leading ze-

ros if necessary (as in 032). The rhythm number input display clears

after a few seconds if you don’t input three digits.

•You can also change the displayed rhythm number using [+] and [–].

•The 10 rhythm numbers 120 to 129 are provided for storage of rhythm

patterns created by you using the Pattern Sequencer. You can also re-

call these rhythms using the procedure described above. Simply input a

rhythm number from 000 to 119.

•Rhythms 110 through 119 (FOR PIANO II) are made up of chord ac-

companiments 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) or with Free Session.

Playing a Rhythm

Press the START/STOP button to start play of the currently selected

rhythm. You can then play along with the rhythm on the keyboard.

To stop rhythm play, press START/STOP again.

Chord Types

CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords

with minimal fingering.

❚

NOTE

❚

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.

■

FINGERED

FINGERED provides you with a total of 15 different chord types. The

following describes the FINGERED “Accompaniment keyboard” and

“Melody keyboard”, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using

FINGERED.

FINGERED Accompaniment Keyboard and Melody Key-

board

Major chords

Major chord names are marked above

the keys of the accompaniment key-

board. Note that the chord produced

when you press an accompaniment

keyboard does not change octave, re-

gardless of which key you use to play

it.

Minor chords (m)

To play a minor chord, keep the ma-

jor chord key depressed and press any

other accompaniment keyboard key

located to the right of the major chord

key.

Seventh chords (7)

To play a seventh chord, keep the

major chord key depressed and press

any other two accompaniment key-

board keys located to the right of the

major chord key.

Minor seventh chords (m7)

To play a minor seventh chord, keep

the major chord key depressed and

press any other three accompaniment

keyboard keys located to the right of

the major chord key.

ExampleChord Types

C Major (C)

C seventh (C7)

C minor (Cm)

C minor seventh (Cm7)

IMPORTANT!

The accompaniment keyboard can be used for playing chords only. No

sound will be produced if you try playing single melody notes on the ac-

companiment keyboard.

Melody keyboard

Accompaniment

keyboard

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for details on playing

chords with other roots.

*1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root.

*2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e.

playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords

as the standard fingering.

•Except for the exception specified in note*2 above, all of the keys that

make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key

will not play the desired FINGERED chord.

■

FULL RANGE CHORD

This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38

chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 addition-

al variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys

that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any

multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is inter-

preted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate

accompaniment keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end

can be used for both melody and chords.

About Auto Harmonize notes and tones

The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes,” while

the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “har-

monize 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-28) to specify a different tone for the harmo-

nize notes.

The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 2, so change

Channel 2 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.

In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change a num-

ber of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Changing the

Parameters of a Channel” on page E-30 for details on these proce-

dures.

❚

NOTES

❚

•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 harmo-

nize note tone to the same setting.

Using One-touch Preset

One-touch preset automatically makes the settings listed below in

accordance with the rhythm pattern you are using.

•Keyboard tone and volume

•Layer or Auto Harmonize on/off

•Layered tone and volume (when layer is turned on) or harmonize

tone and volume (when harmonize is turned on).

•Tempo

•Accompaniment volume

To use one-touch preset

Select the rhythm you want to use.

Use the MODE button to select the accompaniment

mode you want to use.

Press the ONE TOUCH PRESET button.

•This automatically makes the one-touch preset settings in ac-

cordance with the rhythm you selected.

Start rhythm and Auto Accompaniment, and play

something on the keyboard.

•Accompaniment is played using the one touch preset set-

tings.

Using Free Session

This keyboard comes pre-programmed with a collection of “Free Ses-

sions,” which are Auto Accompaniments that automatically match

chord progression, tone, tempo and other settings to the currently

selected rhythm pattern. Starting a Free Session causes the entire key-

board to become a melody keyboard for play along with the repeat-

ing chord progression of the Free Session.

Pre-programmed settings in accordance with the selected rhythm

pattern are used whenever Free Session is turned on.

•Chord progression

•Keyboard tone and volume

•Layer or Auto Harmonize on/off

•Layered tone and volume (when layer is turned on) or harmonize

tone and volume (when harmonize is turned on).

•Tempo

•Accompaniment volume

To use Free Session

Select the rhythm you want to use.

Press the FREE SESSION button.

•The lamp above the button lights to indicate that Free Ses-

sion is turned on.

Press the START/STOP button.

•This starts the repeating chord progression of the preset Auto

Accompaniment to match the selected rhythm.

•Press START/STOP again if you want to stop the progres-

sion.

To turn off Free Session, press the FREE SESSION but-

ton again.

•The lamp above the FREE SESSION button is not lit when

Free Session is turned off.

❚

NOTES

❚

•The default root note of the first chord is C (See “Free Session Chord

Progression Chart” on page A-2 for details). You can change to a differ-

ent root by pressing the corresponding key within the accompaniment

keyboard instead of START/STOP in the above procedure.

•You can also use the INTRO, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/FILL-IN,

and SYNCHRO/ENDING buttons while Free Session accompaniment

is playing.

•Tone and tempo settings can be changed while a Free Session Auto

Accompaniment is playing. The rhythm pattern can also be changed

while a Free Session Auto Accompaniment is playing, but the chord

progression does not change in this case unless you stop Auto Accom-

paniment and restart it.

•You must stop the Auto Accompaniment to change the root note of the

first chord.

•Changing to a rhythm pattern with a different meter can affect chord

change timing.

channel numbers marked on the keyboard above the CHANNEL but-

tons.

•The CHANNEL button name in the above table corresponds to the text

marked on the keyboard below the CHANNEL buttons.

•The part names shown in the “Part” column of the above table corre-

spond to the parts that can be selected using the Mixer’s internal mode.

In the case of the External Mode (see following section), the part as-

signed to each channel corresponds to each MIDI channel.

Mixer Modes

The Mixer has two main modes, an Internal mode and an External

Mode, each of which is described in detail below.

Internal Mode

This mode lets you control each channel (internal channels) when

using the keyboard internal control (keyboard play, Auto Accompa-

niment, Song Sequencer playback). This is the default Mixer mode

whenever you turn on keyboard power.

External Mode

The External Mode provides control of each channel (external chan-

nels) when the keyboard’s sound source is under control (MIDI in-

put, SMF playback*) of an external device.

123456789

10 11 12 13 14 15 16

The External Mode has three sub-modes: External, External/Solo, and

External/Play.

External ................... This is the basic External Mode, which is used

for most external channel parameters.

External/Solo ........ This mode turns one channel on and all other

channels off. It is used playing MIDI input (or

SMF playback*) that simultaneously uses multi-

ple channels of the keyboard’s sound source.

External/Play ........ This mode is a mirror of the External/Solo Mode.

It turns one channel off and all other channels on.

It comes in handy, for example, when you want

to turn off a specific part of SMF playback* and

play along on the keyboard.

❚

NOTES

❚

•The internal channels controlled by the internal mode are completely

different from the external channels controlled by the external mode.

This means that there are a total of 32 different channels. The Mixer

mode saves internal mode and External Mode parameters separately

from each other.

•The External Mode is for MIDI (or SMF playback*). Operation of the

External/Play Mode is particularly suited to MIDI play. See “MIDI” on

page E-60 for information about how the Mixer is used during MIDI op-

erations.

*SMF Playback (WK-1800 only)

The built-in disk drive of the WK-1800 allows playback of SMF

(standard MIDI files) from diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk

Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on page E-67 for details.

To select the Mixer mode

Press the MIXER SELECT button to toggle between the Mixer mode

sub-modes as shown in the illustration below. The currently selected

mode is indicated on the display.

Turning Channels On and Off

Press the CHANNEL buttons to toggle individual channels on and

off. Indicators on the display show the current on/off status of each

channel.

The channel affected and the operation performed when a CHAN-

NEL button is pressed depends on what Mixer mode you are in, as

described below.

Internal Mode

•Each press of a CHANNEL button toggles the applicable channel

on and off (except CH5).

•The on/off status of each channel determines the on/off status of

the corresponding part for keyboard play, Auto Accompaniment,

and Song Sequencer playback.

•Changing to a different rhythm causes Mixer Settings for CH6

through CH10 to change to the default settings assigned to the new

rhythm. These settings also change to the defaults for the currently

selected rhythm pattern whenever you switch between the Intro,

Normal, Variation, Fill-in, and Ending patterns.

External Mode

On/off settings in this mode affect MIDI input and SMF playback

channels (WK-1800 only).

•In the External Mode, each press of CHANNEL button CH1 through

CH16 toggles the applicable channel on and off.

•In the External/Solo Mode, pressing a CHANNEL button turns on

that channel and turns all the other channels off.

•In the External/Play Mode, pressing a CHANNEL button turns off

that channel and turns all the other channels on.

Additional Channel Mode Parameters

The following describes each of the additional channel mode param-

eters.

Program Change Number

This parameter controls the tone assigned to the channel.

Volume

This is the parameter that controls the volume of the selected chan-

nel.

Pan

This parameter controls the pan pot, which is the center point of the

left and right stereo channels. Setting 064 specifies center, a value

less than 064 moves the point left and a value greater than 064 moves

it right.

Effect Send

This parameter controls the depth of the digital effect (DSP) for each

channel. Enhancer and Loudness, however, are not changed.

Fine Tune

This parameter controls the fine tuning of the selected channel’s pitch

in cent units.

Coarse Tune

This parameter controls the coarse tuning of the selected channel’s

pitch in semitone units.

Expression

This parameter controls the volume of the selected channel. Though

this parameter is identical to the volume parameter, it is used for

desktop music applications.

Synthesizer Mode

The Synthesizer of this keyboard provides all the tools you need for

creating your own original tones. Simply select one of the built-in

tones and change its parameters to create your own original sound.

You can even store your sounds in memory for later recall using the

same procedure as that used to select a preset tone.

Synthesizer Functions

The following describes how to use each of the functions available

with the Synthesizer.

Synthesizer Parameters

The sounds of the preset tones built into this keyboard are controlled

by settings called “parameters.” To create a user tone, you first recall

a preset tone and then change its parameters. Note that drum set

tones (192 through 199) cannot be used as the basis of a user tone.

The figure below shows the parameters that make up the preset tones

and what each parameter does. As you can see, these parameters can

be divided into four groups, each of which is described in detail in

the following pages.

PCM Set

This parameter determines the characteristics of a tone by switching

its digitally sampled waveform. You can select a piano, guitar, syn-

thesizer, or any other of a variety of musical instrument and digitally

sampled waveforms.

(2) Volume Characteristic Parameter

■

Amp Envelope Set

This set gives you a choice of a variety of different volume envelopes

(changes in volume over time): slow attack when a key is pressed,

quick attack when a key is pressed, continued sound while a key is

depressed, etc.

(3) Tone Pitch Parameters

■

Pitch

This parameter controls the overall pitch of the tone.

■

Pitch Envelope Set

This parameter provides a variety of pitch envelopes from which you

can choose.

❚

NOTE

❚

Pitch envelope 00 selects “No change (flat),” 01 through 17 selects “Vibra-

to,” and 18 through 45 selects “Other.”

(4) Volume, Tone Quality, Parameters

■

Attack Rate

This parameter lets you set the speed of the attack (the period from

the point when you press a key to the point that the tone reaches its

maximum volume). Use this parameter to make fine adjustments to

the tone characteristics of the amp envelope you are using.

ing). Use this parameter to make fine adjustments to the tone charac-

teristics of the amp envelope you are using.

■

Level

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone.

■

Touch Sensitivity

This parameter controls changes in the volume of the tone in accor-

dance with pressure applied to the keyboard keys. You can specify

more volume for stronger and less volume for lighter pressure, less

volume for stronger pressure, or the same volume regardless of how

much pressure is applied to the keys.

■

Filter Sensitivity

This parameter uses a digital filter to controls change in the quality

of the tone in accordance with pressure applied to the keyboard keys.

■

Filter Level

This parameter controls how the digital filter is applied.

■

Pan

This parameter controls the stereo center point when using the key-

board’s built in speakers and when otherwise producing stereo out-

put.

1DCO and 2DCO Tones

“DCO” stands “Digitally Controlled Oscillator,” and it represents the

smallest unit of sound output by this keyboard. Some of the built-in

tones are simple tones (1DCO), and some are layered tones (2DCO).

Whenever you select a 2DCO tone as the basis for creating a user

tone, remember that you must change the parameters of both of the

tones (DCO1 and DCO2) that make up the layered 2DCO tone.

Saving User Tones

The group of tone numbers from 200 through 231 (USER01 through

USER32) is called the “user area” because they are reserved for stor-

age of user tones. After you recall a preset tone and change its pa-

rameters to create your own user tone, you can store it in the user

area for later recall. You can recall your tones using the same proce-

dure that you use when selecting a preset tone.

•When the keyboard is shipped from the factory, the user area (tones

200 to 231) contain the same tones as tones 128 through 159.

•You cannot use a drum set tone (192 to 199) as the basis of a user tone.

•Whenever you save a tone and assign it one of the tone numbers in the

user area, any tone data previously assigned to that number is replaced

with the new data.

•The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power

to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard power is turned

off. See “Lithium Battery Precautions” on page E-4 for important infor-

mation about the lithium battery.

•You can use the keyboard’s MIDI capabilities to save your original tones

to a computer or other external storage device. See “Bulk Sending Key-

board Data” on page E-65 for details.

•With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save original

tones to diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on

page E-67 for details.

Creating a User Tone

Use the following procedure to select a preset tone and change its

parameters to create a user tone.

First, select the preset tone you want to use as a basis

for your user tone.

Press the SYNTH button.

•This causes the indicator lamp next to the SYNTH button to

light and displays a screen that shows whether the tone you

selected is a DCO1 or DCO2 tone.

Use [왗 ] and [왘] to display the parameter whose set-

ting you want to change.

•Each press of [왗] or [왘] changes to the next parameter. See

“Parameters and Their Settings” on this page for informa-

tion about each parameter.

Use [+] and [–] to change the setting of the currently

displayed parameter.

•You can also use the number keys to input a value to change

a parameter setting. See “Parameters and Their Settings” be-

low for information on setting range for each parameter.

If the preset tone you selected in step 1 is a 2DCO

tone, press [왔] twice to display the DCO2 parame-

ters.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the DCO2 parameters.

•Press [왖] two more times to return to the DCO1 parameters.

Play something on the keyboard.

•To save the tone you created, perform the procedure under

“Naming a User Tone and Storing It In Memory” (page E-

35), starting from step 2.

•To exit user tone creation and return the tone to its original

parameters, press the SYNTH button twice or the TONE but-

ton once.

Parameters and Their Settings

The following describes the function of each parameter and also shows

its setting range.

■

PCM Set (000 to 288)

This parameter switches the digitally sampled waveform.

■

Amp Envelope Set (000 to 288)

This parameter controls volume characteristics over time.

■

Attack Rate (001 to 127)

■

Release Rate (001 to 127)

This parameter controls the speed of a tone’s release. The greater the

value, the faster the release of the selected amp envelope.

■

Pitch Envelope Set (00 to 45)

This parameter controls the pitch of a tone over time.

■

Pitch (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls the overall pitch of the tone. A greater posi-

tive value raises the pitch from standard, while a negative value low-

ers the pitch. A setting of zero sets the pitch to the standard setting

for the selected tone.

■

Transpose (–12 to 12)

This parameter raises and lowers overall tuning by semitone units. A

setting of –12 is one octave lower, while 12 is 1 octave higher.

■

Level (000 to 127)

This parameter controls the overall volume of the tone. The greater

the value, the greater the volume. Setting a level of zero means that

the tone does not sound at all.

■

Touch Sensitivity (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls changes in the volume of the tone in accor-

dance with the pressure applied to the keyboard keys. A greater pos-

itive value increases the volume of the output as pressure increases,

while a negative value decreases volume with increased keyboard

pressure. A setting of zero specifies no change in output volume in

accordance with keyboard pressure.

■

Pan (–64 to 63)

This parameter controls the stereo center point when using the key-

board's built-in speakers and when otherwise producing stereo out-

put. A larger value moves the center point to the right, while a small-

er value moves it to the left.

■

Filter Sensitivity (000 to 127)

This parameter controls changes in the quality of the tone in accor-

dance with pressure applied to the keyboard keys. A greater value

increases the change in tone quality as pressure increases, while a

smaller value decreases the change in tone quality. A setting of zero

specifies no change.

User Tone Creation Hints

The following hits provide helpful advice on making user tone cre-

ation a bit quicker and easier.

Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to create.

Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are trying

to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset tone that is

similar. If you want to use a layered tone, start out with a 2DCO tone.

Determine the most important parameter.

The PCM Set and Amp Envelope Set parameters are the major fac-

tors that determine the overall personality of a tone. Start out with

these two parameters to get the general sound you want, and then

use the other parameters to add the finishing touches.

Experiment with various different settings.

There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like. Let your

imagination run free and experiment with different combinations.

You may be surprised at what you can achieve.

Naming a User Tone and Storing It In

Memory

The following procedure shows how to assign a name to a user tone

and store the tone in memory. Once a tone is stored, you can call it up

just as you do with a preset tone.

WK-1800/1600(E)-32~38 03.7.31, 5:21 PMPage 35 Adobe PageMaker 6.5J/PPC

Use [+] and [–] and the number keys to display the

first character of the name.

•[+] and [–] input alpha characters, while the number keys

input numerals.

Press [왘] to move to the next character. Repeat step 6

to input the rest of the characters of the name.

Press ENTER to save the user tone.

•Press YES to save the new tone and replace any tone data

already assigned to the tone number you selected. Pressing

NO does not save the tone and returns to the screen in step

2, above.

•To cancel the save operation and exit the Synthesizer, press

SYNTH or TONE. Pressing the SYNTH button again (before

selecting another tone) returns to the Synthesizer with all of

your parameter settings still in place.

Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer, MIDI, and floppy disk (WK-1800 only) op-

erations are all disabled while you are using the Synthesizer.

Letters and Numerals

The table below shows the letters and numerals that you can input

for a tone name.

To name a user tone and store it in memory

Select a preset tone to use as the basis for the user

tone. Next, press the SYNTH button and change the

parameter settings to create your tone.

After making parameter settings to create the user tone,

press the SYNTH button.

•This causes the message “Save?” to appear on the display.

•To abort the save operation without saving anything, press

NO, which causes the message “Delete?” to appear on the

display. Press NO to return to the parameter setting screen

without deleting the tone.

•Pressing YES while the “Delete?” message is on the screen

deletes the tone and exits the Synthesizer.

Press YES in response to the “Save?” message to dis-

play the destination user area tone number.

Use the number keys to change the user area tone

number on the display until the one where you want

to store the tone is shown.

•You can select any tone number from 200 to 231.

Press ENTER.

•This displays the user tone input screen to appear, with the

first character of the default tone name flashing, which indi-

cates that you can input letters.

•If you do not want to assign a name, skip steps 6 and 7.

Using the Song Sequencer

733A-E-041A

The built-in Song Sequencer lets you record up to two separate songs

in memory for later playback.

Songs and Tracks

The Song Sequencer records and plays back much like a standard

tape recorder. You can have up to two separate, independent songs

in Song Sequencer memory at the same time.

Each song is make up of a total of six tracks, each of which can be

recorded separately. Then when you play back the tracks together, it

sounds like an entire group of musicians, each playing a different

part.

Playing back Playing back

As shown in the illustration above, you add tracks one-by-one while

listening to the tracks you recorded previously.

❚

NOTES

❚

•With this keyboard, Track 1 can be used to record keyboard play and

Auto Accompaniment. Tracks 2 through 6 can be used for keyboard

play only, so they are called melody tracks. As shown in the illustration

above, you record Tracks 2 through 6 while listening to what you have

already recorded up to that point.

•Note that each track is independent of the others. This means that even

if you make a mistake while recording, you only need to re-record the

track where the mistake was made.

•Tone settings can be changed during recording, and each tone change

is recorded in the applicable track. This means you can have up to six

different instrument parts in one song.

Recording

There are two methods you can use to record with the Song Sequenc-

er: real-time recording and punch-in recording.

Real-time Recording

With this method, notes are recorded as you play them on the key-

board.

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 mis-

takes you made during real-time recording.

Global Settings and Operations

A global setting or operation is one that affects all the tracks that make

up a song. The following is a list of the global settings and opera-

tions.

•Metronome setting

•Song delete

•Meter setting

•Initial tempo value

•Quantize setting after recording

See “Global Settings and Operations” on page E-45 for full details on

what each setting and operation does, and how to use them.

Song Sequencer Data

The type of data that is stored by the Song Sequencer during a re-

cording operation depends on whether you are using real-time re-

cording or punch-in recording. The same type of data is recorded

regardless of the track, except that only Track 1 records Auto Accom-

paniment.

Real-time Recording – Track 1 Only

The following data is recorded by Track 1 in addition to the data list-

ed described under “Real-time Recording – All Tracks” below.

•Rhythm pattern and rhythm pattern changes during recording

•INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/

FILL-IN button operations

•Chords played on the accompaniment keyboard

Real-time Recording – All Tracks

•Notes played on the keyboard

•Initial tone setting and any changes made during recording

•PITCH BEND Wheel operations

•MODULATION Wheel operations

•Pedal operations (when an optional pedal is connected)

Punch-in Recording – Track 1 Only

The following data is recorded by Track 1 only during punch-in re-

cording.

•Rhythm pattern changes during recording

•Chord specifications

•INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/

Mixer (CH11 to CH16)

Mixer settings can be made at the beginning of the recording only,

but they can be changed after the recording is complete. The Mixer

settings in effect when you enter record standby are the ones that are

recorded.

Song Sequencer Memory Capacity

Song Sequencer memory capacity depends on the keyboard model.

WK-1800 : 8,000 notes

WK-1600/1630 : 4,900 notes

•Available notes can all be used for a single song, or divided be-

tween two songs.

•The measure number (item 11 on page E-10) and beat number (item

10 on page E-10) flashing on the display during recording indi-

cates that memory is almost full (space for about 100 notes or less

remaining).

•Recording stops automatically as soon as memory becomes full.

Auto Accompaniment and rhythm pattern play also stops at this

time if you are using them.

Song Sequencer Memory Precautions

Note the following important points about data stored in Song Se-

quencer Memory.

•Recording to a track that already contains data replaces the previ-

ous recording with the new one.

•The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies

power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer memory data. If

this lithium battery goes dead, memory contents are deleted any

time keyboard power is turned off. The normal life of the original

battery is five years from the time it is loaded at the factory. It is up

to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider about hav-

ing the lithium battery replaced periodically. Note that the cost for

battery replacement will be charged to you.

•The indicator lamp above the SONG button is off when the Song

Sequencer is turned off.

•Pressing the SONG button once turns on the Song Sequencer and

enters the Record/Playback Mode. The indicator lamp above the

SONG button turns on at this time.

•Pressing the SONG button again changes to the Global Mode, which

causes the indicator lamp above the SONG button to flash.

•Pressing the SONG button exits the Global Mode.

•Pressing the ENTER button in the Global Mode returns to the

Record/Playback Mode.

Real-time Recording

Note that the procedure you use for Track 1 is different from that for

Tracks 2 through 6.

PREPARATION

•Determine the tones and rhythms (if any) that you want to use.

•Use the MODE button to select the Auto Accompaniment mode you want

to start recording with. If you do not want to start with Auto Accompani-

ment, select OFF.

•Set the tempo that you want to use during recording.

•Turning off the keyboard while a record operation is in progress

causes any data partially recorded to a track to be deleted.

•Song Sequencer memory contents can be sent to a computer or other

external device as MIDI data for storage. See “Bulk Sending Key-

board Data” on page E-65 for details.

•With the WK-1800, you can also store Song Sequencer memory data

on a floppy diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800

Only)” on page E-67 for details.

Song Sequencer Modes

The song sequencer has two modes: a Record/Playback Mode for

real-time recording, punch-in recording, and song playback, and a

Global Mode. The following illustration shows how each of these

modes is indicated.

After you are finished playing, press START/STOP

again to stop recording.

•The REC indicator clears from the display when recording is

stopped.

•Pressing START/STOP again at this point plays back the song

that you just finished recording. See “Playing Back from Song

Sequencer Memory” on page E-45 for details on song play-

back.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Real-time recording to a track that already contains data replaces the

previous recording with the new one.

•If you make a mistake while recording, you can either record over again

from step 1, or you can use punch-in recording (page E-42) to correct

them.

•If you change the rhythm pattern part way through real-time recording,

the meter value indicated on the display remains unchanged, even if

the new rhythm has a different meter.

Track 1 Real-time Recording Variations

The following describes a number of different variations you can use

when recording to Track 1 using real-time recording. All of these vari-

ations are based upon the procedure described under “To use real-

time recording in Track 1” on this page.

●

To record without rhythm

Skip step 5. Real-time recording without a rhythm starts when you

press a keyboard key.

●

To start recording with synchro start

In place of step 5, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. Auto-accom-

paniment and recording will both start when you play a chord on the

accompaniment keyboard.

●

To record using an intro, ending, or fill-in

During recording, the INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/

FILL-IN, and VARIATION/FILL-IN buttons (page E-24 to 25) can all

be used to perform their normal operation.

●

To synchro start Auto Accompaniment with an intro

pattern

In place of step 5, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button and then

the INTRO button. Auto Accompaniment will start with the intro

pattern when you play a chord on the accompaniment keyboard.

●

To start Auto Accompaniment part way into a record-

ing

In place of step 5, press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button and then

start playing on the melody keyboard to start recording without ac-

companiment. When you reach the point where you want accompa-

niment to start, play a chord on the accompaniment keyboard to start

Auto Accompaniment.

TUNE 1

❚

NOTES

❚

•You can change the tone and rhythm while recording is in progress. Any

changes you make become part of the recorded data.

•The tempo you use for recording does not affect the tempo of the play-

back. This means you can record at a very slow tempo for easy play,

and then speed up the tempo for playback.

•If you are using a rhythm pattern, notes are recorded using the meter

(time) of the rhythm pattern. If you are not using a rhythm pattern, you

must set the meter yourself using the procedure under “Meter (3)” on

page E-46.

•The following procedure shows the most basic operations for real-time

recording to Track 1. For other variations, see “Track 1 Real-time Re-

cording Variations” on this page.

To use real-time recording in Track 1

Press the SONG button once.

•This causes the indicator lamp above the SONG button to

light.

Select the user song area to which you want to record.

•Use [+] and [–] to select User Song Area 0 (SG0) or User Song

Area 1 (SG1).

•Change Mixer settings (CH1) if you want. The Mixer settings

you make for CH1 are copied to Track 1 during recording.

Press the RECORD button to enter record standby.

•The REC indicator and the frame around the CH11 (Track 1)

flashes on the display.

•Track 1 (CH11) is automatically selected as the record track

whenever you enter record standby.

•Channels CH 11 through CH 16 of the level meter show which

tracks already contain recorded data. See “Level Meter Dur-

ing Record Operations” on page E-44 for details on how to

read the level meter.

Make any tone, rhythm, or accompaniment mode set-

ting you want.

Press the START/STOP button to start recording.

•At this time the REC indicator stops flashing.

•The metronome normally sounds during recording. If you

want to turn off the metronome, use the procedure under

“Metronome Setting (1)” on page E-46.

Play the notes you want to record on the keyboard.

•Chords played on the accompaniment keyboard in accor-

dance with the accompaniment method selected with the

MODE button are also recorded in Track 1.

•PITCH BEND Wheel and pedal operations are also record-

ed. See “Real-time Recording–All Tracks” on page E-39 for

details.

the rhythm during punch-in recording, however, may cause the metro-

nome display and rhythm beat to be out of synch with the rhythm that is

playing.

back. This means you can record at a very slow tempo for easy play,

and then speed up the tempo for playback.

Pattern Sequencer

733A-E-050A

The Pattern Sequencer lets you modify the keyboard’s 120 built-in

Auto Accompaniment patterns or create your own original pattern

from scratch.

Pattern Sequencer Basics

Each Auto Accompaniment pattern is actually a group of six differ-

ent elements named: normal, intro, variation, normal fill in, varia-

tion fill in, and ending. Each element is made up of five parts, named:

Rhythm, Bass, Chord 1, Chord 2, and Chord 3. The following table

shows the makeup of each element.

Pattern Sequencer Recording Contents

The Pattern Sequencer lets you record notes for each of the parts that

makes up an element. You can alter any of the elements of a built-in

Auto Accompaniment, or you can create one or more of your own

original elements from scratch.

Content that can be recorded to each part within each

element using real-time recording

•Notes played on the keyboard

•PITCH BEND wheel operation (Bend range fixed at 2 for user pat-

tern creation)

•MODULATION wheel operation

•Pedal operation (when an optional pedal is connected)

Content that can be recorded once for each pattern

•Tempo

•Beat (Only when work area is empty.)

Content that can be recorded to each element

•Number of measures

The number of measures for Intro, Normal, Variation, and Ending

can specified only when recording to a blank element. Fill-in is

always one measure long, and cannot be changed.

•Fill-in (Cannot change inside one measure.)

•Original key

Pattern Sequencer Modes

The Pattern Sequencer has two modes: a Pattern Create Mode for

recording a new pattern, and a Pattern Edit Mode for changing the

settings of a pattern.

After you finish creating or editing a pattern, you store it in memory

and assign it a number for later recall.

The following procedure provides the basics for navigating between

Pattern Sequencer modes.

To navigate between Pattern Sequencer

modes

Before turning on the Pattern Sequencer, select the

rhythm you want to use as a base for your original

rhythm.

Press the PATTERN button.

•This enters the Pattern Create Mode, which is indicated when

the indicator lamp above the PATTERN button is lit. The in-

dicator “Ptn” in the tone/rhythm number area of the dis-

play (item 3 on page E-10) also indicates that the Pattern Cre-

ate Mode.

•Entering the Pattern Create Mode copies the rhythm you se-

lected in Step 1 into the Song Sequencer work area. Opera-

tions you perform with the Pattern Sequencer affect the pat-

tern that is currently in the work area.

•If the rhythm pattern you selected in step 1 is too large to fit

in the work area, the Message “Ptn Mem Full” appears on

the display for about three seconds. After that, the keyboard

enters to the Pattern Create Mode with the work area empty.

To make more room in the work area for the rhythm pattern,

delete user rhythm patterns stored in the user area (pattern

numbers 100 through 109) that you no longer need.

•In the Pattern Create Mode, you can play back the accompa-

niment pattern in the work area and even record along with

the playback. See “Using the Pattern Create Mode” on page

E-50 for full details on using the Pattern Create Mode.

Press the PATTERN button again.

•This enters the Pattern Edit Mode, which is indicated when

the indicator lamp above the PATTERN button is flashing.

The indicator “Edt” in the tone/rhythm number area of the

display (item 3 on page E-10) also indicates the Pattern Edit

Mode.

•The Pattern Edit Mode screen can be scrolled between the

following three menus with the [왖] and [왔] cursor keys:

“Global”, “Element”, and “Part”. In addition to the menus,

there is also an Escape screen for exiting the Pattern Edit

Mode. Each contains parameters for making settings for the

accompaniment pattern in the Pattern Sequencer work area.

See “Using the Pattern Edit Mode” on page E-52 for full de-

tails on using the Pattern Edit Mode.

•Displaying the Pattern Edit Mode’s “Escape” screen and then

pressing the ENTER button returns to the Pattern Create

Mode in step 2.

Press the PATTERN button again.

•The indicator lamp above the PATTERN button continues to

flash, and the message “Save?” appears on the display. See

“Exiting the Pattern Sequencer Mode” on page E-56 for de-

tails on how to save Pattern Sequencer data.

* Work Area

•The work area is an area of memory where rhythm pattern data is

stored temporarily during recording and editing. After you are fin-

ished recording or editing, you can specify whether you want to

save work area contents or delete them without saving.

Saving an Edited Pattern

•The 10 rhythm numbers 120 through 129 make up the user rhythm

area, where you can store your original rhythms. You can recall a

user rhythm with the same operation as that for recalling a built-in

pattern, and you can even use a user rhythm pattern as the base for

creating a new rhythm pattern.

•The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies

power to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard

power is turned off. See “Power Requirements” on page E-15 for

important information about the lithium battery.

•You can use the keyboard’s MIDI capabilities to save your original

accompaniment patterns to a computer or other external storage

device. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E-65 for de-

tails.

•With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save orig-

inal accompaniment patterns to diskette. See “Using the Floppy

Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on page E-67 for details.

•You can store up to 10 accompaniment patterns in the user area,

but the actual number of patterns you will be able to store depends

on their sizes. If the patterns you store are relatively large, memo-

ry become full after fewer than 10 patterns are stored.

Using the Pattern Create Mode

This section describes how to use the Pattern Create Mode to create

an original accompaniment pattern.

IMPORTANT!

The procedures in this section all assume that you have read and are

familiar with the information under “Pattern Sequencer Basics” on

page E-48, and that you already know how to navigate between Pat-

tern Sequencer modes.

❚

NOTE

❚

Be sure to save your work whenever you quit an accompaniment pattern

creation session. See “Exiting the Pattern Sequencer Mode” on page E-56

for details.

Pattern Creation Techniques

You can use either of the two following techniques to create an ac-

companiment pattern.

•Base Pattern Editing

While playing back the part of a built-in pattern or previously cre-

ated user pattern, you can add or delete notes, or completely de-

lete a part and replace it with a new one.

•From Scratch

With this method, you must input all the parts for all the elements

you want to use. With this method, you must use the procedure

under “Work Area Clear” on page E-54 to clear the Pattern Sequenc-

er work area before you start recording.

The record procedure is identical, no matter which of the above meth-

ods you use.

The following procedure tells you how to play back individual ele-

ments of the accompaniment pattern currently stored in the Pattern

Sequencer work area. If you are going to use the base pattern editing

method described above, you can use this procedure to become fa-

miliar with all the parts that make up the pattern before you actually

start editing it.

To play back elements of the accompaniment

pattern in the work area

While the Pattern Sequencer is turned off, press the

PATTERN button once to enter the Pattern Create

Mode.

Select the element you want to play back.

•The Normal element is always selected first when you ini-

tially turn on the Pattern Sequencer.

•Use the following buttons to select the other elements.

NORMAL/FILL-IN ...... Toggles between Normal and Nor-

mal Fill-In elements.

VARIATION/FILL-IN .. Toggles between Variation and Vari-

ation Fill-In elements.

INTRO ............................. Selects Intro element.

SYNCHRO/ENDING ... Selects Ending element.

Press the START/STOP button.

•The selected element plays in a loop, repeating itself.

•The display shows measure and beat numbers during ele-

ment playback.

•You can perform the following operations during element

playback.

•Tempo changes

•Part on and off

•Mixer operations*1

•Tone operations*2

To stop playback, press START/STOP again.

*1 The cursor keys and ENTER button function as Mixer operation

buttons during playback. Auto Accompaniment uses internal chan-

nels CH6 through CH10, which can be used when making part

settings. See “Changing the Parameters of a Channel” on page E-

30 for details on using the Mixer to make settings.

*2 You can change the tone setting by pressing TONE button, and

then using the number keys, [+], and [–] to specify a tone number.

The Pattern Sequencer turns off automatically if you do not per-

form any operation for about five seconds. You can change the

tone settings of each part inside each element.

❚

NOTES

❚

•Pressing the PATTERN button while a pattern is playing stops accom-

paniment playback and enters the Pattern Edit Mode.

•Use the Mixer to adjust the volume balance between channels. First set

the Global Volume parameter to 127. Next, adjust the Expression pa-

rameter volume balance. See “Additional Channel Mode Parameters”

on page E-31 for details.

not be changed. In this case the display does not flash.

•Use [+] and [–] to change the setting.

Tempo

This setting specifies the initial tempo value for the accompaniment

pattern.

•Use [+] and [–] to set the initial tempo value within the range of

030 to 255.

•If the accompaniment pattern is playing when you change this set-

ting, the tempo of the pattern does not change immediately. The

value you specify becomes the current pattern’s default tempo val-

ue, so you need to press both TEMPO buttons at the same time to

have the newly set tempo take effect for an ongoing pattern.

❚

NOTE

❚

Setting the Number of Measures for Each Element

You can specify the number of measures for each element (except for

the fill-in element) of an accompaniment pattern before you start re-

cording it.

IMPORTANT!

You can specify the number of measures for each element only in the

following cases.

•Immediately after clearing Pattern Sequencer work area contents

(page E-54).

•After all the parts of the element whose number of measures you

want to change have been deleted using the Pattern Create Mode.

In all other cases, the number of measures that is pre-programmed

for the base accompaniment pattern cannot be changed.

•Use [+] and [–] to input a value of 01 to 16 for the number of mea-

sures.

Setting the Original Key for Each Element

You can set the basic key for each element when recording an accom-

paniment pattern. The default setting for the original key is C.

When you play the chord that is set as the element’s original key

while playing back an accompaniment pattern, all notes recorded on

the element are played back exactly as they are recored (and are not

affected by chord conversion table).

❚

NOTES

❚

•You can change the Original Key setting for each element in the follow-

Accompaniment Pattern Playback During Part Setting

Pressing the START/STOP button while setting Part menu parame-

ters starts playback of the Auto Accompaniment pattern, so you can

immediately hear how a change in a parameter affects the accompa-

niment. You can perform the following operations while Auto Ac-

companiment is playing.

•You can specify chords using the chord play method (CASIO

CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD) that suits the ac-

companiment mode selected with the MODE button.

•You can change sub-menu settings, and immediately hear how

changes affect the accompaniment pattern.

Chord Conversion Table Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to specify the chord conversion table of the ac-

companiment pattern for each part of an element.

Accompaniment patterns are normally recorded in the key of C. When

you select an accompaniment pattern and specify a key by with the

accompaniment keyboard, the pattern is transposed from the key of

C to the specified key. Simply transposing chords on a one-to-one

basis, however, can result in mechanical, unnatural sounding pat-

terns. To compensate for this, the keyboard has 19 built-in chord con-

version tables that make chord progressions in different keys sound

more natural.

•Select the part of an element whose setting you want to change,

and then use [+] and [–] to specify a value in the range of 00 to 18,

which specifies the chord conversion table number.

•See “Chord Conversion Table” on page A-8 for details on chord

conversion table numbers and contents.

Break Point Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to specify the break point of the accompaniment

pattern for each part of an element.

Pitch Bend Range (Initial Default: 02)

This setting specifies the change in pitch caused when the pitch bender

is at its maximum position. You can set a value in the range of 00 (no

change) to 12 (12 semitones).

Assignable Jack Function (Initial Default: SUS)

This setting specifies the function of the foot pedal as: sustain, soste-

nuto, soft, or rhythm pedal.

Sustain Pedal (SUS)

Applies a sustain effect*1 when the pedal is pressed.

Sostenuto Pedal (SoS)

Applies a sostenuto effect*2 when the pedal is pressed.

Soft Pedal (SFt)

Softens notes played while pedal is depressed.

Rhythm Pedal (rHy)

Pedal performs same operations as the START/STOP button.

*1 Sustain Effect

With piano tones and other sounds that decay, the pedal acts as a

damper pedal, with sounds being sustained longer when the pedal

is depressed. With organ tones and other continuous sounds, notes

played on the keyboard continue to sound until the pedal is re-

leased. In either case, the sustain effect is also applied to any notes

that are played while the pedal is depressed.

*2 Sostenuto Effect

This effect performs the same way as sustain, except that it is ap-

plied only to notes that are sounding already when the pedal is

depressed. It does not affect notes that are played after the pedal

is depressed.

Sound Range Shift (Initial Default: oFF)

This setting shifts the range of a specific tone one octave up or down.

This makes it possible to shift the piccolo tone range so you can play

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 connec-

tors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musi-

cal 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 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 going.

MIDI Connections

MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal of one

machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine over a MIDI

cable. To send a message from this keyboard to another machine, for

example, you must use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT termi-

nal 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

cable 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 playback the

MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must connect the MIDI

IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both machines in order send and re-

ceive 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, pedal op-

eration, etc.).

This keyboard 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 keyboard are sent

out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appro-

priate message.

General MIDI

As we have already seen, MIDI makes is possible to exchange musi-

cal data between devices produced by different manufacturers. This

musical data does not consist of the notes themselves, but rather in-

formation 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 exam-

ple, sending data from Company A's keyboard to Company B's key-

board produces a result entirely different from the original. If a com-

puter, sequencer or other device with auto accompaniment capabili-

ties 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), the parts

that cannot be played will not be heard.

The standard for the tone numbering sequence, the number of parts,

and other general factors that determine the sound source configura-

tion, which was arrived at by mutual consultations by manufactur-

ers, is called General MIDI.

The General MIDI standard 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

manufacturers sound source.

This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be

connected to a computer or other device and used to play back Gen-

eral MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Inter-

net, or obtained from any other source.

LOCAL CONTROL (Default: on)

This setting determines whether or not the keyboard and sound source

of this keyboard are connected internally. When recording to a com-

puter or other external device connected to this keyboard’s MIDI IN/

OUT terminal, it helps if you turn LOCAL CONTROL off.

on: Anything played on the keyboard is sounded by the internal

sound source and simultaneously output as a MIDI message from

the MIDI OUT terminal.

oFF: Anything played on the keyboard is output as a MIDI message

from the MIDI OUT terminal, without being sounded by the in-

ternal sound source. Turn LOCAL CONTROL off whenever you

are using the MIDI THRU function of a computer or other exter-

nal device. Also note that no sound is produced by the keyboard

if LOCAL CONTROL is turned off and no external device is con-

nected.

Making MIDI Settings

MIDI Messages

There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI stan-

dard. This section details the particular messages that can be sent

and received by this keyboard. An asterisk (*) is used to mark mes-

sages that affect the entire keyboard, while messages without an as-

terisk are those that affect only a particular channel.

NOTE ON/OFF

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

leased (NOTE OFF).

A NOTE ON/OFF message includes a note number (to indicate the

note whose key is being pressed or released) and velocity (keyboard

pressure as a value from 1 to 127). NOTE ON velocity is always used

to determine the relative strength of the note. This keyboard does not

receive NOTE OFF velocity data.

Pressing a keyboard key sends the corresponding NOTE ON mes-

sage from the MIDI OUT terminal, while releasing the key sends the

corresponding NOTE OFF message.

*1 The BANK SELECT setting of PROGRAM CHANGE can be used

to access any of this keyboard’s 232 tones when selecting tones on

this keyboard from an external device. The 232 tones are divided

between four banks, as described below.

Bank 0: 128 General MIDI tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 127)

Bank 1: 64 variation tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 63)

Bank 2: 8 drum sets (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 7)

Bank 3: 32 user tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 31)

Immediately prior to sending the PROGRAM CHANGE message,

send two successive CONTROL CHANGE messages containing

the following data.

CONTROL NUMBER=0 CONTROL VALUE=<bank number>

CONTROL NUMBER=32 CONTROL VALUE= 0

❚

NOTE

❚

Data received by the sound source of this keyboard over MIDI Channel 10

is always treated as drum set data, and can be sounded using one of the

eight drum set sounds only. Because of this, PROGRAM CHANGE 0

through 7 always corresponds to drum set tones, so BANK SELECT data

is not necessary when PROGRAM CHANGE is received over channel 10.

*2 “RPN” stands for “Registered Parameter Number”, which is a spe-

cial control change number used when combining multiple con-

trol changes. The parameter being controlled is selected using the

control values of control numbers 100 and 101, and then settings

are made using the control values of DATA ENTRY (control num-

bers 6 and 38).

This keyboard supports pitch bend sense, coarse tune, and fine

tune RPNs sent from other MIDI machines.

❚

NOTE

❚

Sustain (CONTROL NUMBER 64), sostenuto (CONTROL NUMBER 66),

and soft (CONTROL NUMBER 67) effects applied using the foot pedal

can also be sent and received.

ALL SOUND OFF

This message forces all sound being produced over the current chan-

nel to stop.

ALL NOTES OFF

This message causes all notes being produced over the current chan-

nel due to NOTE ON messages to stop. This message is valid only for

MIDI data notes.

RESET ALL CONTROLLERS

This messages initializes pitch bend and all other control changes.

SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE

This message is used to control system exclusives, which are fine ad-

justments that are unique to a particular MIDI device. Originally, sys-

tem exclusives were unique to a particular model, but now there are

also universal system exclusives that are applicable to machines that

are different models and even produced by different manufacturers.

The following are the system exclusive messages supported by this

keyboard.

GM SYSTEM ON ([F0] [7E] [7F] [09] [01] [F7])

GM SYSTEM ON is used by an external machine to turn on this key-

board’s GM system. “GM” stands for “General MIDI”.

•GM SYSTEM ON takes more time to process than other messages,

so it can take more than 100 msec until the next message is pro-

cessed.

GM SYSTEM OFF ([F0] [7E] [7F] [09] [02] [F7])

GM SYSTEM OFF is used by an external device to turn off this key-

board’s GM system.

EFFECT CHANGE ([F0] [44] [0B] [09] [XX] [F7])

EFFECT CHANGE switches between the keyboard’s internal digital

effects. The “XX” parameter in the syntax shown above stands for a

hexadecimal value that represents an effect number sent from an ex-

ternal machine. A list of the hexadecimal values that can be specified

and their meanings is shown below.

❚

NOTE

❚

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

the “Note Table” on page A-1. 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.

PROGRAM CHANGE

This is the tone select message. PROGRAM CHANGE can contain

tone data within the range of 0 to 127.

A PROGRAM CHANGE message is sent out through the keyboard’s

MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manually change its tone num-

ber. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE message from an external

device changes the tone setting of this keyboard.

PITCH BEND

This message carries pitch bend information for sliding pitch upwards

or downwards during keyboard play.

Performing a pitch bend operation on this keyboard simultaneously

changes the pitch of the built-in sound source and sends a PITCH

BEND message out through the MIDI OUT terminal.

CONTROL CHANGE

This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes. CON-

TROL CHANGE data includes a control number (to identify the ef-

fect 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 send or received using CON-

TROL CHANGE.

MIDI Functions and Mixer Functions

As explained under “Mixer Modes” on page E-28, this keyboard has

a total of 32 channels: 16 internal channels and 16 external channels.

Of these, you can use the external channels to play notes on the key-

board in accordance with received MIDI data and select tones. Inter-

nal channel settings have no affect on MIDI receive data. (Excluding

External/Play)

❚

NOTE

❚

The above explanation applies to the External/Solo and Internal Modes

only. It does not apply to the External/Play Mode.

The Mixer can be used in combination with MIDI functions to per-

form a variety of operations. The following examples show how to

use each Mixer mode for controlling MIDI send and receive opera-

tions.

❚

NOTE

❚

The following examples assume that you are already familiar with Mixer

operations, especially how to change and use the Mixer modes. If you

aren’t, see “Mixer Function” on page E-28 for details.

In the External Mode, Mixer functions affect the external channels,

so they also have a direct affect on the corresponding MIDI input

channels. Because of this, the External Mode is best for the following

types of applications.

•To control MIDI input channel on/off settings. The CH1 through

CH16 CHANNEL buttons correspond to MIDI channels 1 through

16, so channels can be toggled on and off by pressing the corre-

sponding button.

•You can use the Mixer to change the tone and volume for each chan-

nel, and to make a variety of other settings. See “Changing the Pa-

rameters of a Channel” on page E-30.

❚

NOTES

❚

•All settings except for Channel on/off are changed at the next MIDI

message receive after the setting is made.

•Though you can play on the keyboard without affecting MIDI input as

with the Internal Mode, you cannot change keyboard settings. Except

for when a channel other than the current channel is selected, you can

change the main tone setting using the standard tone selection proce-

dure shown under “Selecting a Tone” on page E-16.

External Mode

In the Internal Mode, Mixer settings (channel on/off, volume, and

other settings) are affected by internal channel settings only. MIDI

input can be controlled using the external channels only, so the Mix-

er can be used without affecting MIDI input. Because of this, the In-

ternal Mode is best for the following type of application.

•When you want to use the multi-timbre capabilities of the key-

board’s sound source to play along on the keyboard with playback

of external MIDI data, and make separate settings for the keyboard

notes. You can use the Internal Mode to change the tone, layer, split

and other settings for keyboard play, without affecting MIDI in-

put.

This mode is the opposite of the External/Solo Mode in that pressing

a CHANNEL button turns off only the channel assigned to that but-

ton and turns all other channels on. This capability comes in handy

when you want to cut out a part of the MIDI receive data and play

that part on the keyboard. This is different from the play along capa-

bility of the Internal Mode, where you play along as all the parts of

the MIDI receive data play.

For example, let’s say the keyboard is receiving a tune that uses MIDI

Channels 1 through 10, and you want to play the horn section part on

Channel 5 on the keyboard. Simply enter the External/Play Mode

and press the CH5 CHANNEL button. This turns off CH5 and copies

its Mixer settings (tone, control changes, and other data) to internal

channel CH1, which is the channel that controls the keyboard tone

(main tone). Now you can use the keyboard to play the horn section

part on the keyboard, using the appropriate MIDI data settings.

Bulk Sending Keyboard Data

This keyboard stores a variety of internal data, including data re-

corded with the sequencers and synthesizer. This data can be sent

and received in bulk as MIDI exclusive data through the MIDI termi-

nals. This capability makes it possible for you use a computer or oth-

er MIDI machine as an external storage device for your data.

Before performing the following procedures, you must first connect

this keyboard’s MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals to an external

machine using MIDI cables.

❚

IMPORTANT!

•You can write protect a diskette so data on it cannot be deleted and

no new data can be stored on the diskette. Also, a write protected

diskette cannot be formatted. You can read data from a diskette

regardless of whether or not it is write protected.

Floppy Disk Drive Features

The WK-1800 comes with a built-in disk drive, which provides you

with the capabilities described below.

•You can save sequencer and synthesizer data on a floppy diskette

for long-term storage. When you need the data again, simply in-

sert the diskette into the disk drive and load it.

•You can play back SMF (standard MIDI file) data created on a per-

sonal computer and saved to diskette.

•You can convert rhythm data saved to diskette from another make

of electronic musical instrument (Roland, Technics) and save it as

user rhythm data.

Floppy Diskette Precautions

IMPORTANT!

•Avoid the following locations when storing and using diskettes.

Any of the conditions noted below can cause data stored on the

diskette to become corrupted.

•Near TVs, on top of audio equipment, or in any area exposed to

magnetism. Take special care to keep diskettes away from any

source of magnetism.

•Areas exposed to direct sunlight, or subject to high humidity or

temperature extremes.

•Failure to observe any of the following precautions can cause data

stored on the diskette to become corrupted.

•Never try to take a diskette apart.

•Never open the shutter of the diskette or touch the film inside

with your fingers.

•Never bend a diskette or otherwise subject it to rough handling.

•Affix labels in the spaces provided only, and do not affix labels

on top of previous ones.

•Do not eject the diskette from the drive while the access lamp is lit

or flashing or turn off keyboard power with a diskette in the drive.

Doing either can cause data on the diskette to become corrupted

and can even cause malfunction of the disk drive.

•Never insert any foreign objects into the disk drive. Doing so can

cause it to malfunction.

•The disk drive uses a magnetic head. A dirty head cannot read data

from a diskette properly and can corrupt existing data on the dis-

kette. To avoid this, be sure to use a commercially available head

cleaning diskette to periodically clean the head.

•Do not use a computer, another electronic musical instrument, or

any other device to change a file name or file contents created with

this keyboard. Doing so can make the data unusable by this key-

board and even cause malfunction of the keyboard.

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable

for any loss to you or any third party due to corruption or acci-

dental erasure of data on a diskette.

Inserting and Ejecting a Diskette

The following describes how to insert a diskette into the disk drive

and how to eject it.

To insert a diskette into the floppy disk drive

With the label area of the diskette facing up, insert

the diskette shutter first into the disk drive, as shown

in the illustration.

Slide the diskette into the drive as far as it will go,

until it clicks into place.

To eject a diskette from the floppy disk drive

IMPORTANT!

Before ejecting a diskette, always check to make sure that the ac-

cess lamp is not lit or flashing. A lit or flashing access lamp means

that the keyboard is performing a data read or write operation. Eject-

ing a diskette while it is being accessed can cause its data to become

corrupted.

Press the Eject button.

•This causes the diskette to be partially ejected from the disk

drive.

Remove the diskette from the drive by hand.

Insert the diskette that contains the files into the keyboard’s disk drive.

PREPARATION

•The diskette that comes with the keyboard contains files you can use

for this procedure.

Press the DISK button twice.

•This causes the “Option” disk operation screen to appear on

the display. The indicator lamp above the DISK button flashes

at this time.

Use the [왗] and [왘] cursor keys to select the play-

back type.

•Single … Plays the currently selected file only.

While “Chain” is on the display, press the ENTER but-

ton to start playback.

•The name of the file that is playing is shown on the display.

Press the START/STOP button to start playback.

To stop SMF play, press START/STOP again.

•If you do not press START/STOP, SMF play plays one file

after the other in an endless loop.

❚

NOTE

❚

After you stop SMF play part way through by pressing the START/STOP

button, you can exit the disk operation screen by pressing the DISK button

twice.

Operations During Playback

You can change the following settings while a file is playing from

diskette.

•Mixer settings (See “Mixer Function” on page E-28.)

•Tempo settings

❚

NOTES

❚

•Even after you make Mixer and tempo settings during SMF playback,

they may change to other settings if the data in the file contains such

settings.

•File data is played over External Channels.

Playing Back an SMF

SMF (standard MIDI file) is a data format that makes it possible to

port MIDI data between sequencers and synthesizers of different type

and brand. There are actually three different SMF formats, named 0,

1, and 2. This keyboard supports SMF Format 0, which is the most

common. Most synthesizers, sequencers, and commercially available

pre-recorded software and MIDI files use SMF Format 0.

The built in disk drive of the WK-1800 lets you play back files created

with a personal computer or other device and saved to diskette.

To play a specific file from diskette

Insert the diskette that contains the file into the key-

board’s disk drive.

•The diskette labeled “WK1800 ACCESSORY DISK” that

comes with the keyboard contains files you can use for this

procedure.

Press the DISK button.

•This causes the indicator lamp above the DISK button to light,

which indicates the SMF Play Mode.

•At this time the name of one of the files contained on the

diskette appears on the display.

Use [+] and [–] to select the file you want to play.

Press the START/STOP button to start play of the file

whose name is flashing on the display.

To stop file play, press START/STOP again.

•File play also stops automatically when the end of the file is

reached.

❚

NOTE

❚

After you stop file play part way through by pressing the START/STOP

button, you can exit the file play mode by pressing the DISK button twice.

Saving and Recalling Memory Data

The built-in disk drive lets you save sequencer, synthesizer, and oth-

er data from the keyboard’s memory to diskette for later recall when

you need it.

Savable Data

The following is a list of keyboard data that can be saved to diskette.

(1) User rhythms created using the Pattern Sequencer

(2) User song data created using the Song Sequencer

(3) User tones created using the Synthesizer

(4) Setups saved in registration memory

•Saving tone, rhythm, or song data only causes each tone, rhythm,

or song to be saved as a separate file.

•Saving registration memory data only causes all 20 setups (5 set-

ups x 4 banks) in registration memory to be saved as a single file.

•Using the save all operation causes all the data currently in key-

board memory to be saved as a single file.

❚

NOTES

❚

•You can save individual tones, rhythms and songs in separate files only.

You cannot save all tones, or all rhythms, or both songs in a single file.

•All registration memory data can be batch saved in a single file only.

You cannot save individual banks or setups.

File Name Extensions

A three-letter extension is automatically added to file names to iden-

tify the type of data the file contains. The keyboard does not display

extensions, but they will appear if you view the file names on a com-

puter.

To save keyboard data to diskette

Check the data you want to save.

•Make sure that everything is set up and configured the way

you want to save it.

•If you want to save a user tone, rhythm, or song, note its

number.

Insert the diskette to which you want to save the data

into the keyboard’s disk drive. At this time close the

diskette’s write protect tab to enable writing.

Press the DISK button twice.

Press the [왔] cursor key twice to display the “Disk

Save” screen.

Use the [왗] and [왘] cursor keys to display the screen

for the type of data you want to save, and then press
