Audio Equipment (Figure  
)
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a  
commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug  
on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that  
the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a  
stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of  
stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the  
input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually  
marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from  
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that  
comes with your audio equipment for full details.  
Memory Contents  
Even when the keyboard is turned off, user song data saved  
as Song Bank tunes are retained as long as power is being  
supplied to the keyboard.  
Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded  
or when batteries are dead cuts off the power supply. This  
causes all keyboard settings to be initialized to the initial  
factory defaults, and clears all data stored in memory.

Power Requirements  
Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure  
that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not  
lost.  
Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through  
the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries.  
Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh  
batteries are loaded in the keyboard.  
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the  
keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.  
NOTE  
Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo  
standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard,  
and a connector that provides dual channel (left and  
right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting.  
The wrong type of connector at either end can cause  
one of the stereo channels to be lost.  
Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before replacing  
batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.  
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the  
volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make  
output volume adjustments using the amplifiers controls.

You can also connect the keyboard to a computer. See  
Connecting to a Computeron page E-35 for details.  
Sustain/Assignable Jack  
You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to  
the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK to enable the capabilities  
described below.  
For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see  
SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)on page  
E-38.  
SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK  
SP-20  
Sustain Pedal  
With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to  
linger, much like a pianos 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.  
This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal  
is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys  
and then depress 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.

Selecting a Tone  
This keyboard comes with 264 built-in tones. Use the  
following procedure to select the tone you want.  
To select a tone  
1 Find the tone you want to use in the TONE List and  
note its tone number.  
Polyphony  
Not all of the available tones are shown on the tone  
list printed on the keyboard console. For a complete  
list, see the Tone Liston page A-1.  
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-accompaniment patterns that are played  
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-  
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the  
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is  
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-note  
polyphony.  
2 Press the TONE button.  
When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the  
number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

shown on the display.  
3-Step Lesson  
The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct  
steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the  
keyboard.  
Note Length  
Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be  
played. The staff notation and fingerings also remain on the  
display for the length of the note.  
Step 1 – Master the timing.  
In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the  
correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing  
right without worrying about playing the right note.  
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you press a key  
before proceeding to the next phrase.  
Next Note  
The keyboard key for the next note to be played flashes, while  
a number appears on the display near the finger you should  
use to play the next note.  
Series of Same Pitch Notes  
Step 2 – Master the notes.  
The keyboard key light turns off momentarily between the  
notes and lights again for each successive note. The staff  
notation and fingerings also turn off and back on again.  
In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you  
should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light  
system to learn which keyboard keys to press.  
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until your play the  
correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.  
Step 3 – Play at normal speed.  
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn  
using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you  
which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds  
at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the  
correct notes.

Voice Fingering Guide  
Using the Metronome  
Voice fingering guide uses a simulated human voice to call  
out fingering numbers during Step 1 and Step 2 one-hand  
part practice. If you need to press a key with your thumb, for  
example, voice fingering guide says, One!In the case of a  
chord to be played with your thumb, middle and little finger,  
voice fingering guide says, One, three, five!”  
The metronome feature of this keyboard produces a bell  
sound for the first beat of each measure, followed by click  
sounds for each successive beat of the measure. It is the perfect  
tool for practicing tunes without accompaniment (rhythm).  
To start the metronome  
Voice Fingering Guide calls out fingerings only when you do  
not press the proper key when you should.

NAVIGATE CHANNEL (Default: 4)  
When messages are received from a computer for play on  
this keyboard, the navigate channel is the channel whose note  
data appears on the display. You can select one channel from  
01 to 16 as the navigate channel. Since this setting lets you  
use the data on any channel of commercially available SMF  
data to light on the on-screen keyboard guide, you can  
analyze how different parts of an arrangement are played.  
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.  
1 Press the FUNCTION (LK-215: TOUCH RESPONSE/

SD CARD SLOT  
START/STOP  
Your keyboard is equipped with a card slot  
that supports use of memory cards  
(commercially available SD memory card  
Avoid storing and using memory cards in the following  
types of locations. Such conditions can cause corruption  
of data stored on the card.  
or optional CASIO song data card*). This makes it possible  
for the keyboard to directly read commercially available SMF  
data, which has been saved to a memory card from your  
computer, for listening pleasure and lessons. Memory card  
data can be used the same way as built-in tunes.  
Areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or  
corrosive agents  
Areas subject to strong electrostatic charge or  
electrical noise  
Whenever handling a memory card, make sure that you  
never touch its contacts with your fingers.  
If the data access lamp is lit and the message Pls Wait”  
is on the display, it means that data on the memory card  
is being accessed by a save, read, or delete operation.  
Never remove the memory card from the card slot or  
turn off the keyboard while the card is being accessed.  
Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card or  
even damage the card slot.  
Never try to insert anything that is not an SD memory  
card or optional CASIO song data card* into the  
Keyboards memory card slot. Doing so can cause  
malfunction of the keyboard.  
G Supported Memory Cards:  
SD memory cards, optional CASIO song data cards*  
G Supported SD Cards:  
1 GB or less (Cards with capacity greater than 1 GB are  
not supported.)  
G Maximum Number of Importable Songs: Up to 1,000  
The actual number of songs that can be imported  
depends on the size of each file. The actual number will  
be less than 1,000 when individual song files are large.  
G Supported Data:  
Inserting a memory card that is charged with static  
electricity into the card slot can cause malfunction of  
the keyboard. If this happens, turn the keyboard off and  
then back on again.  
A memory card that has been in the card slot for a long  
time may feel hot when you remove it. This is normal  
and does not indicate malfunction.  
SMF Format 0, CASIO Original Format CM2  
IMPORTANT!  
Use only an SD memory card or an optional CASIO song  
data card* with this keyboard. Proper operation is not  
guaranteed when any other type of card is used.  
Note that a memory card has a limited service life. After  
long use, you may not be able to store data to, read  
data from, and/or delete data from a card. When this  
happens, you will need to purchase a new memory card.

Precautions  
IMPORTANT!  
* May not be available in some geographic areas.  
Be sure to carefully read all documentation that comes  
with the memory card for important information about  
how to handle it.  
SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which  
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of  
data. After saving important data to an SD memory card,  
be sure to use the write protect switch to protect the  
data against accidental changes or deletion.

IMPORTANT!  
Make sure you turn off the keyboard before inserting or  
removing a memory card.  
Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it.  
Never try to force a memory card into the card slot when  
you feel resistance.  
Never remove the memory card from the card slot or  
turn off the keyboard while card data is being accessed  
by a read or format operation. Doing so can corrupt the  
data on the memory card or even damage the card slot.  
Before you can use an SD memory card with this  
keyboard, you need to perform the procedure below to  
format it. After formatting the card, transfer SMF data  
from your computer to the card.  
Formatting an SD memory card with this keyboard  
automatically creates a folder named MUSICDATon  
the card. When transferring SMF data from your  
computer to the card for use by the keyboard, be sure  
to store it in the MUSICDATfolder.  
Note that formatting a card that already contains data  
causes all of that data to be deleted. Data deleted by  
the format operation cannot be recovered. Before  
performing the procedure below, check to make sure  
that the media does not contain any data you might need.  
To insert a memory card into the card slot  
1 With the front side of the memory card facing  
upwards, carefully slide it into the card slot. Slide  
the card all the way in until you hear it click  
securely into place.
