Getting Ready to Play

Using Batteries

Preparing the Music Stand

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available

D-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any

other nickel based batteries.

Music stand

1. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the

Digital Keyboard.

Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this

Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is

recommended.

• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard.

Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page E-3 for

information about options.

2. Load six D-size batteries into the battery

compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the

batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use the AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital

Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-3 for

information about options.

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard causes most current

settings to be cleared. The Digital Keyboard will revert

to initial settings the next time you turn it on.

• This is true for all settings except for sample sound

protection. Once you turn it on it remains on until you

turn it off again.

• Do not listen to very high volume output over

headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk

of hearing damage.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor

plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged

in when removing the headphones.

Changing Touch Response Sensitivity

Changing Keyboard Response to

Touch Pressure

(Touch Response)

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of

played notes change in accordance with playing speed.

Select the setting that best matches your playing style.

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with

keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the

same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

1. Press

and then use the

(10-key) [4] (

)

and [6] (

) keys to display “Touch” (page

E-6).

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

T o u c h

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys

are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied

to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however,

the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at

which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are

pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly.

Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical

instrument lets you control note volume without striving to

apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

2. Use

(10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select one of

the three Touch Response sensitivity settings.

Touch Response is turned off. Sound

To master a song, it is best to break it up into shorter parts

(phrases), master the phrases, and then put everything

together. Your Digital Keyboard comes with a Step Up Lesson

feature that helps you to do just that.

Step Up Lesson Flow

Step Up Lesson takes you through practice of the right hand

part, left hand part, and both hand parts for each phrase of a

song. Master all of the phrases and you master the song.

Phrases

Phrase 1

• Right Hand Lesson 1, 2, 3

• Left Hand Lesson 1, 2, 3

• Both Hand Lesson 1, 2, 3

The built-in songs are pre-divided into phrases to help you

master keyboard play.

Song start

Song end

Final

Phrase

Repeat the above to practice phrase

2, 3, 4, and so on, until you reach the

final phrase of the song.

Phrase 1

Phrase 2

Phrase 3

Your Digital Keyboard’s SD memory card

slot makes it possible for you to store

record memory and other data on a

commercially available SD memory card.

SD Memory Card and Card Slot

Precautions

● Supported SD Memory Cards

Your Digital Keyboard supports the use of memory cards up

to 2 GB. Use of any SD memory card with greater capacity is

not supported. See the instructions that come with the SD

memory card for information about its capacity.

• When using an SD memory card, make sure you

observe all of the precautions in the instructions that

come with it.

• SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that you

can use to protect against accidental deletion of data.

• Avoid using an SD memory card under the following

conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on

the memory card.

• Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity,

and corrosive gas

• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and

digital noise

• Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when

loading it or removing it from the Digital Keyboard.

• While data is being stored to or recalled from an SD

memory card, never perform any other Digital

Keyboard operation or remove the SD memory card.

Doing so can corrupt the data on the card and damage

the card slot.

• Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into

the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Electrostatic charge discharging from your fingers or

the SD memory card to the card slot can cause

malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens,

turn the Digital Keyboard off and then back on again.

• An SD memory card can become quite warm after very

long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal

and does not indicate malfunction.

Storing and Loading Digital

Keyboard Memory Data

• Since the accompaniment data is for other models, you

may experience some abnormalities when playing it on this

model.

You can transfer sampled sounds, recorded songs, and other

data in Digital Keyboard memory to a computer for storage.

You also can load standard MIDI file (SMF) data, and Auto

Accompaniment data you download from the CASIO website

to the Digital Keyboard, which greatly expands the Song Bank

songs and Auto Accompaniment patterns available to you.

A special Data Manager application is required in order to

transfer data to and from the Digital Keyboard.

■ Maintaining Data in Memory

After you save data in memory, it will remain there as long as

power is supplied to the keyboard. However, if you disconnect

the AC adaptor when there are no batteries loaded, saved

data will be deleted.

Tips for Maintaining Data

• Use both batteries and the AC adaptor together.

• Make sure that batteries with sufficient power are loaded

whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor.

• Connect the AC adaptor to the keyboard and plug it into a

power outlet before replacing batteries.

Data Types Supported for Data Transfer

The same types of data that you can store to or recall from an

SD memory card (page E-59) can be transferred to and from

the Digital Keyboard. Note, that recorded song data can be

transferred to a computer in the Digital Keyboard’s native

format only. You cannot save recorded song data to a

computer as a standard MIDI file (SMF format). With the

WK-500 (only), you can save and recall scale memory data.

Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor or

replacing batteries, first press

to turn off power.
