Connecting Phones (Figure 1)
Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard’s built-
in speakers, so you can play even late at night without dis-
turbing anyone.
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a com-
mercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on
one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the
standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo
plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo
channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input
selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually
marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that
comes with your audio equipment for full details.
SP-20
Sustain Pedal
• With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to lin-
ger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.
• With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to con-
tinue to sound until the pedal is released.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)
Accessories and Options
Use only the accessories and options specified for this key-
board. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,
electrical shock, and personal injury.
Use a commercially available connecting cord* to connect the
keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.
* Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard
plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a con-
nector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to
the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type
of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo chan-
nels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the
volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make
output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

that are available.
Selecting a Tone
This keyboard comes with 100 built-in tones. Use the follow-
ing procedure to select the tone you want to use.
Layered Tones (Tone Numbers: 80 through 89)
Example: 80 STR PIANO
To select a tone
This tone layers a strings tone with a piano tone so they both
sound when a keyboard key is pressed.

Polyphony
Low
High
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 12-note po-
lyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 6-note
polyphony.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to use the microphone’s ON/OFF switch to turn off
the microphone and to disconnect the microphone from
the keyboard whenever you are not using it.

: Metal shielded
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number
of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

• Microphone and Cord
Connector
: Cannon type (3-prong)
• Keyboard Jack Connector : Standard plug (monaural)
Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard
have been recorded and processed using a technique called
digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, sam-
ples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then com-
bined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close
to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in
volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them
at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoid-
able result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of mal-
function.
IMPORTANT!
• Connection to the MIDI terminal of an external device can
cause static in the microphone signal. Use of a Cannon
type microphone with a metal-shielded body helps to pre-
vent static.
• Be sure to disconnect the microphone from the keyboard
whenever you are not using it.
Howling (Feedback Noise)
Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback
noise).
Using the Microphone Jack
(CTK-491 only)
Connecting a commercially available microphone to the MIC
IN jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s
built-in tunes or with output from a MIDI device. When con-
necting a microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOL-
UME to a relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level
you want after connecting.
• Covering the head of the microphone with your hand
• Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker
Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further
away from the head, and move away from any nearby speak-
er.
Static Noise
Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone
signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you
suspect may be causing the static.
1. When connecting a microphone, we recommend
that you set the MIC VOLUME to a very low lev-
el.

What is a chord?
A chord is made up of a root note, upon which is stacked a
number of other notes. A variety of different chords can be
created by changing the notes stacked onto a root.

Inverted Forms
There are a number of different ways to play the same chord.
A form that is different from the basic form but still produces
the same chord is called an “inverted form.”
Chord Names
Chords are named using upper-case letters from A through
G, which indicate the root note of the chord. If the root note
is a sharp or flat, the chord itself is sharp or flat. A chord
name may also be followed by a degree number or other sym-
bols that indicate certain characteristics about the chord.
<Example: C chord>
All of the following are C chords.

5. Check to make sure that the chord name on the
display is the one you want. If it isn’t, repeat the
above from step 2.
3. If the chord name you plan to input is a non-
major chord, use the chord specification but-
tons to specify the chord type.
• Chord types are indicated by the small letters above
the chord specifications buttons.
• Non-major chords include minor, seventh, sustained,
etc. chords.
• See page E-28 for details on the chord specification
buttons.
• Skip step 3 if you want to input a major chord name.
6. If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering
on the graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord
on the keyboard.
<Example>

<Example: F m7-5>
❚ NOTE
• The fingering that appears on the display is one standard fin-
gering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size of
your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to neigh-
boring chords.
• You can also use the [+] and [–] buttons to change the dis-
played chord name.
• The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani-
ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone
used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se-
lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending
on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make
up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the
accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due
to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and
polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should always play
the chords indicated on the display on the melody keyboard
(the range that does not have chord names printed above the
keys).
4. Press the accompaniment keyboard key that cor-
responds to the root note of the chord.
• A dash appears in place of the chord name if the chord
cannot be recognized by the keyboard.

❚ NOTE
• Since the chord fingerings that appear on the display are se-
lected to allow chord play within the accompaniment keyboard,
inverted chord forms (page E-26) are often suggested. Invert-
ed chord forms are useful to help you learn how to play chord
variations that make it possible to move from one chord to an-
other with minimal hand movement. These forms come in handy
when using FINGERED Auto Accompaniment play.
• While a chord name is on the display, you can press keys on
the accompaniment keyboard to find out the fingerings of the
same chord with a different root.

MIDI
What is MIDI?
General MIDI
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Inter-
face, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital
signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange
musical data between musical instruments and computers
(machines) produced by different manufacturers. MIDI com-
patible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key re-
lease, tone change, and other data as messages.
General MIDI standardizes MIDI data for all sound source
types, regardless of manufacturer. General MIDI specifies
such factors as tone numbering, drum sounds, and available
MIDI channels for all sound sources. This standard makes it
possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nu-
ances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the
manufacturer of the sound source.
Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI
to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations
require a bit of specialized knowledge. This section provides
you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you go-
ing.
Though the sound source of this keyboard is not General
MIDI compatible, you can still connect the keyboard to a com-
puter or other MIDI equipment to playback General MIDI
data that is widely available in stores, over computer net-
works, and from other sources.
❚ NOTE
MIDI Connections
• General MIDI data made up of a large number of parts may not
play correctly on this keyboard.
• You will have most success playing back General MIDI data
that has few parts and is made up of data on channels 1, 2, 3,
4, and 10.
MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT termi-
nal of one machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another ma-
chine over a MIDI cable. To send a message from this key-
board to another machine, for example, you must use a MIDI
cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal of this keyboard to
the MIDI IN terminal of the other machine. To send MIDI
messages back to this keyboard, you need to use a MIDI ca-
ble to connect the other machine’s MIDI OUT terminal to the
MIDI IN terminal of this keyboard.
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and play-
back the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must
connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both ma-
chines in order to send and receive data.
Messages
There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI
standard, and this section details the particular messages that
can be sent and received by this keyboard.
NOTE ON/OFF
This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON)
or released (NOTE OFF).
A NOTE ON/OFF message include a note number (to indi-
cate note whose key is being pressed or released) and veloc-
ity (keyboard pressure as a value from 1 to 127).
NOTE ON velocity is always used to determine the relative
volume of the note. This keyboard does not receive NOTE
OFF velocity data.
MIDI IN MIDI OUT
MIDI IN MIDI OUT
MIDI sequencer
Whenever you press or release a key on this keyboard, the
corresponding NOTE ON or NOTE OFF message is sent by
constant velocity from the MIDI OUT terminal.
MIDI Channels
MIDI allows you to send the data for multiple parts at the
same time, with each part being sent over a separate MIDI
channel. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through
16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you
exchange data (key press etc.).
❚ NOTE
• The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as
shown in the Note Table on page A-2. Whenever this keyboard
receives a note number that is outside its range for that tone,
the same tone in the nearest available octave is substituted.
Both the sending machine and the receiving machine must
be set to the same channel for the receiving unit to correctly
receive and play data. If the receiving machine is set to Chan-
nel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and
all other channels are ignored.
With this keyboard, messages received over MIDI Channels
1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 can be used for multi-timbre play of up to
five different instrument parts. The tone and volume settings
for these five channels must be controlled by messages sent
from an external device.
When sending operation of this keyboard to an external de-
vice, Channel 1 should be selected as the MIDI send channel.

PROGRAM CHANGE
This is the tone selection message. PROGRAM CHANGE can
contain tone data within the range of 0 to 127.
A PROGRAM CHANGE message (0 to 99) is sent out through
this keyboard’s MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manual-
ly change its tone number. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE
message from an external machine changes the tone setting
of this keyboard (this page).
Changing MIDI Settings
This keyboard lets you change the settings of two MIDI pa-
rameters: TONE MAP and KEYBOARD CHANNEL.
To change MIDI parameters
This keyboard can send tone data within the range of 00 to

Care of your keyboard
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 chemicals 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.
Extreme heat 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 temperature.
❚ 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.
