the right of the keyboard.
<Example>
BASS/PIANO (No.90)
--BASS +" P,ANO
PERCUSSION (No.99)
• PERCUSSION (tone 99) assigns 35 percussion sound to the keyboard as illustrated
below. The sound assigned to each key are indicated above the keyboard.

•There are no sounds assigned to any keyboard keys from B4 onward when the "99
PERCUSSION" tone is selected.
Digital Sampling
Anumber 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, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to
provide you with sounds that are amazingly dose 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 una;coidable result of multiple
sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same
time. The CTK-520L has 12-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 6-note polyphony.
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simulta-
neously played is reduced.
•Other Useful Functions
To change the key of the keyboard
The transpose feature of this keyboard lets you raise or lower its key in semitone
increments. This means you can easily match to suit someone's voice, and you can
eliminate sharps and flats from music making it easier to play.

•Using auto-accompaniment
This keyboard features 50 accompaniment patterns that let you add full accompani-
ments to your performances automatically. With auto-accompaniment, part of the
keyboard is reserved as an accompaniment keyboard. As you play your chords on
the accompaniment keyboard, the accompaniment patterns adjusts automatically to
follow the progression you play.
You get a choice between two different methods for chord play. FINGERED lets you
play chords as you normally do, while CASIO CHORD makes it possible to play fully
formed chords with one finger.
About the accompaniment keyboard
The lower (left) 1.5 octaves are reserved for use as an accompaniment keyboard
whenever you select CASIO CHORD or FINGERED with the POWER/MODE selec-
tor. The panel above the accompaniment keyboard keys is marked with the names of
the notes they play. The remainder of the keyboard (the part that is not included in
the accompaniment keyboard) is called the me!ody keyboard. Please be sure to
remember these terms, because they will be used throughout the rest of this manual.

Using standard fingerings
The FINGERED mode lets you play a wider variety of chords. In this mode, you can
start play of an accompaniment pattern by pressing three or four of the accompani-
ment keyboard keys.
This keyboard is capable of recognizing 15 different chords. The following shows the
fingerings of these chords with a root of C. Note that you can omit the fifth notes
(which are shown inside parentheses in the illustrations below) to produce 7, m7,
maj7, add9 and mM7 chords.
C Cm Cdim Caug ('1) Csus4
C7 Cm7 Cmaj7 Cm7 "5 C7"s(*1)
C7sus4 Cadd9 Cmadd9 CmM7 Cdim7(*l )
E-25

*1 With this chords, the lowest note in your fingering is always used as the root.
Make sure thatyour fingering correctly identifies the root you want to use.
Important!
• If you play one or two notes only in the left hand, or three notes that do not make
up a recognizable chord formation, no sound will be produced. FINGERED
mode requires a conventional three or four-note chord formation to produce an
auto-accompaniment. Also, note that auto-chords only work in conjunction with
rhythm patterns, and not independently of them.
Notes
•The above examples show only one of the possible fingerings for each chord. Note
that you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination. Each of the
following fingerings for example, produces the same C chord.

The Three Step Lesson System can be used with the following three-step lesson plan
to master keyboard play.
Pressing the ONE KEY PLAY buttons plays the melody for an auto-accompa-
niment tune or the right hand part for two-hand tunes. In both cases, the auto-
accompaniment (the right hand part in the case of two-hand tunes) is played
automatically by the keyboard. In place of the ONE KEY PLAY buttons, you
can also press any key of the keyboard to play the melody or right hand part.
The purpose of this step is to familiarize yourself with the timing required to
play melody notes.
Press the keys that light as they teach you the correct notes to play. You can
play at the pace you want, because the auto-accompaniment or left hand part
waits until you press the correct key.
At this level, the keyboard's keys still light to indicate which notes to play, but
they no longer wait for you to press the correct key. The auto-accompaniment
or left hand part is played at normal speed.
Notes
• You may not be able to see the keyboard keys light under direct sunlight or in
other brightly lit areas.
• You can press the ONE KEY PLAY, STEP 1, STEP 2, and STEP 3 buttons at any
time, except while a demo tune is playing. To return the keyboard to its normal
mode, press the SONG BANK button.
Three Step Lesson System Tempo Setting
You can use the procedure in step 6 of the procedure on page E-22 to set the tempo of
the left-hand part for Song Bank and Three Step Lesson System play (Step 1through
3).
This means you can use a slower tempo at the beginning, and then increase it as you
learn. Press both of the TEMPO buttons (Oand @ ) at the same time to return the
tempo to its initial preset setting.
