*
Bank"
feature,
which
lets
you
choose
from
an
amaz-
ing total of 210 different sound combinations. To create
these layered sounds, the Tone Bank function actually inte-
grates the characteristics of the 20 preset sounds which
are produced by the new PCM sound source to create
entirely new and distinct sounds which can be selected
through the following procedure.
* To select Tone Bank sounds on the lower keyboard
(D Select any of the 20 preset tone. When selecting Tone
Bank sounds, the tone initially selected is used as a
base, or "Primary" sound.

polyphony.
(2) Press the Tone Bank button.
This activates the Tone Bank function, allowing you to
choose a Secondary sound to integrate with the
Primary sound you just selected.
* After the Tone Bank button is pressed, the keyboard changes to 5-note
polyphony.

ed
with
those
of
the
"Primary"
sound
already
selected.
To select a different secondary sound
The
secondary
sound
can
be
changed
at
any
time,
as
long
as
the
Tone
Bank
function
is
selected.
Simply
select
a
different
preset
tone—the
primary
sound
re-
mains
the same.
To select a different primary sound
The
primary
sound
can
be
changed
by
first
turning
the
Tone
Bank
function
OFF
(press
Tone
Bank
button
so
that indicator
goes out), selecting
any other preset
tone,
and
finally
turning

5. Tone Bank Sounds |
< Example of Tone Bank Operation
@) Select the preset ORGAN tone by JAZZ
pressing the corresponding tone selec-
tor. (This is the “Primary” sound.)
Initially, the ORGAN tone can’ be
played with 10-note polyphony.
@ Press the Tone Bank button.
The ORGAN tone can now be played
with 5-note polyphony.
* Indicator lights
Tone bank button
NOTE:
When power is turned ON, the PIANO tone is auto-
matically selected in Tone Bank memory. Because of this,
procedure (2) above causes the ORGAN tone to be inte-
grated with the PIANO tone.
@ Select the preset CHORUS tone by CHORUS
pressing the corresponding tone selec- E
tor. (This is the "Secondary" sound.) MERC
Now, the "ORGAN + CHORUS” inte-
grated Tone Bank sound can be played
with 5-note polyphony.
®
®
Next, try changing the Secondary
sound by selecting the preset FLUTE
tone. The “ORGAN + FLUTE” integrat-
ed Tone Bank sound can be played
with 5-note polyphony.
Next, try changing the Primary sound
by first pressing the Tone Bank button
once again to turn the Tone Bank func-
tion OFF temporarily. The preset
ORGAN tone can once again be played
with 10-note polyphony.
Select a new Primary sound—the
STRINGS tone for example, and turn
the Tone Bank function back ON. As
the secondary sound (FLUTE) does not
change in this case, you can now play
the “STRINGS + FLUTE” integrated
Tone Bank sound with 5-note poly-
phony.

* Using Synchro/fill-in button
Press to enter synchro start standby. Rhythm starts
when an accompaniment keyboard key (lower 15
octave, C through F) is pressed. (See page 13-14 to use
synchro start in the auto-accompaniment perfor-
mance.) When pressed during auto-rhythm and accom-
paniment performance, an appropriate fill-in is inserted
in the rhythm pattern. If the button is held down, the
fill-in pattern is repeated until the end of the measure
during which the button is released.
Using Intro/ending button
If you press the intro/ending button instead of press-
ing the start/stop button to start an auto-rhythm, the
selected auto-rhythm begins after a one-measure intro
pattern. This can be an effective way to lead into auto-
rhythm performance. If pressed during auto-rhythm
and accompaniment performance, the rhythm stops af-
ter an appropriate ending pattern.
* Using synchro start with an intro pattern
Press the synchro/fill-in button to enter synchro start
standby, and subsequently press the Intro/ending but-
ton. Rhythm starts when an accompaniment keyboard
key is pressed, after a one-measure intro pattern.

* Auto-accompaniment starts with rhythm, the moment
the accompaniment keyboard key is pressed if synchro
start is in standby status.

Casio Chord system
The Casio Chord system has been developed so you
can play the four main types of chords more easily.
Playing of the chords is simplified as shown below:
* Pressing one of the accompaniment keyboard keys
produces a major chord corresponding to that
note.
* Simultaneously pressing any key to the right (two
keys at the same time) results in a minor chord.
* Similarly, pressing one more key to the right (three
keys in all) produces a seventh chord, and press-
ing the fourth key to the right (four keys in all)
creates a minor seventh chord. `
< Examples >
C (C major chord)—Press @.
Cm (C minor chord)—Press @, @ together.

«About “Fingered 1" and “Fingered 2"
This keyboard features two different types of fingered
accompaniment patterns. You can select which type you
want by selecting either the Fingered 1 mode, or the
Fingered 2 mode. Respective accompaniment patterns and
characteristics are as listed below.
(Fingered 1 Accompaniment)
Accompaniment consists of a single bass line and two
different backing chord patterns. The pattern does not
change until you play a chord consisting of at least 3 notes.
(Fingered 2 Accompaniment)
Accompaniment consists of a single bass line and a single
backing chord pattern. In addition, you can add notes
manually in two-note polyphony on the “accompaniment
keyboard" without affecting the accompaniment pattern.
The pattern does not change until you play a chord con-
sisting of at least 3 notes.
* Auto-accompaniment tones are preset in correspondence to each
auto-rhythm type. A list of auto-rhythms and corresponding accom-
paniment tenes is previded on: pape 15.
