Main

Features

of

the

HT-6000

1.

TONE

EDITING

&

WRITING

Although the HT-6000

is

a digital keyboard,

its

built-in sounds are created in a

system

which

is

very

similar in design to analog synthesizers,

so

that HT-6000 tones

can

be

freely edited

or

even written

from scratch by altering various parameters which determine the characteristics

of

each individual

sound. This allows you to edit preset sounds to your liking,

or

make your own original sounds.

2.

MIDI

COMPATIBILITY

The HT-6000

i's

MIDI-compatible, for connection with other MIDI synthesizers, sequencers and

memory devices.

I,

3.

CHORD/OPERATION

MEMORY

The HT-6000's CHORD/OPERATION MEMORY function allows you to create backing chord

patterns for

two

different

songs,

each containing up to 427 chords,

as

well

as

197

different

"operations," including changes in Tone, Rhythm, modulation, auto-harmonizing, fill-ins and

endings, for auto-accompaniment

of

your original

songs.

4.

TOUCH

RESPONSE

The HT-6000 features touch response, which

gives

you advanced control

over

keyboard dynamics.

You

can

even program unique effects to respond according to

key

touch.

5.

PATTERN

MEMORY

The

PATTERN

MEMORY function allows programming

of

up to

ten

2-bar patterns and ten 1-bar fill-

ins, including

bass,

rhythm, and chords. Create your own accompaniment patterns and play along!

In

addition, you

can

change the

basic

rhythm of your original patterns by selecting any

of

the Auto-

Rhythm tracks.

Auto-accompaniment

With

most conventional

keyboards, a

fai

r degree

of

skill

is

needed

to

play

melodies with

the

right hand

and accompaniment patterns

with

the left.

Not

so

with the

HT-6000.

The HT-6000

is

equipped

with Casio's unique Casio

Chord function. This lets you

add full-chord accompani-

ment

to

your melodies in

either "One-Finger"

or

"Fingered"

method,

depending on your skill and

preference. If you want, you

can create full chords by

pressing

only

a single key!

The auto-accompaniment

function not

only

lets you

decide

how

you want to play

accompaniment chords, it

automatically plays the

chords in a style that

matches the rhythm style

you've

selected . It will also

add

an

appropriate

bass

line

and obbligato pattern

according

to

the rhythm

you've

selected.

USING

CASIO

CHORD

ACCOMPANIMENT

CASIO

CHORD

PATTERNS

In

addition to major chords,

you

can

play a

wide

variety

of chords with the simplified

"Casio

Chord"

method.

•

Casio

Chord

Construction

When the Casio Chord

function

is

ON,

major chords

are

produced

which

have the

note pressed

as

a root. They

are

automatically played in

time with the rhythm pattern,

together

with

an

appropriate

bass

line and obbligato

pattern.

In

order

to

change the auto

accompaniment

to

a

minor

chord, simply press any other

key

on the

lower

tone

section

of

the keyboard to

the right

of

the root key,

together with

the

root.

Pressing

one

more

key (for a

total

of

three) produces

seventh chords,

while

press-

ing a fourth key produces

minor seventh chords.

USING

FINGERED

ACCOMPANIMENT

Fingered

accompaniment lets

you

create chords yourself,

by

playing corresponding

keys,

and adds

an

appropriate

bass

and

obbligato lines in

co

rr

espondence with the

rhythm style and type

of

chords played.
