ZA
Do not place keyboard on lacquered furniture.
* The instrument's silicone rubber feet may
eventually blacken or scar lacquered sur-
faces. Use felt cloth pads to insulate the feet
or preferably use a CASIO musical instru-
ment stand designed for your keyboard.
Do not place heavy objects on the instrument. |
* Do not place heavy objects on the instru-
ment. This may cause the instrument to tip
over or break resulting in injury.
Volume
* Very high volume levels can damage hear-
ing. Avoid using the instrument at very high
volume settings for long periods. Consult with
a physician immediately if you experience
impaired hearing or ringing in the ears.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Precautions
* Avoid subjecting the keyboard's LCD to
strong impact, which can crack or break
the LCD's glass creating the danger of per-
sonal injury.
Should the LCD glass ever crack or break,
do not allow the liquid inside the LCD to
come into contact with your skin, which
can cause inflammation and reddening.
*Should the LCD liquid get into your
mouth, inmediately wash out your mouth
with water and then consult a physician.
*Should the LCD liquid get in your eyes or
on your skin, inmediately flush with wa-
ter for at least 15 minutes and then consult
a physician.
Do not get onto the instrument or stand.*
* Do not crawl on top of the instrument or its
optional stand. Particular caution is re-
quired in homes having small children. This |
may cause the instrument or stand to tip
over and break resulting in injury.
Optional Stand*
* Carefully assemble the stand following the
— assembly instructions that come with it. Se-
curely tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners,
and make sure that you mount the instru-
ment correctly onto the stand. Incorrectly
or insufficiently tightening screws, or in-
correctly mounting the instrument onto the
stand can cause the stand to tip over or the
instrument to fall off the stand, possibly
leading to injury.
* The stand is available as an option.
E-4
Avoid strong impact and rough handling. |
Your keyboard is made of precision components that can malfunc-
tion when subjected to strong impact and rough handling.
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 chemi-
cals 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.
Extremely high or low temperature 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 tempera-
ture.
- Lithium Battery Precautions
The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer
and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of
the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard power can result in
deletion of all data stored in its memor;
The normal life of the original battery is five years from the time it is
loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and storage, the
original battery probably will not provide a full five years of service
life. It is up to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider
about having the lithium battery replaced periodically.
* CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held responsible for
any losses to you or any third party due to loss or corruption of
data caused by malfunction or repair of this keyboard, or by bat-
tery replacement. -
ENOTES ‚

contrast setting, SMF playback settings (WK-1800 only)
Memory Contents
In addition to the above settings, Registration, Song Sequencer, Pat-
tern Sequencer, and Synthesizer memory contents are also retained
when power is turned off.
Power Requirements
The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer, Pattern Sequencer
and other data while keyboard power is turned off. If the power of
the lithium battery is low, turning off keyboard power can result in
deletion of all data stored in its memory.
The normal life of the original battery is five years from the time it is
loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and storage, the
original battery probably will not provide a full five years of service
life. It is up to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider
about having the lithium battery replaced periodically.
Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery replace-
ment. - ;
To protect against loss of valuable memory data, we strongly suggest
that you use either of the following methods to back it up.
* Perform a MIDI dump of the data to a computer or other external
device for storage. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E-
65 for details.
+ Save the data to diskette (WK-1800 only). See “Using the Floppy
Disk Drive” on page E-67 for details.

Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can
play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note polyphony, which
includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accom-
paniment 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 key-
board play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-
note polyphony.
Digital Sampling :
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have
been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sam-
pling. 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 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 un-
avoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunc-
tion. : ;
Using Layer
‘With layer you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a lay-
- ered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever you pressa
key. For example, you could layer the FRENCH HORN tone on the
BRASS tone to produce a rich and brassy sound.

30: The main tone is UPPER1, while the layered tone is UP-
PER2.
* Tf you don't want to use the Mixer, select a keyboard tone as
you normally would (page E-16). This is the main tone. Next,
proceed to step 2.

Layering is produced by sounding Mixer internal mode CH 1 (UPPER1)
and CH 2 (UPPER2) at the same time. This means you can use the Mixer
to change the volume balance and stereo pan position parameters for both
the main tone and layered tone. See “Mixer Function” on page E-28 for
details. -

Using Split
With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a split
tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets you play one tone
with your left hand and another tone with your right hand. For ex-
ample, you could select STRINGS as the main (high range) tone and
PIZZICATO as the split (low range) tone, putting an entire string

*2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.
INOTES 1
Except for the chords specified in note™ above, inverted fingerings (i.e.
playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords
as the standard fingering.
Except for the exception specified in note"? above, all of the keys that
make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key
will not play the desired FINGERED chord.
EN FULL RANGE CHORD
This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38
chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 addition-
al variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys
that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any
multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is inter-
preted as melody play. Because of this, there is no need for a separate
accompaniment keyboard, and the entire keyboard from end-to-end
can be used for both melody and chords.

About Auto Harmonize notes and tones
The notes you play on the keyboard are called “melody notes,” while
the notes added to the melody by Auto Harmonize is called the “har-
monize notes.” Auto Harmonize normally uses the tone you selected
for the melody notes as the tone for the harmonize notes, but you can
use the Mixer (page E-28) to specify a different tone for the harmo-
nize notes.
The harmonize note tone is assigned to Mixer Channel 2, so change
Channel 2 to the tone you want to use for the harmonize notes.
In addition to the tone, you can also use the Mixer to change a num-
ber of other parameters, such as volume balance. See “Changing the
Parameters of a Channel” on page E-30 for details on these proce-
dures.
E NOTES 1
* The default harmonize note tone when you first turn on Auto Harmonize
is the same tone as the melody note tone
* Changing the melody tone setting automatically changes the harmo-
nize note tone to the same setting.
Using One-touch Preset

Mixer Features
The Auto Accompaniment feature and sequencers of this keyboard
can play up to 16 different musical instrument parts at the same time.
You can also play along on the keyboard, and even use layer and
split to add even more instrument parts. .
For example, the following table shows the seven parts that would
play if you use layer to play two tones on the keyboard while Auto
Accompaniment play is in progress.
The Mixer makes it possible for you to turn each of the above parts
on and off, and also specify the tone, volume, stereo (pan) point, and
DSP effect for each.

* In this manual, “channel” is abbreviated as “CH,” which matches the
channel numbers marked on the keyboard above the CHANNEL but-
tons. -
The CHANNEL button name in the above table corresponds to the text
marked on the keyboard below the CHANNEL buttons.
The part names shown in the “Part” column of the above table corre-
spond to the parts that can be selected using the Mixer’s internal mode.
In the case of the External Mode (see following section), the part as-
signed to each channel corresponds to each MIDI channel.
Mixer Modes
The Mixer has two main modes, an Internal mode and an External
- Mode, each of which is described in detail below.
Internal Mode
This mode lets you control each channel (internal channels) when
using the keyboard internal control (keyboard play, Auto Accompa-
niment, Song Sequencer playback). This is the default Mixer mode
whenever you turn on keyboard power.

External Channel
| The External Mode allows independent control of there 16 external channels.
The External Mode has three sub-modes: External, External/Solo, and
External/Play.
External ................ This is the basic External Mode, which is used
for most external channel parameters.
External/Solo ........ This mode turns one channel on and all other
channels off. It is used playing MIDI input (or
SMF playback*) that simultaneously uses multi-
ple channels of the keyboard's sound source.
External/Play ........ This mode is a mirror of the External /Solo Mode.
; It turns one channel off and all other channels on.
It comes in handy, for example, when you want
to turn off a specific part of SMF playback* and
play along on the keyboard.
INOTES I
* The internal channels controlled by the internal mode are completely
different from the externa! channels controlled by the external mode.
This means that there are a total of 32 different channels. The Mixer
mode saves internal mode and External Mode parameters separately
from each other.
The External Mode is for MIDI (or SMF playback*). Operation of the
External/Play Mode is particularly suited to MIDI play. See “MIDI” on
page E-60 for information about how the Mixer is used during MIDI op-
erations.
* SMF Playback (WK-1800 only)
The built-in disk drive of the WK-1800 allows playback of SMF
(standard MIDI files) from diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk
Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on page E-67 for details.

The Synthesizer of this keyboard provides all the tools you need for
creating your own original tones. Simply select one of the built-in
tones and change its parameters to create your own original sound.
You can even store your sounds in memory for later recall using the
same procedure as that used to select a preset tone.
Synthesizer Functions
- The following describes how to use each of the functions available
with the Synthesizer.
Synthesizer Parameters
~The sounds of the preset tones built into this keyboard are controlled
by settings called “parameters.” To create a user tone, you first recall
a preset tone and then change its parameters. Note that drum set
tones (192 through 199) cannot be used as the basis of a user tone.
The figure below shows the parameters that make up the preset tones
and what each parameter does. As you can see, these parameters can
be divided into four groups, each of which is described in detail in
the following pages.

1DCO and 2DCO Tones
“DCO” stands “Digitally Controlled Oscillator,” and it represents the
smallest unit of sound output by this keyboard. Some of the built-in
tones are simple tones (1DCO), and some are layered tones (2DCO).
Whenever you select a 2DCO tone as the basis for creating a user
tone, remember that you must change the parameters of both of the
tones (DCO1 and DCO2) that make up the layered 2DCO tone.

Saving User Tones
The group of tone numbers from 200 through 231 (USER01 through
USER32) is called the “user area” because they are reserved for stor-
age of user tones. After you recall a preset tone and change its pa-
rameters to create your own user tone, you can store it in the user
area for later recall. You can recall your tones using the same proce-
dure that you use when selecting a preset tone.

#NOTES I
* When the keyboard is shipped from the factory, the user area (tones
200 to 231) contain the same tones as tones 128 through 159.
You cannot use a drum set tone (192 to 199) as the basis of a user tone.
Whenever you save a tone and assign it one of the tone numbers in the
user area, any tone data previously assigned to that number is replaced
with the new data.
The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power
to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard power is turned
off. See “Lithium Battery Precautions” on page E-4 for important infor-
mation about the lithium battery.
* You can use the keyboard's MIDI capabilities to save your original tones
to a computer or other external storage device. See “Bulk Sending Key-
board Data” on page E-65 for details.
With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save original
tones to diskette. See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on
page E-67 for details.

User Tone Creation Hints
The following hits provide helpful advice on making user tone cre-
ation a bit quicker and easier.
Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to create.
Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are trying
to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset tone that is
similar. If you want to use a layered tone, start out with a 2DCO tone.
Determine the most important parameter.
The PCM Set and Amp Envelope Set parameters are the major fac-
tors that determine the overall personality of a tone. Start out with:
“these two parameters to get the general sound you want, and then
use the other parameters to add the finishing touches.
Experiment with various different settings.
There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like. Let your
imagination run free and experiment with different combinations.
You may be surprised at what you can achieve.

The built-in Song Sequencer lets you record up to two separate songs
in memory for later playback. .
Songs and Tracks
The Song Sequencer records and plays back much like a standard
tape recorder. You can have up to two separate, independent songs
in Song Sequencer memory at the same time.
Each song is make up of a total of six tracks, each of which can be
recorded separately. Then when you play back the tracks together, it
sounds like an entire group of musicians, each playing a different
part.

Song
As shown in the illustration above, you add tracks one-by-one while
listening to the tracks you recorded previously.
4 NOTES Y
* With this keyboard, Track 1 can be used to record keyboard play and
Auto Accompaniment. Tracks 2 through 6 can be used for keyboard
play only, so they are called melody tracks. As shown in the illustration
above, you record Tracks 2 through 6 while listening to what you have
already recorded up to that point.
Note that each track is independent of the others. This means that even
if you make a mistake while recording, you only need to re-record the
track where the mistake was made. — .
Tone settings can be changed during recording, and each tone change
is recorded in the applicable track. This means you can have up to six
different instrument parts in one song. -
Recording
There are two methods you can use to record with the Song Sequenc-
er: real-time recording and punch-in recording.
Real-time Recording
pth this method, notes are recorded as you play them on the key-
boa
Punch-in Recording
This method lets you re-record from a specific section of a song that
is already in memory. You can use punch-in recording to correct mis-
takes you made during real-time recording.
733A-E-041A
Global Settings and Operations
À global setting or operation is one that affects all the tracks that make
up a song. The following is a list of the global settings and opera-
tions.
* Metronome setting
* Song delete
* Meter setting
e Initial tempo value
* Quantize setting after recording
See “Global Settings and Operations” on page E-45 for full details on
what each setting and operation does, and how to use them.
Song Sequencer Data
The type of data that is stored by the Song Sequencer during a re-
cording operation depends on whether you are using real-time re-
cording or punch-in recording. The same type of data is recorded
regardless of the track, except that only Track 1 records Auto Accom-
paniment.
Real-time Recording — Track 1 Only

Mixer settings can be made at the beginning of the recording only,
but they can be changed after the recording is complete. The Mixer
settings in effect when you enter record standby are the ones that are
recorded.
Song Sequencer Memory Capacity
Song Sequencer memory capacity depends on the keyboard model.
WK-1800 : 8,000 note
WK-1600/1630 : 4, 900 notes
* Available notes can all be used for a single song, € or divided be-
tween two songs.
* The measure number (item 11 on page E-10) and beat number (item
10 on page E-10) flashing on the display during recording indi-
cates that memory is almost full (space for about 100 notes or less
remaining).
* Recording stops automatically as soon as memory becomes full.
Auto Accompaniment and rhythm pattern play also stops at this
time if you are using them.
Song Sequencer Memory Precautions
Note the following important points about data stored in Song Se-
quencer Memory.
* Recording to a track that already contains data replaces the previ-
ous recording with the new one.
* The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain Song Sequencer memory data. If
this lithium battery goes dead, memory contents are deleted any
time keyboard power is turned off. The normal life of the original
battery is five years from the time it is loaded at the factory. It is up
to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider about hav-
ing the lithium battery replaced periodically. Note that the cost for
battery replacement will be charged to you.
E-40
* Turning off the keyboard while a record operation is in progress
causes any data partially recorded to a track to be deleted.
* Song Sequencer memory contents can be sent to a computer or other
external device as MIDI data for storage. See “Bulk Sending Key-

The Pattern Seguencer lets you modify the keyboard's 120 built-in
Auto Accompaniment patterns or create your own original pattern
from scratch.
Pattern Sequencer Basics
Each Auto Accompaniment pattern is actually a group of six differ-
ent elements named: normal, intro, variation, normal fill in, varia-
tion fill in, and ending. Each element is made up of five parts, named:
Rhythm, Bass, Chord 1, Chord 2, and Chord 3. The following table
shows the makeup of each element.
Bass | Chord1 | Chord 2 | Chord 3

Pattern Sequencer Recording Contents
The Pattern Sequencer lets you record notes for each of the parts that
makes up an element. You can alter any of the elements of a built-in
Auto Accompaniment, or you can create one or more of your own
original elements from scratch. .
Content that can be recorded to each part within each
element using real-time recording
* Notes played on the keyboard
* PITCH BEND wheel operation (Bend range fixed at 2 for user pat-
tern creation)
* MODULATION wheel operation
* Pedal operation (when an optional pedal is connected)
- Content that can be recorded once for each pattern
* Tempo
* Beat (Only when work area is empty.)
Content that can be recorded to each element
* Number of measures ;
The number of measures for Intro, Normal, Variation, and Ending
can specified only when recording to a blank element. Fill-in is
always one measure long, and cannot be changed.
* Fill-in (Cannot change inside one measure.)

The Pattern Sequencer has two modes: a Pattern Create Mode for
recording a new pattern, and a Pattern Edit Mode for changing the
settings of a pattern.
After you finish creating or editing a pattern, you store it in memory
and assign it a number for later recall.
The following procedure provides the basics for navigating between
Pattern Sequencer modes.
To navigate between Pattern Sequencer
modes :
1. ‘Before turning on the Pattern Sequencer, select the
rhythm you want to use as a base for your original
rhythm.
2. Press the PATTERN button. :
* This enters the Pattern Create Mode, which is indicated when
the indicator lamp above the PATTERN button is lit. The in-
dicator “Ptn” in the tone/ rhythm number area of the dis-
play (item 3 on page E-10) also indicates that the Pattern Cre-
ate Mode. ‚
Entering the Pattern Create Mode copies the rhythm you se-
lected in Step 1 into the Song Sequencer work area. Opera-
tions you perform with the Pattern Sequencer affect the pat-
- tern that is currently in the work area.
If the rhythm pattern you selected in step 1 is too large to fit
in the work area, the Message “Ptn Mem Full” appears on
the display for about three seconds. After that, the keyboard
enters to the Pattern Create Mode with the work area empty.
To make more room in the work area for the rhythm pattern,
delete user rhythm patterns stored in the user area (pattern
numbers 100 through 109) that you no longer need.
* In the Pattern Create Mode, you can play back the accompa-
niment pattern in the work area and even record along with
the playback. See “Using the Pattern Create Mode” on page
E-50 for full details on using the Pattern Create Mode.

Mode.
* The Pattern Edit Mode screen can be scrolled between the
following three menus with the [A] and [Y] cursor keys:

Saving an Edited Pattern
* The 10 rhythm numbers 120 through 129 make up the user rhythm
area, where you can store your original rhythms. You can recall a
user rhythm with the same operation as that for recalling a built-in
pattern, and you can even use a user rhythm pattern as the base for
creating a new rhythm pattern.
The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard
power is turned off. See “Power Requirements” on page E-15 for
important information about the lithium battery.
You can use the keyboard's MIDI capabilities to save your original
accompaniment patterns to a computer or other external storage
device. See “Bulk Sending Keyboard Data” on page E-65 for de-
tails.
* With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save orig-
inal accompaniment patterns to diskette. See “Using the Floppy
Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)” on page E-67 for details.
You can store up to 10 accompaniment patterns in the user area,
but the actual number of patterns you will be able to store depends
on their sizes. If the patterns you store are relatively large, memo-
ry become full after fewer than 10 patterns are stored.
Using the Pattern Create Mode
This section describes how to use the Pattern Create Mode to create
an original accompaniment pattern.
IMPORTANT!
The procedures in this section all assume that you have read and are
familiar with the information under “Pattern Sequencer Basics” on
page E-48, and that you already know how to navigate between Pat-
tern Sequencer modes.

Be sure to save your work whenever you quit an accompaniment pattern
creation session. See “Exiting the Pattern Sequencer Mode” on page E-56

Pattern Creation Techniques
You can use either of the two following techniques to create an ac-
companiment pattern.
* Base Pattern Editing
While playing back the part of a built-in pattern or previously cre-
ated user pattern, you can add or delete notes, or completely de-
lete a part and replace it with a new one.
* From Scratch
With this method, you must input all the parts for all the elements
you want to use. With this method, you must use the procedure
under “Work Area Clear” on page E-54 to clear the Pattern Seguenc-
er work area before you start recording.
The record procedure is identical, no matter which of the above meth-
ods you use. .
The following procedure tells you how to play back individual ele-
ments of the accompaniment pattern currently stored in the Pattern
Sequencer work area. If you are going to use the base pattern editing
method described above, you can use this procedure to become fa-
miliar with all the parts that make up the pattern before you actually
start editing it.

| PrtChord=00= |
Accompaniment patterns are normally recorded in the key of C. When
you select an accompaniment pattern and specify a key by with the
accompaniment keyboard, the pattern is transposed from the key of
C to the specified key. Simply transposing chords on a one-to-one
basis, however, can result in mechanical, unnatural sounding pat-
terns. To compensate for this, the keyboard has 19 built-in chord con-
version tables that make chord progressions in different keys sound
more natural.

*1 Sustain Effect
With piano tones and other sounds that decay, the pedal acts as a
damper pedal, with sounds being sustained longer when the pedal
“ is depressed. With organ tones and other continuous sounds, notes
played on the keyboard continue to sound until the pedal is re-
leased. In either case, the sustain effect is also applied to any notes
that are played while the pedal is depressed.
Sostenuto Effect
This effect performs the same way as sustain, except that it is ap-
plied only to notes that are sounding already when the pedal is
depressed. It does not affect notes that are played after the pedal
is depressed.

What is MIDI? .
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which
is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connec-
tors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musi-
cal instruments and computers (machines) produced by different
manufacturers. MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard
key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages.
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 going.
MIDI Connections
MIDI messages are send out through the MIDI OUT terminal of one
machine to the MIDI IN terminal of another machine over a MIDI
cable. To send a message from this keyboard to another machine, for
example, you must use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT termi-
nal 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
cable 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 playback the
MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must connect the MIDI
IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both machines in order send and re-
ceive data.
MIDI IN [vo OUT
Computer etc.
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, pedal op-
eration, etc.).
This keyboard is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities, which
means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up
to 16 parts at the same time.
Keyboard and pedal operations performed on this keyboard are sent
out by selecting a MIDI channel (1 to 16) and then sending the appro-
priate message.
E-60
General MIDI
As we have already seen, MIDI makes is possible to exchange musi-
cal data between devices produced by different manufacturers. This
musical data does not consist of the notes themselves, but rather in-
formation on whether a keyboard key is pressed or released, and the
tone number.
If tone number 1 on a keyboard produced by Company A is PIANO
while tone number 1 on a Company B's keyboard is BASS, for exam-
ple, sending data from Company A's keyboard to Company B's key-
board produces a result entirely different from the original. If a com-
puter, seguencer or other device with auto accompaniment capabili-
ties is used to produce music data for the Company A keyboard which
has 16 parts (16 channels) and then that data is sent to the Company
B keyboard which can receive only 10 parts (10 channels), the parts
that cannot be played will not be heard.
The standard for the tone numbering sequence, the number of parts,
- and other general factors that determine the sound source configura-
tion, which was arrived at by mutual consultations by manufactur-
ers, is called General MIDI.
The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering sequence,
the drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI channels
that can be used, and other general factors that determine the sound
source configuration. Because of this, musical data produced on a
General MIDI sound source can be played back using similar tones
and identical nuances as the original, even when played on another
manufacturers sound source.
This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be
connected to a computer or other device and used to play back Gen-
. eral MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Inter-
net, or obtained from any others source.

Making MIDI Settings
This section describes the MIDI settings you need to make when con-
necting this keyboard to a sequencer, synthesizer, or other external
device. Once connected, you can send and receive data, and even
play back commercially available General MIDI data.
MIDI Settings
GM SYSTEM ON/OFF (Default: on)
The parameters of the executable channel are always initialized when-
ever the GM SYSTEM ON/OFF setting is changed.

LOCAL CONTROL (Default: on)
This setting determines whether or not the keyboard and sound source
of this keyboard are connected internally. When recording to a com-
puter or other external device connected to this keyboard's MIDI IN/
OUT terminal, it helps if you turn LOCAL CONTROL off.

from the MIDI OUT terminal, without being sounded by the in-
ternal sound source. Turn LOCAL CONTROL off whenever you
are using the MIDI THRU function of a computer or other exter-
nal device. Also note that no sound is produced by the keyboard
if LOCAL CONTROL is turned off and no external device is con-
nected.

MIDI Messages
There is a wide variety of messages defined under the MIDI stan-
dard. This section details the particular messages that can be sent
and received by this keyboard. An asterisk (3) is used to mark mes-
sages that affect the entire keyboard, while messages without an as-
terisk are those that affect only a particular channel.
NOTE ON/OFF
This message sends data when a key is pressed (NOTE ON) or re-
leased (NOTE OFF).
A NOTE ON/OFF message includes a note number (to indicate the
note whose key is being pressed or released) and velocity (keyboard
pressure as a value from 1 to 127). NOTE ON velocity is always used
to determine the relative strength of the note. This keyboard does not
receive NOTE OFF velocity data.
Pressing a keyboard key sends the corresponding NOTE ON mes- -
sage from the MIDI OUT terminal, while releasing the key sends the
corresponding NOTE OFF message. Ио

Press the key
MIDI OUT Terminal NOTE ON
* Note number (tone)
* Velocity (volume)
Release the key ;
MIDI OUT Terminal NOTE OFF

* Velocity (00)
ANOTE .. . : .
The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as shown in
the “Note Table” on page A-1. 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.
PROGRAM CHANGE
This is the tone select message. PROGRAM CHANGE can contain
tone data within the range of 0 to 127.
A PROGRAM CHANGE message is sent out through the keyboard's
MIDI OUT terminal whenever you manually change its tone num-
ber. Receipt of a PROGRAM CHANGE message from an external
device changes the tone setting of this keyboard.
PITCH BEND
This message carries pitch bend information for sliding pitch upwards
or downwards during keyboard play.
Performing a pitch bend operation on this keyboard simultaneously
changes the pitch of the built-in sound source and sends a PITCH
BEND message out through the MIDI OUT terminal.
CONTROL CHANGE
This message adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes. CON-
TROL CHANGE data includes a control number (to identify the ef-
fect type) and a control value (to specify the on/off status and depth
of the effect).
The following is a list of data that can be send or received using CON-
TROL CHANGE. :

RPN* 100 / 101
Data Entry 6/38
*1 The BANK SELECT setting of PROGRAM CHANGE can be used
to access any of this keyboard's 232 tones when selecting tones on
this keyboard from an external device. The 232 tones are divided
between four banks, as described below.
Bank 0: 128 General MIDI tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 127)
Bank 1: 64 variation tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 63)
Bank 2: 8 drum sets (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 7)
Bank 3: 32 user tones (PROGRAM CHANGE 0 to 31)
733A-E-065A
Immediately prior to sending the PROGRAM CHANGE message,
send two successive CONTROL CHANGE messages containing
the following data. |
CONTROL NUMBER=0 CONTROL VALUE=<bank number>
CONTROL NUMBER=32 CONTROL VALUE= 0
E NOTE 8 `
Data received by the sound source of this keyboard over MIDI Channel 10
is always treated as drum set data, and can be sounded using one of the
eight drum set sounds only. Because of this, PROGRAM CHANGE 0
through 7 always corresponds to drum set tones, so BANK SELECT data
is not necessary when PROGRAM CHANGE is received over channel 10.
*2 “RPN” stands for “Registered Parameter Number”, which is a spe-
cial control change number used when combining multiple con-
trol changes. The parameter being controlled is selected using the
control values of control numbers 100 and 101, and then settings
are made using the control values of DATA ENTRY (contro! num-
bers 6 and 38).
This keyboard supports pitch bend sense, coarse tune, and fine
tune RPNs sent from other MIDI machines.
FH NOTE 4 /
Sustain (CONTROL NUMBER 64), sostenuto (CONTROL NUMBER 66),
and soft (CONTROL NUMBER 67) effects applied using the foot pedal
can also be sent and received.
ALL SOUND OFF
This message forces all sound being produced over the current chan-
nel to stop.
— ALL NOTES OFF
This message causes all notes being produced over the current chan-
nel due to NOTE ON messages to stop. This message is valid only for
MIDI data notes.
RESET ALL CONTROLLERS
This messages initializes pitch bend and all other control changes.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE *:
This message is used to control system exclusives, which are fine ad-
justments that are unique to a particular MIDI device. Originally, sys-
tem exclusives were unique to a particular model, but now there are
also universal system exclusives that are applicable to machines that
are different models and even produced by different manufacturers.
The following are the system exclusive messages supported by this
keyboard.
GM SYSTEM ON ([FO] [7E] [7F] [09] [01] [F7])
GM SYSTEM ON is used by an external machine to turn on this key-
board's GM system. “GM” stands for “General MIDI”,
* GM SYSTEM ON takes more time to process than other messages,
so it can take more than 100 msec until the next message is pro-
cessed. i
GM SYSTEM OFF ([F0] [7E] [7F] [09] [02] [F7])
GM SYSTEM OFF is used by an external device to turn off this key-
board's GM system.
EFFECT CHANGE ([F0] [44] [0B] [09] [XXI [F7])
EFFECT CHANGE switches between the keyboard's internal digital
effects. The “XX” parameter in the syntax shown above stands for a
hexadecimal value that represents an effect number sent from an ex-
ternal machine. A list of the hexadecimal values that can be specified
and their meanings is shown below.

MIDI Functions and Mixer Functions
As explained under “Mixer Modes” on page E-28, this keyboard has
a total of 32 channels: 16 internal channels and 16 external channels.
Of these, you can use the external channels to play notes on the key-
board in accordance with received MIDI data and select tones. Inter-
nal channel settings have no affect on MIDI receive data. (Excluding
External/Play)

In the Internal Mode, Mixer settings (channel on/off, volume, and
other settings) are affected by internal channel settings only. MIDI
input can be controlled using the external channels only, so the Mix-
er can be used without affecting MIDI input. Because of this, the In-
ternal Mode is best for the following type of application.
* When you want to use the multi-timbre capabilities of the key-
board's sound source to play along on the keyboard with playback
_ of external MIDI data, and make separate settings for the keyboard
notes. You can use the Internal Mode to change the tone, layer, split
and other settings for keyboard play, without affecting MIDI in-
put. -

In the External Mode, Mixer functions affect the external channels,
so they also have a direct affect on the corresponding MIDI input
© channels. Because of this, the External Mode is best for the following
types of applications.
* To control MIDI input channel on/off settings. The CHI through
CH16 CHANNEL buttons correspond to MIDI channels 1 through
16, so channels can be toggled on and off by pressing the corre-
sponding button.
* You can use the Mixer to change the tone and volume for each chan-
nel, and to make a variety of other settings. See “Changing the Pa-
rameters of a Channel” on page E-30. ; |
INOTES 1
* All settings except for Channel on/off are changed at the next MIDI
message receive after the setting is made. .
* Though you can play on the keyboard without affecting MIDI input as
with the Internal Mode, you cannot change keyboard settings. Except
for when a channel other than the current channel is selected, you can
change the main tone setting using the standard tone selection proce-
dure shown under “Selecting a Tone” on page E-16.

In this mode, only the channel on/off method is different from the
External Mode. Pressing a CHANNEL button turns on only the chan-
nel assigned to that button and turns all other channels off.
This mode is normally used for checking the contents of a specific
channel during MIDI receive. You can change settings, play on the
keyboard, and perform other operations just as you do in the Exter-
nal Mode.

This mode is the opposite of the External /Solo Mode in that pressing
a CHANNEL button turns off only the channel assigned to that but-
ton and turns all other channels on. This capability comes in handy
when you want to cut out a part of the MIDI receive data and play
that part on the keyboard. This is different from the play along capa-
bility of the Internal Mode, where you play along as all the parts of
the MIDI receive data play.
For example, let's say the keyboard is receiving a tune that uses MIDI
Channels 1 through 10, and you want to play the horn section part on
Channel 5 on the keyboard. Simply enter the External/Play Mode
and press the CH5 CHANNEL button. This turns off CH5 and copies
its Mixer settings (tone, control changes, and other data) to internal
channel CH1, which is the channel that controls the keyboard tone
(main tone). Now you can use the keyboard to play the horn section
part on the keyboard, using the appropriate MIDI data settings.
Bulk Sending Keyboard Data
This keyboard stores a variety of internal data, including data re-
corded with the sequencers and synthesizer. This data can be sent
and received in bulk as MIDI exclusive data through the MIDI termi-
nals. This capability makes it possible for you use a computer or oth-
er MIDI machine as an external storage device for your data.
Before performing the following procedures, you must first connect
this keyboard's MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals to an external
machine using MIDI cables.

Floppy Disk Drive Features
The WK-1800 comes with a built-in disk drive, which provides you
With the capabilities described below.
* You can save sequencer and synthesizer data on a floppy diskette
for long-term storage. When you need the data again, simply in-
sert the diskette into the disk drive and load it.
* You can play back SMF (standard MIDI file) data created ona per-
sonal computer and saved to diskette.
-_* Youcan convert rhythm data saved to diskette from another make
of electronic musical instrument (Roland, Technics) and save it as
user rhythm data.
Floppy Diskette Precautions
- IMPORTANT!
* Avoid the following locations when storing and using diskettes.
Any of the conditions noted below can cause data stored on the
diskette to become corrupted.
* Near TVs, on top of audio equipment, or in any area exposed to
magnetism. Take special care to keep diskettes away from any
source of magnetism
* Areas exposed to direct sunlight, or subject to high humidity or
temperature extremes.
stored on the diskette to become corrupted.
* Never try to take a diskette apart.
* Never open the shutter of the diskette or touch the film inside
with your fingers.
- * Never bend a diskette or otherwise subject it to rough handling.
* Affix labels in the spaces provided only, and do not affix labels
on top of previous ones.
* Do not eject the diskette from the drive while the access lamp is lit
or flashing or turn off keyboard power with a diskette in the drive.
Doing either can cause data on the diskette to become corrupted
and can even cause malfunction of the disk drive.
Never insert any foreign objects into the disk drive. Doing so can
cause it to malfunction.
* The disk drive uses a magnetic head. A dirty head cannot read data
from a diskette properly and can corrupt existing data on the dis-
kette. To avoid this, be sure to use a commercially available head
cleaning diskette to periodically clean the head.
* Do not use a computer, another electronic musical instrument, or
any other device to change a file name or file contents created with
this keyboard. Doing so can make the data unusable by this key-
board and even cause malfunction of the keyboard.
Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable
for any loss to you or any third party due to corruption or acci-
dental erasure of data on a diskette.

Playing Back an SMF
SMF (standard MIDI file) is a data format that makes it possible.to
port MIDI data between sequencers and synthesizers of different type
and brand. There are actually three different SMF formats, named 0,
1, and 2. This keyboard supports SMF Format 0, which is the most
common. Most synthesizers, sequencers, and commercially available
- pre-recorded software and MIDI files use SMF Format 0.
The built in disk drive of the WK-1800 lets you play back files created
with a personal computer or other device and saved to diskette.
To play a specific file from diskette

Saving and Recalling Memory Data
The built-in disk drive lets you save sequencer, synthesizer, and oth-
er data from the keyboard's memory to diskette for later recall when
you need it.
Savable Data
The following is a list of keyboard data that can be saved to diskette.
(1) User rhythms created using the Pattern Sequencer
(2) User song data created using the Song Sequencer
(3) User tones created using the Synthesizer
(4) Setups saved in registration memory
* Saving tone, rhythm, or song data only causes each tone, rhythm,
or song to be saved as a separate file.
* Saving registration memory data only causes all 20 setups (5 set-
ups x 4 banks) in registration memory to be saved as a single file.
* Using the save all operation causes all the data currently in key-
board memory to be saved as a single file.
#NOTESE -
* ‘You can save individual tones, rhythms and songs in separate files only.
You cannot save all tones, or all rhythms, or both songs in a single file.
« All registration memory data can be batch saved in a single file only.
You cannot save individual banks or setups.
File Name Extensions
A three-letter extension is automatically added to file names to iden-
tify the type of data the file contains. The keyboard does not display
extensions, but they will appear if you view the file names on a com-
