Sampling proce: dures are simple, and stored sounds can even be used for playing chords up to 4:note polyphonic. A loop function makes repeat reproduction of the sound possible. +A host of sound processing functions Envelopes can be changed for both sampled sound and preset tones. A synthesizer func tion allows creation of original sounds. “Eight realistic preset tones Five realistic tones are produced on the PCM sound source, while harmonic synthesi produces another three tones. Tone selection is performed with the touch of a button. +Memory function ‘Compositions can be stored as they are played on the keyboard in up to 4-note poly: phonic (real-time memory). Up to two melodies and one chord progression can be stored separately (3-channel multi memory), while Auto Playback and One Key Play even al: lows beginners to play with ease.Oui ®Funetion selector ower off...

CAUTION *Use only genuine CASIO adaptors. “Remove the batteries from the battery compartment when the unit is not used for ex- tended periods. (Battery leakage can damage electrical parts.) “The adaptor may become warm when left connected to an outlet. This Is normal, but the adaptor should be disconnected when not in use. “THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE BATTERIES TO BURST: 1, Use of adaptors other than genuine CASIO adaptors. 2.

A signal sounds when this key is pressed to confirm operation, *The waveform of the sampled sound can be set using the envelope select but- ton (see page 9). NoTEs: The A key at the center of the keyboard corresponds to the pitch of the sampled sound. “The sampling period is approximately 1.4 seconds. After sampling, the sound is processed internally, and then a sharp metallic sound is produced to signal processing is complete. ‘Sampling from a tape recorder may cause some changes in sound quality ‘The built-in microphone cannot be used for zampling when a line is connected to the external microphone or line in terminal. The priority for connections is: line in, exter- ‘nal microphone, builtin microphone, ‘Pressing the sampling key puts the unit into the sampling stand by mode, In this mode, Power is not switched off when the function selector is set to “power off”.
