Storing and Loading Digital Keyboard Memory Data
You can transfer sampled sounds, recorded songs, and other data in Digital Keyboard memory to a computer for storage. You also can load standard MIDI file (SMF) data, and Auto Accompaniment data you download from the CASIO website to the Digital Keyboard, which greatly expands the Song Bank songs and Auto Accompaniment patterns available to you.
A special Data Manager application is required in order to transfer data to and from the Digital Keyboard.
Data Types Supported for Data Transfer
The same types of data that you can store to or recall from an SD memory card (page E-59) can be transferred to and from the Digital Keyboard. Note, that recorded song data can be transferred to a computer in the Digital Keyboard’s native format only. You cannot save recorded song data to a computer as a standard MIDI file (SMF format). With the CTK-5000 (only), you can save and recall scale memory data.

■Maintaining Data in Memory
After you save data in memory, it will remain there as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. However, if you disconnect the AC adaptor when there are no batteries loaded, saved data will be deleted.
Tips for Maintaining Data
•Use both batteries and the AC adaptor together.
•Make sure that batteries with sufficient power are loaded whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor.
•Connect the AC adaptor to the keyboard and plug it into a power outlet before replacing batteries.
Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor or replacing batteries, first press 1 to turn off power.
