Expanding the Selections in the Song Bank Tunes

You can transfer song data from your computer to the keyboard. You can store up to 5 tunes as Song Bank tunes 101 through 105. For SMF data you purchase or create, you need to use an SMF Converter to convert it to CASIO format before transferring it to the keyboard.

To install the SMF Converter

1On the computer to which you plan to connect, install the SMF Converter that comes on the CD- ROM that comes bundled with the keyboard.

On the CD-ROM, double-click “SMFConv-e.exe”, and then follow the instructions that appear on your computer screen to install SMF Converter.

Before installing SMF Converter, be sure to read the contents of the “smfreadme.txt” file in each language folder on the CD-ROM.

For information about using SMF Converter, double-click “index.html” in the [help] folder, which was created when you installed SMF Converter. You can also access user documentation from the Windows [Start] menu by clicking [Programs] - [CASIO] - [SMF Converter] - [manual].

A browser that supports frames (like Internet Explorer 4 or Netscape Navigator 4.04 or higher) is required to view the SMF Converter manual.
