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 (about 80 kilobytes) as Song Bank tunes 65 through 69. For SMF data you purchase or create, you need to use special CASIO conversion software to convert it to CASIO format before transferring it to the keyboard.

You can obtain a copy of the special CASIO conversion software by downloading it at the Web page shown below. After downloading, install the software on your computer.

NOTE

•This keyboard supports SMF 0 format data.

•Voice Fingering Guide, on-screen fingering indicators, voice announcement of evaluation points, and the Practice Phrase function are not supported for commercially available SMF data.

General MIDI Tone

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 and used to play back General MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other source.
