CASIO WK TUTORIAL VIDEO
Need help with your new WK-1630 or WK-1800 that you just bought? Big retail
chain stores are generally clueless about how to use these fabulous,

2.25 hours of useful, understandable nuts and bolts explanations
of "how to" information backed up with musical examples to
help you learn.
This video, professionally produced in Great Britain by Technote

keyboards. The WK-1600/1630 and WK-1800 (with disk drive)

TALKING OWNER'S MANUALS PRODUCTS PROVIDE EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION
A Talking Owner's Manual is a proven learning system of spoken product instructions
on audio cassette for CASIO keyboards. It is a recorded explanation of how to
operate and use the electronic functions and features found on a CASIO keyboard.
As you listen to a T.O.M., it explains step-by-step the layout, control groups, color
codings, connections, care and safety, usable accessories, and what the knobs,
buttons, switches, sliders and displays can do on the keyboard. Since it is nearly
impossible to describe sound combinations in a printed book, the demonstrations
and explanations are supported by musical examples with sounds to make
learning to operate your keyboard easier than printed manuals.
Our audio instructions are created for those who dislike wading through printed
manuals, can't read small printing, lack the time or patience to understand the operational
steps described in print. A Talking Owner's Manual will save you hours
of time and frustration as you learn to use your keyboard. You'll successfully
operate the buttons, controls and hundreds of combinations to get the most sound,
functions, music and fun from the model you own after a couple of listenings.
T.O.M.s are educationally produced by a world-renown CASIO expert product
specialist using examples of the sounds from the specific CASIO keyboard models.
Instructions are paced to make learning to operate your keyboard step-by-step a
rewarding experience.
Listening to these spoken instructions is like having an expert teacher look over your
shoulder and explain how to get the most out of the exciting features designed into
your keyboard. Each cassette is produced for a specific model unless very similar
models are combined on one tape. Our simplified T.O.M. Product instructions are
thorough, easy to understand ... and very affordable!
Over 500,000 Talking Owner's Manuals cassettes and videos have been purchased
for use with CASIO products.

engagements.

AD-LIB Musician
In the CTK-500, the feature adjusts the entire keyboard so that any key you play
matches the auto- accompaniment or "Jukebox" song being played. The entire
keyboard consists of only correct notes!
Arpeggio
Has a series of preset 4-note arpeggios.
Auto-Accompaniment
System in which you can generate complete backgrounds with drums, bass, and
chord parts with the left hand, while you play melodies and solos with right hand.
3 different systems are available: Casio Chord, Fingered Chord, and Full Range Chord
(only on certain models).
Auto-Harmonize
Feature which adds chord notes of the auto-accompaniment to each note you play
in the melody with your right hand.
Break Beat
Manually activated (rather than automatic) patterns which can be stopped instantly
or retriggered anytime to create new or interesting patterns.
Casio Chord
Simplified auto-accompaniment system for the novice player. Ability to play chords
not required.
Chord Memory
Memorizes a background pattern for you to play over, consisting of a sequence of
left-hand auto-chord (Casio Chord or Fingered Chord).
Echo
A voice enhancing effect which provides a close echo of your voice as you sing. This

for poor singers.
Effects, Reverb or Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
Sound enhancement device that adds spacious, large room effect to sounds and
rhythms.
ELA
"Expert Logic Accompaniment" in the CTK-500, a new intelligent auto-accompaniment
system that makes real-time decisions about the chords being played, and
how they relate to each other. It creates a more musically logical and satisfying
background.
Fingered Chord
Auto-accompaniment system for the more advanced player; actual chord formations
are played and complete bass/chord/drum background pattern is generated.
Free Session
Automatic moving chord progression 4, 8, or 12 bars, so you have both hands free
for soloing.
Full-Range Chord
Auto-accompaniment system that allows either the triggering of chords or the playing
of the melody across the entire keyboard, depending on whether you play a
chord or single note melody.
General MIDI
International standard layout for keyboard tones and other parameters, which
ensures that all MIDI keyboards, modules and software from all manufacturers will be
functionally compatible, and offers somewhat greater ease of use. Some CASIO units
do not follow the General MIDI scheme, but are fully functional in most MIDI applications
nonetheless. Most of the larger Casios are of the General MIDI design.
Graphic Equalizer
Expanded tone control, often 3, 5 or 7 sections. Gives you more control over the
sound than a conventional bass/treble control.
Karaoke
Cassette machine with microphone for sing-along. The correct pronunciation is "kahdah-oh-kay."
In Japanese, it literally means "empty orchestra."
Layer
Allows you to stack two sounds together across the entire range of the keyboard, so
both will sound on each key.
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display, a screen which gives an informative and attractive readout of
