Creating A User Tone - Casio WK-1600 User Manual

NOTES
• When the keyboard is shipped from the factory, the user area (tones
200 to 231) contain the same tones as tones 128 through 159.
• You cannot use a drum set tone (192 to 199) as the basis of a user tone.
• Whenever you save a tone and assign it one of the tone numbers in the
user area, any tone data previously assigned to that number is replaced
with the new data.
• The keyboard comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies power
to the memory to retain memory contents while keyboard power is turned
off. See "Lithium Battery Precautions" on page E-4 for important infor-
mation about the lithium battery.
• You can use the keyboard's MIDI capabilities to save your original tones
to a computer or other external storage device. See "Bulk Sending Key-
board Data" on page E-65 for details.
• With the WK-1800, you can use the built-in disk drive to save original
tones to diskette. See "Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only)" on
page E-67 for details.
