Why is there static noise when I connect a microphone to my Casio CTK-491 Electronic Keyboard?
If you're getting static noise when using a microphone with your Casio Electronic Keyboard, it could be due to a couple of things. First, ensure you're using a full metal shielded Cannon type microphone, as recommended. Second, try moving the microphone away from any fluorescent lighting, as this can also cause static.
What to do if there is no microphone sound on my Casio CTK-491 Electronic Keyboard?
If you can't hear any sound from your microphone when using your Casio Electronic Keyboard, there are a couple of things to check: 1. Make sure the microphone volume isn't set too low. Increase it if necessary. 2. Verify that the microphone's on/off switch is set to the 'ON' position.
How to fix unnatural sound when playing Casio CTK-491 connected to a computer?
If playing on the keyboard produces an unnatural sound when connected to a computer, it might be because the computer’s MIDI THRU function is turned on. Try turning off the MIDI THRU function on the computer or turn off LOCAL CONTROL on the keyboard.
Why bass notes are too low when playing General MIDI data on Casio CTK-491?
If the bass notes of General MIDI data played back by a computer sound one octave too low on your Casio Electronic Keyboard, the TONE MAP parameter is likely set to 'N'. Change the TONE MAP parameter to 'G' to correct this.
