Player's Manual
Main Features
Congratulations on your purchase of the Casio DH-100
Digital Horn. Your new DH-100 is a whole new type of
musical instrument which can be enjoyed by virtually
anyone, anytime and anywhere. To obtain optimum per-
formance and ensure long-term reliability, be sure to read
this manual carefully before playing your new Digital
Horn.
Preset Reed/Brass Tones
The DH-100 lets you choose from any of 6 ultra-realistic horn
sounds, including saxophone, trumpet, synth-reed, oboe,
clarinet and flute.
High-quality Built-in Speaker
With a high-quality speaker built right into the DH-100 and
battery power, you’re free to perform or practice virtually
anywhere! Pack it along for portable music fun, or make use
of the AD-1 AC adaptor and save on batteries.
Portamento Effect
Add even greater realism to your sound with the built-in
portamento effect. This creates a “gliding” effect, for natural,
“horn-like” transition between notes.
2-Octave Key Transpose
A built-in key transpose function lets you raise or lower the
performance key for even greater sound variation. For ex-
ample, choose a higher octave for soprano sax, then just
move the octave down for baritone sax sound.
Breath Modes and Two-way Fingering
Unlike a normal wind instrument, the DH-100 lets you
choose whether or not you want to "blow" to perform. Turn
the breath mode ON and you blow just like a normal horn,
but turn it OFF and sounds can be produced just by fingering
the note keys! What’s more, there’s two different fingering
patterns - one’s the same as a recorder and the other is a
unique Casio original.
MIDI Output
The DH-1000 is equipped with MIDI - the Musical Instru-
ment Digital Interface, that gives you DH-100 control of
other MIDI instruments or sound sources. For example,
connect the DH-100 to a Casio digital synthesizer and virtu-
ally limitless digital sounds are at your control.
