  1. Oh those darn cats love piano keys!
  2. USB on the CT-S1 is a "to host" port. This means it can't connect directly to another USB device that requires a host itself. A typical USB to MIDI cable requires a host. A host can be a computer, mobile tablet or phone, or a USB MIDI host box. USB MIDI host box is probably the easiest solution.
  3. Unfortunately chord mode only works with auto accompaniment. Welcome to the forums. For future reference, it's better to make the title of your topic reflect the question you are asking rather than your name. To do that, you can edit your post.
  4. MZX can do it, you just need to rip the CD tracks as a WAV files and use an editor to prepare the samples, trim them, and set any loop point markers that's needed. Wavosaur is a good editor for embedding loop points, otherwise Audacity can work if loops are not needed. MZX sample manager can import the wave files and allow you to map them to key ranges, velocity ranges, and much more.
  5. It's not possible to save a single recording as both types. Two different recordings must be made.
  6. On the CT-X3000, press Song Bank and select the song to edit. Long press the function button to enter song editing mode. Long press the Part Mixer button to enter the mixer. Make any changes to the parts you want to adjust and press exit. System track uses the "song system" mixer parts. Solo tracks use the "Song Solo" mixer parts.
  7. There are ways to do it. A user rhythm can be created with a silent variation pattern. That can be used to insert a rest or break of the length desired if needed. It's also possible to save and recall various rhythms with the registrations during recording to the system track. Combined, these methods can be used to construct nearly any sequence of rhythms, breaks and such in real time recording using the rhythm controller buttons and registration buttons during recording.
  8. Audio recordings automatically record direct to USB flash drive. MIDI recordings record directly to keyboard internal memory. To export a MIDI recording to the flash drive, you'll need to use the media save function. Two file formats are available. SMF type is a standard MIDI file. Casio MRF format is the other type, only compatible with the keyboard itself. You'll find a detailed procedure in the user manual for saving MIDI recordings to USB. If you get stuck, feel free to ask more questions.
  9. Most any Casio keyboard in the last 20 years or so with a multi track recorder like this has what's called a system track. The system track is designed to record rhythms, upper and lower tones, and other features that's normally played live on the keyboard. If a model has a feature called "easy record" like the WK-6600, that will automatically select the system track for recording. Other tracks in the recorder are known as solo instrument tracks, used when you want to select a single instrument tone and record with it. On the 6600, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the different track types for recording.
  10. Both models have an arpeggiator part selection menu. It allows the arpeggiator to use upper 1, upper 2, lower, or both upper 1 and upper 2 together.
  11. Interesting ideas. I may be adding the paper rolls somewhere too. Similar to Chas, I was once using a hanging organizer inside a closet door, the type with about 20 clear plastic pockets on it to hold shoes. Now I keep my cables in a bunch of zipper seal type bags in a drawer. Realizing how expensive and hard to replace some cables can be, I figured I better waterproof them in event of a flood (which unfortunately can happen where I live). The added bonus with clear zipper bags is they don't get tangled and it is easy to see what's in them. I use the bags for all sorts of other things too.
  12. Stage settings carry along with them any edited tones, effects, and even user arpeggio patterns, but phrases are the one thing that needs to be separately moved over.
  13. Yes, turn off local control. It's the lowest F# key.
  14. You'll need to separately transfer phrases from one PX-5S to the other, preferably in the same user phrase number location.
