For me, it was enough to have an SF2 to ZTN converter. This would make it easier as there are tons of more practical SF2 editors on the internet. I'm glad you bought Translator and gave your opinion, even if it wasn't very positive.

DSP priorities. The MZ-X's DSP is an Insert. Choose sounds that don't have DSP in the instrument table. This is not a bug It's a Limitation

My friend, the CT-X is a good keyboard but we cannot put it on the same level as, for example, an MZ-X or PX-560. The CT-X has a very good sound engine combined with a good DSP system. When you get tired of the CT-X sound, the PX-560 will still have resources for you to continue editing and creating new Sounds due to its great Synthesis capacity. Hexalayer, ADSR, polyphony are some of the PX that gain in quality. Not even the new PX have as many features as the PX-560 and PX-5S. The new ones are very good in terms of sound quality with the new sound engines.

-BREAK- on the MZ-X it only adds a measure without sound and it is not possible to create a variation with this button. I have the CTX and the MZ-X but the MZ-X is much superior to the CT-X in terms of editing Rhythms , It has a Drawbar, Hexalayer and you can even add Sampled Sounds. The MZ-X was built to be the Top of the Line arranger by Casio while the CT-X is a MID LEVEL

The PX 560 is another segment. It is a STAGE piano with arranger and synthesizer features. The PX has heavy keys which for a Pianist is the perfect instrument. The CTX is a new line of arrangers from Casio but it does not have all the sound editing features that the PX has. What's new about the CTX is its new AIX sound engine, but we can't compare the PX's pianos to the CTX's. As excellent as the CTX pianos are, the PX is already a superior piece of equipment in terms of playability.

You are wrong. The fact that I want to put a tone on the Drum track is because I want it to be unaffected by the chord change. The Bass 220 on the CT-X has the Last Octave Slide effects. If you put, for example, one of these Slides on channel 3 Bass when changing the chord, the effect will not play because the different chord will change the position of the notes. Now if it can be placed in the percussion channel the Slide effect will remain active. In MZX I created drum kits with Slides Bass effects in the last octaves. On Yamaha keyboards you can put Slide bass on any channel because Yamaha has a NO CHORD function where you choose which Main or Fill the function is placed on.

The Casio Keyboards I've had do not have this sound. On the Yamaha Tyros (also on the S900) this sound is magically far superior to any adaptation and editing that is done on the Casio. The ADSR on the Yamaha Start with a single wave and end with a small modulation. And when using Bend we have a very convincing sound. Casio has wisely added a Nylon guitar with Bend to the CT-X Line, as the MZX Line does not have this sound from the factory and it is necessary to sample an external sound. As for the name, I think ALOHA GUITAR. The important thing is that the proposed sound is close to the intended sound.

The proper name is Pedal Steel. This sound doesn't even have on the MZX. I had to Sample a Tone from Tyros 2. But in this case, to get closer just editing a Jazz guitar.

Hello. Why doesn't Casio release update 1.09 for old CT-X's? Has there been a change in hardware? Another detail is that Casio could release some functions in editing Styles such as being able to put Melodic Tones on Drum tracks. An example is the Bass 220 (VSTE.Bs1) where it would be possible to use a Slide effect from the Octaves above on one of channels 9 or 10. The Bass working on these Channels does not change chord changes, keeping the Slide Effect where we could use it in Fills or Intros.

I don't know which country you are from, the name seems Brazilian. Here in Brazil, in addition to the Casio website having regional rhythms, there are also programmers who sell Rhythm packages at good prices. I am one of these Programmers. For those who don't have time or don't know how to program, buying Rhythms packages is an excellent option. https://www.casioteclados.com.br/ritmos/

I'm sure that was it. Now to save ZAL without samples the keyboard works correctly. It is common for the MZ-X to corrupt SAMPLED TONES files in memory.

The guy who created the topic has doubts about Backup ZAL and in this part MZX has a bug when saving Sampled ZTN. Please put a list of these non-Samples Bugs here. (This helps the community a lot even if Casio doesn't fix it) Just leave a detail that Bugs and Improvements are two different things. As for improvements, I have a list and as for Bugs, the most serious are regarding the use of Samples.

The Critical BUGS in MZ-X are very much related to the Samples (ZTN with Waves) that are installed. There are many ways to practically end these problems by following a few rules. And these rules require auditing installed Tones and always Save ZTN separately.

Welcome to another Casio MZ-X BUG. Always save all sorts of categories including independent sounds. Mistakes like this are mainly when sampled sounds are involved.

This is the biggest complaint I have about the MZ-X. AC7 File does not work correctly in Midi pattern. A Yamaha Rhythm that has arrangements in major and minor chords you see in the DAW the first Midis channels being used 1-8 for minor and seventh arrangements. MZX does not support this import function, but interestingly, Internal Rhythms has these arrangements. Another detail is the confusing Chord Table in the Style edition. The MZ-X does not support chord deletion. (When you don't want an accompaniment instrument to play a certain chord like Minor, Seventh or Major)

Clorando se fue? (CHORANDO SE FOI) Is a Rhytm lambada In the same way that I try to understand what you write, some people do not understand what I write. I also ask that you make an effort or ignore them. Many friends here on the Forum helped me explain it to some of the native speakers who never made the effort to try to understand. The most important thing is the experiences especially when it comes to solving problems and bugs. It's been a while since I've responded to your quotes and I'm waiting for someone from the forum's native language to respond.

ZAL files delete what you have on your MZ-X. Before installing these files you should read the Manual and search here on the Forum about such a risk. what is junk for you for others it is a necessity. But at least now you learn the hard way not to install a ZAL file without BACKUP first

Your approach was very good. I've always mentioned that the MZ-X is not and never will be a ready-made keyboard. As for its sound engine, yes, it is outdated compared to the CT-X. I have a CT-X and some sounds show the evolution of AIX even with reservations. Perhaps one day an MZ-X with an Aix version 2.0 combined with the superior sound card of the MZ-X will be able to contemplate good results. Yamaha had a great evolution in these aspects even not changing its AWM sound engine so much But its base of programmers and users is the largest of all brands and as a programmer, Yamaha was very successful in putting encryption on intermediate and advanced models, guaranteed and encouraging investment from independent programmers. Casio put away top programmers on the MZ-X Line because of this. Casio has also improved the AC7 file by giving third parties freedom to access its core file system for standard Midi CCs. It's absurd to listen to a Casio rhythm that has 2 different Intros in major and minor chords and when you edit all this resource disappears in the Daw. Here in Brazil, the Yamaha PSR Sx600 is already getting interesting prices, something that was unfeasible at its launch. It's up to Casio not to give up on the professional market and follow its path. The reward will come to the one who doesn't give up.

In my country there is a famous phrase that is: customer advertising is what matters most. And yes I'm not a mass buyer but I've owned a few Casio's here's the list: CASIO KEYBOARDS CA100 (with Michael Jackson sheet booklet) WK7600 MZ-X300 MZ-X500 CT-S3000 From other brands I have had and have Yamaha PSR 620 Yamaha PSR 730 Yamaha PSS 51 Yamaha DX100 Roland-E16 Roland E-50 (I still have it) And I've even worked with other keyboards in the bands Ketron MS50 (Solton) KETRON MS100 KETRON AUDYA YAMAHA PSR-3000 YAMAHA PSR s770 Yamaha P45 Korg X5D YAMAHA V50 (Spent days sequencing a song on this keyboard) I think I've done my small part in purchasing these keyboards. Today I have a You Tube channel with more than 2,000 subscribers and the Videos are only based on the Casio Brand (CTX,CTK and MZX) I just found the fact that you mentioned the Sellers who say that Casio Pianos are Toys, I found it kind of offensive because they are not. And I still have a desire to have the PX 560 because there is no competition with a piano with so many features at the same price.

Every company that enters a market takes great risks. If that were the case, Yamaha would not have achieved its place in the sun. I remember a time when Yamaha keyboards from the PSR line were humiliated by competitors like Korg Roland and Technics. Yamaha's only legendary keyboard at the time was the DX7, but the fame of the XP80 was much greater. The MZ-X line is not bad and I do not consider Casio Toy Pianos because here in my region there is no competitor in terms of prices compared to Casio and yes they offer good instruments. Of course, Brazil won't make a difference in financial closures and other countries like India? It is very comfortable to speak ill of a brand where the cost is well below other countries in comparison. Here in Brazil, Casio is the one that practices the greatest consistency in prices compared to other countries. And if you look alongside other more famous brands, we only see toy keyboards coming out too. Here Roland and Korg are offering entry level keyboards with less features than the CT-X at midi level prices. Just ask that I quote the toy models and the prices practiced here.

"Also, it's mostly the dinosaurs that are buying expensive and large synth rigs with multi-functionality. Most young people aren't into that (and can't afford it) - and they are the ones that will be driving sales. The dinosaurs are familiar with the names that have been around forever and regardless of innovation, still regard CASIOs as those toy tiny keyboards from yesteryear. " I disagree because young people also evolve and when they think that CTK is no longer available, they already want a CT-X. The Brand has to make an effort to KEEP THE CUSTOMERS. I have countless cases of friends who have a CT-X / CTK and dream of a Casio MZ-X. The same can be said for Pianos and Synthesizers.

Nope! Casio is concerned with Slim Pianos and Casiotones.

Casio is most focused on with the Casiotone line. CT-X ,MZ-X, CTK, WK lines have been abandoned.
