yes indeed, short press. feel a bit dim now. you know, I must have made 30+ registrations over the past 3-4 years and somehow not realized I was short pressing. but thanks for your time, I can get on with the new registrations now.

hi Guys, not been here for a while but just got a huge problem, I wanted to set up a new registration (split keyboard strings and piano) (the band wants to do dancing queen,,,don't laugh) and I can't move the octaves up and down after I split the keyboard any ideas would be gratefully received.

hi folks, i always have trouble in this area, i can loose hours just layering trying to get the rought sound. right now i'm trying to get the chords at the begining of 'all i want for xmas' (not the jangley bells but the chords) how do you guys do this? do you have a systematic way of aproching it? any information would be appeciated thanx in advance.

thanx

hello fellow musicians. i wonder if anyone can help me, i've been going through the various volume controles on the digital pannel and i cant seem to figure out which operates the sounds from the audio in 3,5 MM jack. anyone know? i hook my laptop in there to practice along to MP3s with but even with it on full volume the laptop gets drowned out by the keyboard, so i want to check it's either on full or make the keyboard quieter. any ideeas would be gratfully received. thanx in advance steve.

sorry, just seen this now, not sure I totally understand what your saying, you appear a whole lot more clued up about the inner depths of this keyboard than I ever will be, but I have just about worked out how to use the patten sequencer, that would be handy for live play, (well I think it would but we have a drummer and if the sequencer was playing that would be the 'holy measure' rather than the drums) but the sound I need to pattern is a user tone ( a synth pulse with added delay effect), the pattern sequencer simply wont sequence user tones , only factory settings.

that works a treat, thanx!

WK7600, hi folks, not been here in a while but i joined a new band and they want to play save a prayer, i really need your help! so i have created a great synth tone with delay for the background and found a suitable mellow synth sound for the melody, this is what i'm trying to emulate so, for the melody i need to use the pitch bend wheel which effects the background too, i cant use the patten sequencer on user tones? is that right? or can i turn the pitch bend wheel off on one sound and not the other when i have the keyboard split? thanx in advance any help will be useful, it's the first time i've used the pattern sequencer, and the you tube vid is all about drums.

thanx for the reply it's posted here under 7600 because that's what I have. but I see your point perhaps I should have posted this elsewhere. so Bluetooth is radio waves? is the 1000 euro job also radio waves but has a better analog digital conversion rate?

ok, as the title suggests I doubt anyone will be able to help me with this, but i'd like to run it past you, just in case anyone has any ideas. WK7600. i'm in an 8 piece soul/disco band, it's hard to hear myself and the backing vocals , (mic through keyboard) clearly so I have earbuds running from the phones up to the mic stand and then over to my ears. it helps but all the cable are something of a drag. my local music shop quoted me EUR1000 for a wireless headset! I saw an American website that was touting a 3.5 MM jack Bluetooth transmitter! only 37 dollars! so I ordered it along with a Bluetooth earbudset and a 3.5mm to 6 mm jack adapter. thinking that Bluetooth would be fine, I mean the 1000 euro job has to transmit from the mixer, maybe 10 meters away, whereas from my keyboard phones outlet to my ears is only a meter. it all arrived today and the problem is latency, like almost a whole second, means it's useless!. I've probably wasted 100 euros but if any of you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. thanx!

if you can push your budget I would recommend the wk7600, those drawbar Hammond sounds are great! it's a 76 key, the ctk version is a 61 key, that would be cheaper. either way the same keyboard by Yamaha would cost loads more, the cheapest Yamaha with a Hammond sound is about 1300! casio isn't cool, but it's certainly value for money!

thanx for the help nico!

ok, I got a DI box recently (radial proD2 stereo DI box) so I can go through the multikable with the rest of the band, but it makes the keyboard sound so muffled like the speaker is wrapped in bedsheets, that I still position myself so I can drag the twin jack-jack leads all the way to the mixer. am I doing something wrong? next question is a long shot and i'm fully expecting the answer to be no. can I split the keyboard so the very top right key makes a hand-clap?

thanx silvano, I can order that for EUR 155 here in Holland, that wont break the bank too much, I think i'll go for it, along with some XLR cables i'll need now.

some sound guy who was operating the mixer last gig told me I had to get myself a 'DI box' "oh, ok" I said wondering what the buggery a DI box was! anyway a few you tube vids later I think I know what one is. any advice on which to get I think passive and not active for a keyboard. and presumably i'll need a stereo one? I usually use two jack-jack cables but this issue came up while we used a multicable for the first time and that was all XLR so the DI will also mean I will have XLR output from the unit and I wont have to buy all sorts of xlr-jack adapters. theres a lot of talk about ground loops in the vids and the DI box stopping those, but the WK7600 doesn't have an earth in the plug (central Europe) so it cant be relevant for my keyboard?
