Hi all ' I am trying to use a yamaha Tyros 5 as a rack style arranger and midi into my Casio 560 and play this way to have a Casio 88 awesome feel . Why when I use the Casio as a controller to play all of the Tyros 5 arranger sounds ....why does the piano sounds of the Tyros sound very cheap and tinty running thru to my Casio keyboard ? It all works great except the horrible piano sound of the Yamaha which is terrible. What I want to do also is mix the Casio and the Yamaha together to get much fatter sounds and more polyphony .I had other keyboards do the same thing .And even when I turned the local off on the Casio it still is terrible . When I play the Yamaha by itself ....it does not sound bad , only when I run it thru to the Casio....it sucks .

I would love if you all can add some smooth jazz styles to the px 560 then you would rule above Yamaha and Roland styles. I paid for and downloaded some professional GM-SMF smooth jazz midi files from some jazz sites but they will not play correctly in the PX 560 but play perfectly on my Kawai MP7 and my Yamaha and my Roland F08 w/o any adjustment to the machines where as I must make internal changes on my PX 560 . I just thought by now the new Casio px 560 would have been more user friendly with the SMF files like the other competition. Should be good ole plug and play . Very disappointing for sure .Do you think the SMF converter on the Casio download will fix this ? It does not mention the px 560 usability with the SMF converter on the Casio site .. the sounds are wacked out...I set the keyboard to GM and it still sounds nutty .Is there a way to set the GM up the right way to play the files and be done with it ? The manual is very vague . Please forgive me as I have posted this on the facebook site but still not working. I also did a reset to no avail. Sheesh !
