I'm curious how people are using the wireless MIDI dongle on the CT 1000v. every time I record something, or want to store something, I need to remove the midi dongle to engage the thumb drive. maybe I'm doing this incorrectly but it seems weird to have to chose.... thanks in advance for any insights....

I've found ways to adjust some aspects of Tones, but I'm stumped by this: Is there a way to change the gate on the arpeggiator? from legato to staccato, etc? thanks in advance

No — I don’t use a computer. The midi master in my setup is a drum machine. MIDI info goes: out from drum machine to a midi junction box (1 input 4 outputs), one of those is wireless midi and that is paired w/ the Casio. Thanks Brad

not sure if this is a bug but it keeps happening -- something in the MIDI chain (either the Casio adaptor or the wireless midi transmitter) sends things out of a simple MIDI receive state after 4-5 minutes. I then have to reset the midi settings and this corrects it but only temporarily. any fix ideas? thanks

But can anyone explain this weirdness: I have local control on, and the Casio is following tempo from the drum machine. but after like 4-5 minutes, the rhythm stops and local control is off. only the drum machine is sending midi to the Casio, which is set to slave. not sure why this is happening.....thanks in advance....

found it......there's more midi under Settings, including Local Control and Master/Slave....

using the Bluetooth adaptor, and I'm just trying to have the CR-S 1000v be slave to a MIDI clock from a drum machine. it's getting the signal but I don't see a way to change the MIDI settings to allow the rhythm/arp tempo to follow the clock while also playing the keyboard. could not find this in the manual! thanks in advance for the help....

Gotta say, after just a day I'm really wowed by the sounds and the intuitive interface of this board. Bravo Casio. Stumped by something tho: is it possible to send a clock signal from a drum machine to the CT and have it follow clock? I've read the manual a couple of times now and it looks like the USB connections are all computer-dependent. I don't use a computer in my setup so I'm hoping to get the Casio to follow the tempo of lthe TR-8 drum machine. is this even possible with the right adapter? thanks in advance....

Thanks again Brad....understood. bought it anyway! very happy to play these keys and the sound engine is terrific.

Thanks Brad -- not talking editing notes, just swapping out one kit for another....the specs show a list of a few kits, and it seems logical to me that the user would be able to access those to change the vibe of the rhythm patterns. perhaps the patterns are hardlinked to different kits?

Just read through the manual before purchasing and I didn't see a way to change the drum kit for the various Rhythm patterns. is that not possible? thanks in advance....

Thank you Brad! That’s very helpful!!

Question for folks with the CT-S1000v or 500: how creative are the onboard arps? just reading the list of them, it's hard to tell how useful they are -- looks like there's a lot of variations on classic Up/Down and with 1 or 2 octave spreads, but not too many that open up poly rhythmic possibilities (ie, 3 over 4 etc). thanks in advance for any experiences....

I've been super-impressed with the video demonstrations and sounds of the CT-S1000v, and have learned a lot reading these threads. Tempted to buy even though I don't need another board. The other day in one of the threads, someone mentioned that the new Casio gets close to the Yamaha MX series budget synths. I haven't played the 1000v but used to own an MX and enjoyed it, and that thread got me thinking that Casio has an open lane in the market now for a product that might be described as "workstation lite." The soundset from the 1000/500 with an expanded arpeggio library, editable effects chains and either a more robust MIDI sequencer or a multi-tracking looper on board (or both!) would hit a sweet spot for folks who want to create music away from the computer. Yes, I know I'm a dreamer. But I might not be the only one...

One more question about the Midi Recorder: after recording multiple tracks in a linear fashion, is it possible to mark a specific section, like an 8 bar verse, and loop it? thanks again in advance
