  1. Recently, @Chandler Holloway uploaded an archive with all the original, non-edited rhythms of the CT-X3000. Today, just for fun, I decided to upload some of these rhythms to the CT-X800. I thought that they would not sound good at all or at least, that they would behave stangely, since the mapping of voices is different. Well, the result is interesting, to say the least. Actually these CT-X3000 rhythms sound perfectly fine on the CT-X800 - they don’t need any conversion at all. I thus decided to make a little experiment. I choose a rhythm which is present BOTH on the CT-X3000 and the CT-X800, DancePop (rhythm no 34 on the CT-X800). I pressed the « rhythm » button to get the default settings which go together with this rhythm (tempo at 122). I then stored all the settings in Slot 1 of Memory Bank 8. I copied these settings a second time in Slot 2 of the same bank. The following thing I did was uploading the CT-X3000 version of DancePop (labelled Dance Pop X3000 in Chandler’s archive) to one of the 10 user rhythm slots of the CT-X800 and I selected that rhythm and stored it in slot no 2 of bank 8. I then played successively both versions of the rhythm at the same tempo. I started with slot 1 and played Intro, Variation 1, fill 1, Variation 2, fill 2, Variation 2, ending. I then switched to slot 2 and did the same thing. Both versions of the rhythm sounded exactly the same, excepted that variation 2 and fill 2 were a bit different in both versions. Actually, when the rhythm controller is set to variation 1, switching from slot 1 to slot 2 and back, both rhythms are sounding totally identical. I then repeated this process with a few other rhythms, (e.g. DiscoPop, no 36 on the CT-X800, DiscoPop X3000 in Chandler’s archive) which are present both on the CT-X3000 and the CT-X800. Each time, I got the same result: when played at the same tempo, the intro, ending, variation 1 and fill 1 sounded exactly the same in both versions of the rhythm, but fill 2 and variation 2 were somewhat different (the second variation of the CT-X800 seems to be more complex than the second variation of the CT-X3000 version of the rhythm). Now, what does this mean??? 1) Most probably, ALL rhythms from the CT-X3000/5000 are fully readable by the CT-X700/800 without any tweaking. This will probably also be true for all user-programmed rhythms, such as the BradShuffle rhythm programmed for themCT-X5000 by @Brad Saucier, which my CT-X800 could read without further ado. 2) Variation 2 on the CT-X700/800 is probably variation 4 on the CT-X3000/5000. It means that all CT-X700/800 owners now have access to three fills and three variations of the 4-variations, 4-fills CT-X3000/5000 rhythms: variation 1 and fill 1, which are the same on all four keyboards ; variation 2 and fill 2 of the CT-X3000/5000 version of the rhythm ; and variation 4 and Fill 4 of the CT-X3000/5000 version, which are actually variation 2 and fill 2 on the CT-X700/800. Are you still following me, guys?... 3) Thus, the only missing rhythm parts are variation 3 and Fill 3 of the CT-X3000 version. If someone were willing to save all the CT-X3000/5000 rhythms after having swapped variations and fills 1 and 2 with variations and fills 3 and 4, CT-X700/800 users would actually have access to all four variations and fills of all the CT-X rhythms! They would only have to store one permutation in one register memory slot, and the other permutation in an adjacent slot, and they could use all parts of the rhythm instead of being limited to one intro, two variations, two fills, one ending. 4) I cannot try this out because I do not own this keyboard, but I strongly suspect that all the aforementioned will also be applicable to the CDP-S350 as a bonus! This is be great because this would effectively mean that this cheap 88 arranger piano would actually have access to 4-variation rhythms I stead of 2-variation rhytms now. 5) I am strongly suspecting that the AiX chip found in all four keyboards (and the CDP-S350) is actually the one and same chip, it is only the UI of each keyboard and the control panel which is different. Someone having both keyboard at home could test this even further: playing some CT-X3000/5000 rhythms on the bigger keyboard, then on the smaller keyboard, to listen whether there are any differences. If the rhythms sound perfectly similar on both the CT-X3000/5000 and the CT-X700/800, it means that both chips are exactly the same! Further, this would also mean that the sound set is the same on both keyboards, but that on the CT-X700/800, some of the sounds are not accessible from the control panel. Or else, it would mean that for maximal compatibility, the rhythms on both keyboards are using the smaller sound set, that of the CT-X700/800. Or, last possibility, that when a rhythm uses a sound which is not present on the CT-X700/800, this keyboard is programmed to replace the missing sound by the nearest sound instead. This would seem fairly logical: in this fashion, when a programmer at Casio is producing a new rhythm for the CT-X series of keyboards, she/he would need to program it once and it would be perfectly usable for all 4 keyboards without any conversion needed. So convenient, so simple. So guys what are you thinking of all this? Has anybody made further experiments in this matter? And what about the localised versions (Indian, Chinese, ...j of these keyboards? I am really curious to know. Regards.
  2. Hello all, I have a very old Casio CTK 611 with midi outputs. I have a midi cable to USB. When I plug it in the midi cable lights up, and my Win 10 computer does indicate that a USB2.0 midi device is connected, and my music program (Sibelius 7.5) sees that device, but I can not get Sibelius to receive midi input from my keyboard (the test fails). I am assuming that my keyboard is way too old to work with Win 10 and there probably are not any compatible drivers. I just want to be sure before I sink money in a replacement keyboard. The midi cable that I have is a Sanoxy USB MIDI Cable Converter and has a dual in/out 5-pin DIN and a USB on the other end. I have searched the internet for possible answers, and have not had success. Any ideas?
