sliverdave04 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Good morning everybody I am a truly satisfied owner of a Casio px5s. For the first time since I've bought it, now I would like to use its phrase recorder. My aim is to record a simple phrase with a pad sound, so that I can use it as a loop and starting an improvisation with another instrument (from another keyboard). Well, I saw one of the providential Mike Martin's clinic where Mike explained how to do that, in fact I think I understood the theory. My problem is, if I do the same with a wonderful pad (such as, let's say, "Rainy dayz"- a Stage setting with two zone active -the first is a pad, the second a simple base with arpeggio) the phrase recorder will rec only zone 1 (the pad part) leaving me without the arpeggio part, and I found no way to record zone 2. Is it possible to rec it concurrently with zone 1? If not, how can I overdubt it in a second moment? In a sentence, my problem is that I am able to use phrase recorder only with zone 1. Many thanks tho everyone who'll help me and sorry for my english if I did some mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The phrase recorder/player is a single track recorder. It only works through zone 1. Once saved, phrases can be played back in other zones via the arpeggiators. My suggestion, record your backing track to usb thumb drive as audio then play along with that.

sliverdave04 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Good afternoon BradMZ, thank you very much for your very precise and exhaustive answer. I'll give a try with in way you suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jekyll Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hi! As I was struggling myself on this one too, I used to set my PhraseToBe-Tone to Zone 1 and recorded it accordingly. As Drums go solely to Zone 1 this also makes sense in some way, as you usually want backing percussion to play along with. I like to record several phrases and mix them together in the Songsequencer which gives me more control on the arrangement. Here is a sample of Sting - Shape Of My Heart done in this way. It consists of five phrases recorded separately which were saved in Slots 108 to 112. 108:ShapeOfMyHt (Drums) 109: ShapeGuit1 110: ShapeGuit2 111: ShapeBass 112: ShapeBass2 Maybe it serves as a sample to do other stuff. Have fun! PS: Hum, I think I need to post another question on why the audiorecorder don't work properly with a Song played back like this. There is a glitch at the beginning of the WAV-file.
