PriviaMan Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi everyone, I thought I might share this great news, I bought imidipatchbay ipad/iphone app, to try layering more zones with my px-560, and it works, With one master sound and extra 4 more sounds total of 5 sounds / layers with splits and full controls of all other parameters on each sound. You can connect your ipad or iphone direct to px-560 through camera kit adapter, it works and you can save your settings on your ipad/iphone for instant re-call Knowing this fact and with imidipatchbay app, makes px-560 capable of doing 5 zones and makes px-560 more powerful than px-5s, but if you need master controller then px-5s the way to go. Check it out http://www.imidipatchbay.com/ Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kybdsammer Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks for sharing about imidipatchbay. Regarding the camera kit adapter, did you use the Apple lightning to USB cable MD821ZM/A or do you need to use the power-capable lightning to USB 3 cable MK0W2AM? Thanks.

Michel G. Breitfellner Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I bought imidipatchbay and managed to play the master through imidipatchbay but did not manage to send 3 different sounds to 3 different zones. Anybody can tell me how to configure imidipatchbay and the px560, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 This is what I figured out a few months ago that worked for me. Hopefully it helps. It may be more than you needed While it took a while to figure out, it really works well. And we don't really need to use the casio controls or registration memory anymore during a performance. iMidiPatchBay allows the PX560 to have 3 zones ( two split points ) and has the ability to octave shift the tones in those zones, so they play in the appropriate range. Assigning channels to zones on iMIDIPatchbay is done by holding the "ON" button on the channel. It will cycle through the possible combinations. On the PX-560 Midi Settings screen Local Control - Off Midi In Port - A On iMIDIPatchbay - This sets up the default sounds For example Grand Piano, Stereo Strings, Acoustic Bass, Synth strings Master 1 - Device Casio USB-MIDI Channel 1 Send program change on load - Yes Program 0 Bank MSB 2 Bank LSB OFF Extern 1 - Device Casio USB-MIDI Channel 2 Send program change on load - Yes Program 49 Bank MSB 2 Bank LSB OFF Extern 2 - Device Casio USB-MIDI Channel 3 Send program change on load - Yes Program 32 Bank MSB 2 Bank LSB OFF Extern 3 - Device Casio USB-MIDI Channel 4 Send program change on load - Yes Program 50 Bank MSB 2 Bank LSB OFF I use this as starting point and then modify for each individual song. From this I can easily select different tones, turn on/off channels, change number of splits, assign tone to split , etc. In my setup I was already using OnSong for my song catalog/ set list. So I now use OnSong to send events to iMIDIPatchbay to select the song configuration. Then as you scroll through each song in the set, OnSong sends the event to select the song configuration in iMIDIPatchbay. Tip: I name each iMIDIPatchBay song configuration numerically for program selection and to keep them in order. Never remove an entry, keep at least the number as a placeholder. For example - 000 Default Configuration 001 Don't Do me Like that 002 Hold the line 003 Piece of my heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybdsammer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 KevinM, Thanks a lot for posting. It took me a while to figure things out too and your comments were very helpful. I didn't realize at first that there is an Appendix list of sounds that came with the PX-560 (it is also downloadable on the Casio support website). With that list and the MSB and program numbers, you can choose any of the sounds. And with the ease of saving setups and naming them, iMIDIPatchbay is great for quick performance changes. On a side note, when I first started the app, I got a message saying it would not support the next iOS. I was concerned because I also read this online somewhere in another forum, so I contacted them and was told they will update the app before iOS 11 comes out. If that holds true, then this is also great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide any pointers on how to set that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 This is what I have and is working. Hope it helps. ----- iMidipatch Bay with OnSong running Global Setup Receive program Changes - enabled Device OnSong Channel 1 Also I have - (This maybe the required part) receive Program Channels on Virtual Port - enabled Channel 1 -------- In OnSong with iMidiPatchBay running OnSong Settings Midi - Enabled Destination - Select iMidiPatchBay (Virtual Connection) Virtual MIDI - Enabled Display - Program Changes enabled Add Midi Event to Song Title(Hold Title until Menu appears) Add event Program Type Channel 1 Program 6 (This for the 7th song configured in iMidiPatchBay, starting at 0 So the name I have for this in iMidiPatchBay is for example "006 Love Hurts" Bank MSB - None Bank LSB - None As I mentioned before the "Program" selected is based on position in iMidiPatchBay list. I just put the number in the name for ease of reference and to make sure they are kept in order. ------ fyi - in iMidiPatchBay, I have all of the songs channels to "send Program Change on Load" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
