PX-5S recording in Cubase - no sound?

[arkob]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to record the PX-5s in Cubase.

The method I use works with my Yamaha MX-61 synth:

1. Create midi layer
2. Play (Record midi)
3. Edit sound, tones, whatever settings
4. Play midi on PX-5s and record in sound layer
5. Normalize sound layers and export as sound/music file.

Now on the PX-5s I tried the same. I loaded the patch list (see downloads section) in cubase, and am able to control the tones.

However, step 4 does not work. When I play the midi, it does play on the PX-5s, but it is not possible to make a sound recording of this.

 

Equipment:

PX-5S is updated to firmware v1.13 and connecteed via USB

Cubase LE AI elements (64 bits)

Windows 7 on PC with sufficient specs.

 

Do you have experience on recording sound via USB-host connection?

Hi and welcome to the Casio forums. The PX-5S does not send audio over USB.. You need to connect audio cables.

Thank you Scott, that explains a lot...

Direct record may be a useful feature for future products?

 

Anyway, I guess the best workaround would be to record midi, edit, play midi on PX-5s and record via USB-stick. If anyone has a better solution I'd be happy to hear it!

I have no idea what Casio has in mind for future products so I guess we just need to wait and see.   

As far as recording on your computer, there are inexpensive audio interface boxes that will take the audio from the PX-5S and transmit it via USB to your computer.
