Music Data Management Software


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am new to the Forum and already happy to be a part of it.

 

I have a Privia, Px 575R and have been trying to add some new tones and rhythms online to the keyboard.  I am using Music data management software and tried to download some packages and tones from Casio music site.  I have no idea what to do after the download and the file type is ckf. and no idea about that either.  Can someone please help me out with this issue on what is the best way to do it. This is all new to me and I just want to add some packages and new sounds to my keyboard. Thanks !

Ok.  I'll try to get you going.   The checklist.....  

 

You have the IDES software made for your model?  http://music.casio.com/e/data_ex4/

 

You have the proper usb driver installed for your operating system and keyboard model and the keyboard is connected?  http://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=20

 

You have the manual to describe the steps needed?  http://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/008/PX410R_EN.pdf#page=79

Hi Brad. thanks for the Reply!    

ok...

Ides software                   Check

Proper Usb driver            Check

I have the Manual            Check

 

I have connected the keyboard to the computer and the software reads the keyboard as connected, so I am sure we are on the right track.

They have a manual for the software too.  It opens in a web browser.  That might help.

In general, the downloaded sounds you have should go into a folder that the program uses.  The Music Data Manager preferences directory (under "file") should show that folder name and location.  I think the software creates the folder for you when it installs. 

 

To install your sounds, choose the category type from the drop down menu.  Click and drag the files.  Your computer files will be in the left pane and the keyboard memory will be on the right.

i have a few posts here somewhere about the PX575 I purchased just a few months ago. Might be some stuff you might find helpful. Not about the IDES software, you seem to have that under control. More about the sequence recording and a few other things I discovered.  And even though I have the PX350 which is another wonderful keyboard, I love the PX575. It is similar to the WK3300 as far as functions, rhythms and tones. I have managed to record a few simple multi-track arrangements with it and it sounds real nice. And thanks BradMZ for posting the links.

Man, I am glad I stumbled upon this information regarding the Music Data Management Software.  I also have a Privia PX-575R and want to maximize my use of other tools in addition to my PreSonus Studio One software.  Printing this forum string now.

 

Thanks again!

Just a quickie, Is the 

PX410R purchased in Thailand the same board as the PX575 in other countries?

I have similar issues as the above. Thanks in advance
