casionewb Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi all Help for a newbie. Can anyone please give me some advice. I have a new wk7600 and I wish to play midifiles stored on an Sd card through the keyboard. I have worked out how to do this but was wondering is there any way you can mute a particular channel to stop the sound playing while still hearing the rest of the channels instruments? I have many midifiles and the lead voice seems to be on channel 4 so I wish to just mute the channel and play the lead myself. Any help greatly appreciated.

PAULD Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Gary; There is an online midi editor were you can edit all aspects of a midi file. Hope this helps, Paulhttp://solmire.com/midieditor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- T - Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Gary You can temporarily make the changes you want, in real-time, right on the keyboard, with the MIXER function. Select and load the MIDI file you want to play with the CARD function. Once the file is loaded, press the MIXER button. You will see the first MIXER page, which allows you to select the TONES (voices) assigned to each one of the 16 tracks. Press the DOWN ARROW ( V ) button once to go to the second MIXER page, which allows you to turn the PARTS (tracks) on or off or to adjust their volume levels. When you first come into this page, PART (on/off) is selected, as indicated by the large blue dot to the left of the word "Part" and the heavy blue brackets around the "on/off" data field. Note that Track 1 has a small blue triangle below the number "1", indicating that that track is selected. At this point, you will need to press the START/STOP button to begin play, so that you can tell which tracks have active data on them. Use the LEFT ( < ) and RIGHT ( > ) ARROW buttons to select the track(s) you want to change, and then use the NO ( - ) button to turn them off or the YES ( + ) button to turn them back on. If you want to change the volume level of a particular PART (track), press the DOWN ARROW ( V ) button again. Note that "Volume" is now selected, as indicated by the large blue dot to its left. Select the desired PART (track) with the LEFT/RIGHT ( < / > ) ARROW buttons, then use the DATA WHEEL to adjust the volume level. Once you have made your changes, you can stop and restart play from the beginning and play along with your changes. The drawback to this is that the CTK/WK MIDI file player does not have the ability to save changes to Standard MIDI Files (SMF) with a ".mid" file extension, and the SONG SEQUENCER can only load/edit/play Casio proprietary "song" files. So, you will need to keep a good set of notes on what changes were made to each file, so that you can quickly set them up again, prior to play, with the MIXER in the future. If you want to make permanent changes, you will need to load the files into a computer based sequencer (DAW), as mentioned above by Paul, and "save" your changes to the file in that manner. Best of luck ! Regards, Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
