Excellent and appreciate the considerable work that went into this 👍. Kudos for clean playing with man hands on small keys 😁.

Yes, all the audio was multi-tracked into Audacity, a track at a time. I also used the cut/ edit tools in Audacity to break up the drum pattern so that each drum part (kick, snare, toms etc.) had its own track. This allowed me to turn on and off the individual drum sounds to add more variation to the drum pattern throughout the song. I also used some of the basic effects in Audacity to add things like reverb, delay, auto pan and chorus into the mix. I wanted to see how far I could take the mix using a free and somewhat basic audio "DAW", which isn't really what Audacity is meant to be used as. That's not to put Audacity down as it's an excellent, free and open source audio editor that can do a heck of a lot. It was an interesting challenge, though it would have so much quicker and easier to do it with a full on DAW. But as mentioned, the challenge was to see what I could come up with using a $20 used Casio keyboard and a free audio editor - I feel it came out quite good! As for the video, it's all playback. I set the camera up at various angles, played the finished track out loud through my studio monitors, then mimed along with the audio I could hear. I did ensure that I was playing the correct notes and also that I selected the same Tone that I was appearing on the SA-76's display as the sound you could hear. This meant that the camera recorded the video and also the actual audio of the song that would be used to align the different video takes with a master audio track. Then I imported all the video clips into my video editor, added the full finished master copy of the song as a master track, and matched up the individual video tracks using the audio they recorded to align with the master audio track. Then I made cuts and used some creative effects to make the video more interesting. It's actually quite a basic technique, though it is also quite time consuming!

I was 8, Year was 1992. In a remote village in Central India, where my father was a missionary. We had this keyboard PT-82 Red which we used for family prayers. So many memories.... Thank you to the contributors of this thread.

As Brad points out, amp type selection is only one parameter of the Amp Cabinet effect, which is only one possible module in a DSP chain containing up to 4 effects. But to create a tone in which you can select a particular amp, you first have to select (as part of the tone editing process) a DSP (which is not necessarily the same as Tone) that actually includes Amp Cabinet as one of its effects modules. In the Appendix document, the DSP section lists DSPs 801 through 900, and the effects modules contained in each. So you could easily find a DSP in that list which contains Amp Cabinet, and apply it to your edited Tone. Unfortunately, the appendix does not list the additional set of DSPs that are associated with built-in tones. However, a while back I created a complete list of all available DSPs (those included in built-in Tones, in addition to those in the 801-900 range). The document shows each DSP, and which specific effects modules it contains, and in which order in the effect chain. I'll include the link to the forum thread below. Not to add to the confusion, but there is also the Distortion effect module, which does contain a parameter to select between a much smaller set of amp types. But the core purpose of that effect is to add the guitar distortion sound, with the amp type being just a parameter to tweak that effect. But if what you are really looking for a Distortion guitar, you might want to choose a DSP with that effect instead of the Amp Cabinet. I don't believe there are any DSPs available which contain both Distortion and Amp Cabinet effects modules, so that's an either/or decision. So again, to experiment with Amp Cabinet sounds, you need to start with the desired Tone (most likely some Clean Guitar tone, but you can actually do this with any tone, and it doesn't really matter whether it already has a built-in DSP or not), then use the Edit button to start editing the Tone, and scroll right/left to find the DSP settings. Choose a DSP/Tone (1-900) that contains the Amp Cabinet effect, then find that specific module in the chain, and go in and change the Type (cabinet type) parameter to the desired cabinet. If you can't tell what cabinet it is from the abbreviations in the manual, refer to the document link I posted earlier which expands on all the cabinet names. As you change the cabinet Type parameter, you can play the sound on the keyboard to hear what each one sounds like. Just remember, any defined DSP can be applied to any Tone, although the chain of 1 to 4 special effects modules in each DSP definition is fixed. However, as part of Tone editing, you can select the DSP you want to apply, and change any of the parameters within those effects modules (like Amp Cabinet Type). Yes, it's a bit involved, but once you figure out how to change/edit DSPs, it becomes much easier. Here's the link to the forum thread containing the full list of DSPs available, along with their effects chains:

The update allows MIDI input to access Port A, Parts 1 through 5, previously not accessible. Port A is keyboard performance parts, such as upper and lower tones. Port A is necessary to use DSP tones (and lyric tones on the 1000V). DSP tones can be selected as upper or lower tones. The MIDI Port setting only changes input routing of channels 1 through 5. Port C is still used for MIDI channels 6 through 16.

is this 16 channel multitimbrality also the case when changing the midi input mode to the following (I've read this elsewhere on this forum): In other words, use the Active DSP for some channels, but still use the other channels (total sum = 16 channels) as well?

Yes, once you save your accomp volume setting in a registration, it can be recalled at any time. To use your custom accomp volume for ALL rhythms, simply select your stored registration and choose any rhythm. If you have other registrations stored with different accomp volume levels, you will need to update each registration with your desired setting. Keep in mind you can use any registration as a template to create other new registrations by simply selecting a registration, updating any settings you want to change, then storing it in another location.

A preset DSP effect can contain up to 4 modules. This forms an effects chain. Each module is a specific effect algorithm. For example "phaser + EQ". You can edit any preset tone and select any DSP effect chain from any other preset tone and save that as a new user tone. What you can't do is mix and match "modules" from different DSP effects chains. If you found the amp sim you like in a chain, you can use that chain for any tone and save it as a user tone.

So, if I am using one of the preset rhythms with my desired Tone selection which has been saved to: (example) Bank6 Number 4, and I decide Rhythm is too loud. I make the above suggested change. Save the new volume settings to Bank6 Number4. Now can it be recalled after "Save" is done even if Auto Resume is turned off by bringing Bank6 Number 4 back up? What if I desire to lower volume of ALL preset rhythms and accompaniments to a new default setting?

All answers have been very helpful and the information I got was great I don't think what I am trying to do is possible. Thanks again to everyone who has helped. Chris. 😄

Do you post your work someplace?

Drums, Bass, Chords and Melody - four parts in a little quartet. 😊 Bass is Casio ct-370 Chords are Casio ct-370 Melody is Casio mt400v Jay 🎹

Hi first of all thank you to every one that has helped with lots of info, i found the amp i was looking for on 830 dsp list it dose not tell you what amp it is you have to go on the dsp list to find out. I setup guitar 128 in the user tone and then went to 830 dsp witch has the ac 15 top boost amp the one Hank Marvin used but unless i am doing something wrong i don't think it is possible you can only use the dsp that is in that tone. As you have guessed i am trying to get the shadows sound as i used to play. again thanks to every body who helped. Kind Regards Chris.😃 ,

I guess I can add my wish list for my PX-5s successor: A 61-key synth action variant along with the usual 88-key The ability to use 4 of HexLayers in a performance Some more samples for creating HexLayers, especially attack sounds like a gamelan A monophonic option At least one expression pedal input A supplemental user guide that tells you the actual ranges of parameters (ex: the guide will say that "-64" on a filter equals 10 Hz and "+64" equals 10 kHz)

Hi thanks for your reply i found the ac 30 on guitar 128 but the vx15 top boost is 075 in settings according to the manual but in the dsp list it dosen't tell you the name of the amp it just says drive and cabs with no identity of what they are. hope some one can help. kind regards Chris.😄

Just to update this, it was solved. The original poster asked this question in the Facebook group where he solved it by cleaning the sliders and knobs. Judging from his statement that he is simply using this as a piano 90% of the time, I suspected the sliders and knobs are rarely used, if ever, which could lead to erratic operation. This is simply how any potentiometer behaves with age, certain environmental conditions and lack of use. I always suggest simply turning the knobs, sliding the sliders, and turning the wheels occasionally. They can clean themselves and remain in good condition.

"At their original locations" is not how it works, but this does indeed adjust volume level for all rhythms. "AccompVol" as mentioned above, adjusts volume level of the accompaniment playback system. AccompVol level is stored in memory by the "Auto Resume" function, or by storing as a Registration Setup. If Auto Resume is not turned ON and the keyboard is turned OFF, or a different Registration is selected, AccompVol will reset to default. As long as AccompVol does not reset to default, any rhythm selected will playback at the configured volume level. I suspect you are changing Registrations or turning off the keyboard with Auto Resume turned off.

Nice video! Question: Did you record the music as audio first into your DAW and then recorded video of you playing the keyboard afterwards?

Unfortunately that does NOT change the volume for the presets at their original locations. I would like to adjust the volume of ALL of the preset rhythm/accompaniments. They are louder than the "lead" . . . which can be controlled by foot pedal.

Hello friends I have tried the Midi Commander app (Bordero) from Google play on my CT X5000 keyboard but without success. Since I'm not a MIDI expert, I saw the advantage of controlling the keyboard via this app in that it should record a command from the keyboard itself (for example, just a note or register change), assign that command to a button in the app, and then send the recorded command to the keyboard when that button is pressed. I have spent hours trying but without success. I don't know if this application doesn't work with the CT X5000, or if the secret lies in other settings in the application that a non-expert can't understand. Thanks

I have a WK-200, and i would like to do a soundfont from that keyboard. I use LMMS as my DAW, but, what software do i need and how do i make a soundfont from the WK-200?

Thanks a lot Jokeyman for your reply, it seems that the only solution for a complete midi recorded job, could be the multi-tracks parallel A-B loops, and by the other hand, using different song positions as cumulated parts of the overall job 👍 😄
