😅 I believe you. You have the evidence.

Now my name is showing Chas again. 🤷‍♂️ Screenshot above shows that I wasn't going crazy!

Heads up everyone with a Casiotone CT-S1000V. Casio has just updated the Lyric Creator app for designing new vocal synth tones. It adds some very welcome new editing and preview tools. The process of creating new lyric tones is now easier and smoother than ever.

An add-up info, since i was suggested for a Privia or CasioTone, well ive tecently discovered the CT-S100.and i was really impressed by the Keys being quite ''Hard'' which remindednme of jezvy key GP at some point, but towards Sound's Quality i wasnt so impressed, tho...while it has limited instruments that lakes it very ''basic'' like a ''kid's toy'', i wont underestimate this keyboard, coz IMO I prefery CTX Sound's Quality being much better and for the ''soft keys'' it didnt changenmy opinion on it. Although, CDP has OVR Hard keys but still feels like a Synth when Key being repeased and NO AfterTouch tho, so im'just saying that im still loving my CTX eventhough it belongs to the ''Synth World'', znd i wont go for '' a Realistif hezvy key kyebo1rd GP, tho. So that's it

Man, i really see what you meant about ''further assets being quite complicated to settle, no worries, i just wanted re-roll this ''quiet and dead topic, coz found it interesting with ''eventual downloads'', and now i see why its ''out ot inspiration. Nevermind, im still following this Forum and if someone showe up with new stutt, i'd know it instzntpy, so dont worry u guys (jokeyman123. JustAlex) Anyway, u b8th 1lready well---implemented nice data, im okay sith that !

Unfortunately it can only be enabled for the upper half of the keyboard in a split setup.

Hmm. I'm only seeing Chas. Perhaps your browser is automatically translating your display name because some of this page is not in English, although I have no clue how Chas translates to Hour. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought my wife a Privia PX-S3100 for Christmas and we are looking to do a song by "We The Kingdom" which is calling for an arpeggiator on the lower half of the keyboard. Is this possible? and if it is could anyone explain to me how to set it up like I was in the third grade? Not really up to par on these newer keyboards plus I'm a guitar player, LOL. TIA

Forum Moderators/ staff, any idea why my name is showing up as "Hour" and not "Chas" in the above post? 🤔

Thanks for the heads up! And good to hear that the S1000V app is still being updated and improved. I'll have to dust down my S1000V and check it out 👍

I'll add this regarding NAMM. They're showing new models that were released in mid 2024. This is their first time out at NAMM. https://www.casio.com/europe/corporate/casio-corporate/news/2024/0905/ In other news, Casio has updated the Lyric Creator app for the CT-S1000V. It adds some very welcome new lyric tone editing tools, including the ability to preview the lyric tones in the app before transferring to the keyboard. This is a huge benefit that will help streamline the lyric tone creation process!

Yes it is discontinued. PX-5S however is still trotting along. From what I understand, PX-S7000 and PX-S6000 are doing very well. In fact PX-S7000 just won MMA dealers choice award for the 4th year in a row. They definitely struck a chord with those.

Did Casio stop production of the PX-560? I didn't think so, but you could be right. With inflation so high everywhere for everything, I'd be very surprised if Casio released anything near the top of their PX-5s and 560 models.

With the PX-560 no longer in production, wouldn’t that indicate a replacement is on the near horizon?

Hi everyone, I just found this interesting thread. Hope it's not too old. I recently found my old PT-20 from my childhood in a box at my parents house. It doesn't have a power adapter and there were no old batteries left in it but it does have some corrosion on the battery contacts. I cleaned it up and put fresh batteries in but it didn't work. The LED did not come on, no sound, nothing. I carefully opened it up to look for any obvious damage, everything looked normal so I put the batteries back in while I had it open and it worked. Yea! I sounded wonderful. I tried the keys, chords and rhythms. Everything seemed to work fine except the volume slide seemed a little dirty. I removed the batteries and put it back together, but this time the LED was stuck on regardless of the switch position and sadly no more sound. Any thoughts on what may have happened?

Уважаемый Jokeyman123, к сожалению, мне приходится ежедневно наблюдать, как одни гибнут на фронте (СВО), а другие "поднимают" и "развивают" культурные ценности, веселятся в разном виде шоу на ТВ и прочее. Не уверен, что кто ТЕ, сейчас "празднует" и веселится, продолжает жить, как ни в чём не бывало, вообще понимает, что происходит... Мнение мое - всего лишь мнение. Отношение к чужому горю говорит о поддержке существующей цивилизации. Безразличие и ДЕМАГОГИЯ, как это не парадоксально, но ставновятся НОРМОЙ... А уж как к этому всему относится - решает каждый сам. P.S. Перевод не всегда верен, но суть доводит.

For me, this question is also relevant. If in the midi file, prescribe sysexes to change the timbre - tone, in certain necessary places where a change in the solo instrument is required, this should work? Somehow I checked it for a long time if you lose to MIDI from the computer (the synthesizer is connected to a computer for USB MIDI), then the SYSEX changes the solo tool on the mixer 1 - 9 of the keyboard, but if you lose this midi file on the synthesizer itself, it does not work. I could not understand why ...

As it says in the manual (Page EN-39), "While a song is playing back, you can play along on the keyboard using the tone (including split and layer tones) that was selected before song playback was started." That implies to me that you cannot change keyboard Tones on the fly while playing back a MIDI file. Regarding the volume levels, you could certainly create and save a Registration in which the Mixer settings are set up properly for a given MIDI song and the associated live-play keyboard Tones, and call that up before starting playback. Perhaps a better approach would be to use a MIDI editor to "pre-normalize" the volume settings in the MIDI files themselves, so you don't have to readjust going from one song to another.

AFAICT, the fires were/are mostly north of LA proper, and NAMM is in Orange County, which locals will tell you is not LA and is south of it. As a person who lives in an area where natural disasters sometimes occur, I can confirm that news reporting tends to blur regions for convenience. It's hard to describe to people unfamiliar where places are relative to each other. "Southern California" gets thrown around a lot, and I had a friend in San Diego who would always get called by his mother on the East Coast when she heard that on the news, and most times what they were talking about was up in LA or somewhere like that. I don't think anything related to the fires is anywhere near NAMM. What NAMM had to deal with are probably two main things. Are displaced people in those hotels? And how much of the industry is affected and unable or not wanting to come because they live and/or are based in LA? Yes, there probably will be people who have been affected or have stories who will be at NAMM and spread the word and get outsiders to help more. Also, many times people will visit famous places in the LA area while they're in town. Depending upon where, they may be able to see some of the damage, and see what's happened to famous places that were damaged or destroyed.

I too am a newbie and this is my first message to anyone. I see it's been a year since your post and I hope that you have already found help for your problem. If you need help, I may have an answer for you. I have a WK7600 and have logged over 5000 hours on it and still learning more everyday. I have 2 possible items for you to try. 1. you could be looking at a faulty A/C Adapter or by chance if you happen to have batteries installed that are dead and are interfering with the A/C adapter. If no batteries exist then maybe the adapter is faulty. 2. If someone may have attempted to perform an operation while the "PLEASE WAIT" message was displayed, may have caused an internal problem. Only after confirming the adapter and battery situation should this next step be tried. WARNING, the following procedure WILL RESET THE KEYBOARD BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS. WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE R-2 (B) E.PIANO AND THE R-5 (E) STRINGS BUTTONS, PRESS THE L-1 (POWER) BUTTON TO TURN ON THE POWER. This is directly out of the user manual Page E-150. I hope that this will get you up and playing. Good Luck!

I’ve got this keyboard! Casio SA-20. i got it for Christmas in the late 1980’s and still have it. And it still works.

Just my opinion- It might be helpful in the areas that can, to try to go forward with whatever they can. Might boost some people's "morale". On the surface, it may seem possibly heartless and selfish to proceed with this. But...with people coming from all over the world to NAMM-they will see what has happened there, and it might bring more people forward to help restore the destroyed homes, lives, and natural habitats if they see it first-hand. Anything that can help restore the devastated local economies, homes and natural areas. large and small-let it go forward. Sometimes positive change can happen in unexpected ways. Maybe that will be what happens as a result of this very large NAMM gathering-maybe some of the major music companies will be willing to donate to restorations there once they see it-since so much of the music and film industry function as a result of what many people in those industries have to do for a living, right there-whether it is a small business owner and their workers, workers that have lost their homes or even many of the larger industry people who I'm sure are feeling the effects of the surrounding devastation, as well as many of the the musicians, actors, stage crews and hundreds of support people. This is the "capital" of one of the largest industries in our country, and there is a big history there as well. I would guess thousands have lost not only their homes, but their livelihoods. I was surprised that NAMM was even going to be possible-so more power to them if it can benefit anybody in that area. Просто мое мнение- Возможно, будет полезно в областях, которые могут, попытаться двигаться вперед со всем, что они могут. Это может поднять «моральный дух» некоторых людей. На первый взгляд, это может показаться бессердечным и эгоистичным продолжать это. Но... с людьми, приезжающими со всего мира на NAMM, они увидят, что там произошло, и это может побудить больше людей помочь восстановить разрушенные дома, жизни и естественные среды обитания, если они увидят это своими глазами. Все, что может помочь восстановить разрушенную местную экономику, дома и природные зоны. большие и малые, — пусть это идет вперед. Иногда позитивные изменения могут происходить неожиданным образом. Может быть, это и произойдет в результате этого очень большого собрания NAMM — может быть, некоторые из крупных музыкальных компаний захотят пожертвовать на реставрацию там, как только увидят это — поскольку большая часть музыкальной и киноиндустрии функционирует в результате того, чем многим людям в этих отраслях приходится заниматься, чтобы заработать себе на жизнь, прямо там — будь то владелец малого бизнеса и его работники, работники, которые потеряли свои дома, или даже многие из людей из более крупной индустрии, которые, я уверен, ощущают последствия окружающих разрушений, а также многие из музыкантов, актеров, сценических бригад и сотни людей поддержки. Это «столица» одной из крупнейших отраслей в нашей стране, и там тоже есть большая история. Я предполагаю, что тысячи людей потеряли не только свои дома, но и средства к существованию. Я был удивлен, что NAMM вообще станет возможным — так что больше им власти, если это может принести пользу кому-то в этой области.

I am using midi files on a usb stick as a Backing Track in a live performance to sing and play along with. The problem is once I select the Song Bank, C04 USB Song it freezes my registration memory presets. I am unable to change the Tone say from Piano to Organ(Bank 1,1 to Bank 1,2) cause my presets won't respond. The Tone is stuck at the one selected before I boot up the midi file playback from the usb stick. Also, some of my midi files are at slightly different volume levels. Does anybody know a way of either boosting/reducing the volume of the Selected Tone or midi file playback "on the fly" Its kind of awkward going into the settings and changing the Volume level for one song
