CT-X3000 Rhythm Archive 1.0.0

   (2 reviews)

About This File

This is a complete archive of all the preset rhythms on the CT-X3000 (and X5000) in .AC7 format. I exported these rhythms one by one from the CT-X3000 by copying them into an empty User Rhythm slot and moving them to my computer in groups of 50 by using the Data Manager for CT-X software utility. Thanks to the wonderful ReStyle batch renaming tool that's currently being developed by @shiihs here on the forums, I was able to quickly and efficiently edit these Rhythms to use their original display names as shown on stock CT-X3000 hardware instead of generic "No Name" placeholders. Please consider popping into the ReStyle development thread here on the forums to thank shiihs for his continued efforts and assist with further testing of the program.

 

If you are a CT-X700, CT-X800 or CDP-S350 owner who is looking to import only the Rhythms that were kept exclusive to the CT-X3000/X5000, I would not recommend using this archive. Instead, I have released a separate expansion pack specifically for those models that includes only the exclusive "missing" Rhythms that have been properly adjusted with new voice assignments to avoid tones that are exclusive to the X3000 for maximum compatibility. The Rhythms in this archive are raw and unaltered from the original presets on the X3000, and several of them make use of tones that do not exist on the lower end AiX models, meaning they may sound strange when you import them to those keyboards. The CT-X700/X800 pack can be found here, and the CDP-S350 pack is here.

 

This release is the first part of what I hope will eventually become a full public archive of all the different Rhythm styles on the current line-up of Casio keyboards. MZ-X users in particular might find this archive helpful, as the MZ-X300 and MZ-X500 are the only other Casio keyboards in the current line-up that can import and play 4-variation .AC7 Rhythms. However, these Rhythm styles are programmed with the CT-X series' voice assignments in mind, so the Program Change and Bank select values associated with some of these Rhythms may call up different instruments when they're imported onto an MZ-X model. Fortunately the MZ-X series features a highly capable onboard Rhythm Editor which you can use to tweak the voice assignments to your liking.

 

I have since released an updated version of this archive with unlocked versions of these AC7 files. These unlocked Rhythms will show their track data as "Recorded", just like it would be with any other User Rhythm you created from scratch. This opens up the ability to add or remove notes to an existing track recording via overdubbing and spot clear, allowing you to make precise changes to the material already contained in these preset Rhythms. You can download the unlocked versions here.

Thank you, very much. I am about to buy a Casio CT-X000 next August. So, I first decided to have a keyboard where I can put styles and tones. This is a very good step for reassuring my choice of this keyboard. Thank you, again.

Great sounds etc on the Casio CT-X5000 I used to have a Yamaha Tyros 4, but that would cost 8 or 9 times of the Casio. So it is a great buy.
