CT-X700 Rhythm Archive (CT-X800, CDP-S350, CT-S400, LK-S450) 1.0.0

This is a (mostly) complete archive of all the Rhythms on the CT-X700, CT-X800, CDP-S350, CT-S400 and LK-S450. These instruments have the ability to import custom User Rhythms, but they cannot edit them in any way once they are loaded into the internal memory. As such, this means they are also incapable of copying preset Rhythms into a User Rhythm slot, which is the only way to get AC7 Rhythm files exported off of the keyboard and onto your computer for external editing/sharing.

I've compiled this archive to circumvent that limitation, allowing owners of these "Import Only" instruments to access near-identical copies of the preset Rhythms on their instrument. When these files are used in conjunction with a librarian program like ReStyle, they open up added functionality like the Named Registration workaround. In the future, if a fully-featured AC7 Editor program ever comes out, these files will also give "Import Only" Casio owners a great starting point for tweaking the preset Rhythms. One such editor is being worked on by a community member at the moment, but it is not ready for public release.

These files are only useful if you own one of these "Import Only" models. If you're only interested in this download as a way to access the preset Rhythms from the AiX generation of Casio keyboards, do not download these files. You are usually better off getting the "complete" 4 variation versions of these files from my CT-X3000/X5000 archive. If you plan to use these 4 variation Rhythms on a Casio keyboard that only has 2 variations (usually labeled as "Normal + Variation"), you can use ReStyle to split the Rhythm in half and load both halves into two separate Rhythm slots.

I created these files by taking the CT-X3000/X5000 source files and doing side-by-side comparisons of the same Rhythms on my CT-X700 to determine which variations and fills the Casio engineers chose when "condensing" these 4 variation Rhythms down for use on the entry-level 2 variation models. While this process was long and difficult, it was successful for 95% of the Rhythms in the archive. The numbers at the end of these file names (e.g. 13-24, 14-23) denotes which parts of the original 4 variation Rhythm were swapped around to make the 2 variation Rhythm. The numbers to the left of the dash are the two variations/fills that occupy the first two slots, and the numbers to the right are the ones that occupy the last two slots (inaccesible on a 2 variation model). So, a "13-24" Rhythm is one that uses Variations and Fills 1 and 3 from the 4 variation source file. 23-14 uses Variations 2 and 3 from the original file. V1F2V3F3-V2F1V4F4 uses Variation 1 and Fill 2, and Variation 3 and Fill 3 from the original file. You can ignore these numbers for the most part, I included them for organizational purposes.

Some of these Rhythms won't sound exactly like the originals, primarily because not all of the Rhythms that appear on the CT-X700 are included on the CT-X3000/X5000. There are a good chunk of Indian Rhythms in particular that were only put on the X700 (and of course the Indian variants like the CT-X870IN/X8000IN/X9000IN). I had to source these files from a helpful forum user (@ConfusedRedditor16), but because I had to edit the voice assignments on a CT-X5000, I did not have access to all of the exclusive tones used to record these Rhythms initially. These files can be fixed eventually, but I didn't want to delay the rest of the archive so I'm releasing them as-is for now. I have labeled all of the Rhythm files that have "incomplete" instrumentation with two exclamation points (!!) at the start of the file name. If you want to take a crack at fixing them yourself, feel free to reply with a comment here and I can update the .zip archive to include your fixes.

If you have a CT-X700, you will need to use Data Manager for CT-X and a USB-B to USB-A data cable to transfer the files (here's a video tutorial if you need it). If you have a CT-X800, you have the option of connecting a flash drive to transfer the files, or you can use Data Manager if you'd prefer. CDP-S350, CT-S400 and LK-S450 owners will have to use the flash drive transfer method. This tutorial video on flash drive transfer was made for the CDP-S350 and the CT-X800, but the process is more or less the same for the CT-S400 and LK-S450.
