Tom banjo

btw the funk preset --seems to have fit some of this

I usually go to my XW-P1 because I love the Solo synth--Hex Layer builds and Step Sequencer ease of operation--but I am slowly getting around to the Ctx--because of it's rhythms and tones--it is like Casio has taken what they already used on my old ctks etc.and expanded I play the banjo first track-then hunt and peck the rhythms trying to find a good fit--sometimes (most times} I do just play my own lines

found it Mclandy --sure enough says 1 means off thanks

that did it--so far I have not got it to switch to details mclandy but I need to get that done -- I revisited the manual with curiosity ---the manual was unclear about this---I had no idea first category was really "toggle off)--you guys are a gift I did figure out(guessed) I needed to say 3 beats was what I needed --to get it to give me 4 beat measures ha ha ten four

I had it on play chord 1 so that is probably it Brad-- I ll switch to 2 and holler back the results some time in this evening thanks bunches

thanks guys it is recording the parts--the one element i recorded-works as a user accomplishment--there is a way of isolating a part by itself--that chandler showed --then one simply pushes the exit button to go back to full element== --it sure would be nice to stack tracks on this --4 variations on the drums would help my mixes---I 'll give some thought to the video idea--i could accomplish that i just need to check settings again first

thanks guys --but pre count I turned off-- And I have tried the accomp button long press and short press --got it fllashing for rehearsal -- and played along ==but when I push stop -start to record the accomp icon dissappears and it just sounds the metronome

thanks so much for putting forth so much info Chandler--yesterday I was trying to do some rhythms from scratch--at 4-10 on your create new user rhythms--you have all parts blasting while you add a piano part--I can't find the right setting to do this--all I can get is the metronome to sync too --after I add something to part 2 drum or part 4 chord--I go to part 5 in order to add a new tone but only get the metronome to stack tracks with -I am hoping to find out what my mistake is--thanks in advance Never mind Chandler Brad and Mclandy got me straightened out already--but thanks for your works

I was trying the recording of accompaniment part by part--when watching a tutorial it seemed the instructor could listen to the drum part and bass part while he dubbed the chord part--I can not get any thing to play except the metronome ----- while trying to stack tracks--I can even activate the rehearsal mode --but when i switch to recording I am back to just the metronome all pre recorded are silent If anyone has any information I would be thankful

great --thanks-- this is what I asked for --now to study it --i'll report back

There are about 20 of these settings--I might hit many different chords majors sevenths- dominant sevenths --sixes on and on--I was trying figure how these settings tie into it--It really is ''never shown''--It says the default would probably cover things --but I would rather not go with that first grade level --if I knew what the real concept--that was built into it---it says something about tension chords in one setting--and then one says it adds sevenths-- which are tension chords--one cluster seems to be for bass--another for chord playing --which at least could be tracked correctly to a 4 to 1 ratio on that guess

long time no see guys--I know fair weather friend--I needed banjo time --anyway a question at hand--I think this rig (ctx-5000)can be easier than my drum machine for coming up with rhythms and much more fun--not to mention --the effects drum tone set------ anyway the question at hand In the manual on page 88 is a chord conversion chart--that I don't comprehend--It would take a lot of comparing for me to figure out --what they are trying to get across So if hit the same C2-E2-G2 major chord left hand each time and these settings are set what notes do they produce bass basic bass 7th-f root chord basic chord variation 2 chord variation 3 chord minor Seeing the end result without having to dig it out of the presets may save time and a lot of temper tantrums--thanks for any help--with these laid out I might see what they are losing me on thanks for being here

If all is working fine --I don't do any firmware chance taking--kinda like weighted keys--no doubt more expressive --but I learned my few chops on a CTK--so I don't need them yet--not a correct approach but keeps things smooth

you might enjoy running your "line out" thru a volume pedal== for best results--be sure to get a pedal that accepts line current not guitar level current warning I am not a seasoned pro --by any means

Maybe maybe not --I am hoping to get this one (riders ots) down in a few months--there are some great you tube tutorials---anyway I always loved those electric piano samples ----Just wondering'' which choices'' to go for----- as a setting to store in the banks--the four tones and which rhythm--to be specific--DSP???
