Sounds right to me.

If all of your tracks are indeed sending on multiple channels, but everything plays back with the same tone, the issue may be that all channels are using the same tone. How are you assigning tones for each track? Have you entered bank and program change data?

To be clear, are you looking for an audio connection or MIDI? USB is for MIDI only. It does not carry audio from the PX-560. Windows supplies the driver for the USB connection, so it should be good to go.

Was this during business hours? They're likely working with limited staff and hours during this time. You could try contacting a local repair shop and ask them if they can do warranty work for Casio. You might get lucky.

The CTX series does not support sample expansion. The user tone slots are for storing edited preset tones. You can press the edit button on a preset tone, edit various settings and save it to one of the user locations. For using your own wave files, you can always connect your CTX as a MIDI keyboard to computer software that can work with samples.

Alex, which tones are you trying to pan?

You'll need a standard USB printer cable to connect it to your computer. Bluetooth is only for listening to music through the pianos speaker system. Once your USB cable is connected, notation software will be able to record to what you play using MIDI. I don't have recommendations for particular software. Any MIDI notation software should do the job.

Use mono piano tones instead. Stereo piano tones are not designed to be panned.

Keep in mind he is outdoors. The camera likely won't pick up the panel lights under bright daylight and glare.

As far as warranty, you'll be covered for 3 years as long as you keep your proof of purchase. The discount code is something I'm not sure about. I wish I could help there. Mike may have a suggestion whenever he has a chance to check in here.

Apologies, I was looking at a different model. CTK-700 does not have auto harmonize. This particular model resets to factory settings each time the power is turned off. If all of the keys are not working normally in normal mode, the keyboard may need repair.

Try increasing release time.

Make sure auto harmonize is turned off.

Where did you read that? All 61 keys will function perfectly as a MIDI keyboard.

Yes, it should be the first 2 or 3 channels for split and layer.

Welcome to the forums! Split mode uses 2 MIDI channels, so you'll need to record 2 indepenant tracks. Each track should send data on a different MIDI channel.

Casio is also a timepiece company, after all.

Back in the day, I would create backing tracks with the song sequencer (called "MIDI recorder" in current models) on my MZ-2000 for my cousin to sing vocals over. I didn't have much in the way of audio recording other than a Philips dual deck CD recorder. I would playback the MZ-2000 in his headphones while recording mic audio directly to CD without the music, so I would have an isolated vocal track. I would then take that CD, playback on another CD player, mix that audio and the MZ-2000 together, running into the CD recorder again to get a final mix. I would manually start playback on the MZ at the correct count-in point as heard in the original vocal track. For a 3 minute song, the CD player and MZ would stay in perfect timing with one another. I'm glad I did it that way because those original isolated vocal tracks survive to this day, where I can use much more sophisticated DAW software I didn't have back then.

Welcome to the forums Johnny! Unfortunately, split mode and rhythm editing is not available on the CT-S300. Casio starts offering split mode at the CT-X700 level, and the ability to edit preset rhythms at the CT-X3000 level.

Correct, different element types can't be interchanged.

Intro can't be copied to variation, if that's what you're asking. The section in the manual I mentioned outlines which parts can be copied to which.

It can't be turned off. Whenever you play a key, you're hearing an audio recording of a real piano played back at CD quality. The sound is in that recording.

You'll want to use an external player for that, like a phone connected to the audio in jack. The onboard audio recorder doesn't have those functions.

Yes. Use element copy, in the manual it's under "to copy an existing accompaniment pattern for editing". Basically, start editing the rhythm you want to add a new variation to, select an empty variation, enable the copy element function, select the rhythm number you want to copy from, and select the variation you want from that rhythm. Press enter to complete.
