Unfortunately chord mode only works with auto accompaniment. 

Welcome to the forums.  For future reference, it's better to make the title of your topic reflect the question you are asking rather than your name.  To do that, you can edit your post.  

MZX can do it, you just need to rip the CD tracks as a WAV files and use an editor to prepare the samples, trim them, and set any loop point markers that's needed.  Wavosaur is a good editor for embedding loop points, otherwise Audacity can work if loops are not needed.  MZX sample manager can import the wave files and allow you to map them to key ranges, velocity ranges, and much more. 

It's not possible to save a single recording as both types.  Two different recordings must be made.

My mixer isn't effecting the song mix at all... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong either.  I want to bring all my tracks down below the drums but don't hear them moving 

On the CT-X3000, press Song Bank and select the song to edit. Long press the function button to enter song editing mode. Long press the Part Mixer button to enter the mixer. Make any changes to the parts you want to adjust and press exit. System track uses the "song system" mixer parts. Solo tracks use the "Song Solo" mixer parts.

There are ways to do it.  A user rhythm can be created with a silent variation pattern.  That can be used to insert a rest or break of the length desired if needed.  It's also possible to save and recall various rhythms with the registrations during recording to the system track.  Combined, these methods can be used to construct nearly any sequence of rhythms, breaks and such in real time recording using the rhythm controller buttons and registration buttons during recording.  

Audio recordings automatically record direct to USB flash drive.  MIDI recordings record directly to keyboard internal memory. 

To export a MIDI recording to the flash drive, you'll need to use the media save function.  Two file formats are available.  SMF type is a standard MIDI file.  Casio MRF format is the other type, only compatible with the keyboard itself.  You'll find a detailed procedure in the user manual for saving MIDI recordings to USB.   If you get stuck, feel free to ask more questions.  

Most any Casio keyboard in the last 20 years or so with a multi track recorder like this has what's called a system track.  The system track is designed to record rhythms, upper and lower tones, and other features that's normally played live on the keyboard.  If a model has a feature called "easy record" like the WK-6600, that will automatically select the system track for recording.  Other tracks in the recorder are known as solo instrument tracks, used when you want to select a single instrument tone and record with it.  On the 6600, you can use the left and right arrow buttons to select the different track types for recording.  

Both models have an arpeggiator part selection menu.  It allows the arpeggiator to use upper 1, upper 2, lower, or both upper 1 and upper 2 together.

Interesting ideas.  I may be adding the paper rolls somewhere too.  Similar to Chas, I was once using a hanging organizer inside a closet door, the type with about 20 clear plastic pockets on it to hold shoes. Now I keep my cables in a bunch of zipper seal type bags in a drawer.  Realizing how expensive and hard to replace some cables can be, I figured I better waterproof them in event of a flood (which unfortunately can happen where I live).  The added bonus with clear zipper bags is they don't get tangled and it is easy to see what's in them.  I use the bags for all sorts of other things too.

Stage settings carry along with them any edited tones, effects, and even user arpeggio patterns, but phrases are the one thing that needs to be separately moved over.  

Yes, turn off local control.  It's the lowest F# key. 

You'll need to separately transfer phrases from one PX-5S to the other, preferably in the same user phrase number location.  

There is a factory reset procedure.  Hold both tempo buttons while turning on the piano.  It sounds like you have already tested it out of the box, so a reset may not help.  You can possibly gain a higher average volume level from the internal speakers with careful tuning of the master EQ and compressor. 

Unfortunately I could not find any sources for the manual.  

You should be able to swipe down from the top of the screen and see a notification that you can tap on to access all of the Android USB options.  

Perhaps your phone isn't in MIDI USB mode, although the lyric app should have detected that was the case and wouldn't be showing the keyboard is connected.  Hmm

I haven't done it, but I know if they were selling the part, it's possible to replace it.  

Found it in the downloads section here as part of a pack.  

Unfortunately it will need repairs.  How long have you had the piano?  

Hmm, can you share where you saw this?

Which pedal are you using?  Expression type? You should be able to simply copy the modulation wheel settings to the pedal on the controller setup page.  

Unfortunately the LCD screen seems to be sold out and no longer available new.  This page is a seller of Casio parts and it shows discontinued, but you can use it as a cross reference for other models using the same LCD.  You may be able to find another used Casio for parts.

Where can I purchase the music stand (in the message above)?

Contact Casio support in your region of the world.  

Have you found the files you want to download?  They're in the downloads section on this site.  

Auto power off can be turned off in system settings.
