I've downloaded the right program not the fake one and it works perfectly, in any case for security I scanned the program folder with Bitdefender and I didn't find any suspicious malware.

So download it https://www.dropbox.com/s/xldhu4xczpyoc6i/CASIO_RhythmConv%20v2.3%20modified.rar?dl=0

I've found the same macro translated into english go to visit http://musickeyboardtrick.blogspot.it/2014/09/casio-rhytim-converter.html?m=1#.VMgDuNKG-s_

Here is the video tutorial http://youtu.be/0JTjpSgtSBU

Works fine

Bye

Many thanks Fletcher your rhythm converter works very fine! Just tryed today.

Bye

I'll try it nex week many thanks for the info!

I've tried the MIDI Connection Center, it works very well!

If your runnig a pc install musiclab midi device connection center from musiclab.com its FREE (yes we like free) and you can select it 4 ins and 4 outs. So if you want your keyboard to output its rythms to another tone module / keyboard just select MIDI ins CASIO USB-MIDI connect to DEVICE (will have name of device).

 

Works great on my setup.

I'll try it nex week many thanks for the info!

I' made a style using Anvil Studio, it works, I named the 11th marker "End" and transformed in .ckf as written in this forum, somewhere, then I imported in my WK 7500. In Anvil Studio markers are called cues.

Bye

You could rename the Yamaha markers as per required by the Casio Rhythm convertor and sort/order it accordingly which help you to get what you see in the sequencer.

I was guessing that, but I didn't have time to try it. Anyway many thanks.

PS: How I have to call the 11th marker to be suitable for Casio? The other 10 markers are explained in a tutorial but not the 11th one not at all. Many thanks in advance

The markers are helpful but it is not really required to be in a specific sequence. I have tried the similar thing by converting Yamaha SSF (as Midi file) without tweaking any Yamaha markers. In the Casio converter you could specify for each part the starting bar and bar size and it will convert accordingly.

I've noticed that importing some Yamaha stiles on Anvil Studio, may be somebody has an answer! 

 

It's not for Casio!

Hello Strogoff:

You could take a look to Style Works 2000 Universal (Universal must be the appropriate for Casio models)

Tell me about, I couldnt check it out yet.

I know this one is too expensive! I prefer to try with Anvil Studio and Studio One 2.Bye

Stytockf1.2 will convert any Yamaha style file to a Casio .ckf style file and it works pretty well for that, but I don't know how to convert from .ckf to .ac7 although my PX350 plays both .ac7 and .ckf styles np problem, I'm not sure if the WK does. If it does-I have just discovered this website which is actually for Yamaha PSR but check it out-

 

http://psrtutorial.com/MB/mixMaster.html

 

There are programs on this website to completely customize any Yamaha .sty file and I mean everything-loudness levels, instruments, panning and other settings, but converted to Casio .ckf you can do anything you want to a Yamaha style first (or a midi file), then convert it to .ckf. I've tried this in my PX350 Privia and it works perfectly-not all Yamaha style files convert to ckf from Stytockf1.2 but I've had quite a few that work. Stytockf also lets you change instruments and loudness levels for each accompaniment track directly with a ckf file. I've done this to mute out parts I don't want, such as making only a drum/bass track. This psr tutorial website even has a program that will insert "markers" to automatically create intros, endings, variations and fills from any midi smf (.mid) file which can then be converted to .ckf. The Yamaha midi style player program let me preview the Yamaha style first before I decided to convert it-there are over a half-dozen freeware programs all just for playing around with style fles all on this one website-check it out it's pretty amazing. Too bad Casio doesn't have programs like this for the WKs, PX's but with a little work, you can custom-design any style you want, just have to use the Yamaha stuff first. I've already modified around a dozen new styles in .sty format to .ckf for the PX350 using these programs. Hope this helps.

I confirm that not all .sty file can be converted into .ckf, is there anybody knows which is the problem?

That's great ! ! !     I would have guessed that Anvil Studio would not work for what you are trying.  I know it is a neat little program, but I just did not think it was robust enough (at least the cues) for what you are doing.

 

 

Don't worry about where you posted this.  We've all kind of strayed pretty far from Mike's original topic on this.  I just put that in there in case the admins wanted to steer it back on track.

 

 

Have a nice weekend in sunny Rome !  It looks like we are going to be back down around freezing again here for the next few days.

Today it was raining! Anyway!. Watch the screen shot, I attached: I renamed the pattern Ragtime from .sty to .mid, loaded into Anvil Studio, as you can watch the program has found the markers (cues), very easy. Then you can edit and import as Midi file into Casio converter. May be you can change  the markers name with the Casio ones, but I' try it next time

Bye

Yes,

And iam starting to make some progress be it in a small way.

Started with a yamaha .sty file, which if you change the .sty to .mid , then loaded into anvil studio and saved it from there as a midi file

You end up with a midi file with all the markers in it. Pass it through the midi to cfk converter and load it into my ctk7200 and it plays great. Still more to experiment with but its a start.

Brian

I tryed, it works on Anvil Studio and you see the markers(called cue). Normally for that I'm using sty to ckf converter, I must check which is the best way.

Bye

Thanks, I was guessing that cue was similar to marker but I wasn't sure, now I'm gonna try it asap next days. Sorry if I posted my message in a wrong forum.

Bye

I didn't find any suggestion on Anvil Studio.

Bye

How you set markers on anvil Studio?

Bye

This is reggaeton danced like lambada-zouk style, zouk is this one 

Lambada in the past took a lot from zouk rhythm, exactly from cadence (Guadaloupe, Martinique, Haiti) which was one of the rhythms that generated zouk, here is one example: lambada version 

Bye

P.S. You've made a great job with bolero and samba rhythms, I've just tried them some minutes ago!

Unfortunately, I do not have zouk for now

Have you tried creating zouk on keyboard?

bye!

Sorry for answering you late, but I'm on holiday till monday. I' tried to do the zouk but was non good, I'm trying now using this midi base that  I've found a lot of years ago: The first file is the original one the second one is only percussion. Bu the percussion is a good zouk. I imported the zouk.mid on Studio 2 to try to creating a pattern, but I'm having problems with my PC sound card, so when I'll be back to Rome, I'll try it again:

Bye

zouk.mid

Zouk_Rhytm.mid

Do you have also zouk kizomba style?

Bye

I downloaded it and I''ll try. Thanks

I wanna try it with Avil Studio, because I need to create the zouk kizomba style, which is very difficult to find well done on the Internet, even in the list of Yamaha/Korg/Roland styles. I choose Casio WK 7500 because has very nice latin styles, But lacks in zouk kizomba. There is a zouk.ckf but is no good.

Dear Brian if I'll be able to create this style I'll share it in this forum.

Best regards.

Do you mean this http://www.korgpa.com/support/tutorials/item/300-importing-exporting-styles-as-smf-separated-by-markers.html

her is a tutorial 

and 

How can I set markers on Anvil studio or in other software? What do you mean for markers? 

Many thanks in advance.

Brian

 

I do not know if you have been following the other threads here on this topic, but there is a work around for converting MIDI files to rhythms that should work fairly well.  You can use the stand alone converter that came with the old IDES-4 Data Manager software that was for the WK-3300/3800/8000 boards to convert MIDI phrases to .CKF rhythm files and then use the new Data Manager 6.X software to download the resulting .CKF rhythm file to the new boards as .AC7 rhythm files.  Like I say, this should work fairly well, as the new auto-accompaniment (rhythm) engines are not all that much different from the old.  This just adds an extra step in the conversion process instead of going directly from MIDI to .AC7.  You will need to learn to use "markers" in your DAW software for separating the various rhythm sections (intro/main/fill/ending) in your MIDI phrase, but this would still be required even with new converter software.

 

Even so, I still fail to see Casio's wisdom in not including this with the new Data Manager 6.X software.  That Tone Editor and Tone Converter, I understand, as the voice (sound) engine is considerably changed and the "editability" of the new voices (tones) is quite limited compared to the old, so that would have required a complete new rewrite.  I have a feeling that Casio thought no one was using this software, so it was not worth including with the new Data Managers.  By omitting it, hopefully they are finding out how popular it really was and will resurrect it with some updated capabilities at some point in the very near future.  Casio has obviously taken a big step forward with the CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX Workstations and XW synths, but now appear to be failing to take those final few steps to ensure a lasting success of these new units.

 

You can download the old IDES-4 Software and standalone converters from the Casio-Europe site at:

Good luck !

e logrado crear ritmos en la pc. se necesitan 3 software diferentes. pronto subiré un tutorial..

Te espero!
