The Auto Harmonize / Arpeggiator button on the synthesizer is assignable. For assignment, press Function -> Using buttons "1" or "3" select -> АНar / Аrp -> Enter -> BtnAssign -> select the desired one, using buttons "+" or "-". Auto Harmonization only works when playing with auto accompaniment.

Synthesia is probably better for your case, as it supports the connection of two devices, one for the midi input, the other for the midi output. To connect to a tablet or smartphone, a synthesizer or a midi keyboard (or other usb midi devices), you will need an OTG cable and a usb hub.

Not long ago I noticed that the CT X 3000 synthesizer does not read and does not respond to the sysexes that were recorded in the midi file. Therefore, the question is, is this originally conceived by the engineers of Casio or is it a firmware error? The same CTK 7000 synthesizer reads and responds to all the sysexes that are in the midi file.

And I want to buy a Casio MZ X500 synthesizer, but it looks like the Casio campaign doesn't release them anymore. I'll wait another year, if Casio does not release a high-level synthesizer during this time, then I will have to buy a korg pa700 or a yamaha psr sx700

Some addition to the midi command. If you use it with the CTK 7200 synthesizer, then it is really possible to use up to about 500 timbres in one setup. The fact is that the tones on mixer A are turned on by the SysExes, and the tones on the mixer B are switched on by the usual Program Change and MSB. That is, by pressing one button on the midi commander screen, you can immediately turn on different tones on Mixer A and Mixer B. At the same time, they can be used immediately as a layer or used separately. To do this, you will need to configure the buttons for selecting the first tone or second. Usually, these buttons just control the volume on mixer B (they just turn on the volume, for example, at 110, and the other just sets the volume to 0) And the volume on mixer A is controlled by sysex. In total, only 4 commander buttons need to be allocated for this. As a result, we can play with a layer, the first timbre, or the second timbre. To use the commander in this mode, you will need to enable the midi-tru option on it Configuring all 256 buttons on the commander as you need, of course, will take a lot of time, personally I myself have not configured so much, I just did not need to.

Tones on a synthesizer or digital piano can be selected and turned on using the midi commander apps for android. It's free, there is a google play, I use it sometimes. There is SysEx support. In one setup, you can configure 256 tones. (There will be 256 buttons to turn on tones) It can also control the synthesizer controllers in real time. So you can also research this application, perhaps apply it in your speeches.

999 banks for registration will not be soon ... Based on what is now, in your case, to save and load registration banks, it is better to use a regular laptop, tablet or even a smartphone (on iOC) with the Data Manager installed on them via a USB connection to the synthesizer. In this case, it is quite convenient to search for them on a large enough screen and they load quickly.

Yes, but they may take longer to load all the data. I checked, my CTK 7000 downloaded all the data in 1 minute 30 seconds. For performances, it will probably not be very fast. And the CT X3000 downloads all the data in an average of 7 seconds. Perhaps CT X can also load a little longer, I do not have all the slots for styles and tones still occupied, but it is still faster.

The synthesizer can save data in the All Data format. With this data saving, everything that is on the synthesizer is saved. For example, you can configure all 16 by 8 slots of the registration banks and save All data as. Let it be like 16 fully tuned songs. Next, you can load new Styles, create new User Voices, and also set up all 16 banks, and again save them as all data by giving it a different name. And you can do this as many times as you like. All data is quickly loaded into the synthesizer, probably no more than 10 seconds. And you can download this data as needed in performances.The main thing is to remember in which banks the songs are stored, for this you most likely have to get a notepad for notes. And yes, so as not to accidentally lose everything, copy all the data to another USB flash drive and also save it on your computer.

The CT X700 or CT S400 synthesizers are easy to operate, simple because they don't have any of the features that the Casio CT X3000 has. They do not have a mixer, there is no style editor, there is no editor for tones, timbres and styles, also about a hundred less and much more that is not there, which is on the Casio CT X3000 Therefore, what you want to get from them is rather impossible, although the owners of the CTX 700 may be able to answer for sure. Personally, I think CT X3000 is the best choice in this price segment. Among other brands, there are still no models that could compete with it in terms of price - opportunities - sound.

In rhythm edit mode, the number 6 (enter) button toggles the part solo on and off.

Function -> press the number 3 seven times, there will be an option for the volume of the accompaniment ( AccompVol). Use the "+" and "-" buttons to increase or decrease the volume.

@mrmr9494 It is good news if it is possible to change the tone using the RBK file. And the fact that there is no way to shift the octave is not so important, I think then you can use custom tones on the 5th track of the mixer, but they can be edited, and there is an octave shift in the tone editor. I have not used Python yet, as I understand it, this is a programming language, it will probably take a lot of time to learn it. If it is possible to edit the RBK file in some HEX editor, it will be easier for me.

Yes, on track 5 of the CTX series mixer, there is always the instrument you selected on the first track. And on the CTK series casio, in the mixer you can put any instrument on auto-harmonization, which is of course more interesting for sound. Also, in the CTK mixer, you can raise or lower the tone of the instrument by an octave, which is also sometimes useful for good sound. For example, if you use overdubbing plus an auto-harmony tone in octave mode, you can create a 3-layer tone using the synthesizer. For me, this is the main benefit when it is possible to assign the desired timbre to track 5 of the mixer.

I have a question, off-topic, but it relates to the registration file (RBK) Is it possible to assign any desired synthesizer instrument to track 5 of the mixer (auto harmony) using or editing a registration file? Because in the synthesizer, track 5 in the mixer is the only track where you cannot select the desired instrument through the mixer or the synthesizer menu, but I would like to install the desired instrument on this track, as in the CTK series synthesizers.

The CASIO CT X3000 / 5000 sequencer has an option that allows you to quickly record any song, even if you don't know how to play. The fact is that in a completely empty (clean) sequencer, it is possible to first record all the necessary chords of the song in step mode, then select the overdub recording, select the desired style and start the starting chord. And now you just have to wait for the recording to reach the end of the song. During overdubbing, you can click on the desired variations and fills in the right place and it will also be recorded in the song. In this case, you no longer need to press the chords, the song will play according to the chords you entered earlier in the sequencer. I think this is a very cool feature of the sequencer, which will allow you to quickly prepare a template for any song. Entering the step sequencer mode: Selected a song -> long press Function -> number 1 -> Enter -> Enter -> button Accomp -> registration bank 1 -> number 1 (set a step in one measure) - enter a chord - enter a chord ....... Chords must be entered in every measure.

Style on Casio ct x3000 consists of one intro, 4 variations, 4 fills and one ending. A total of 10 eemements are obtained.

This problem can only be solved by Casio's engineers, if they want to, of course. Probably something is wrong with the USB midi driver.

What song do you need a style for? I make styles from midi files for Casio synthesizers.

The rhythm editor also shows quantization values. To do this, you just need to click the Function button.

I didn't understand what you want at all. I am using a midi file to set up a mixer. I have not written anywhere that the cutoff, resonance and other controllers are sysexes. I clearly know what sysex is and what controllers are. For example, on CTK7000 there are 8 controllers (16,17, 18, 19, 20, 80, 81, 82, 83) that can change DSP parameters in real time and they are not related to the midi mixer. And if you assign them, for example, to the midi keyboard twists, nothing prevents you from changing the DSP parameters in real time. And all this is not for this topic, if all this is interesting, then we will create another topic and there you can discuss everything.

I don't read the midi file, I just play it on the synthesizer and it adjusts the synthesizer mixers as I need it. Syxes are not channel messages, there is no concept of "midi mixer" or "main mixer" for them. They go straight to the brain of the synthesizer, so to speak. In full format, I can't explain it, if it's interesting, it's all here https://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/008/CT-X5000-midi-imple_EN.pdf True, this instruction is truncated and does not contain all the data, but I have a full version of the midi instruction for the CTK 7000 and comparing and analyzing, I find what I need. Not yet figured out everything on the CT-X5000. And for CTK7000 I have all the information on controlling the synthesizer through the sysex.

Perhaps I did not understand what you wanted to say, but I do not need a loop - a cable for setting up the mixer, I run the midi file for setting on the synthesizer itself. You can control not only the midi mixer, but also the main mixer, but everything must be done there through the sysexes. Loop - a cable is also not needed for this, everything is also done by starting the midi file. Moreover, through the sysexes there is access to such functions on the synthesizer, which are unlikely to ever be available in the normal mode of using the synthesizer. For example, change the parameters of DSP effects in real time and so on. Of course, I did not discover anything new for the world, but I still discovered a lot of new and useful things for myself, and this is more important for me. It is important to develop. And the synthesizer is what it is. No company usually upgrades already released synthesizers and therefore there is only one way out, if you do not like the synthesizer and there are no functions that you really need, then you will have to look for another synthesizer. We all, sooner or later, change synthesizers. It will be good if the MIDI USB is fixed, they must do that. This function is declared in the synthesizer, we can say that we paid for it and let it work fine, although when connecting via MIDIUSB with midi keyboards or other synthesizers, I had no problems. As I understand this problem exists only in DAW.

I use the midi file to set up the mixer, not because I'm blind or because the Casio CTX has mixer limitations. I have been using it enough, for a long time, even on CTK7000. Because the question was how to save the mixer B settings and always use these settings when the need arises. Therefore, a midi file is like a registration bank file, only for a mixer, a midi input. I already wrote about this above, but apart from your fictitious problem you do not notice anything, so you are more likely to be blind. Now the questions: 1) Can you adjust the cutoff parameters through the casio mixer? The answer is no. And I can do it through the midi file. 2) Can you adjust the resonance controller parameter through the casio mixer? The answer is no. And I can do it through the midi file. 3) Can you adjust the vibration or aftertouch control parameters through the casio mixer? The answer is no. And I can do it through the midi file 4) Will you be able to send sysexes through the casio mixer in order to configure the mixer 1 - 9 keyboard at once? The answer is no. And I can do it through the midi file. And all this in 3 seconds ... There are other possibilities that I see it makes no sense for you to talk about and waste your time on it. So goodbye and don't have to answer that. There will be no answer from me. It's just that this information may be useful to other users, that's why I'm writing.
