Hi, Many thanks that`s good news for me, Thanks Brian07

Hi, Is it possible to Step record chords on the MZX500 i.e select a pattern/style and the input a set of chords for a complete song ? Brian007

Thanks guys Who knows i may buy another casio in the future and i will be back As they are great value for money boards Brian

Hi everyone. Just a quick heads up. I have sold my casio ctk7200 and am waiting delivery of a korg PA50sd So thanks everone for all you help in the past and will keep popping in to say hello.

Hi Ted, Yes its looking that way, Brian

Hi Strogoff Yes thats exactly what I mean Brian

I have managed to emulate and create to interesting sound by mixing to tones together and some serious use of the mixer but as has been said earlier upload a sound of the tone you require so everyone can hear it and who know what anyone may come up with, Brian

I think every keyboard is a compromise between what you want and what you can afford, the key I think is as you have the board is to try and work around its short comings Brian

Hi, 2 upper and 1 on the lower, Brian

The 7200 is like any other keyboard you will only get out of it what you put into it, By layering and altering the tones you can create some great unique sounds. Enjoy your new keyboard.

Hi, tried to upload a drawbar organ tone and it wont let me any ideas its a .DB7 extension Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file Brian

They are what are used when you create a rhythm/style for your keyboard, they identity the different sections of the style/ Rhythm, i.e intro/ main/ ending so your keyboard can tell the difference between each section. Do a search in your help section of the software your using and it will tell you in there how to insert them. It varies on the software used. I found a few informative post over on the korg forums

For me personally, I would like to sed a dedicated software editor supplied or made available for download And a up to date program for converting midi files into rhythm/ styles for the ctk7000 boards

Hi take a look at this facebook page there is a download link for some software there that may help you https://m.facebook.com/signman07?id=100003397153271&_rdr#!/groups/518628384892195?ref=bookmark&__user=100003397153271

Hi, Yes you should be able to do that. Select the mixer and from the you have control of all the volumes . Brian

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

Hi all Anyone know what the correct names for are for the marker you put into a midi file before converting it to a rhythm ?. They are some thing like, intro, main, mainfill ending So anyone know the correct names please ? Thanks

I am nearly sure you need to tell the keyboard to save it as smf file. Have a good look in the hand book under saving a song.

Hi all Casio users, a specially those of use that use the CTK7200 and CTK7500 I have started a page specifically aimed at those two keyboards. it can be found here https://www.facebook.com/groups/518628384892195/ Not much there as yet in fact no members , so if anyone's interested please pop along this is not intended to take members away from here but to be used as another source of info ( hopefully ) Brian

I would not say that its limited to a one sound keyboard, it use splits a lot save. as presets so its easy to change between Sounds, volume can be controlled with an active foot volume control. I use the board live and have never found any limitations with it, yes it can present challenges but there is always away aroud most of them.

Hi, There are a few videos on youtube that I have found but you may be better of searching for what you want to find out about i.e creating presets or how to create new user tones. etc..... Search for wat you want and add casio keyboards on the end. You may find its there but for a diiferent model of casio keyboard. Brian

Hi, I tend to set up my splits as a preset and adjust the volume for the left hand and fight hand side and save it when I save the preset. But as you said i dont think is possible on the fly may be at best a foot volume control ? Brian

Hi, Yes i know what you mean about a long way back after using splits and shifting the octave ? To be honest I think you hit the nail on the head when you said save your basic keyboard Configuration as a preset and just select it when your finished with the splits etc. Brian

Hi happyrat Thats how much i paid here in the uk £12.95 uk pounds including delivery Not sure what that is in Canadian dollars ? Brian

Hi, Good to see it being sold world wide at sensible price. Brian
