TomTPX560

Thanks Brad. That was easy. No more screen names for me. Until I upgrade, that is. 😎

I want to change my username here at Casio Music Forums from TomTWK7600 to TomTPX560. What's the best way to do that? I searched for a while, but didn't find anything on this. I suppose I can always just cancel my membership as TomTWK7600, and then sign up again as TomTPX560. Thanks for any help.

Sorry for this late reply, but I wanted to add a bit of encouragement. I didn't get it at first either. But if you follow the directions in the User Guide for the Data Manager, and what Brad and Jokeyman123 said, then you will eventually get it. In case you don't have the User Guide yet, here's a link to download it: https://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=67

Thanks sslyutov. I've learned how to do it with VSDC Free Video Editor. Also with the Windows Movie Maker 2.6 (which is about as simple as video editors get).

Very nice playing, and yes that is a really cool rhythm pattern from the WK3500.

Nice playing giano! How do you sync the vid and sound so good?

Excellent creation and playing sslyutov! Good video too. How do you synchronize the video with the music?

Thanks Tsquare -- helpful info! I hope to experiment with some ensemble stuff in the near future. So nice to have a built in mixer.

Beautiful arrangement and playing, Tsquare!

@Bob Dooley, as Brad mentioned, you have to download the Casio Data Manager and its 33-page user guide to deal with the audio files you record to your SD card. Here's a link to the Casio website where you can get it: https://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=67 Have fun, and post some of your creations. There's a special music-posting forum (in CasioMusicForums) for stuff done on Casio keyboards, or you can post it to the appropriate instrument forum (i.e., in this forum for music done on the WK7600).

Hi Bob Dooley. Do you have a question or comment regarding what you quoted above? If it's about recording to an SD card, I addressed that in your thread about that.

Brad Saucier said: Music presets are like having someone next to you playing the chords that drive accompaniment, freeing you to play a melody over the top, kind of like joining in on a jam session, but the keyboard does all the work. In fact, Casio used to call this feature "free session". It works great for honing improvisation skills. Preset chord progressions consist of commonly used progressions in popular music. _______________________________________________________ Thanks Brad. I usually do my own backing stuff. That's one of the main reasons why I really like the WK7600 (and the PX560), because of the sequencer's multitrack capabilities. However, I have made extensive use of a keyboard's built in rhythms (and variations thereof) in many of my tunes. So, will definitely be exploring that aspect of the WK7600 (and the PX560).

Hi Martha, thanks for commenting. I see that Brad Saucier has posted a link to a video on presets. I haven't gotten into the rhythm stuff yet, but will post about it when I do. Not sure exactly what your experience is with not being able to "get them to work". I'm sure there are people at these forums who can help with that. Maybe the link that Brad posted will solve the problem?

Hi Jokeyman123. I got the PX560 a few weeks ago. Couldn't wait. hahaha But actually I have posted more frequently in these forums since I got it. A few tunes and some comments, etc. It's the keyboard of my dreams. Seriously. I'm in hillbilly hog heaven when playing the PX560. The WK7600 is fun. The PX560 is beyond that. It's METAfun, bordering on a spiritual experience. (ok, maybe that's a bit much, but it IS fantastic) The hard part with the PX560, as with my experience with the WK7600, is to make myself stop rambling tickling the ivories long enough to actually learn how to do some of the more interesting, deeper stuff like creating layered tones, tweaking tones, creating presets, editing, etc., etc. However, there is something to be said for rambling. It isn't really (well, at least not totally) aimless. I've generated some new stuff (well, new for me anyway) that I'm in the process of building some new (again, new for me) tunes on. Anyway, just having a heckuva good time with the PX560. But I still have the WK7600 (a great keyboard, just not a PX560), and hope to learn on it as well. It's good to have a backup keyboard also.

Nice playing WhiteDigitalPiano! Thanks for posting.
