Thanks again for your reply, Chandler - sorry I'm slow replying, been away from the computer for a while, but I really appreciate all your help here :)

Thanks again, Chandler, that's an incredibly generous and detailed reply. I'll digest the contents over the coming days, while trying to see how I can manage it. By "dedicated line input", do you mean a USB port? It has that. I'll have to research the Behringer UCA's you mention - these can record directly from the 700, using the headphones port on the Casio? You're right about the speakers, they're fairly good for close in listening while I practice, though I prefer headphones for the closeness of the sound. I could probably attach speakers to the Casio but really, I'm not at any stage yet beyond trying to practice chords - slowly - while studying bits of music theory. It's been a great addition to my days! Thanks again..

Hi Chandler, Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay. If I use Data Manager to store the files on my computer, I'm then able to reverse the operation and place them back on the 700? I suppose the only thing then is to maybe use a mic to transfer them onto an app like Audacity? It's a pity, but as you kindly outline, there are options. If I brought my stuff on a flash drive to concert on the CT X800, is this a complicated operation? Like you, I wish Casio had built the function into Data Manager, but I'm still enjoying playing and learning with this keyboard. I'm only a beginner, so my recorded fumblings aren't worth keeping, but as often happens, we think ahead and wonder what's the potential of how things work, and with the 700, the keyboard works very well, and has many exciting features, the only query I have is the one you and Brad have kindly helped me with...

Thanks for the reply, Brian, and so promptly too! I want to record music tracks, but I thought I could transfer the keyboard tracks to the computer. I'm not sure what data manager is for then, if it takes files from the keyboard but they can't be listened to? I'll have a look at DAW software, thanks, if they can be used with direct input from the USB! I'm not familiar with it but I'll enjoy learning. Thanks again, I'm really enjoying using my new keyboard, the sound is great.. Kieran

Hi there, I got my CT-X700 last week and love it! But using the data manager, I imported tracks I recorded on the keyboard onto my computer, but they arrived as unplayable MRF files. Is there any way to play these on the computer, or open them under a different format? There doesn't seem to be anything on Data Manager that helps with this. Is there a way to save the music recorded on the keyboard under a different file name? Many thanks in advance! Kieran
