Result of my iterations : I created a new database in Set List Maker Then activated the midi link Pressed system settings>midi>stage setting change. Set it from NRPN to bank program (the devil was in this detail, Thanks Brad !) created Midi Presets (taking care to write the Program with 2 digits) created songs linked Midi Preset to each song Organized Songs in a show And everything is OK now ! Thank you Ivan, Jockeyman123, Mike and Brad. I am so grateful to you all ! As I promised, I will write a tutorial in french for those who look for step by step instructions which can't be found in french. Stay healthy and enjoy your marvellous PX-5S ! Pascal

Brad, I have changed Stage Set.Chg to the other value : "PrgBnk" and now, I can trigger rich PX-5S settings instead of GM sounds. In SLM, Midi settings, Program changes _________________________________________ Bank MSB is 112 Bank LSB is 0 Program is 22 and the result is Stage setting 3-2. I investigate why _______________________________________ Bank MSB is 112 Bank LSB is 0 Program is 33 and the result is Stage setting 3-3. Yess ! So, it's going to work well. Thank you Brad for the question about Stage Set.Chg parameter because a part of the solution is there. I will post other reports after different tests

It is set to NRPN !

Thank you Brad ! GOERGN wrote "Create a MIDI device (PX5s - channel 1). Now create midi presets (name, MSB=112, LSB=0, patch=00-99) Assign a MIDI preset to a song. ". This is what I did and what Mike explained very well. Thank you Jockeyman123 for your post ! You seem to have had the same issue as me, with GM sounds triggered instead of the rich sounds of PX-5S. I think there might be a few steps of configuration I ignore to reach the range of specific stage settings of PX-5S. I have seen many videos with SLM plugged on PX-5S and we will find THE good configuration. As I said to Mike, as soon as it will be working, I will post a tutorial in french on Casio Music Forum for all the users who are looking for "le grand secret de la mystérieuse connexion"... Thanks to you all and "Portez-vous bien !"

Hello Ivan Thanks for your reply and your help. I have changed the digits in "Program number" and what I notice is that the settings driven by Set Lis Maker are always General Midi sounds, very far from the rich stage settings of the PX-5S. Maybe this can help to find the issue. Pascal

Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your message. I feel as if a guardian angel was helping me.😄 I send you the screen shots of one of the midi presets. I have watched several times your recent great tutorial which explains step by step what to do but I think (like you) I may have a configuration issue. I may also not have understood very well all the subtelties of Arlomedia tutorial because I am not fully fluent in english and there is -for now- no help in french while the association between PX-5S and SLM is a great feature. I can send as many screen shots as necessary. Just ask me. I promise I will write a tutorial in french when we will have succeeded 😃 Once again, Dear Mike, have my deepest gratitude !

Thank you so much craZivn for your help. I am very grateful to you. I have followed your instructions, step by step and I am on a good way but I don't get the expected results. Meanwhile, I have followed Mike Martin's last webinar and I am very grateful to him too for all the explanations he gave to us. What I did : - Connexion between PX-5S and my iPhone 11 : OK - flow of instructions between PX-5S and iPhone : OK (I receive many lines in the Activity Log on the "Midi Status" screen.) - Midi presets : OK with the good values in Bank MSB, Bank LSB and good numbers for the Program zone : 28 = Stage setting 2-8 - Songs : I have linked a midi preset for each song - Show : I organized my 2 songs with the 2 presets in a Show - When I am on the "Show" screen, I choose "View by Lyrics" - Then, I see the list of songs and I can switch from one song to the other - Song A : Instead of a Stage setting 6-0 : Distorted Organ, I get a General midi Harpsichord sound - Song B Instead of a Stage setting 0-0 : Grand Piano, I get GM Tinklebell I may not be very far from the expected result. Thank you so much if you have some more advices. I can send screenshots if it may help. Pascal

Thank you Ivan for the parameters you gave. It works for me. I mean I can see the flow of midi instructions coming from my PX-5S on my iPad screen. That is a first step. What I do'nt understand is what happens next : how can we send a stage setting to the PX-5S ? Every stage setting is defined by a number. Where do you type this number in SLM ? (Sorry if my english syntax is sometimes strange : I live in France and do my best to be understood 😉
