hi... it's a pity... Thank's... 😉

hi, i know how to get accomp on my daw, what i want is to "command" chords variations... I don't wont to receive data but send data... I explain : i run an accomp on the casio, and i want when i play a C chord on my daw that it will send it to the casio and so change the accomp in C. Instead of playing a C chord on the casio keyboard... if i can have a track on cubase with chords, for example 1st measure C 2nd measure D 3rd measure Em... i hope that playing this track will change automatically on casio accomp... Not sure it's possible... but it's just midi date. And i don't know on witch channel i have to send midi data...

Hello everyone... I continue my exploration of Casio, both for the "classic" use and for slightly more advanced functions. Right now I'm trying to "transform" the Genos styles into Casio style... not easy, because of the megavoices and other Genos specifics, but it's progressing. I'll let you know how to manipulate it once it's all consolidated. Today I have a very specific question. I know how to connect my casio to Cubase, send my 16 midi tracks to the casio and get what I'm playing straight into a midi track. What I would like to be able to do (is it possible?) is to send a chord from Cubase to vary the accompaniment? I'm having a little trouble understanding the history of the xx midi tracks... At midi OUT, we have 9 KEYBOARD tracks + 8 RYTHM tracks. ON has 9 SONG SYSTEM tracks that are neither IN nor OUT . Finally, we have 16 tracks in MIDI IN... How do I send Chords in my CASIO ? Thank you in advance...

oh that's where the problem comes from... I saw this the other night. I've created a good guitar lead sound for myself and I didn't understand why when I launched my song from Cubase, I always came back with the "clean" sound without DSP... Because I also had a DSP on my bass... Not great. Basically, if you create two great sounds with DSP (a tablecloth and a guitar), you can't see both in the same song... Big limitation anyway...

Thanks and great job ! 63 - V3 - RA-NBK = Randall NB King (Guitar) : of course !!! I will compare with mine (i got it in real, wonderful amp...)

Be careful, the keyboard must be UP AND CONNECTED before launching Cubase ! then you can choose it on your intrument track or midi track ...

up.... first i was looking for something like the roland BK7m... But even second hand it was priceless. In fact, just the sound and arranger part of the casio would have been enough for me. One day maybe a brand will come out with a "walkstation" worthy of the name... As a result, the casio is no longer very "walk" (lol) but the sound is sublime and it offers a lot of possibilities, especially coupled with a DAW...

and finally, being and having been a big consumer of amps and amp simulators (hardware or software), I must confess that I was amazed by the Casio... The character and the color of each one is rather well respected, including in the grain and in the ability to crunch... The small (lol : the real is 100w! and weighs about 1 horse and a half!) Peavey 5150 EVH is remarkable...

hello, some answers from a guitarist ... 1 FD-PRNST Fender Pricetown 2 FD-TWRV1 Fender Tweed reverb 3 RL-J12 Roland Jazz 12" 4 FD-TWD Fender Tweed... ...

So, I did some tests last night. So we can run a lot of things in CC and PC (see the midi sheet above in this topic). For sysex, I managed to change the type of reverb but that's about it... So, I don't know if I'm typing the wrong sysex or if its parameters are just not reachable... I'll try to make you a summary table of the CCs that I can use and the few sysex that I know work...

Bonus question : someone can tell me what sound he uses for the guitar?😍 and if it's a personal sound (which I guess it is), if someone has contacts at casio, do you think he would share it with us???? (big wish)...😛

yep, by "basic" CC you can access to the send level of reverb, delay and chorus. I'm wondering if by sysex i can access to the "tone control" (dsp, etc). Already, I'm sure i can change the type of reverb, not sure for the chorus, no hope for delay (lol). I'll try this evening with midiox... maybe I'll see what comes out of the casio and what I can send from cubase... I'll make a feedback tomorrow during the day...

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have the same problem. I found the messages for the reverb (CC91) and chorus (CC93). I guess the delay must also be CC94 (Cubase tells me "modulation"?). I think I found the sysex to change the reverb type and duration, same for the chorus settings but nothing about the delay. I'm afraid that you can't change the type of delay and even less its parameters... just "send" it..; Here is a casio doc on the CTX midi implementation... even more readable and pleasant than the manual; CT-X3000-midi-imple_EN.pdf

Just have to select the right PC (program change)... PC : 0 to 99 /Bank 65...

Hello, Little by little, I dive into the casio and the improvement of my midi files. I know how to revoice tracks with my instruments, I know how to put reverb. But I can't find the MIDI CC for the delay... - Reverb (MIDI-Event Controller 91) : reverb depth - Chorus (MIDI-Event Controller 93): chorus depth - Variation (MIDI-Event Controller 94): ? Does anyone know which midi CC is used for the delay? And can we change the reverb / delay /chorus type or their parameters? Regards buddies 😉

Hello, I'm starting to want to create my own rhythms. I've read the pdf tutorial, downloaded the right tools. But I just have a small technical question to be able to move forward. Can someone tell me the maximum size of each part? Intro1, Intro 2, etc... : max measures ? Do I have to name them "intro 1, intro 2" or do I put the name I want? Thank you in advance... PS: for your information, I'm trying to put a first style demo before the end of the week 😉

Hello ! The casio has been at home for a few days now and I am beginning to understand how it works. First point, I passed it in 1.08. It's not very complicated but it's long! As for the changes brought by the new firmware: ???? Second point, I now know how to use the splits and the 4 layers offered. And also the arpeggiator... I confess, I made some JM Jarre (the intro of RDV 2) with 2 layers of right hand synth and a right hand arpegio (Oberheim): great! It offers an incredible number of possibilities. I also started playing jazz (Acoustic bass left hand and sax right hand), with a disconcerting ease... Third point, I am now able to revoice my midi files (thanks cubase) and play them with the sounds of the casio. Sublime... Well, you have to name them well because with an 8-character display... Last point, the styles. I tried to migrate the Yamaha styles, without much success. There, there is still work to be done. I don't think the Casio is to blame, rather my way of "migrating" them. I still have some work to do to understand it. Finally, a few small remarks : - When you turn on the Casio, it goes back to its original configuration! (Chord Mode, Arpeggiator/Harmonizer) So I have to recall a preset to get MY configuration. Not very practical. - Updating the firmware overwrites everything: bye bye my pads and presets... I just have to know it and make a backup before! Finally, I started creating / modifying tones. Manual not very clear, I'm having a hard time. So if someone has a lead guitar tone (or any electric guitar) in his drawers, I'm interested 😉 Bye !

Hello everybody, Juste a newbie question... I've load a midifile via the USB key, but the CTX used GM voices. I've understood tha i have to revoice the midifile before... I have the habit to use CUbase. I've downloaded the instruments definition file. Please tell if i'm right or wrong : - I open the midi files in cubase - I affect instruments to tracks with the instruments definition file for casio CTX (for example track 9 set to 181 AMP FINGERED BASS MSB 38 / PC33 instead of GM FINGERED BASS) - i save the midifile, put it on usb key - Now i can play it on my keyboard with right instruments ? (so with the 181 AMP FINGERED BASS) Thanks 😉

Hello to all. Well, here it is, it was received last night and I come to give you my first impressions. Already, it imposes. By the size and weight, we are far from the small PSR that I knew 20 years ago. The materials look solid, well assembled. It looks serious. First good point for Casio, there is the paper user manual (it's becoming rare) and in at least 10 languages! Once unpacked, I turn it on and start playing.... The touch is good, (even if, like everyone else, I had to quickly adjust the sensitivity of the keyboard), the velocity reacts well. I do a quick tour of the sounds (800 anyway !!!). There is everything, from excellent to very average. All the drum kits, the basses (real or synthetic) are excellent. Pianos (acoustic or electric), strings, orchestral instruments (violins, cello...), saxes and other brass instruments are good. The synth sounds are numerous, varied and of rather good quality. As always, it remains the black point of the guitars. If nylon, steel or even electric clean can illusion, we are quickly disappointed by leads guitars and distortions. I don't blame Casio, these are probably the most difficult instruments to model and, having tried one, even a Genos doesn't do much better. Let's say that to put some palm mute in the background of a rhythm is OK, but no more. For me, it doesn't bother me, my goal being to make backing tracks to put MY REAL guitar on it... But I might as well say it so that future buyers won't be disappointed. Second point, I'm going around the rhythms a bit. Same thing, there is something for every taste, and they are rather successful. If some of them scare me off, it's not that Casio did his job badly, it's just that this musical style scares me away ! (So maybe that means they're successful ? Lol...) The third point to note: sound. Fabulous, nothing else to say. Either via the HP (2*6w at home, it's more than enough) or the headphones. No distortion or saturation, no noise... The drums come out marvelously, the bass is round and deep... Superb. Plugged in my monitoring headphones (AKG K240 MKII), the rendering is really beautiful. Let's now go into the (slightly) negative points... First of all, I quickly found the main use of the score holder: it's an instruction manual holder ! Because I might as well say it, without it we're lost ! even if, in my opinion, Casio is not (totally) at fault. In fact, Yamaha has set up a system, which it has maintained for many years, with its qualities and flaws. Competitors (Korg, Roland or others) have been inspired by it and operate on the same philosophy. As a result, since Casio proposes a relatively different approach, we're completely lost. The system is not so bad or illogical, we just have no reference points, we have to start from scratch... And the "book you are the hero" way of using it doesn't really help. Looks like the chapters were randomly drawn... It's a bit confusing but I think I'll have to have it laminated, otherwise it will wear out quickly 😉 The navigation in the menus and sub-menus is quite .... Hum ... erratic. Several times I've arrived where I wanted to go but I'm not really sure if I can come back to it... I'm groping, I'm discovering. I'm sure, I know, that there are a lot of possibilities with this keyboard, you just have to understand how to do it. Honestly, I've known much worse (yes!). I started composing (in 1990) as a nomad with a Yamaha QY10 (then QY-100). Another time but a very dark one too... I'm just surprised that in 2020, 30 years later, ergonomics is still the last concern of manufacturers. Be also careful with some "peculiarities": you can put things on a USB key, in FAT32, in the MUSICDAT directory... but be careful! No subdirectory or too long file names t... It's like being back under DOS3.11... Tonight, I'll change the firmware in 1.08 (what's new? no idea!) and I try a connection with Cubase... Sorry for being a bit long, but I hope it will be useful 😉 PS: Apparently, when you open a midi from the USB stick, the CTX automatically assigns GM instruments. And I haven't figured out how to change... if someone has the answer...

Hello everyone... Thank you for this information and your experiences... I knew things wouldn't be that simple. I will try some tests this weekend. I think that for the "recent" styles, they are in SFF2 and that they must first be converted to SFF1 ... Here's what I'm thinking of doing: * use a PRS (or STY) style in SFF1, open it with Cubase. * If the markers are well present, I'll modify the instruments associated with the voices, change the midi channel numbers, reduce the number of them for everything that fits with the Casio format. * Then, i'll pass everything in the Excel file (not able to access the VBA code to see what it really does) . * Finally, make one copy in CKF and one in AC7 (since the CTX accepts both). If it works well, I'll do a test with a Tyros style (SFF2), but I'll have to change it to SFF1. I know that even Yamaha users sometimes have trouble between the different keyboard models but there are resources on the web. If you're interested: - https://www.psrtutorial.com - http://yamaha.eklablog.com/ (only in French) - http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/ Later, we will see how to create a style from a midi file...

@Just Alex hello Alex, Interesting idea, it's one of the first things I wanted to try as soon as I received my casio. I like the rock styles of yamaha tyros and big PSRs, even roland so I wanted to try to transpose them for casio. Maybe you can tell us more about how you proceed ? regards...

Hello everyone... That's it, it's ordered. Initially a keyboardist, I switched to the guitar a long time ago. But as time went by, I wanted to go back to an arranger keyboard. After hesitating for a long time, hearing, trying and comparing many models, I finally decided to go for a Casio CTX-3000. Yes, korg and Roland are nice. Yes, Yamaha's are super easy and have a lot of cool styles. And Casio had a toy image. But as I studied the sounds (thanks keyboardcrazy from youtube), and the features offered, I figured that for the price, the Casio seemed the best fit for what I wanted to do. Because while watching the forums and videos, I realized that most of the keyboards were either toys for kids or ultra high-end stations that I didn't need at all. Finally, on many of the forums, a large number of users were either of a certain age or were nursing home animators. Let me explain: on most keyboards, a large part of the styles correspond to needs that are not mine: waltz, cha-cha or 60/70's varieties. I have nothing against these musical styles but I am more zztop, acdc, Pink Floyd or even Metallica or even harder 😉. The idea of a keyboard arranger is for me to facilitate the composition of songs (try out cadences or chord progressions), or to make backing tracks without having to run the whole range of software on the PC. And I realized that most of the demos (from manufacturers or users) stayed in the variety register... So there are tons of Axel Foley or other demos and very few modern things, and even less rock. As for hard or metal.... There you go, so I'll soon join your community. Of course, it seems much smaller than Yamaha's or Roland's but reading this forum, it seems to me active and voluntary. So I hope to be able to bring my contribution and share my discoveries and experiences with you as I go along... Ps: I'm going to try to create lots of rather rock styles, so if any are interested... 😉 PPS: Sorry for my english, it's a google translation...

Hello, I'm considering the purchase of a CTX 3000 but after seeing several salespeople in the store, I'm still puzzled. So I call the owners of a CTX3000/5000 to answer me 😉 * Can I import and export my own styles/rhythms? (some people told me no in store!). * Since version 1.07, I can export accompaniment tracks? * Finally, I saw a "Chord Progression" function. If I understood well, it gives me an automatic chord progression when I launch a style. Is the chord progression attached to the style or can I choose the progression I want? Are these progressions editable? Is there a document that references these 310 chord progressions? Thank you very much for your answers...
