Sorry mate, it will only save styles etc as a smp file, only user songs can be saved as a midi file. That's what the manual is saying anyway. Cheers

Hi, hope this works for you. Cheers. SMPL001.QSF

I managed to export the sample, but it is the QSF file format, not sure if that will do it for you.

Sorry, I should learn to read.lol. Did you want me to try and send you the midi file for it? Cheers

Hi, where are you seeing this voice? in my 463, organs are numbered 19 to 33, but there are no ''high life'' voice listed. Not quite sure what you are requesting of me?

Sorry Casio, your manual and menu goose chase is a disaster, this thing is going back to the shop. Shame really, has some great sounds, if it would be a little easier to fine tune them to ones liking. I should have done more research on the model before purchasing, because the number of negative appraisals regarding the operating system would have steered me away. At least the dealer has accepted the return without hesitation, and understood my concerns regarding the button pushing required to do even the basic of changes, admitting that it is a complicated instrument. I have decided to go for the Korg EK50, a recent model from Korg. The reviews are excellent, and is claimed to be better than the Casio, and even the Yamaha PSRE463, which I also own. I hope I have better results with the Korg, as it is claimed to be more user friendly in the menu department.

Yes, makes sense to have both brands on hand I guess, but this CTX3000 menu layout is still doing my head in after using it for 2 weeks. Many of the functions require better explaining than what the paper manual does. I think the manual assumes that the user would understand the Casio "system", but if you have been a Yamaha user all along, it is very confusing just to do basic functions. To be honest, only for the excellent sounds, well, most of the ones I use, it would have been going back to the shop. Going back across to the Yamaha, setting up patches etc, is a breeze, but I will persevere with it until I either learn it, or offload it.

Yes, correct, that's why I went out and purchased the Casio, so, I will just have to learn the damn menu system of it.

I would go for the 463 Yamaha if you wish to have nice piano sounds.

Right on the money here. I am glad I didn't sell off the Yammie 463, as the piano eats the Casio for breakfast. Casio piano doesn't even get a run here. Tried to ''pretty it up'', but decided to just keep the Yamaha close by for it's piano. The nylon guitars in the Casio do excite the ears though, but the menus? Why Casio? Why?

Thanks for that, I seem to be making progress with it, just trying to get the octaves set differently for the upper and lower keys. Have set a split point up, F4, but it will change the upper octave, but not the lower.

Hi all, new here, just purchased the above instrument and trying to negotiate some of the functions. The main area of my problems are that I cannot get the layer function to work as per the manual. I have read, and re read and to no avail. Maybe someone has found a solution to it, as I have hit a dead end and switched it off for now. After coming across from a different brand, which I still own, I find navigating the function menus to be a bit more than ''tricky''. Maybe I will get my head around it a little better as time goes by. Any help would be much appreciated. I must be doing something wrong with the layering of tones, but I have the manual opened in front of me, and doing it to the ''word''.
