Thank you so much for these detailed instructions! I've had the CT-X800 for over a year and I don't know how I overlooked this great feature! The manual is not very clear about this either and it says nothing about exporting track1 / all others separately. By any chance can you recommend a MIDI software that can be used to combine and edit the two exported MIDI files? (MacOS or Linux options preferred!) I'm trying with Crescendo and MuseScore3 and my frustration is just growing. I wonder what happens if you record track 1 empty and use the other tracks 2-6 for actual notes. Then you'd only have to export one time. I will try this and see what happens. Again, thanks a lot for sharing this!

I just bought the CTX-800 mostly for budget constraints. Clearly an entry level keyboard, mostly meant to have fun with but nothing serious. I'm dealing with a few frustrations due to limited capabilities for recording and layering. But the limitations also force me to explore different layers to achieve richer synth sounds. I'm curious to hear why you are a big fan of the CT-X models in any case. Assuming you mean the higher-end CT-X5000.

I do kinda have my own set of tone combination. Can't promise you to emulate synths on famous songs like the ones you mentioned, but nevertheless I'm happy to share some of my favorites that kinda sound like 80s synth pop / new wave stuff. U1: 350 Poly Saw U2: 184 Mellow Strings L: 145 Synth Bass U1: 252 Brass Saw Pad 2 U2: 183 Stereo Strings U1: 169 Synth brass 3 U2: 272 X Synth lead 1 or 275 X Synth lead 4 / 276 X Synth lead 5 (all these sound great combined with 169) L: 171 Synth Bass 5 U1: 331 80s SySynth2 U2: 188 Slow String or 185 Mellow Stings 2 Hope you get a change to try them and post some of your own.
