Lopato

I'm not sure if this addresses my issue (it may very well and I'm just not getting it yet:). The only thing I want to do at this point is have a setup where I can assign tone patches to different areas of a single bank or other storage location so that I can press one button to toggle through/choose from, say, 16 different tones on the fly in live performance. Splits, layers, etc. are irrelevant at the moment.

I've done very little live performing on my privia and would like to know how to set up a bank of sounds for a gig in advance so I can switch from one patch to another quickly, wihtout having to scroll around. There must be a good way to do that, but I don't know how.

This may seem really stupid, and pardon me if it is, but re: "record digital audio directly to a USB flash drive connected to the USB port", does it matter which of the two USB ports? And how am I recording it onto the drive? Does the S-3000 export the data as some kind of audio file or am I using some software I install onto the flash drive to record the outputted data?

That trick worked! Thanks much! 2 follow-up questions: is the S-3000 multitimbral, and if so, how would I assign different patches to different MIDI channels? Also, when I tried to play a PT MIDI track through the synth and bounce the track with the assigned patch to an audio file in PT, there was a fair amount of noise in the signal. I came out of the 1/4" L and R outs in the back of the synth. Is there a better alternative, like through the stereo headphone out? I assume that would be far worse.

I'm new to sequencing MIDI using my Privia S-3000 as a sound source. I have a Pro Tools file open on my Mac and have assigned an electric piano patch but keep hearing the grand piano patch when I play my sequence in PT. Before, for some reason, I was getting the e. piano patch, but not now. I can't figure out how to assign a particular MIDI channel to that patch.

In both cases, the signal doesn't make it to the destination.

I'm trying to do something very simple: use my Privia as a keyboard controller, but when I connect to an external MIDI device, from either USB output, no signal seems to emit from the Privia. Is there some simple setting I'm not seeing? Can't find the solution in the docs. HELP!
