Omg! This sounds better than some works on C64 (SID chip)🎹😄

Although for now there is a small collection of sounds and rhythms, in the future I hope that this base will grow over time, so that together we can create a library of sounds, rhythms, software and useful tips. Anyone who knows something more, better and has the will, please feel free to post a link here, so that new users (like me) can find solutions to their questions faster. I see that there are such subtopics on the forum, but "navigation" is quite difficult for me due to the multitude of solutions that are intertwined with other topics.

So that's it. All we can do is create our own base of sounds and rhythms... there is no compatibility with any well-known standard, except MIDI, which is also questionable in terms of compatibility. Although some studio MiDi files sound quite solid on CT-X keyboards, there is still no SysEx compatibility, and in DAW programs you have to resort to using the keyboard, because, surprise surprise, it is incompatible with most software. Perhaps this forum is therefore the only oasis of insufficient support for Casio keyboards anyway. As for my ct-x 3000, of the eight hundred sounds it "boasts of", about 20-30 are usable. The rest needs to be tweaked, as well as the rhythms, which lack "width and fullness". On the other hand, for the low price, it is expected.

True story bro 👍 But still, so those who bought the CT-X series of "arrangers" remain without software support? I'll do some more research, and if I can't find something satisfactory software-wise for my CT-X 3000, I'll unfortunately have to sell it or trade it for a Roland. It is true that you can "program" a new sound on it, or edit an existing one, as well as arrange new rhythms...but, alas, you have to spend an entire afternoon for two or three sounds.

This should not be a problem for advanced computer users (especially if they have been in this "world" since the early eighties ;)). However, musicians and producers, who are less skilled at programming, would find it very difficult to work in such an environment. It's a shame that Casio no longer makes tools like their WK series, where it was simple and visually easy to edit music and rhythms. The golden age of the nineties, floppy disks and zip drives

Thank you for your response. So, nothing concrete and usable for now. And if I were to use AC7 rhythms, which are somewhat compatible, the sound landing on individual channels would have to be adjusted, so that it would sound better on the CT-X machines. Although I am not familiar with the new keyboards, but it seems that one could edit the sound and rhythm on the CT-S500 and then switch to the CT-X 3k for example?

Greeting! I have no intention of researching because there is no time, so I directly ask the question: Is there any kind of rhythm converter for the ct-x 3k, in order to use rhythms from a Roland or Yamaha keyboard? I don't mean any Excel or HEX editors, but real visual ones for users who know what they want. If Casio hasn't made such software YET, maybe someone can give me a link to a rhythm editor (sound editor too if they have one) from another manufacturer. Thanks in advance!
