    I had very bad results with latency via Bluetooth ... use cables only.

    I haven't noticed an intrusive keyboard noise on my 7500. I only have one gripe, and that's the stupid spinning dial for selecting sounds rather than the direct keypad input. What were they thinking!

    The iLectric app nails it -- and I use that IK Multimedia with the iRig Keys Pro but haven't yet figured out how to get it working with the WK (7500) brattonken -- are you using the app with the WK ???
  4. showkster
    Is anyone using the IK Multimedia product called "Sample Tank" with the 7500 ??? Are there tips on getting started ... the tap and click interface is way far advanced and way far easier to use :-) Thanks in advance

    Apologizing in advance for stupid beginner question ... I think it would be swell if someone explained wht the Arpeggio function does, and how to use it. If it's what I think it is, I think I'd really like to use it. :-)

    Seriously???? What were they thinking ??? I read up on this and it just about doesn't make any sense at all. Why did they spend the time implementing that feature when one in a million might use it ... when they should have been spending the time on making the interface and instructions human-readable. Sheesh. http://www.albany.edu/piporg-l/tmprment.html

    >> Adjust the level of the organ channel to suit your tastes. Sorry, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the volume ????

    In the absense of online learning for the CASIO I often look at others. Maybe you've seen Ed Diaz series on Roland ... this one got me inspired so I attempted some arpeggios on the CASIO with disastrous results. . . . https://youtu.be/ycKd0AL-R-s Is there a trick to getting CASIO Arpeggios to work... I thought I followed each step of the instructions but they never came on. At one point the whole keyboard went dead and I had to power down and back up. It's just a shame there aren't better training aids. I sometimes think I bought the wrong keyboard, just to save a few bucks. Signed Bewildered

    hmmmmmm . . . that sounds excellent -- I'm going to try that. . . . thanks. Comment : some of the tones have lingering secondary tones. How are they done? For instance, the Piano-Pad, or Piano-strings will play piano staccato as long as you're playing, but with the pedal held down, the sound will play until you let up on the pedal. So, if I wanted for instance, a piano with soft brass section in the background, would that be created as a user sound as well? What would be the work flow? (Bonnie Raitt's "Guilty")

    BEGINNER QUESTIONS: As a beginner, I'm having trouble trying to figure out a work flow to accomplish the sound I want. Rather than taking a specific "task" the book makes you jump all over from here to there and back again to put together the steps you need ... and there's no transition detail as to what I should do NEXT. I would like a layer that has a marimba and a flute. (Think : Margaritaville) So that suggest that I first must join the marimba and the flute into a "User Sound" before assigning it to a layer. Is that correct? So, how do I accomplish that? The "Creating a User Tone" assumes I"m just creating ONE tone, rather than combining two ... and follows with several pages of stuff I have no idea what they're talking about. ??? Thanking you in advance Fred

    BEGINNER QUETION: I'm trying to add a little organ to an electric piano . . . but the organ overwhelms the piano. I'd like to LOWER the organ (organ is the layer) so it sounds like it's in the background 1) How do I change the volume? 2) Once changed and the saved to a "Registration" is that organ sound volume changed for ever, or does it then return to the normal default? Thanking YOU in advance for any help you can give :-) Fred
  12. showkster
    Okay ... in order for the keyboard to return to normal tuning, rather than selecting a new "Tone" (pressing on "Piano" up under "Tones") I would need to somehow cancel out of the current BANK by doing what? Pressing another bank? (Yes, powering down and back up was the only way to get back to normal piano.)
  13. showkster
    I did save it to the user tones, bank 2 #2 . . . I'm playing in it, when done, I go punch the "Piano" regular tone button . . . but when I do, that tone is 3 octaves low, like the steel drums I set up for the user tone. it's like the User Tone (#2#2) does not quit the octave shift when I select another sound. :-( Not sure I know what you're asking... I press the "Piano" button, or Organ or any of the pre-set category buttons.
  14. showkster
    Okay . . . I set up the keyboard with a split up at the 3rd C so that I'd have piano below, and then could reach up there for the steel drums. I lowered the steel drums 2 octaves so it would be normal although played in the upper 2 octaves. I then saved the setup to bank 2, #2. Works perfectly. EXCEPT It won't come out of that range. When I then return to the normal piano, it's all transposed two octabes LOWER and I cannot get out of it. Have to turn the keyboard OFF and back on to reset. ????

    Is there a way to HOLD a sound when it's in a layer? For instance : I've got a guitar sound, for strumming in one layer, then want to bring in an accordion behind that ... lower, but holding chords. How do I get the accodion to just hold the chord I'm strumming with the guitar sound? (I'm a little concerned there haven't been any other posts since my last on the 5th of August ... is there anybody there? ) :-) Showkster

    I don't understand anything at all about the section E-21 "Selecting a Temperament" . . . is this something I really need to address, or can it slide 'til later?

    A guy in another thread helped me convert this locked PDF into a "Searchable" pdf. So look up the sounds you want, copy and paste into your text file. . . Download Casio's PDF . . . send to : http://smallpdf.com/unlock-pdf it will sent back an unlocked version you can print / search / copy/paste heaven-sent for me.

    What is "Quantize" ???
  19. showkster
    So, what you're saying is that GarageBand is a lot easier. ????? If I could find someone to do training, I would gladly pay them to teach me just the activities I would like to learn. Know of anyone somewhere in the Mid Atlantic U.S. ???
  20. showkster
    Sure . . . I've watched that video a hundred times. Doesn't help much -- it generates fifty more questions related to those operations. I'd be willing to PAY Mike Martin what ever amount he charges to provide live training sessions. I would fly out there to learn.

    Printing, copying, etc. I want to look up the voices, copy and paste into a new "cheat sheet" file for later use. Wasn't it nice of CASIO to provide that fold out broadsheet printed on bible paper with 6 point type so it requires a magnifying glass! Someone should invent an APP that offers search for that entire document. :-)
  22. showkster
    FABULOUS !!! http://smallpdf.com/unlock-pdf worked like a charm . . . now I can easily SEARCH for the sound I'm looking for in the zoomed in PDF and bingo instantly go there! THANK YOU THANK YOU

    The WK3800 had the perfect rotary guitar sound for the Beatles White album song "Don't Pass Me By" . . . but I cannot seem to locate it on the 7500. Ideas???
  24. showkster
    The one I found online is password protected and does not allow manipulating. :-)
  25. showkster
    You'd certainly think that by now CASIO would get the message to improve their manuals. Or give us an adjunct that has bullet point step-by-step for TASKS, or specific operations rather than just describing each function and expecting the user to put them together in the right order. I get so frustrated it's become a barrier to using the instrument for anything other than pre-set defaults. :-(
