Hi Antonio,

 

I know that this is an old topic, but if you’re still around on the forum, I downloaded your macro (English version) and tried it out. I was able to convert some Yamaha STY files to the Casio rhythm format. It willl not work with all STY files but the converted files, when the conversion works, can then be uploaded to and read by the CT-X800 (and probably the whole CT-X line of keyboards).

 

I have a question: is this possible to use your macro to open a Casio rhythm file made for older keyboards and manually reassign the voices for the CT-X800? I have tried to open already existing AC7 and CKF files in the macro, but I don’t understand what the macro is doing with them, it is a totally different interface than when you are converting a Yamaha STY file to the Casio file format.

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi,

My macro was not provided for conversion between different CASIO rhyth formats, but you can open rhythm file in it, reassign voices and other parameters and save as AC7 format..

May be it will work))

But, as "T" wrote, modern models can accept older formats to work with them. I have CTK-7000, and it can do this. But, the process is little more complex (CKF becomes to not an original AC7), but generally it's true 

Already transated:

As I wrote, my macro is not Yamaha-to-Casio, but MIDI-to-Casio converter. So yamaha style recognizion is only a sweet option))

And because of more wide features of Yamaha styles, precise conversion Y-to-C in most cases is impossible.

But this is an ancient version of macro, i'm working for version 3, with more wide capabilities.

Meanwhile, meet the translated version of macro.

Use the CURSOR RIGHT ( > ) / LEFT ( < ) buttons to select the Channel (instrument) you want to turn off.  Make sure the word "Part" has a large blue dot to the left of it, and the word [[ on ]] is in heavy brackets.  If not, use the CURSOR UP ( ^ ) button to highlight that line.  Press the minus ( - ) button to turn the Part OFF or the plus ( + ) button to turn it back on. 

You can use sliders with setting "9-16" instead "<",">", "-" & "+". It's more flexible.

ОК, Richie. i'll try to explain

1. Copy factory rhythm to user rhythm.

To do this, select the factory rhythm (source), press Pattern Editor, then (F+)menu, then Store, Select empty User Rhythm (target) slot. Press Enter (if slot isn't empty - will be prompt to repalce it)

You have read only user style

2. Make needed part to be editable

select pattern (e.g. Normal) by rhythm controller buttons, select part - Bass by < > buttons. Press Function+Pattern sequencer.

In menu, select Part Edit -> Copy, Select Rhythm from source factory rhythm, and pattern and part needed to edit.  (Sure?Yes)

3. Edit part conversion table (as well as other parameters)

Return to menu (1 exit) and select PartPara. Change Table to 04. Press Exit until Store. Change slot to target user rhythm (as in p.1) Press Enter Replace?Yes

Conversion table is changed to bass f-root

I hope it will help

Try to edit a style with f-root conversion table for bass part

i tested my own suggestions..

the 2th one doesn't work. this command sets up "Chorus1" effect

the 1st works bad when autoaccompanent is used - when it starts, mixer drops at style default values.

i can offer 3rd option: you can set in mixer DSPLine to the part which don't use (for example 16). Then, in other parts Chorus will switch off

Ric, try this:

1. In the mixer, set chorus level for all parts to 0. The mixer settings should override tone settings.

2. From the external midi device (for example PC with DAW or MIDI OX) send the message:

F0H 7FH 7FH 04H 05H 01H 01H 01H 01H 02H 00H 00H F7H

something of it can help.

But, why do you want to switch off the chorus entirely, not for a particular part?

My question:

is anybody had success with run CTK-7000 and XW-G1 under Win10 ?

Hi Richard. It works (exactly as Brand wrote), i used it yesterday ))

The key point is to not release button "store" while pushing the number of registration button.

(Like "Ctrl+" in PC)))

Hi,

the implementation of DSP for Melodic polyphonic sounds looks like the one of Casio 7-series models:

https://yadi.sk/i/VOaFOB7YkNDmo

it is possible via using a computer with a DAW, or midi mapper (like MIDI-OX) program

be sure, that an option Local On is set

Hi, you should use the mixer. 1st part - normal, 3rd - split 

Search "PDF Password remover" in web. It works!

Hi! You can add tones only created for CASIO 6x 7x series. Or create them yourself via Tone Editor.

I made this program in VBA Excel because it was more easy to me than in VB -  legal Excel is more available in Russia, than Visual studio. And make programs in it is more faster ))

Also i made converter for my personal use, i didn't know, that it will become so requested.

I transformed some earier version of VBA converter to EXE by request of Casio-Russia (it is non-trivial job), but i can't distribute it due copyright obligations.

i didn't get any error like this. May be, it is related somehow to your chinese locale.. How you can use only Russian? May be, English version of Windows helps you? Or some of old versions of Excel (e.g. 2003)

Perhaps, you have to permit macro running in Excel settings

Hi.

Maybe, you try to open STY file with SFF2 format. If not, send me this file i'll see 

it seems like it is multitrack file, but with channel to set to 1 on each track - it is how my sonar shows me a song and tries to "Save As" midi 1 file.

but events in midi can have their own midi-chanels. and its strange thing, that converter got confused with it - sty files are also midi 0, but they are converted ok (SFF1)

to download a cakewalk or sonar - is good idea.

instruments you can change directly on keyboard, but i didn't like a resulting harmony of chords.

keep in mind, that you can load "par" file to reuse my converision parameters, insted to setup yours ones.

Pro tools converted file in strange way - all tracks are only in channel 1

set proper channels in protools

little window in the picture is "extra conversions of notes" - is shown by pressing bottoms in lower row "Задать" / "Задано"

you have to setup the converter settings like this:

https://yadi.sk/i/s4C1JxrdgUJHr

(using A and B variations)

some examle of style

https://yadi.sk/d/7VKxzgttgUJHp

but - i wrote it  yet - yamaha styles are more complicated than casio styles and not fully compatibles

so the result style sounds like kakophony

It's difficult to help you without seeng the source midi.

What shows style "preview" button? also blank sheet?
