T9c,

I don't think the PX-5S will load MID files into memory, only stream them from USB. The editor will let you import MID files and convert a track from one into a phrase.

I guess part of my confusion with your question was because I was not aware that you could LOAD a MID file. Was there a specification or something you read that made you think this was possible?

Nope, in fact I came to that realization late yesterday as there is no specific procedure in the manual, although the naming convention of "Song Seq", had me thinking it was the same as a midi file. Also, I guess I thought a midi file could be loaded into memory based on what the PX3 can do. Same for the "drag & drop" from a PC. At this point, the editor seems to be the expansion that the board needs to be complete, for me at least.

I have not attempted to load MIDI files in any fashion. Without access to a PX-5S which I won't have for a few days because I'm traveling I won't be able to confirm the procedure.

The PX-5S does not do drag and drop storage like the PX-3 did. Files can only be loaded in through USB storage or through the editor which will be released tomorrow or Monday from what I've heard.

I'll get back to you on the MIDI file issue but that likely wont be for a few days....I'll be absent for a little while.

Thanks Mike. You've answered the folder question. I called tech support and the rep could not figure out the midi file load into memory problem either. As a last resort he suggested trying another USB stick, but I surely doubt the stick is at fault since the SMF file player loads & plays midi files from the same folder MUSICDAT. It seems to be an issue either with my PX5 or all PX5's and at this point I will have to wait and see if the editor will solve the problem. I don't know if all PX5's have the same problem or not as the support rep doesn't have a PX5 to test it on.

I am wondering how to load a .mid file into the internal memory for playback. I can access the files from the USB stick (media) and play them from there, but when I try to access them to save to memory as described on p. 32 (Media Load & seqence or all data), I get the 'no file, pres exit' error msg. These files also load into my PX-3 memory without issues.

 

Also, I am unable to transfer files from my PC (PX-3 again works fine) to the PX5s. Although the CasioUSB device is present,accessible & playable to a midi sequencer or Sonar, I don't get a separate file folder with the 5 like I did with the 3. Win7 x64.

Rick, I've never used that feature. I'll look into that and get back to you.

Mike, above is the orginal post (#26). You say you've never use "that feature".

What does "that feature" mean, exactly? The feature of loading a midi file into the PX5 memory as put forth on page 32 of the User's Manual?

Well, maybe you can say if it is even possible?

Or is it you have never connected the PX5 to a Win 7 64bit PC and expected a file folder for it to appear as the connected PX3 did?

2 distinctly different issues, so "that feature" leaves me perplexed as feeling a little brushed off, frankly.

Hi Mike, I guess my questions in Post #26 got lost in the hex layers. Can you read it and let me know something?

Thanks,

Rick
