Ok  to continue with need for certain midi commands,

I can send midi codes to change patches (instruments) for all four regions Upper1/Upper2  as channet 1/2 etc....

but sometimes i have to use a performance registration where i have the instruments selected and the transpose say +4,, and i often increase or decrease the octives -1, -2 or +1 , +2 some different for each Upper1/Upper2/Lower1/Lower2,,

now if the next song gets different instruments,, i send those automatically, but the other settings described above remain as previous registration,, causes a lot of problems,, my work around has been to hit the GRAND PIANO BUTTON as a general reset at end of the song before 

sending the midi codes for new patches.... Autoresume is off.

how can i reset the whole thing back to 'GRAND PIANO' OR General reset of keyboard (maybe not rebooting) using a midi code(s)

and then i can send my next set of instruments for next song...?

thanks

thank you for your response,,, i use a android tablet to send change patch codes to the 560 without pro blem, so i know it's listening, 

and believe me that is a life saver in a performance to setup the 'next song' ,

but yes reading the midi implantation, i think i'd have better luck loading or creating a midi tune via remote midi than playing it.

so what i may do for performance, is connect the audio out from the tablet to the audio in of the casio 560 and tap a start midi on the app i have on the tablet,, or possible convert the midi to mp3 and use the audio player within my tablet music app to start the converted midi/mp3 file as the desired play point.     and it will play thru the casio ,, and i can of course play along.

there's usually a simple inexpensive way to do it,, or a complex and out of budget way to handle,,,,,,, thanks

What midi commands can i send to say select midi song

001 or 003 for example and play(start) it?

i hope it's that' easy,, i know there are midi commands for song select and start

but i  can't seem to make it happen on my 560

thanks brad,,

Hello,

Been using my Px-560M for about 3 years,, most things i like,  here's my questions your help is always appreciated

1.  I am using Musicsheets on android tablet with usb cable to keyboard usb midi port.  i can change Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower 1, Lower 2 instruments (programs) on channel A

what i dont understand is how to pick a specific registration such as bank 4 , button 3  or as i call it 4-3.....  what channels, settings, codes are needed to send this to set the keyboard?

1a.  codes to turn on an instrument ie,, upper 1 is automaticaly on,, uppper 2 is not,, how to turn on upper 2 by midi command.

1b.  any easier to read docs on midi,, seems confusing, no examples,, 

2.   When i make system changes using the system menu, such as Midi volume, or on the Midi menu,, such as port A,, and turn off keyboard i loose all settings

is this normal,, how can i save my system settings?

   that's it for now,, not bad for first support request in over 3 years!

mike

thanks brad,

i am getting a better understanding, that this keyboard is about quality sounds/feel and performance,, not a synth/workstation...

you said......  

I recently rec'd my new privia 560m and went to the Registration screen, (manual page EN-80)

you are allowed to change banks but it appears if you make a setting for bank 1 , the same settings are applied to the other banks,,

this doesnt seem correct,  i would have thought you would make a change for bank 1 like rhythm=On would allow all registrations in bank 1

use the same rhythm... for registration buttons 1-4 ... so i can have diff settings like tone, but use same rhythm in one song.

am i seeing this wrong,, should there be some ''save'' option for this screen?

thank you

just learning
