Hi Choppin Thanks for your reply - yes, I've just found that I can send generic GM sounds to any MIDI channel from the A500 and that is basically my aim. I now need to plan my stage settings as well so that I can drive 1-4 where required from the A500. I have a few other questions about programming the A500 but that's for another forum but I haven't yet found anything for Roland to compare with the Casio stuff! Thanks again for your replies. Best Kevin

Thanks, Choppin. I tried assigning - MSB 112 LSB 0 (or blank) PC (53 for the GM VOICE DOO from the tutorial manual Tone List) MIDI channel 5 - to one of the controllers on the A500 but couldn't seem to get it to play the sound. Still doing something wrong. Coincidentally, Dave Curtis has just put up a similar post on the FB page with good replies at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Casio.Px5s/permalink/1157121584413418/ - there are couple of things in there I will need to try but otherwise, will have to find a similar A500 forum with such great community support as for the PX5S. Thanks, again

I've just bought a Roland A500 Pro to hook up to my PX5S (and of course a DAW at some stage) and am starting to work on the basics of driving zones - so I've managed to play with setting the zones off/on for the PX5S but realising that, even when off on the PX5S, they can still be driven by the A500. But does anyone know if it is possible to assign a PX5s tone/stage setting to a channel other than 1-4 so that I can then drive that from the A500? In my limited logic, this would mean that I could assign up to additional "patches" to be driven by the A500. Or is it not as simple as that? I've exchanged some points on the FB page and it seems it may not be possible but just wondering if I can get a definitive answer here/ TIA, Kev
