Greetings I am looking for some accurate and open source emulation cores of casio synths, iPD and older. If you can find them, please provide links to them in the replies to this post. If you've made one and are willing to allow it to be used freely, please also share it here. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently looking for software specifically for the WK-1800 Synth (wavetable, GT-155F) Here is what I need from it: Can Read, Edit, Play, and Save .ct3 files, as well as the other WK-1800 native file formats (the WK-1800 tone file format) Can directly communicate with the WK-1800 Can save song/midi file, as well as read them can accurately emulate the wk-1800 Direct Playback on Hardware. Vertical Sequencer/Tracker Type Interface, available either natively or as a plugin. can see, use, play, and edit factory and user tones. I've got to have the Casio Tones Communicates via midi (if I have to mod my synth I am willing to, but I do not have equipment to do that with) I am wanting to make some music specifically for that synth, but I have not found any sequencers that can truly utilize or communicate with it. Especially with the strange voice limits it has when using dual-oscillator tones. (Especially multiple of those) I prefer working with trackers/vertical sequencers, but the only trackers I know of that can directly do MIDI are Open MPT and Renoise, one of which is paid, and neither of which I got working with my hardware. (I think IT/Schisim Tracker can also do MIDI, but I do not know how it set it up for them)

I have been very well pleased with my WK-200 since I bought it. The emulations of the Rhodes and Wurlitzer are quite close. The Wurlitzer uses reeds as pickup devices and the typical naming convention that Casio follows is 60s EP. And with the Rhodes, Casio uses a variety of names; E.Piano1, Dyno EP1 and my personal favorite E.Pno1 G (GM). These very closely reproduce the sound of a hammer striking a metal tine; that's how the Rhodes is designed
