Does anyone know what songs the Casio arrangers had in mind with some the POP Presets?

 

I've guessed at a few, here's my attempt but please comment and let's help fill-in my queries and for everyone.   Someone in Casio Tokyo must know all

these, but perhaps they're 'gagged' for copyright reasons?

 

POP Presets:

001 Soft Pop   ???

002 Winter Pop   ???

003 Oldies Pop   ???

004 Alpine Flora = Edelweiss

005 Gypsy =We've got to get you a woman ?

006 Rain Pop= Rain drops keep falling on my head

007 Movie Waltz   Lara's theme Dr Zhivago

008 Funky Pop=Respect

009 Love Pop =You can't hurry love

010 60's Pop= The Loco Motion

011 Rising Sun=House of the rising Sun

012 Pop Ska   =Ob La Di Ob La Da

013 Weep Blues=While my guitar gently weeps ?

014 Cartoon ?

016 My Life   ???

017 Blue Love =Love love my love is blue?

018 Xmas Pop   ???

019  Shuffle Pop1=Day dream believer

One of them is "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel. There is another Billy Joel song in there too but I can't remember which one nor can I remember which presets.

 

Note: I'm basing this on the presets in the PX-560, which are a subset of those in the MZ-X instruments. But I'm not near it right now to check.

Since Funky Pop is Respect on the CGP-700, I would guess that's what it is on the MZ-X. But I've never heard the MZ-X version so I could be way off.

 Yes 008 Funky Pop on MZ-X500 thanks

I don't have my keyboard yet  - but I would guess that 15 Carol would be "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond and that 16 My Life would be the Billy Joel tune "My Life"

Latin rock2 in latin presets with new Pop cha cha  rhythm and proper chords is pretty good for Sade Smooth Operator. As it comes with latin rock rhythm it seems  to me close to Carlos Santana Smooth.

I am so glad I found this post !

Got myself my first Casio keyboard  CT-X3000 and stumbled across this puzzle: what each song title means in Music Preset List ?

Can figure couple of them, but most is not descriptive at all.

I just sent e-mail to Support asking if they can provide more information.

 

Is some body willing to post update list, so we can can move from there ?

Hi, are the music presets of the CT-X keyboards the same  as on the MZ-X boards? It could be useful to make a list as complete as possible for all the songs, for personal enjoyment as well as for education purposes.

 

If the list is the same on both line of keyboards then I am in (or at least if the same"cryptic" names on the MZ-X and on the CT-X are referring to the same songs).

 

I'll post my findings here.

 

Regards.
