Lennie James Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Regarding the PX-360M, There are TEN (10) missing registration presets on the "Piano Rhythms" Percussion Selection Menu. Seems 011( Piano R&R) to 020 ( Waltz 5) are "deaf blank" and were NEVER " programmed in." This was verified many months ago with the New Jersey Casio Tech Dept guy I spoke to. He said he would contact someone in Japan about it, but never got back to me yet. So, how can I possibly restore them (whenever available)..without compromising my 96 customized registrations? Or, this is a totally separate configuration issue, and I will not even have to worry about it. I don't know how Casio even let this go by them, without proof testing ALL of the original initialized spec settings..before they actually released the PX-360M. Need some feedback/advice/opinion on this. THx...Lennie James/Newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi Lennie. According to a footnote in the user manual for the PX-360, the precise rhythm presets you mentioned won't create sound until a chord is played. See the manual excerpt below. Could this be what you're experiencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie James Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'll have to check this out, but normally..any percussion selection rhythm selected on the PX-360M plays by itself, without any music (upper 1 /upper 2/ voice selected. Just coordinates with a metronome beat number selection while playing. This occurs in 001 to 010 at all times (without chords or individual notes played). In the same manner, by pressing 011 to 020, the same response should occur. The manual never indicated that in this register area, that chords MUST be played in order for these "Piano Rhythms" to be heard. Again, not near my keyboard now as I am replying..but will check it out. THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 What is happening-at least with my PX560/350, is that the "piano rhythms" are just that-piano parts that will play as accompaniment patterns-as if you were playing a piano arpeggio or some variation-these do not trigger any other accompaniment sounds such as drums, other instrument parts-only a piano part. i guess this was done as an aid to playing a full 2-hand piano part for those players who haven't mastered this concept yet-or as if you want to play a full 2-handed piano part with a 3rd "obliggato" part playing automatically-this is a common function of several of the Casios in that section of the rhythms. Both my PX560 and PX350 have piano rhythms designed this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie James Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 This is now true and proven to be as previously indicated. Those missing Piano Rhythm tracks 011 to 020 require the simultaneous accomp.rhythm button to be depressed for activation. Sad to say, I will not be able to enjoy them separately..like 001 to 010 . But that is how Casio intended, I guess. But, thx for clarifying the mystery for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
