stevecoscia Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'd like to copy and paste segments of my User Presets and it looks like this can't be done within the PX-560M. But, is it possible to export a Use Preset (as a MIDI file), copy and paste segments and then reload this revised file back into the PX-560M?

Brad Saucier Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Steve. Can you be a little more specific? What are you referring to when you say user preset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hello Steve-I think you re asking about the preset arrangements with the chord progressions automatically built into the factory "presets" as in Page 46 in the manual-and the ones you can modify or create and save as a user preset. If so, I know of no function on my 560 that can do anything further than saving your custom user presets as a Casio .ZMP file. I'm not even sure these can be recorded to external software in real time, never tried that and that is not what you are asking about I think. I looked at the manual and it does not specify if the music preset arrangements send out the data to the midi out ports, will have try it. If so, at least you could record your preset in real time, save it as a midi file and edit it with software. But then it can not be saved as a .ZMP-I know of no Casio or any other editor that can do this type of conversion. All you could do is play it back into the 560, or import it as a midi file to play with the 560 midi song recorder which does play midis. I have done that, have a huge collection of .mid's on my thumb drive-most are playing pretty accurately in terms of GM sounds anyway. Whether the presets will record, save as a midi file and play back accurately to the 560, never tried that either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoscia Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks Brad and Jokeyman, for the quick reply. Yes Jokeyman, you got it right - that's what I was trying to do. It didn't hurt to ask, right? I have since begun the job of expanding a 100+ measure preset by inserting lots of new measures and doing a bunch of button pushing. Happy days. Take care, guys.

Jokeyman123 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 No problem, great board but can't do everything. Doesn't iron my pants! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoscia Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 One more thing. Presets are the most fun part of the PX-560M because I can set up a rhythm section of chord progressions and jam along. The ability to include fill-ins would be a valuable preset addition to make things more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Steve- Following up on this. I monitored midi output (with Midiox) when playing back presets-and got no response at all. Just to double-check-I ran an auto-accompaniment rhythm, monitored with Midiox-and ll midi channels I expected to send did so. Apparently the preset songs do not send midi data out, so not even able to record these to midi, only as audio. Sorry I couldn't give you better info. I've been penciling down some of the more difficult chord progressions to practice-the Coltrane progression is pretty mind-blowing at tempo, eessshhh! Old-fashioned, but it works.
