Bohemian Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I have a GP-300 and for the first time I'm trying to download files from the music library. So I downloaded the file from the music library, and now I'm required to enter a password. What password? I don't see anything related to this in the manual or within the online info. Can anybody help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Which file did you download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Brad Saucier Posted November 13, 2021 Solution Share Posted November 13, 2021 Solved on Facebook. The answer, files from Casio support website which are password protected have instructions on the download page for how to find the password. The password is basically the name of a button on the keyboard, as indicated on the download page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the LSN and PLY files into a CP directory (after following the directions on page EN-50) and uploaded them into my flash drive but I can't play them on the piano so that I can utilize the concert play feature. When I insert the flash drive into the piano, the flash drive display reads "No file." Edited November 14, 2021 by Bohemian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Have you confirmed the flash drive is working properly with the piano? I would try using the audio recorder. That would be a good test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Following instructions on page EN-37 of the manual, the process to record gets stuck at REC WAIT .. After 10 minutes without progressing, I have to assume that something isn't right. As a reminder, I attempted formatting the 32 GB flash drive yesterday and went through the formatting process again today, but both times never received the "Complete" message on the piano's display. However, when I removed the flash drive and inserted into my laptop, I did have a CP folder and a DATA folder. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 After record wait is displayed, the manual says that you should use the left and right buttons to select AUDIO REC. Did you try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yes, I tried that. After seeing the display with "REC WAIT ..." for several minutes, and then pressing > , the display reads, "Mounting Media" and then returns to "REC WAIT ..." and nothing else occurs in the display and the REC button continues to flash. I then give up and press the exit button and pull the flash drive out of the piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The next step would be simply playing something on the piano, and the recording would start automatically. If the recording is not successful, I would try a different flash drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I was able to record myself on the piano and playback on my laptop using the flash drive. However, I wasn't able to get the piano to recognize the file I downloaded from the Casio music library and thus unable to load the file that I placed in the flash drive's CP folder. This is the message displayed on the piano after pressing ENTER to LOAD file: ERROR ... NO FILE ... PRESS EXIT Edited November 15, 2021 by Bohemian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 It appears the files may be in error. I would download and extract the files again. Make sure the file names and extensions remain unchanged from the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I did that and got the result. When I renamed the files, renaming the extensions LSN and PLY as WAV while on my laptop, the WAV version will play a listening version with piano and a play version without piano. So that tells me the downloads are good, The next step was to download the files again from Casio's Music Library and going through the process of placing the LSN and PLY versions on my flash drive. But when it comes down to the piano recognizing the files that would allow me to play along using with the music, I cannot. The display reads REC WAIT and when pressing > I get the "NO FILE" display. I've gone through this twice. As noted previously, when I inserted the flash drive into the piano's port and recorded a short piece, I was successful in recording and playback of the recording back on my laptop.

Brad Saucier Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 To be clear, does the NO FILE message appear after pressing the concert play button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I follow the instructions in the manual page EN-52 "Loading USB Flash Drive Data into Digital Piano Memory" 1. Insert the USB flash drive into the Digital Piano's USB flash drive port. 2. Press the SETTING button. 3. Use the up/down arrow buttons to select "USB FLASH" and then press ENTER BUTTON. 4. USE the up/down arrow buttons to select "Load" and then press the ENTER button. 5. Use the up/down arrow buttons to select a USB flash drive data number. However, I never get to step 5. Instead, after following step 3, the display reads, "Mounting Media" which takes me directly to step 4 in which the display reads, Load. When I press ENTER after Load appears, the display reads, ERROR No file ... Press Exit. I try pressing up/down and left/right arrows but nothing else displays. This is where it all ends.

Brad Saucier Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The files you downloaded are for use with the Concert Play function. Please use the instructions on page EN-27 under the section titled "To play back Concert Play songs obtained with a computer, etc.". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Yes. That worked. Thank you! However, is there a way to control the volume of the playback separately from what I play on the piano? The volume of the concert play overwhelms what I perform on the piano. I would like the concert play to be more in the background and my piano performance more in the foreground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 To lower concert play volume level, follow instructions on page EN-40 under "Configuring Digital Piano Settings" to open settings and adjust concert play volume (page EN-42). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I wish Casio had some instructional videos on how to achieve common "hidden" features, such as how to adjust concert play volume. Too often the instructions force you to navigate by flipping forward and back to pages several times just to determine how to achieve a single feature, and then when you finally think you get there, you're hearing the Listening version and not the Play-along version without obvious instructions on how to toggle to Play-along version, which is the desired outcome.
