How change bank in ct x700 using an external midi keyboard?

[Alexandre Pecora]

Hi

 

I have just got a Ct x700 as a gift. I connected it to a Kurweil sp76 through my pc using Midi. I am able to play the General Midi programs and send program change from the dp76. However, I cannot play any of other patches through. The bank never changes,,always stays at the General Midi one. Is there anyway to select the tones from other banks? 

 

I tried to send bank select messages according to sp76 manual, but only the tone changes still in the General Midi tones.

 

Thx

To select other patches on the synthesizer, with the keyboard midi, along with a program change, you still need to send the MSB value. These values (MSB) can be viewed in Appendix https://support.casio.com/en/manual/manualfile.php?cid=008007003

Hi,

 

Thanks. Yes, I have downloaded that. But how do I translate that into the keys I need to select ( or press) in my SP 76 ?. The info in this manual looks more like computer language to be sent from a computer or midi editor.

 

One I notice: when I play the CTX700 through MIDI, it looks like  a parallel sound board, where only the GM sounds are available. However, I can still use the keyboard any sound when pressing its keys. I mean:

- I play the SP 76 keys, it plays the GM sounds on CT X700

-I play the CT X700 keys, I can still play any sound

 

I think the CT X700 has some great sounds, but I need to find a way to easily play them from an external keyboards.

 

Thanks again
