jjMix Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hi Brad, regarding your comment above on 9/6/2013: "The XW synths, PX-5S, PX-560 and MZX series can do it." I have been struggling to find a way to create a custom drum set on the PX-560, where I can assign drum sounds to keys. A related question would be can the same drum sound be assigned to multiple keys. My custom set is intended to provide a hex layer under the bass guitar hex layer where a low octave note would play a kick, and the high octave note play a snare. The complete zone would be two octaves wide. Would appreciate your thoughts; or from anyone else on the board. Thank you in advance for your time!

Brad Saucier Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It's pretty easy really. Just choose a preset drum kit for upper 1 and press edit. Each key can be edited individually (instrument edit), allowing you to choose any drum kit sample for each key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjMix Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thank you Brad; I really appreciate the quick response. I'll give it a go. Didn't think to Edit a drum kit from a Part. Some of the Casio workflow is very different from other brands. And it's not always easy to tell what is a global setting vs. a registration setting. For instance, I'm trying to globally send only Rhythm parts (9-10) to the right output (Pan R) and Instrument Parts (1-4) to the Left. When I set it up using the Mixer, and save it with the Registration it doesn't work. The Pan assignments hold, but the routing to the Outputs is still in normal Stereo for all Parts. Thoughts?

Brad Saucier Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I don't know of anyone who has tried that scenario. Effects might give you issues doing that, since they are fixed stereo in many cases, unless you have all effects off. Also, rhythms store their own mixer settings, which could conflict with registrations. I think the best way to handle that would be editing preset rhythms, changing the rhythm mixer settings in the editor, then save as a user rhythm.

jjMix Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Okay. Again, thanks for the quick response. Is there editing software for the 560? Doing the Custom Drum Kit key assignment will involve 88x5 presses then a Write.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 No alternative editor exists for it. Everything is done by the internal editor via the touchscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
