Andrew Sage Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 As I said in my previous post, I just bought a CTX3000. Wonder if there are downloadable Yamaha voices and/or styles converted to a format that CTX3000 can use? Or Windows computer software that would allow me to do these conversions myself? Thanks !

Andrew Sage Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 I just bought a CTX3000 and am deciding whether to keep it or return it. Though I like much about the keyboard, I'm disappointed at the lack of good acoustic guitar tones, compared to the Yamaha keyboards I've had in the past. Wonder if there are additional acoustic guitar tones and/or other acoustic instument tones available for downloading and installing on my Casio keyboard, and if so, where I can access them? I looked at the small group of additonal tones on this website and they don't look to be what I'm hoping to find. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 The tones are what they are. Sample data is fixed. The core timbres can't be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Sage Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 Thanks Brad! I'll check out the tones you programmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclandy Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) If you are interested, you may want to check out the Tone Tyrant software, which gives you extensive control over Tone editing. While you can adjust a LOT of stuff with this tool (more so than on the keyboard), from subtle improvements to ridiculous extremes, the quality is still limited by the fundamental samples in the keyboard, as Brad points out. There's probably no adjustment that will give you "even more realistic guitar" (but "better"? Maybe).

Just Alex Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Yamaha voice packs are "locked" - even if your casio has ability to download new sounds, like MZ-X series, you can't extract yamaha voice files from their "package". To be honest, same is for Casio - you can't extract anything from casio voice files. Yamaha styles are easy to convert, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Sage Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Alex, thanks for your input. FYI I have many single voice files for more expensive and less expensive Yamaha keyboards (which use different file formats), saved on a flash drive. I downloaded these years ago from a Yamaha user group, not affiliated with Yamaha. So the voice package issue is not an issue for me.
