dama Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Is it possible to dedicate a stage setting to trigger sounds from another keyboard? I have been using my my Nord E3 and my px-5s together via midi. When I want to trigger the Nord sounds I need to change some of the the settings in my Casio's Midi menu (local off and midi key, etc). It would be great to just have all that information stored in a stage setting, so just a push of that button would allow me to switch back and forth easily. Thank you, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Absolutely! This is one of the PX-5s strengths. Each zone in a stage setting has independant midi settings. Each zone has local off. Called "Gen Out". Edit>stage setting>zone edit>midi edit>......(adjust the settings and exit edit mode) Write the stage setting. Gen out> turns on/off internal soundsMidi out >switches midi din outUsb out >switches usb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dama Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just need some more information regarding a stage setting dedicated to midi triggering of my Nord.Brad, thanks for your help in the last post and I realize it's been a while since I wrote back. I must be missing something since, I am not getting any sound with these settings. Triggering the Nord works when I change the midi setting in the System Settings menu, but I can't seem to get it working with changing the settings within a particular stage setting. The Midi light on my Nord is not flashing as it should and no sound is produced. I have:Gen out - offMidi out - offUsb out - off Prog & Bank Out (Prg) or (Bnk) or (Off) Is there something else? I'm using the Air E. Piano1 for this stage setting I want to change. All the other zones are set to off. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm confused - you have MIDI out *off*? Maybe you're describing something else, but wouldn't that need to be on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dama Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I've turned back on "midi out". I'm still not getting any sound. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppin Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 what is plugged into what and how (5 pin vs USB)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dama Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm using a Midi 5 pin cable. Nord "Midi In" > Casio "Midi Out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Can you send MIDI info to the other keyboard with other Stage Settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 @dama Make sure: [sys Settings] > MIDI > MIDI Out [Key] [EDIT] > Stage Settings > Zone > MIDI Edit > External Channel Out [whatever channel you select] Nord must be able to receive this channel.[EDIT] > Stage Settings > Zone > MIDI Edit > Genterator out [Off]... MIDI Out [On] Use the zone + and - keys to switch between the 4 zones of the stage setting and change the settings. You'll see a Z1, Z2, Z3 or Z4 in upper right of the display as you change zones. [Write] the stage setting after making you changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
