[drefinco1]

I recently purchased a midi cable for my casio 630.I tried to hook it up to garage band to know avail although I was advised that this would work.do you have any suggestions for software that would work with my mack and suzuki omnichord? is there any freeware that you could recommend?

[ThomasSaPe]

[skunkradioDOTnet]

[jumpn5]

wow, what a casio ctk 530 will do, still give youself so credit, enjoyed.

[RuiCarinhoso]

Olá. I have one but I dont know how to use the midi function could you help me? By the way you play well but how did you get that super sound my dont have such quality in guitar. Thanks.

@RuiCarinhoso

This sound is not from that old keyboard, but from external instrument. I have just pluged this Casio to computer via MIDI interface. It is quite simply: you only need to have some sound generator (like software or hardware synthesizer for example), MIDI cable for connection and you have to turn off local sound (the original Casio sound) - it is now used only as data entry device ;)

[hallowgrave23]

@Paastj Where did you get the midi drivers for the ctk-530 i cant find any...

[otofcontroll]

i found one of these collecting dust in my basement, i still have no clue how to use it

[andrasmilan]

oh...i don't have that option on my piano

:((...but i have casio ctk-230 :((

[MASTERUDY]

YOU ARE AN IMBECIL!

[MrKeys57]

does it have MIDI?

[Paastj]

@MrKeys57 Yes, sure it has. I thing that without MIDI and external sound generator it would never play such sound :P

[musicroman]

Good demo

[frigthename]

are you playing keyboards or drums, heavy handed twat

[Paastj]

As you obiously know, playing technique depends a lot on the keyboard you use, the kind of music, the timbre of instrument and of course your moood. In this video I used an old keyboard with very poor keys. In fact, playing normally, like in a standard piano, is simply uncomfortable here. It is better to hit the keys, like slapping strings.

@frigthename

You mad?

[spamburger346]

dude, i pick one of these up cheap, no power supply though,

i got an equivalent. but it wont turn on, i resaudered the power connections. but still no power, can anyone help me?

[360pezza1]

yeh, buy a Yamaha.

[Paastj]

maybe the polarization is wrong I don't know,

360pezza1 is right, buy a yamaha.

[apollosucker]

anyone please can tell me how to load midi files into ctk 720 if it is possible please pm me i want to learn so much..

[Paastj]

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea if it is possible to do this. I don't have this keyboard.

[Rimmer66]

Your using the M-AUDIO USB TO MIDI Uno thing ? I have one of those too I use it with my CASIO CTK 601 and it works GREAT! Most new keyboards now have built-in USB MIDI !

[Paastj]

I am using E-MU Xmidi 1x1, which is quite similar to your interface. And I have also a digital piano and it has a built-in usb midi, but no "normal" midi connector unfortunately.

[Paastj]

Thank you. I have used FM8 there. Unfortunately I don't have Vsampler. But recently I bought a new pedal keyboard, so I stopped using my old Casio as a midi controller (I have only one-port midi-usb interface). I'm going to post some new video with it, but first I have to practice playing it more properly.

[speedfinger63]

... and if you using Vsampler3, j have one great Roland XP30 distorsion sample, j can send you if you are interested.

[speedfinger63]

great job man! witch software you use? J use old casio too as MIDI controler and work mostly with FM8 and Vsampler.

[Paastj]

Thanks. Yes, it is a PC software. I just connected my casio to PC using a midi-usb interface and that's it.

[Paastj]

Thanks. Yes, you're right, I used it as a midi controller. That Casio itself would never produce that sound.

[coolbandit111]

is that the actual sound of the casio or is there a midi proccessor? good guitar solo :)
