How to play with a split keyboard while using the SMF player

 
 
A split tone with waves like wkpnosax.Z06  (can be used to split the keyboard when playing SMF) You can copy this file directly to your PC floppy or Smartcard reader/writer (if you have one) without using the Casio software.

1- Download the wkpnosax.Z06 file into your floppy or Smartcard (if you have a Smartcard reader/writer attached to your PC). Put the floppy or card in your WK or CTK-691 keyboard and use the DISK/CARD button to load the file to the keyboard's internal memory (be patient this puppy takes around 5 minutes to load into your 3000/3500/691 if you use the floppy, less than 2 minutes if you use Smartcard) to one of the Tone with Waves locations starting at 700.  We have the 3000/3500/691 manual "on-line" at the HELP page in case that you don't remember how to load a SMF or Tone with wave into your keyboard.

2- Press the "SMF Player" button. Load your midi file. Press the "Start button".

3- While the file is playing, press the large white "Tone" button and enter the user preset where you loaded the "pianosax1" tone.  If the large blue DSP button lights up, just press it to turn it off.  I think the pianosax1 tone sounds better without effects.

4- Wow! Now you can play a split tone along with your midi file!  The manual says that you can not use the "normal" split button while playing a MIDI file.

5- Step 3 may be by-passed (haven't tried it) if you assign the preset you used to store the pianosax1 tone to midi channel 1 using your favorite sequencing software. Maybe we can get one of you guys to experiment with this! 

If you liked the PianoSax split you might also like the Wk-3500 000Piano and  311Vibe_G
These are first versions of these sampled splits, they will be fine tuned and posted again sometime soon. 

If you have a special split request post it in our forum under "Suggestions and messages for site administrator". 

The above files are .Z06 and can be uploaded directly form your floppy/card without using the Casio Music Data Management Software.
