Different tones??????

[tawasgary]

How is everyone on this snowy afternoon? From Michigan! I have learned alot and I mean alot from this fornum and thanks for the info! Ok here goes. I play a Casio WK-3700. I play once a week at retirement homes a nursing hormes. I play alot of Doo Whop-Country-Swing etc. I would like to know of how I can set my keys to get a better guitar sound and whatever you guys have to share. I use the steel-12 string and acct. mostly for my country and for the R & R alot of sax and horns. Anything you guys can suggest for the auto accomp. to give me different sounds and neat things. Thanks guys I wish I was younger (62) maybe I would understand this stuff more so I wouldn't have to ask. LOL Also the WK-7500 would be nice. I play through a Peavy V60 and dig-e-tec for vocals! Thanks ladies and guys! have a great day!

Sorry folks!!!!!!!!

Bad question I guess!

Bad question I guess!

No not a bad question, sounds are very much a personal thing and taste. The only thing you can do, if the model keyboard let you, is tweaking the sounds to your taste and save them in memory banks. But I am not familiar with your model.
Yes the WK7500 is a very nice keyboard for its price but has, as they all have, pro's and cons.
Coming from many years of Yamaha and still have them, I find the OS of the Casio a complete different thing and complicated to learn. (I am by 7 years you senior) Yes there was a time things went easier into the grey cells but I have forgotten when that was
Just have fun with the music!

Do you mean the actual tone (voice of instrument) or the backing?

Have you been to the download site for the 3700?

Ya the tweaking of the sound! I just find it very interesting when folks take there instrument and try to come up with different or tweaked tones. Like a steel guitar and maybe a lead guitar in country and sound tweaked 50's and sixty rock backings. I have downloaded I think everything from Casio that I can even some WK 3500 stuff That sounds Ok but some of the stuff doesn't quite work on the 3700. I just thought maybe we could share sme tweaked things we do. I wish I knew how to use the snys. more to do some of these things. But just don't understand what some of those things do. That is why I come to this site EVERY DAY. Well thanks guys! I tried using the midi tto download different tone from like Yamaha etc. But just can't figure out how to get that stuff to my board.

If you mean that you are trying to download voices and styles from Yamaha into a Casio???? Forget it, as far as I know that doesn't work. A good working and simple covertprogram doesn't excist (yes for many $) and It is what I am looking for as well.

Yes you can tweak them as a midi but I haven't been very succesful with it sofar.

You need a voltmeter to check your adapter. Here is another tone: a sampled Roland Guitar http://www.box.com/s/2vq225l1xajke0vztcks . It has default parameters, I usually just turn off DSP, and lower the reverb to 10-20.

Tried the Steel Guitar! Sweet Thanks again going to try the Roland now! Any other please share if you don't mind!
