Hi There,
I just bought a Casio Wk 500 and I need to create my own Rhythm. I need a specific Persian 6/8 Rhythm.
I know I should had bought a model which has "Pattern Sequencer" (ie, WK7500) but I realized this too late. My mistake was when I looked at the WK 500's manual before buying and I saw "Edit Auto Accompaniment" feature, and I thought that is the feature I need but it was too late when I realized that I just can only use one of the existing parts of the existing Rhythms (Drum/Bass/etc) to edit the current one. So ie. I can not play my drum and have it recorded and then use it as a drum part in the Rhythm
I would return it and get a 7500 instead if I were in US but I a have imported it from US to Canada and the shipping was very expensive. so I have to pay the shipping back too if I want to return, so this does not work for me.
If I could make my rhythm in Midi and then convert it to AC7 format ( which is the format that this device reads as Rhythms and not the CKF) then that would be great. I have spent quite a time to find a solution for this but no luck so far.
Does anybody knows:
1- How to create a Midi rhythm ( with Channels 9-10-11-12-13) ? Which free software I can use ( sorry if its a dummy question but I have not used a midi software yet )
2- How can I convert the Midi file to AC7 file? The casio convertor application does concert it to CKF and not to AC7 and ckf is not useful for this model.
3- How can I transfer the AC7 file to the Keyboard? Can I just copy it to the SDcard and then read it to the keyboard?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you,
Shaya
