Most of that is beyond my comprehension at this point, but some of you may find it very interesting. You can read more about what it does here: It also allows you to access files on an SD card on your computer instead of a keyboard.
They won't talk to the CTK-4000/5000 directly, but they include a rhythm editor and CKF SMF format conversion tool. You might also be interested in their IDES (Internet Data Expansion System) programs for other keyboard models. With the 200 included in the keyboad, that's 628 rhythms, far beyond anything being offered in their latest 60 models. Here's the links to the individual packs of rhythm files if you don't want to click through all the pages to find them:ĭoing a binary file compare with the ones available at the first link mentioned to get rid of any duplicates, with these 3 more zip packs, it comes to a total of 428 unique rhythm files. I found them under "Music Data Downloads" here:
On the Euro Casio site they have them available in zip packs for each keyboard model number. UPDATE: I found some more, and a utility to edit them all. If anyone gets a higher count than that, let me know if I missed any. I'm now wondering if I might have missed some before.
So raise that count to 179 Free Extra Rhythms. A few have different byte counts, drastically different. I just did a binary file compare of some with the exact same filenames from different keyboard models. No need for a PC to load them, take them with you. The keyboard recognizes that file-extension just fine too. I just found out that you can also save them as-is on your SD card and load them from there. These will probably work for the CTK-4000 too, because both models use the same manual, the only main differences being the SD card and pitch-bend wheel. I suggest using your favorite batch file-downloader to cue them all up from the resulting URL that opens up when you click on each "Data List" button. Even though some for different models of keyboards may be named similarly, but prefaced by RHY_, they are different rhythm arrangements. Some of them are very nice!īe sure to get all of them. They all include intros, fills, variations, and lead-outs. But Casio's Data Manager for this keyboard recognizes them just fine, and sends them to the User Rhythm slots, numbers 201-210. They have a CKF file extension on them which isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation on the CTK-5000 for allowable file-types. None of the tone and other files there work (except for the few SMF MIDI files), but ALL the rhythm files work just fine. But I found no files for the CTK-5000 there. I went to the URL listed in the manual, where you can supposedly download extra tones, tunes, rhythms, etc. Just a heads-up for you CTK-5000 (& CTK-4000) owners. 428 Free Extra Rhythms (& Rhythm Editor) for Casio CTK-5000 & 4000
