CT680.DK Help File
Loading in the file CT680.DK will setup Band-in-a-Box for the Casio CT680
keyboard in Multi-Timbral Mode (Mode B).In Mode B the CT680 can receive 4
different instruments at a time(with 12 note polyphony amongst them). Being
that Band-in-a-Box has some 5 instrument styles, the CT680 will be unable to
play Guitar and String parts from such styles.The polyphony of each channel
refers to the amount of notes that channel will be able to receive in total.
In Mode B, the polyphony of each channel is; Channel 1 = 6 notes, Channel 2
= 4 notes, Channel 3 = 2 notes, and Channel 4 = 4 notes. If any notes get
'cutoff' during a Band-in-a-Box session, the polyphony of each channel
could give some problems.
The CT680.DK file will setup:
1. Drum #'s for the Casio CT680.
2. General Midi Patch Map (assigned to factory settings of the CT680).
3. Startup Patches and Channels in the Midi Settings Window.
To setup your CT680 do the following:
- Ensure that ACCOMP VOLUME is turned UP
- Set the dial used to turn the CT680 on to MIDI (for Multi Voice Mode)
- Press the ORCHESTRATION buttons:Chord1,Chord2,Obligato,and Auto Harmonize
- These four buttons correspond to MIDI channels 1-4
- Midi Channel 1 will be dedicated to Piano,2 to Melody,3 to Bass and 4 to
Drums
- Press the Auto Harmonize button to ensure that the SELECT button shows
the bottom red light is on so it will be setup to play DRUMS.
Please note: DO NOT SEND PATCH CHANGES ON THE DRUMS FROM BAND-IN-A-BOX!
Doing so will result in a pitched instrument receiving what are intended to
be DRUMS.Also make sure that in the Midi Settings window in Band-in-a-Box
that Output Sync/Start info is 'N' for NO or else you'll hear your CT680's
Multi-Accompaniment System start to go.
Ensure that the MIDI OUT of your computer is going to the MIDI IN of your
synth and vice versa. Now load CT680.DK under the MIDI pulldown menu
(Load Alternate Drum/Midi Set).That should be all that need be done to allow
Band-in-a-Box to "talk" with your CT680. If by any chance we haven't covered
everything on your particular synth, please consult your owners manual.
Have Fun!
