How do you "assign" or "explain" what keyboard input the various clips are meant to send? e.g. how do you "tell" the piano app which banana is note c?

The Makey Makey in fact is an alternative for your keyboard. It depends on the software (the piano program) which key should be touched to play a C. The Makey Makey can emulate a bunch of keys (not all). Suppose your piano program plays a C when you press the space bar on your keyboard. With a Makey Makey you can do the same by 1) connecting your C-banana with the contact point labelled "space bar" on the Makey Makey; 2) connecting the piano player (person) with the contact point labelled "ground" on the Makey Makey (and of course connecting the Makey Makey to your computer). When the player touches the C-banana, the piano program produces a C.

There are 4 switch positions: Off...Learning Time....Music Time...Let's Play. Piano keys, when pressed on Learning Time, count up to 8. My 4 key gets stuck sometimes but still works. If yours is not counting past 3 and is just not getting stuck on that number; it could be defective.

I am not a professional so please take it for what it is worth. I believe it has 101 sounds or more, I have the instrument packed away for the moment. I really p I've the piano sounds fantastic to me. I really am not qualified to give you the best advise pertainf this but all the instruments in the keyboard are close to what I know. Hope that helps, you probably better off soulistening to it yourself. If I get a chance to pull it out I will make a video of the sounds. Can't make promises .

Unfortunately you can not record a melody play on the casio ctk keyboard. I hope this helps.

I was definitely a successful user...it paired easily for me. The problem I had, had to do with me using another input app and if I remember correctly this device needs you to use the Android keyboard as the input device...so if you use something like Swift Key you will keep having to change input methods.

I haven't gone that far but the Casio manual for this keyboard indicates "Recording and playing back keyboard play, recording while playing along with a built-in song, saving recorded data on an external device" (pages E-44 to E-48). You may have to ask advanced users if voice recording can be made. I assumed it is possible with microphone hooked to the back of the instrument.

When you plug the Clip into your PC, it becomes a drive. You open My Computer, double-click on the Clip drive, double-click on the Clip Music folder, and then you open another window on your computer and find where all of your older music folders are located. Then, you just select all of your music folders and drag them into the Clip Music folder. When you want to add more music, you do the same thing. Easy! No software interfaces!

The piano will adjust the touch to a degree and compared with many other digital pianos it feels close to a regular piano. The piano does transpose and I used this feature a few times. However, if there is a way to know what key you are changing to, I haven't figured it out. The instruction manual is not thorough. As I said you can change the key but you have very little control as to what key.

Hi Doug, Let me start by saying I am a keyboard player and own several IK Multimedia products. The Total Workstation XL Bundle for PC, Sampletank, iGrand and iLectric Pianos for IOS, and iRig Pre for IOS. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments and I'm very impressed with all of these products. I did try iRig MIDI and here are two issues I found. First; I need to use 2 keyboards in my live setup. I took a standard 5 pin MIDI cable out of one keyboard and into the MIDI input of the second keyboard. I then used the supplied iRig MIDI to MINI plug and connected the iRig MIDI to my iPad. I should have been able to set each keyboard for a different MIDI channel and trigger the sound set up on that MIDI channel in Sampletank for IOS. However, it would only allow me to use one keyboard, or input source, on only one MIDI channel at a time. Using a standard USB 'printer style' cable out of the second keyboard to the iPad Camera Connection kit(plugged into the iPad) solved this problem. I am mentioning this in case you might have two different trigger sources which you need to set to two different MIDI channels. This could be an issue. Which brings me to the second issue; there were supposed to be 2 of the special iRig MIDI to MINI cables which interface with iRig MIDI and 1 USB cable to connect to a USB power supply(which is not included). Problem was that they included 2 USB cables and only 1 special MIDI cable in the box. If I recall correctly there were @ 7 out of 11 reviewers that received the wrong cables, as I did. My best advice is to pick one up and give it a try to see if it will satisfy your needs. But I just wanted you to be aware of a couple of issues which might possibly affect it's overall performance.

I use a Mac, so I can't speak for Windows. After I set up the sensitivity and tuning in the Fishman application, the info was stored in the transmitter. Now I just put the USB receiver dongle into the Mac when needed and all my different softwares (Reason, Logic, Reaktor) see it as a MIDI keyboard without using the Fishman software.

Yes all keys work & I'm not home right now to test it yet I do believe they can be played simultaneously. It legitimately sounds like a real piano/keyboard.

periwinkles:I may be mistaken, but I believe the previous post you referred to was speaking of a piano keyboard being drawn, not a QWERTY keyboard. I have the pen, and think the piano is more of a demo/gimmick than anything useful. Sorry.

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those. In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.
