RE: [CZsynth] HT-6000

The different parts are on consecutive midi channels, depending on the keyboard mode (no split, split, Casio Chord).  As far as I know, drum sounds can't be triggered by midi, but internal patterns can sync to midi clock.

I have a service manual, you can get it from http://www.wdgreenhill.com/ but it's a bit expensive.  It doesn't include anything about the RAM card, but the connector pins do appear on the schematic, so you may be able to figure out something from this.

There's a self-test mode: hold Upper Tone buttons 1-3 and press Chord Off.  On the display it should say "CASIO" then "HT-6000" then "Good" then show each display segment and automatically turn off.  "HT-FAIL" indicates an address error, "FAIL" indicates a RAM error.

Subject: [CZsynth] HT-6000



















    
            Hi everybody! A few weeks ago I bought a Casio HT-6000 synthesizer. I

managed to clean it thoroughly and after replacing some switches and

cables it is working again (almost), but there is still a lot of work

to do. The problem is that I only have a .pdf of a copy of a user

manual, not enough for my needs. For example, in a press release it

says that one can assign different MIDI chanels for upper tone, lower

tone and rhytm, but in my copy of the manual it doesn't say how. Casio

Japan didn't helped, either. So I joined this group, hoping somebody

can bring any light to this. I need a full user manual, a service

manual, a circuit diagram and the specifications of the RAM card.

Thank you very much, and please excuse my english. Marcelo, from

Patagonia.
