Midi File Converter Smf 110
Mary Your main problem is that the WK-110 provides no direct way of exporting its preset rhythms for importation into other Casio models. On models that allow editing the preset rhythms and then saving them as User Rhythms, it is possible to bring up a preset rhythm in the editor, as though it is going to be edited, but then immediately saving it, unchanged, to a User Rhythm that can then be exported to a computer or an SD Card. Since the WK-110 does not support editing of its preset rhythms, this process is not possible. The next alternative is, using a C Chord, recording the various parts of the desired rhythm (Intro, Variations, Fills, Endings) to a Casio proprietary User Song, and then exporting that to a computer as a Standard MIDI File (SMF), and then converting that to a Casio CKF rhythm file for importation to a CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX model, but here again, the WK-110 does not support the exportation of its Song files as Standard MIDI Files. The Standard MIDI File Converter that comes on the CD-ROM that was included with the WK-110 is for converting and importing Standard MIDI Files FROM the computer TO the WK-110, but NOT the other way FROM the WK-110 TO the computer. So, the next alternative is to use, basically, the same recording process, only recording from the WK-110 to a computer DAW/Sequencer software program as an SMF via the WK-110's USB port, but now we enter into an unknown area. The WK-110 would need to output its rhythm MIDI data to the USB port.
Not all CTK/WK models do this, and the WK-110's manual does not specify one way or the other, so you would need to experiment on that. If it does not output rhythm MIDI data to the USB port, then this method would not be an option either. Any of these methods can get quite involved, and the results quite often leave a lot to be desired, if they work at all. If you are interested in pursuing any of these, you may want to read through the following thread: This thread discusses, mainly, Yamaha to Casio rhythm conversion, but the basic process is the same. As a final resort, you could listen very closely to the various parts of the desired rhythm as you play it on the WK-110, and then recording it (one part at a time) manually in real time with the WK-7600's Pattern Sequencer and saving it as a User Rhythm.
Again, this requires a fairly in depth knowledge of rhythm file structure and pretty much necessitates being a fairly accomplished musician. If you are interested in pursuing this method, you may want to view this tutorial, by Casio's Mike Martin, on the CTK/WK-7XXX Pattern Sequencer: The caveat here is that, due to time limitations, it presents a much simplified view compared to the development of a complete, multi-part, fully instrumented rhythm. I realize that I have not presented a very encouraging scenario, but I have tried to avoid an over-simplified 'You can't get there from here!' You may be able to get there from here, but it certainly will not be easy.
Best of luck!
