You'd have to purchase thousands of drum books to even come close to the content in this library, and since they're all midi, you can hear the rhythm instantly with any MIDI instrument you have. No paper book could ever do that!
Reggae Drum Midi Files Free
Inside the THEME folders are the SYNCOPATION folder and the midi files. The SYNCOPATION folder contains all the theme phrases in a heavily syncopated format. The syncopation folder is only in 4/4 and if you're looking for something a little different check here. [I personally find this folder to be the most interesting... it's amazing how many lyrical sequences can come out of asymmetrical patterns.]
Inside each THEME folder are the actual midi files. The first number in the file name is the variation group. In this case there are 8 variations in variation group zero "0". The second number is the number of notes in the file. So the selected file has 46 notes in it. Next come the names of the instruments contained inside the pattern. So the selected pattern has KICKS and HI-HATS playing in it. The last number is just a unique index and has no significance.
Actually, you will recognize the Reggae standard of the intro roll and the break in the eight bar of the actual musical track. We've now reached a point wherein freedom can be enjoyed to the fullness when it comes to the drums. At least, freedom in responsibility.

#2. Is it possible to download a reggae midi file (sequence) and copy only the drum and/or bass tracks and make changes (if I want to) and then turn that into an accompaniment track and what page in manual? or would this be an altered sequence?
P.S. Is there a way to do a search on this site that you can put the topic and have it only search the title of a specific keyboard forum? For instance, when I searched midi files on the page I thought was for my keyboard, it seems like it searched all the different casio keyboards. thank you!
It so happens that CTK/WK Rhythm files ARE MIDI files, but they are Casio proprietary and are highly specialized. They contain additional data, pertinent to the generation of a Rhythm pattern, that would not be found in a regular MIDI song file - such as how to generate chords - bass on bottom, inversions, etc. None of the new CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX models, or their immediate predecessors, the WK-3XXX series and their related CTK models, were/are capable of directly loading MIDI files as Rhythms. For those older models, Casio distributed all files in a .CKF format - Tones, Rhythms, Songs, etc. When the files were loaded into the keyboard's internal memory, data was extracted from the .CKF distribution format and converted to a format native to that keyboard. When Rhythms were loaded in a .CKF file, the Rhythm data was extracted and converted to a .Z00 format. If that Rhythm was later uploaded back to a computer, it came back as a .Z00 file, not as a .CKF file. It so happens that the new CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX models will load either .CKF or .Z00 old Rhythm files and convert them to the new .AC7 format. If they are later uploaded back to a computer, they come back as .AC7 files, not .CKF or .Z00 files. The old IDES Data Manager software, for the older models, came with three stand alone modules in addition to the file manager software - those modules were a Tone Editor, a WAV File Converter, and most important to this discussion, a MIDI to .CKF Rhythm File Converter. Since the sound engine of the new models is totally different from those of the older models, the Tone Editor and WAV Converter are of no use to the new models, but it is possible to use the Rhythm Converter to convert a MIDI file to a .CKF Rhythm file and load it into the new models' User Rhythm memory, where it will be converted to the new .AC7 format, but nothing is for free. The drawback is that the MIDI file must have the various Rhythm sections (Inro, Normal, Fills, Ending, etc) precision demarked with an external sequencer (Cubase, Sonar, etc.) prior to conversion. If the location of any marker is off by so much as a single clock tick, the rest of the Rhythm will be off from that point on and will not "play" correctly, if at all. Getting the markers set properly is about 90% of the work in this conversion. You can obtain a copy of the IDES software at:
Go down to the line that says "RHYTHM", and click on "Data List >" to the right of it. When the next window comes up you will see the list of available Rhythm files. Click on "Download V" for each file you want. They are all free, but nothing is ever really free. There is no bulk download for them. You have to download them one at a time, so it is going to cost you some time if you want them all. Do not bother with the ethnic package files on this site, as they include Rhythms that need the included Tone files, which will not work on the new boards.
Cobra is one of our most popular free packs, and for good reason. Cobra is an all encompassing hip hop style sample pack, including some more modern drums and samples, it also contains more classic style drum loops reminiscent of the boom bap drum sound.The guitar and flute recordings are also perfect for chopping and sampling with some boom bap drums.
Ok, time to give something back. I'm making available some of my favourite reggae riddims in midi format for all you producers to re-use. Released as part of the digital 7-inch project, you're all invited to contact me with your versions - my favourites will get a release on the netlabel.
But you are right, my plugins is not too detailed like EZDrummer. I think because they have big budget to do it (and people pay big money to them) vs me who made this just for fun, when I have spare time after doing my client music and I give this away for free. Maybe someday, I have more time and money to make super realistic drum and still give away the plugins for free 2ff7e9595c
