Why I keep my keys and other instruments covered. But then, look up "Andy's Gang" to see how he trained animals to play well sort of-its not pretty, but then this was 1950's TV-they got away with alot. why I keep my cats away from my music room-when I can but they sneak in.

Oh those darn cats love piano keys!

I am anxiously waiting to pick up my repaired PX-560 from the Dover repair facility-I dropped it-actually my cat jumped on it and knocked it off the stand!!! The speaker system stopped working, considering the abuse its taken for over 5 years, still plays, records like a champ. The repair turnaround time was excellent, very professional at the desk and on the phone. I will post back after I pick it up this Wednesday. amazing how much one misses an instrument like this when it is down for the count. I have others, but the 560 is still a strong contender at the top of the list-and I own an M3 (baby Oasys) and an Alesis Fusion (another form of a baby Korg Oasys), which are pretty tough competition. It's a tribute to Casio-the PX560s from what I can determine are still available, still being manufactured if I am not mistaken.

I knew how to set it up. the problem is the feature doesn't work at all. I mean do you know a specific part inside that has to repair to make it works again? Also, when I screw the ground-wire, the sounds of the keyboard doesn't works, and when I take the ground-wire off from the position (detached), the sounds of the keyboard is back. And I found this part is different compared to the original one. This is mine: This is the original part: Do you think I can found that fatter part on market? if yes, what is this part names?

Another long-term user of the PX-5S checking in! I've had my PX since 2014, I'm now in a regional band covering a 5-state area and the PX is still the center of my 2-board rig! (The other board is a HydraSynth.) It's got scuffs, scratches, even some burn marks from a pyrotechnics "miscalculation" in Chicago. It's got LEDs mounted in the bottom and an auxiliary power supply installed inside it for my MIDI wireless receiver. I've had it apart several times for cleaning and upgrades, a few minor repairs but no major ones. It's far from perfect. Most of the sounds are not great out of the box. The effects, most notably the rotary speaker effect, just plain suck. The screws must be screwed in VERY delicately to avoid breaking the plastic bosses inside. But the reason this keyboard still hangs with me as a professional is the mod-ability of the sounds and the assignable controls. The workflow, with it's tiny screen, is considerably faster than my Korg with it's much larger interface and the ability to easily flash everything to USB means that the heart of my rig can be transferred to a replacement PX5S in the event of a disaster. The light weight of the PX is also far beyond anything else in it's class, although I'd be happy to accept a little higher weight penalty to strengthen the fastener bosses that hold the board together. If Casio releases a PX5S Mark 2, I have one huge request, and it is that the Mark 2 accepts the Stage Setting files of the original as I've got dozens of them representing many hours of programming. Otherwise just keep making the original! I originally bought this board when I joined my first band, with the intention of replacing it when I'd hit it's limitations. That's still my plan, it's just that I haven't hit the keyboard's limitations yet. Ivan

Jamming with custom made stages on PX5S

Hi Tom, I think that given the price of the 5000 (870 euros in my case) the keyboard is acceptable with its small defects. But for the 2700 euros of the 7000 it is not conceivable. I don't know who buys it but they must have little knowledge of the alternatives on market. If the keyboards of the 5000 and 7000 are really the same as they say, obviously.

Some of the stuff I'm working on with the PX5S. I leave this kind of stuff for weeks cause it doesnt feel done for me, after a few weeks I listen to it again and for some reason it sounds okayish. Some weekends and during week days well spend on the PX5S I say. Think its time to turn these in proper music knowing it will take longer with editing in a daw a new thing to learn I guess.

Translator, an older version, worked well with my older Ensoniq TS-12 which could read and play samples, it has caused difficulties at least for the auto-sampling function, and only with those of us using it for the Alesis Fusion. I have no experience using it with other forms of the program which are designed for specific workstations, it has several versions dedicated to a particular workstation as well as a universal translator. And yes, auto-slice or split is a different function than a true wave auto-mapper, which requires quite a bit more more programming to get right. I am not criticizing Garth, who created Translator...just trying to say that auto-mapping samples is not an easy task, and if the MZ does it, that's one-up for it. I was just looking over the old Generalmusic Genesys-with its speakers, it is scary how similar it was to the MZ-X500, in appearance and functionality-it was a hybrid arranger with a built-in sequencer, 2 tracks of internal audio recording, a vocal processor and sample importing with a translator....hmmm

Would the CT-S1 work as a MIDI controller for standalone sound modules?
Jamietopol replied to the_cool_guy's topic in CT-S1
Yes, it definitely would work. You need a USB / MIDI host interface like this one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175678859203?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CJh-X4dyQPa&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=E6kGuE4VQKG&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I love the key action on the CT-S1 and use it primarily as a MIDI controller. -

Brad Saucier replied to the_cool_guy's topic in CT-S1
USB on the CT-S1 is a "to host" port. This means it can't connect directly to another USB device that requires a host itself. A typical USB to MIDI cable requires a host. A host can be a computer, mobile tablet or phone, or a USB MIDI host box. USB MIDI host box is probably the easiest solution. -

Hi, I'm looking for a portable keyboard that would also work as a MIDI controller for my standalone synths. The manual mostly talks about the bluetooth USB dongle, which seems like it's more for connecting to tablets and laptops. I know that you can connect it to a DAW, and route the MIDI through that, but I'd prefer something that would work without a computer or tablet if possible. Would something like a USB to MIDI cable work? If not, what would be the simplest, most portable way of connecting this to a synth that uses a standard MIDI in port?

ct-s1 CT-S1 can't be recognise as a midi device.
Mike Martin replied to Mushroomswiss's topic in CT-S1
The first solution is to make certain that it is a DATA cable. It is extremely common that micro USB cables are for charging only. Secondly, if there are other USB MIDI devices in your system note that Windows has a USB MIDI device limit. Each time you plug a USB MIDI Device into a USB port you're using one of available 10 locations. So even if devices are not plugged in, they're still using those slots. Commonly people use up those slots by accident and no additional USB MIDI Devices can be used. This requires that "un-connected USB devices" are removed manually from the Windows device manager. -
Hey, any solutions to this? I'm having the same issue. I bought this keyboard and got it today. Plugged into my computer; tried a bunch of different cables, is not detected at all. Doesn't show up in device manager.

Unfortunately chord mode only works with auto accompaniment. Welcome to the forums. For future reference, it's better to make the title of your topic reflect the question you are asking rather than your name. To do that, you can edit your post.

Christopher Orme started following Ct-x5000 chord hold.

does the chord hold function work when playing to a audio backing track not using the accomp on the im ct-x5000 keyboard i am a new be to this hope someone can help. Thanks Chris.

Thanks Rob Would you mind giving a hint which model is quieter?

Adding a sampler feature to the MZ-X with authentic Brazilian instruments like cavaquinho, tambourine, berimbau, and classic accordion sounds from Todeschini and Scandalli would be a great addition. If the MZ-X doesn't have it, a fusion with WK and XW models might work.

Thanks for the post and other people's reply. They are extremely helpful. I've had my piano since 11/2022 and I started noticing a change to the loudness of the keys over the holidays. This seemed more noticeable to the right of Middle C. I have reached out to Casio for options and to check if the manufacturer date of my piano had related issues. A friend of mine just got a digital keyboard from a long standing competitor and the keybed is noticeably more quiet. Best, Rob

Hi Just a quick recording on my PX-5S. It's a cover version of Forårsdag by danish singer and musician Anne Linnet. "Forårsdag" translates to: spring day. Enjoy! Jay 🎹

Ok, its as easy as I thought but you have always to ask the question right. The tool I am looking for is for example in Wavosaur called auto-slice or auto-split in wavelab. Other editors will have similiar tools. They do exactly what I need. Now looking for a conveniant way to set smooth loops 😉.... I wonder Wavosaur will help here too.
