Hi Mike. I've still very much 'got L plates' re the PX-5. I'm on the road with Taylor Dayne and the amount of time I can get at my PX-5 is down to minutes before lengthy sound-checks, break time, then showtime. So I really cannot muck around. What I've set up so far works, it's good, and I ain't changing it til I know much, much more! Wisdom learnt from experience. What "seems" to be how it is, is this: I edit a Tone (say, add some chorus and rev to a Rhodes piano).......... it only stays as a "write" save if I save it to BOTH the Tone and the Stage Setting, right? Or ONLY to the Stage Setting? I am not clear on this, and I can't surely say I've tried 1. saving to the Tone only, and 2. saving to the Stage Setting only .............. and getting my edits saved. Frankly I'm confused. So whenever I do anything I save it to both, not one or the other.

I think the problem is the relationship between Stage Setting and Tone categories..... it takes a bit to get yer head around how they relate to each other. I'm simply not clear on that yet, even though I've read a little. Patience, oh man.....

Thanks Chuck, appreciate it. Gee and I thought editting a DX7 was tough! (back then). I guess it gets easy after the first 30 times.... SM.

Hi Mike, that's sorta kinda helpful. I got my PX-5 a few days ago and I'm full on into rehearsals for a Taylor Dayne run of shows, I have absolutely zero time to muck around trying to navigate thru a new instrument. Is there any way it can be explained how I can grab some of my favorite tones (I already know a half dozen I love) and store them in "Stage Settings"? REALLY QUICKLY? I'm mystified, so far, how this works, I really don't get the concept yet. I'm hoping a realization will come. When one is in rehearsal with a high profile act, you really can't take any risks, so you have to play safe with all program choices, etc. I'd really appreciate a "For Dummy's" language explanation if possible. Thank you, Sam McNally, Australia.
