The problem seems fixed and I'm not that interested in unfixing it 😁 just wanted to suggest some possible causes. it's a 32GB sandisc drive I was using. don't think it's counterfeit. It's possible that using the drive had something to do with the error. I don't use it often. But like I said, the last time I used the audio recorder function, I maxed the PX5s' capacity to record one track. did that cause the glitch, I don't know. maybe if it happens to someone else they might see similarities.

I got this 'no media error' the other day and saw Mike's sticky on the issue. It wasn't happening every time I turned the PX5s on but more times than not. I thought it might a PC issue as I'm connected via usb. Windows updated recently. I plugged the usb cable out but it didn't solve the problem. My USB key wasn't plugged in either. I followed Mike's instructions and downloaded the 1.3 firmware, stuck it on my usb key, put it into the keyboard and turned it on. It briefly flashed the usual "no media" error but then it said "don't touch, updating". After several minutes, I checked the keyboard and it seemed to have worked. Unusually though, instead of keyboard loading the 0-0 stage setting like it usually does when you turn it on, it had loaded 1-4 (a custom one). This is a stage setting I've been using a lot. It was probably the last stage setting I used. Recently I used the onboard audio recorder to record two tracks to my USB key using this stage setting. I was playing one for so long (maybe around 20 minutes I think, perhaps longer) that the PX5S stopped the recording and told me I'd reached the limit of what it could record as one track. I'd never done this before. Mike was saying he couldn't recreate the glitch so I thought I'd mention these things because they perhaps have something to do with it. EDIT: autoresume was switched to on. not sure if the firmware reload did that or if I had changed the settings. So that's why stage setting 1-4 loaded.

Got it. Thanks Brad. Never used midi much. getting back into figuring this stuff out and messing around.

okay so the midi is on channel 10 so I set the editor to channel 10 and I think that's what solved it.

here's what the midi looks like in reaper. maybe if I delete some of the first items? edit: doesn't seem to have worked.

not sure, Brad. I was just taking mike's suggestion in his last vid and downloading some random drum midi sequences off the net. how do I check? I opened one in reaper and resaved it to see if that would sort it but it didn't.

I've done this before but not in a long time. I don't have it connected to the board at the moment. all I'm doing is dragging midi files into the left column from a folder then from dragging them from the left column into the right one. I get a phrase convert error. thought it might be the midi file but I've tried a few from different sources. Can you see if I'm doing anything wrong? maybe something with the options on the bottom. what should they be set to?

So you think maybe somehow the update caused choir1 and choir2 (tones 141 and 142) to be displayed as britstrings 1 & 2 in the choir hex tone. Think maybe you're right. The choir1 tone on 141 gives the same tone and if you change the tone and then reselect bristrings1, it's completely different. It's an interesting hex tone when you mess around with it, like the sample seems to change if you go from EFlat2 to E on layer 1 and at a different key on layer 3.

If someone could check this out on your PX 5s, I'd appreciate it. Load up the HEX tone 089 which is called Choir Tone. Edit it and you'll see layer 1 and layer 3 are on. They're both set to different BritStrings tones (1 & 2) which I'm guessing stands for brittle strings. But how are they being made to sound like a choir? They clearly make clearly vocal ahhh type sounds like a choir.

I think my number 1 feature request for a px 5s successor would be to increase the number of banks from 100 to 1000. There are so many great stage settings out there, plus I'm always tinkering with something but don't have the space to save it the board. You have to remove something else that's useful to make space. I'd love for it to be backwards compatible too so you could just import existing stage settings. Bet that would be hard though unless they just decide to keep the same architecture which would be fine. I get nervous they're going to discontinue this board but then you search for it on youtube — hundreds of recent videos from South America featuring it. It must have made a big splash there plus the gospel music guys love it after levi king did his three videos on it. It took a long time but it gradually got the attention and praise it well deserved.

I like that. nice one. reminds me of 80's tv. Tales of the Unexpected or something.

The Casio PX-S3000 This is the first I have heard about this new model. All I had seen on Casio's youtube channel was the announcement of the Privia PX-S1000 which is a basic digital piano with a handful of tones and effects with inbuilt speakers, three pedals, clever companion apps and caters to people who want a quality, inexpensive simple piano in their home. It's $599 retail in the US. I hope they sell a ton but I'm coming from a PX-5S and am interested in something a bit more. So I was watching Sonic State's video on the Casio booth at NAMM. After demonstrating the PX-S1000, the Sonic State guy asks what's the model on the other table. Turns out it's a PX-S3000 and has 700 tones , 200 rhythms, an LED display that looks like the one on the PX-5S, pitch time and real-time controls (looks like just two knobs) and it retails for $799 in the US. Don't think it has the same sound-sculpting abilities as the PX-5S but the demo was so short, maybe it does? Maybe a PX-5000 is in the pipeline? Skip to 6:15 in this video

Piano Sospiro View File This is an edit I made to the original Lofi upright stage setting by Brad. That piano is a hex tone made from combining piano hex layers. It's been so long, I can't remember what I did to it exactly. I meant to work some more on it to get it perfect but I never get around to it so I thought I'd upload it as it is now before I forget to ever do it. When I make it better, I'll upload a version 2. It is the main piano stage setting I always use. I think it sounds like a really authentic piano. I prefer it to the default grand. Make sure to check out sliders one and two. Slider One will increase the volume on a hex-tone made out of white and pink noise. The cut off is set so it creates a very haunting tone. Slider Two adds distortion. Kick up the reverb and you can get some really haunting piano sounds. It reminds me of an old piano being played in a large empty house. You can hear the stage setting in this video I made from a MIDI file I found online and played through the PX5s but sliders 1 and 2 are not used in this demo. I named the stage setting after this piece. (PS: Check out the brand on the piano in the video 😉) Submitter dc2k Submitted 11/19/2018 Category Acoustic Pianos and Piano Layers
