  1. Hey folks need your help.Had put my Pro away for about 6 months ,took it out turned it on ,says updating then error no files..I'm 64 yrsold, and I need you young folks help...thanks!
  2. Tony Banks was one of my favorite key guy's.remember no midi no loo pings just a lot of hands that,s the way I learned to play and still do.
  3. You betcha!!!!.how the rumored dispatch of Peter Gabriel was a shame!
  4. How do you like the kaos pads.?i was thinking about getting one ...
  5. Wow as the guidance counselour said "drugs are bad "!lmao
  6. Think I,ll bring along my g1andp1.this is turning into an elp like moment. A guitar buddy of mine who ,I don,t know was hit in the head by a rock I think,invited some months ago to jam with him.Okay so far ,so good. I went to pack up a guitar or bass,he tells me "nope ,why don,t you bring them old synths you never play, cause I,m playing drums,"Wtf!!!!!! So ,get this I dig out my 30yr old multimoog and roland sh 101grabbed my guitar pedal board.And went to his house.All I can say is I haven't picked up a guitar in 6months and won't.So that's,how this started!!!!yep.
  7. This is important to me.One of my buddies invited me to his house for a jam session.my problem is two keyboards or three? And which combination?do I take the two synths ,p and g and leave the px home?or do I take the px and leave the g1or p1?or take all three.i should explain that the music will be totally freeform.i.e.lets play and see where this goes..what would you fellas do? And thanks!
  8. We a club now?Sweet.i,m in the tri club.? I got my privia px5s.However in a few weeks I just plan to jam with the twins over to my buddy's house.Welcome to the twins club.A bass playing buddy was amazed at how light they were. .
  9. Yikes!lol.I only meant it would be interesting considering their re entrance into synths.I have a multimoog and my first introduction to synths was a modular in1980.
  10. How about a synth based on a minimoog?or better yet a korg ms 20 mini.Something along that idea would be interesting esp.them and their great price point.
  11. My late dad who was a great saxophone player,and my sis is a great clarinetist.Me I had to fight for every note.When I told my dad,I'll never make a good pianist,he looked at me,looked at my synths and said"Son,I could never get the sounds out of those things you do,I wouldn't know where to begin".So I proudly wear the name Synthesist and will finally start taking lesson at the old age of 63.My new px 5s demands it.Which do you consider yourselves or both or something altogether different ? Just curious....
  12. I agree with you about the screen.Also what happened to black on white screen lettering?
  13. I watched a demo and was impressed.but the price! Then someone would steal and I'd have to..... Uhhhh never mind...lol
  14. In a few weeks I,m going to a jam session to debut my casios .No tape over the name,covers or any of that.And to further confound folks,I'm going all battery.It never ceases to amaze, that if great megastar musician plays a no name instrument good or bad,people go oooooohhhhh.What was he playing,and can I get one,forgetting it,s all in his hands.I recently read an article about the latest yamahas,the motifs? Fine instrument I,m sure but all I read was",the potential of the instrument is amazing,after studying for 3months I'm starting to understand it"Whattttt! Casios I think in my old age are about performance.Rebranding seems to me like fakery ,like you are ashamed of your product.i will take my orange chrome p1,my g1,and my privia 5s and wave my freak flag high!Yeezus!
  15. Yes YG,you must.Im not a piano player per se,I'm a synthesist but it fits so nice with xw,s,the lushness.
  16. So I ordered my px 5s two weeks ago as part of a bundle.everything showed up piece by piece .case which was taller than me,headphonesj,cables,piano bench everything,but yes,we have no piano,no piano for you today!So I'm sitting home Saturday ,knees deep in rearranging when I hear a loud thump! On my patio.Well I peek out and there s the piano box!The guy never rang the bell.Luckily it works like a charm.so now I have it along with xw p and g!!!!hooray and thanks for reading.
  17. Hmmm.i agree with the disagreements. I was watching at 5am ,so perhaps my judgement was clouded.having played dance music since in the 80s,using multiple synths,just seems like a lot of work to me.Then again I ain't young ,so there!lol
  18. I posted yesterday about any vocoder presets in the xw series.While surfing the web at work(where else)I came across the roland aira series .four machines ,bassline ,drum machine,small synth,and vocoder.i watched the videos with some detached interest.Why because with the exception of the vocoder ,the g1does all that .I mean I watched the guy act like he needed four arms.!!!!he,s moving from drum machine to bass machine to vocoder to synth Made me dizzy just watching him.He spent more time doing that than playing.Seems to me someone is scared.They claim that the synth is a logical successor to the sh 101.Uhhhhh no. I have a sh101.simple with sliders .Theirs has blinking lights, knobs.As a matter of fact they all light up like cheap discoballs.! Anyone prone to epilepsy should stay away.Everyone else go check the toys out.Silly ,shame. I like the vocoder and that,s it.The 80s are over.
  19. Nice article .I have the new album and the article states that the casios were used a lot on that album.Heck I bought the g1before I bought the p1.i like underdogs! Now I'm waiting for my privia to arrive .then the xw j1 then......who knows?
  20. Are there any vocoder presets in either machine?
  21. I'm the old geezer of the group and a returning newbie to synths.I have both the xw p1and g1.Was going to buy some overpriced emaxs and diskettes for 2500.! When I asked you knowledgable folks on the forum,you politely told me Nooooooooo! So I bought me a px 5s which I'm waiting for like an expectant dad,!As an ex guitarist and bassist I can say this is the nicest,most polite forum I've been on.Again my thanks!
  22. Okay?i,ll try when I'm off from work and thanks sir.
  23. Yknow what I'm too old,too scared to do any of that young folks stuff.my firmware will stay"firm"and "where"it,s at.
