  1. The PX-5S audio/line inputs and dual headphone jacks make this a powerful instrument for teaching, as well as for performance. For those of you using "tracks" as I do, the audio input works great from an MP3 player or computer. However, many people do not know that the line inputs are NOT disabled, that is, the audio input and the line inputs work at the same time. A teacher and a student can use the dual headphone outputs to hear the board. Pre-amped up via a mixer or other device, the line inputs can be used with a mic system to talk to the student as the teaching progresses. For private teaching this is very powerful.
  2. I added my personal MIDI files to the MusicDat folder on the USB Drive. Reads Standard Midi files fine. However the playback of MIDI tracks need to be lowered in volume so playing live parts are louder, MIDI is lower. How is this done? Thanks. Tom Piggott
  3. Many of my posts will also address the use of electronic wind instruments with the Casio's, including the EVI and the midi sax DH-100, as well as tips for using the XW and PX as controllers for vocal processing harmonizers, i.e. TC-Helicon and others. EVI can be heard here: https://www.youtube...._id=vpPXYKy-lCo Also, a side note, the "finish" of the keys on the PX-5S adds more congtrol under your hands for certain phrasings. It almost feels like ivory and ebony materials.
  4. Okay.........Mike Martin was gracious to guide me through a couple of " Casio Logic" moves that resulted in: A channeling of my emails to him to the forum to the benefit of all... 1. Successful download of updates for BOTH the XW P1 and the PX 5S. 2. My old instincts kicked in. Those who know me will know that I will be relentless in sharing anything I think of value, no charge. 3. I am a teacher, My thought is slowbut very methodical. 4. My desire it to sincerely contribute to the Casio effort. 5. My goal: To address owners of two Casio models and their communication benefits. Feel free to look me up...or ask for info. I am a little cooky, but very sincere. Thanks MIke Martin, Jerry K. and Casio.
  5. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=vpPXYKy-lCo You might enjoy this......mixing the old and the new. Remember that despite all its programming capabilities, there is no better way to feature the PX-5S is to play it live. The instrument stands on its own as one of the best for live performance and many of the programming and subtle change capabilities are already done for you out of the box. More coming. Tom Piggott
