That's what I thought. Closer to the original cat's-eye. Sounds cool. I've been tweaking my Rhodes and stumbled on the parameter.

Oooooo. Thanks Scott

Nope. It's a head-scratcher - and sorely missed for basses and leads - but the PX has no Mono Mode. I can't for the life of my figure out why it wasn't included in the first place or hasn't been added in an OS update, but there it is.

On BJzRhodes (and I think most of the others) you could try boosting slider #3 a bit for a little more bell tone; that'll help it cut through. It's been a long time since I posted it, but I'm still using a slight variation of it as my primary Rhodes. I agree a little chorus can fatten it up and smooth it out. A touch of phaser could help too. I've never been happy with the PX phaser, but I've been experimenting a lot with it lately and I'm coming close to something I like. I'll post it when I think it's usable. You could always try a little compression too. I haven't messed with the compressor in the PX, but it's right there waiting...

In the insert DSP Auto-Pan there is an LFO waveform parameter with three choices: Sin, Tri, Tra. Sine and Triangle - okay... But what's a Tra?

I knew it was too good to be true. Too bad. I was excited to have at least one expression pedal input, and I certainly understand the rigid assignments of the proprietary 3-pedal unit, but not making the "damper" input fully assignable just seems dumb. Unlike the PX3 & 5, the hardware is there; this was a software choice. A bad one. I can't use the FCB1010. Nice piece of kit, but the layout doesn't work for me. And trust me, I have no shortage of midi gizmos!

Looking over the specs I see that, in addition to the new expression pedal input, the damper pedal input is also TRS (for half-pedaling) and it has a connector for the Casio 3-pedal unit - which also has a half-pedaling damper, sostenuto, and soft pedals. So.... just how flexible is the implementation of all these pedals? Can all 5 be used simultaneously? I assume the damper pedal input can be freely assigned to another CC#, providing 2 - count 'em! - 2 expression pedal inputs! With the damper pedal on the 3-pedal unit handling sustain (CC#64), can the other two pedals be freely assigned to other CC#s or transport functions - like start & stop, pattern advance...? Can all 5 pedal functions be filtered individually, on/off, by zone? By midi channel? I'd love to get rid of all the midi pedal gizmos hooked up to my PX-5S!

Here's a discussion of the problem and a few alternative solutions in an earlier thread: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/6351-usb-audio-ouput-ground-noise/

Until recently, a pair of EV ZxA1s, now a Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 + a Behringer B1200D Pro Sub. I feed a small Alto mixer or a Samson SM10. I monitor onstage in stereo and send a mono feed to FOH when necessary using an aux feed from the mixer into a direct box - just in case the ground needs lifting. Stereo out of the mixer into the sub, filtered at 100Hz, then to the SS V.3. I loved my EVs, but the stereo image onstage is much more satisfying with the Spacestation. Highly recommended.

Behringer makes a similar pedal: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/TP300.aspx

In the studio and very small rooms, I use an old Alesis Ampliton for auto-pan on Rhodes patches. (Tho' it does lots of way cool stereo and mono tremolo and auto-pan effects - http://alesis.com/ampliton ) That way I can use the PX's internal phaser thru the auto-pan. Creeeemeee Smoooooth.....

Thanks Mike. Using what source for the panning? MIDI CC#10?

Can anyone explain the Dynamic Panning parameter and how it relates to the Pan Position parameter?

Thanks for the replies. I went with the standard midi connection solution. Minor inconvenience, but problem solved.
