I haven't used the MIDI recorder on my PX-560 yet, but would suggest leaving an empty bar or two at the beginning and end of each song. I don't even know if it's possible to automate the controller in the MIDI recorder, but will have a play later and report back asap! If you're struggling to find a solution, you could export your MIDI files and edit the controller data in a DAW.

I'm actually planning on making some videos demonstrating and reviewing the PX-560. I need to get to know it better first, but as soon as I have, I'll get something up on YouTube and share the links here. I'm sure our good friends Mike Martin and Rich Formidoni will be releasing some helpful videos soon.

I received my PX-560 yesterday and can promise you, you're in for a treat! None of the photos I've seen do it justice. The blue is absolutely gorgeous. I haven't had time to get deep into any functions yet, but having owned the PX-5S, the PX-560 is a pleasure to navigate, with the new touch screen. OK, it isn't quite as much of a 'synth powerhouse', but it does offer some beautiful tones and features, combined with one of the best actions I've every played. The PX-560 fills a gap in the market, because it provides the ease of use of home keyboards and digital pianos, with the editing and sequencing capabilities of synths and workstations. I imagine it will be a huge hit with both studio and live musicians for all of those reasons. On a personal level, I think we've become so used to owning instruments with huge specifications features and gimmicks, but the most important thing is how an instrument makes you feel. I haven't enjoyed playing this much in a long time! Enjoy yours when you get it and I'll do my best to help and advise if I can. Greetings from England!
