The roland fa-07 is about to descend, with built in control map for ableton. I'm about to sell my xw-g1 cos it is so difficult to control map to a daw. I think casio would sell a ton more of these with control maps to ableton, cubase, etc. I've just bought my ex's 18yr old son a midi controller cos it maps automatically to ableton. a control map to ableton please? Then I can buy one...

A newbee comment... hopefully not too silly Just had a quick look at the editor. Haven't tried using it yet... 1. Having nobs and sliders viewed in the editor as you see them on the px-5s. 2. Having curser 'hover' explanations & things to try over each function. This would help newbees like me get into it.

Scott just told me on the facebook group that it is working, so i'll work at it my end. Thank you Scott!!!

Hi all. Just got a px5s. firmware upgrading just done succesfully. I am struggling to get Mike's "PX-5S Updated ALL File v2.5" files to download. I get to the page where it says "Your files are available below." Then i press download on the 3 files and nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

Does the editor work ok with windows 10?

Thanks guys that's very helpful, I'll let you know where I end up!

Hi. Im interested in buying one of these. Can i use it to control analogue synths. I'm thinking of synths that dont have a keyboard, though ones that do too, as I will be buying a (cheap) analogue synth too (maybe old maybe relatively new). I will be using it as 2nd keyboard with my gem promega 2, or a light casio weighted one (not yet bought) if i gig a lot. The px5s and px350 and px360 are what i would choose from if buying a stage piano. Also, are the sounds in this not as good as those in the px5s, px350 or px360? Sorry for all the questions, ive read threads for days trying to work all this out. I'll be doing modern rock, eg underdog by kasabian, and theres a lot of ground to cover with sounds and noises... and i'm trying to work out how to cover it all with one or two light keyboards and an analogue synth module, without spending the earth. Also, to get the sounds I want, will that work, or would the G1 with its sampling ability be more useful? I am also open to using an ipad or laptop if needed for soft synths if thats the best route live. it seems that sound quality is less important live, as even Kasabian dont take their analogue synths on the road, using novation controller keyboards and a lot of samples of their analogue synths and soft synths live, from what ive read. I'm a beginner at all this, having played piano, and being more jazz focussed, and never having owned a synth before or gigged. Also, ive read all i can on this synth as a midi controller, but no replies seem very detailed. It seems to offer all the functions that the better midi controllers would for live use. Is this true? If so, why would anyone buy a midi controller when all the functionality of the P1 is there too and it is so light? Lastly, how much better are the new set of standard sounds that Mike has made for it than the factory ones. A lot of the forums complaints about it are to do with sound qulity of the supplied sounds. Does Mikes sounds bring it up to MOX6 type standard? I have a lot of questions!!!!! Sorry. Thank you, david
