Amen!

I'm not ready for a new arranger yet. I still am learning new things about my X500 every week. 😉 The only keyboards that would tempt me today are the PA1000 or PA4X, but I don't have $2000 to $4000 extra cash laying about!

This!

There is more than one manual

Same as you do with the PAX. Kronos 2 has better keyboard and additional sound channels. Fun stuff!

👍 Good going Pete. I use my Kronos 2 with the MX500. Works great! Have you seen the new analogue 16 channel keyboard from Korg?

Korg PA700 or PA1000 have video out, lyrics and score output.

Hi Pete! So you finally broke down and got it! 😉 CONGRATS! How's everything 'down under'? cheers, Rick

Go figure!

MX500 polyphony is 128 ;-)

Absolutamente correto! ;-)

Probably will be no better or worse than their BK7 offerings.

Actually they speak Portuguese in Brazil. Portuguese is part of the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several dialects of Vulgar Latin in the medieval Kingdom of Galicia, and has kept some Celtic phonology and lexicon. I speak a bit of Spanish, but find I can only understand about 1 in 5 words or Portuguese, perhaps a bit more when the speaker is talking about the Casio MX500. ;-) Many of the tutorial videos on that page can be auto-translated (loosely) to English by turning on Subtitles then turn on subtitle translate to English.

Yes, an MP3 is an audio file. By the way, DO NOT load any of the ZAL files above before you save all your current settings and custom tones/rhythms. A ZAL file will over-write all user data in your keyboard so be sure to back up your work first!
