Hello all! I've just published on my blog a set of tones I made for my own pleasure, this keyboard is so fun to play! The tones uses the internal samples so no precious memory is wasted. You can download and audition the tones one by one; individual downloads as well as a single package are provided. Let me know what do you think. Here is the link P.S.: later I will upload a copy on the download section and a one on the official facebook page

Hi, this is my experience of phoning round to see where to place my order for a MZ-X500, (when it ships to the UK). 1. Academy of Sound, Stoke UK, They were not aware of this new Casio model but probably could pre-order one with a deposit paid. My question: what if online dealers are first in the queue of stockists? I would not wish to be patient for a further three months. ~So I didn't pre-order. Friendly guy and a fan of Casio keyboards and who also called me back after he'd contacted their Casio rep', but Casio rep' reportedly said that the MZ-X500 was only for the USA market, not for the UK market at all. Credit to AofS for promising to call me back in near future if he learns anything new. 2. Fair Deal Music, Birmingham UK. My speculative phone call of last week, to ask if they were taking pre-order for MZ-X500. "You wouldn't want one of those, sir!, not judging from your voice (ageism), you'll want a nice second-hand Yamaha Tyros 2, (which we will gladly sell you). Fair enough, he sells what sells to the old codgers and stuff the rest, eh? :-) 3. A C Hamilton, Preston UK. This one makes no pretence of his prejudices with this terse response to my polite written request to pre-order a Casio MZ-X500: quote: " >Over 30 years of experience selling all manufacturers I would never recommend a Casio , they look good value on the surface but the simple fact is they don’t have the quality of a Yamaha,Korg or Roland .For that sort of money you can buy a Korg Pa600 or a>Yamaha S770 , far better products , for me the Korg PA600 is outstanding . " unquote Okay, that's just three UK dealers, so probably many more who appreciate Casio brand. Sod this, I think I'll wait until the Casio MZ-X500's hits the shops. cheers

Detailed questions about MZ-X500 and DAW integration
Nick Rastin posted a topic in MZ-X500 / MZ-X300
Hi guys! I'm excited to find and join this forum and I hope you would help me on following questions: Is MZ X500 capable of controlling DAWs as some midi contollers are? If so which DAWs does it support? *I mean to use its knobs, faders and play/rec/stop... buttons, not only note keys. Many thanks in advance -
Greetings, hope you can help a Tablet Novice on this matter. Printed and bound both MZ-X500 manuals, but would also be nice to have them on a smaller device. (1) Would the cheaper Tablets (approx £50 new on Amazon et al), be suitable for reading Casio manuals in PDF format? With no mouse or keyboard, how would one navigate the pages? (2) Can PDF file opened on the last page read, like with a Kindle mobi file? (3) Windows 7 user, cable internet, not wireless. Assuming most tablets have a memory card for transferring the PDF file from my desktop to the tablet. Thanks for any tips

Hi. Am trying to register some volume changes I made in the Mixer Edit screen of the pattern sequencer of Rock Pop 1. I reduced the volume of all the Rhythm parts to around 65, to allow the use of a new mic. Is there any reason why the new volume settings I made in the Mixer Edit page won't be recalled after I Registered them to Area 1 of Bank 1? Seems like all volume levels of the Rhythms are back to full volume after powering on again and selecting Bank 1 - Area 1 (first button). Probably some simple thing, but have checked that no Filters are applied - all set to Off. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Casio people, Had a dabble at converting Yamaha 'Styles' to Casio Rhythms on my new MZ-X500. Amazing what these keyboards can do, eh! There are thousands of Yamaha styles free on the psrtutorial site. Some styles need some tweaking after conversion to get a reasonable result. But for me, it's a great way to play around and learn a few things. In fact, this advertised feature of MZ-X's ability to convert third-party 'styles' to Casio rhythms was what drew my interest in the first place. Am now trying to make a MZ-X500 Rhythm from an imported MIDI file. Not from a Yamaha 'Style' this time, but using a General MIDI SMF file type 01 to try to build a Casio Rhythm by segments, or 'Elements' in Casio speak. Okay, have followed Ralph Maten's excellent video tutorial on this subject, have mirrored his every move, but for some reason all I'm hearing after the final (Execute - Complete) stage, is drums. Checked the Accomp button is lit and am playing chord shapes on left hand (like Ralph does in his video), only drums again. Have installed the 01:30 upgrade, no difference. All my MIDI files play no problem in the MZ's MIDI Recorder and play also when played on the SMF IMPORT SETTING screen, so nothing wrong with the MIDI files, one presumes. Any suggestions gratefully received, folks.

Hi all, I recently bought the MZ-X500 and I'm loving it! However, I have tried to load .sty files into the keyboard but these do not show up. I have upgraded to the latest firmware but every time I search the usb stick it says there are no files on there when, in actual fact, there are! If anyone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong or missing out, that would be great!

Hi Guys First of all pls forgive me for my poor English I've bought a CASIO MZ-X 500 Keyboard last week and i am working on it I've tried to create rhythms from midi files using the pattern sequencer (see Attachment) using SMF import and editing each element (intros, variations, fill ins etc..) But in the chord type section i can only see c major, c minor c7 and Cm7 chords but the actual midi file is none among them i selected chord type c and pressed execute, but while i played the rhythm with accomp, i get a different chord when i play c major chord I think there is a section called Key Shift. What is its function? pls check the attached Midi files and rhythms and suggest a solution 1) ->22 TAYLOR SWIFT.MID ->22.AC7 ->22_NEW.AC7 2)LIVIN ON A PRAYER.MID ->LIVIN.AC7

Hi, i convert an old SF2 Sound to WAVE Sound and Import the Sound to the Samplemanager 1.1.0 . Is it possible to set a Looppoint to the Soundfile so as a SF2-File? (Startpoint - Looppoint - EOF) From the Wersi-Soundfile there is a Little demo in mp3. Hope you enjoy it. Karl-Heinz Wersi DB1.ztn Shakuachi.ztn shukari.ztn Wersi.mp3

Cakewalk SONAR Instrument Definition File Does this file exist yet for the MZ-X's ?

Hi, what is the potential for using a MIDI foot controller board to MZ-X500? By example, a Roland FC-200? Would it do much more than connecting the normal two standard pedals? thanks

Hi folks, Am using Audacity to prepare short WAV samples for transferring to MZ via USB stick. I wonder if there is a quicker way of importing a full bank of sixteen, short WAV audio samples from Audacity into a single MZ-X500 PAD Bank? Filling a complete PAD Bank with imported WAV samples one at a time I find tedious. Was hoping that the MZ-X's 'Sample Manager' was the answer, but apparently that software is just for making new user tones. Hopefully, a drag-and-drop WAV sample import would be a handy upgrade for the MZ-X. cheers

Hi, Have no problem using the metronome when recording MIDI phrases onto PADS. But when using the MZ-X500's metronome when recording short audio (mike) vocals to PADS, for some reason, the recorded PAD includes the sound of the metronome. How do I prevent the sound of the metronome from being included in recording? thank-you

A very different piano sound from the presets. Using hex layer synth mode, split shifting the factory piano samples dramatically alters the timbre. The result is a sound reminiscent of the old upright piano I grew up playing. This was a tone I originally programmed for the PX-5S, now ported to the MZ-X500. -
