When I got the keyboard, I edited some aspects of the Studio Grand Piano (like Piano Effect on, and Fully Open Lid) and some EQ, and I saved it as a registration. I recently overwrote the saved registration, no problem. I made the changes again and tried to store it into the registration 4 of Bank 1 (just as an example, the problem is consistent in all banks and registrations). The Storage message is error free, however the Upper 1 sound shows a " ! " sign after editing and it is not saved at all. I change the sound and press the Reg 4 button, and I come back to a completely plain unedited sound again. The storage is being done no problem, IF I save it without any changes but editing the sound is making it impossible to store it. And this is consistent with almost any sound I try to save after applying effects from the edit menu. I've searched the entire manual countless times and even the forum but I cannot seem to figure out the problem here. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. P.S. I did not try resetting my keyboard, which I want to avoid simply because I have a lot of custom sounds stored already, which would be a pain to restore. But if worse comes to it, I'll have to.

Where Download new sounds and rhythms and Put any someone knows? i created a group about casio px360 if u wanna get in https://www.facebook.com/groups/1800562313557181/?fref=ts

Hello all, and forgive me for being a newbie both here and with my new instrument, I now own a Casio PX-S3000 I LOVE the look of the instrument, and I like the few stock on-board easily accessible sounds that have come from the factory. That being said, I must say, sorry, don't like the instruction manual at all, and the online instruction manual looks exactly the same. It's not laid out well, with tiny, tiny words, and I find it to be confusing, and not user friendly at all. What ever happened to a book with a table of contents, pages containing a walk-through sounds list, , and an index in the back of the book? It has been stated that this instrument has 700 on board sounds, GREAT, but so far, I've not found an easy way to access those, NOR have I found an online page, where all of those are listed, categorized, along with (and most importantly), an easy walk-through on how to access those. This instrument came with 5 stock on-board surface sounds, and on the far right a 6th button that says "other" If I say select EP I see "001 Galaxia EP" .. if I hit that button again, I see "025 Amp Clavi" if I hit the button a third time .. I see "031 Ambient Vibes" ... If I hit the button a fourth time .... I'm back to "001 Galaxia EP" With the exception of the button on the far right that says "other" which scrolls through 14 sounds ... the first 5 buttons only scroll through about 2, or 3 or sounds each, before returning to the original. This is frustrating, and therefore, to me ... so far ... this instrument only has about 30 sounds. I feel very stupid asking for help on this, but please help me. I'm willing to bet that I'm not the first person to have this problem, and I probably will not be the last. Checking YouTube, I've found several more advanced videos, on how to edit the sounds of the instrument, and those are quite good, but HOW in the world do I say, easily scroll through, and one by one, audition, all of the Rhodes sounds that this instrument has (I'm guessing there are at least 5 STOCK Rhodes sounds) , or all of the synth sounds, or all of the acoustic piano sounds? I'll bet there are at least 20 acoustic piano sounds. Where are they? If you please, is there a video that covers the absolute RAW BASICS on how to navigate this instrument, explaining how to access the many sounds it has? OR, almost as good, can you just tell me how to access all the sounds here? Once I can do that, THEN I can go on to the edit sounds videos, and experience all of the other wonderful things this instrument can do. Information on how to access, and navigate through the many sounds of the Casio PX-S3000, is what would help me tremendously at this point, and I would be very grateful. Thank you all, and have a great weekend! Joe

I haven't seen any PX-S3000 files to download yet. The factory sounds are excellent, but it would be great if we could start building up some creative content to share.

Hi Friends I recently bought a PX-560m and I haven't found too many tones for it. Can I use tones from another model? Is there a way to convert sounds from PX5S to PX-560M? Is there any software you in Casio have or other you know to make some new sounds for this great piano? Best Regards Abaid Rosales

Just saw a post from Mike Martin about David Weiser's vintage keyboard presets to be released for the PX-560 after NAMM. PianoManChuck also mentions it in one of his videos. http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2799520/4.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R10QJNQT7Bk Thanks Mike and PianoManChuck. Fantastic news!!

Does anyone know of a resource where it is possible to download CASIO AS-20 audio files to use with a sampler?

Hello everyone. My new song is here. (All of keyboard parts recorded by Casio XW-P1)

wassup guys,please help me,i have a xw-p1 and my band and i love play hillsong,but some hillsong songs have to many sounds that i have troubles to perfome,they are pads and synths;please help me to found or create thats sounds,thanks.some examples:

Hi, i'm looking for a good 70' phaser strings for my px-5s, i tried different setup but none of these works well. i need this sound for some parts of moonflower by Santana, i think in the past they used an arp solina to do this sound. Any suggestion is welcome. Marco

is there anyway to load different sounds on the casio xw-p1

Hello, Hope that all are having a great day. My questions involve how exactly to connect the privia px5s to an external sound module. 1) How would i connect the privia px5s to an external sound module? 2) How would I connect/ rig it to be able to control 4 channels of midi with the sliders or knobs? 3) Is there a way to trigger sounds from an external sound module and also use sounds from the casio privia 5s such as lets say i like the piano sound in the casio privia 5s on one song but on the next song i want to use my external sound module's fender rhodes sound? 4) If there is a way for number 3 , would there be a way to control sounds from the privia px 5s and the external sound module with the sliders like through midi zones or something ? like one slider control the privia px5s piano and another slider control the external sound modules brass, etc? I konw with all the technical questions you may say to just get a midi-controller and be done with it, but I really love privia px5s because i want something with sounds already in it for different situations and also just in case something would happen to my external sound module. I always try to be prepared for what ever situation. Im sorry for being too techincal though.. but defintily thank you for all the replies.. Much appreciated

Hello, Mike. Hopefully you had a great holiday season and having a good day today, good sir.. I have been doing extensive research on this great stage piano and i must say that i am very very close to making a purchase. I've watched almost all of your videos and other musician's reviews/ demos on youtube for this keyboard and must say that it is defintiely a winner from what i've seen . However, I am curious about if this keyboard offers a "SINE WAVE LEAD" patch with portamento effect? and Does this keyboard have predominately the same sounds and architecture as the Casio XW-P1 like for example the bass sound.. ? And also, does casio offer a way to upload new "TONES" / "SOUNDS" into the keyboard such as with roland and yamaha like from casio's website?

On my new PX-5s, which I have had for about a week, I am curious if I want to download a new sound or stage setting, especially some written or used by Mike Martin, will I have to replace a factory sound or stage setting? I suppose in the matter of stage settings in particular as there are 100 of them, to add a new one would mean taking the place of an existing one? Is so can I put sounds or stage settings on a USB drive for use directly from the drive or would they need to reside on board to use during a performance?

Hello My name is Nikolaj and I'm new to this forum. I am very seriously considering purchasing the PX-5S, but I just have one question. I am a Pro Tools user and I am curious if I will be able to use the sounds of the keyboard within this DAW?? To clarify: I am aware that I will be able to record it as audio, but that's not really what I'm looking for since I would like to have the ability to quantize, remove wrong notes, change melody and stuff like that after I record it. And change tempo... I think I have made myself clear, and I hope that someone will be able to answer Have a good day! Regards Nikolaj

Hey fellow keyboardist since I've started out to re-invent my musical skills on synthesizers I wondered where to start, It isn't easy to be a beginner in understanding sound wave's and soundscape building. So I always venture out to seek video's tutorials to help me out and all though those are fine starting points there always that little more basic you need to really understand stuff that go's on under the hood and how you can do it on you're own or rebuild the same sound you hear. The following weeks I'll review these books and what I learned so far if it really helped to become more quaint with the synth as a beginner. So here are my book tips of the month that might help some of you out a little. First book is 200 drum patterns for drum machine and because the XW synth has an formidable drum machine with an input style the like of the classic drum machine I though it to be a good starting point to expand and diversify on style and rhymes instead of re-inventing and work around to get an particular pattern. http://www.scribd.com/doc/33852257/200-Drum-Patterns-for-Drum-Machines http://www.amazon.co.uk/Two-Hundred-Drum-Machine-Patterns/dp/0881886327 Second book I crossed on several synth forum got my interest also because of the title, "Keyboard present steal that sound" now I know that most of us want to copy a sound we hear from some song we heard or know and that not always easy if you don't recognize the elements the sound is build up according to the reviews i've read its a series of articles from a magazine and soft synth are used to build the sounds the principle the same and can be used to all kind of synth thus the XW. This one I'm certainly going to review in the comming weeks here on the forum if some of you have these book in any kind of form please fill in you're experience. http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Presents-Steal-This-Sound/dp/1423492811

My band usually wants me playing electric piano on blues...seems to fit with the otherwise guitar-driven sound we have. I REALLY wanted a gravelly Rhodes sound, but none of the eight electrics quite did it. So, I opted for the one that was most metallic and had the most dialed-in tremelo, the "60s electric piano". One night, I thought I broke my PX-330! We were doing a request: Joy To the World by Three Dog Night. The keyboard was mixed particularly quietly that night, so I found myself beating on it pretty hard. Yay, Casio, it takes the abuse. But my ears went into shock when I heard the perfect metallic clank of a properly played Rhodes - coming from my PX-330! But only for a few notes, then back to the more bell-like tones that are a poor sub. I immediately realized that the patch plays a completely different sample when you strike the keys hard. Not a more aggressive sounding version of the same sample, but it's as if they sampled two completely different instrumenst. Back home I explored it further and confirmed it. Seems that of the "layered" voices, there's one that doesn't fit the rest in that patch...and I wish it were the normal one. I experimented with the touch sensitivity, but no matter how sensitive I set it, my fingers/hands do not have the strength to reliablity coax that unusual sample out of the instrument. On the whole, I'd say the patch is defective. I'd love to see it always sound like a Rhodes, but second best would be always sound like the "60s electric piano" normally does. Is there a software upgrade for this kind of issue, or did I really break it? Thanks, Clums
