I have been very well pleased with my WK-200 since I bought it. The emulations of the Rhodes and Wurlitzer are quite close. The Wurlitzer uses reeds as pickup devices and the typical naming convention that Casio follows is 60s EP. And with the Rhodes, Casio uses a variety of names; E.Piano1, Dyno EP1 and my personal favorite E.Pno1 G (GM). These very closely reproduce the sound of a hammer striking a metal tine; that's how the Rhodes is designed

Hello friends, I'd like to check with you if you have any ideas to improve the 60's electric piano of XW-P1, which is the one that comes more closer to a Wurlitzer electric piano. Do you have any ideas, or a sound of your own that you can share? Take care!!

Hey gang, just picked up my PX-5s via Ebay. Had some stuck key/broken stuff... had to open her up, remove keybed, and click a couple "hammers" back into place. All good, now. I'm obsessed with electric pianos. I own a Nord Electro 5HP, and man, the Rhodes are where it's AT, in my opinion... the pianos are also quite lovely. But I wanted to get the PX-5s for the variety... the synths, the arpeggiator, 88 keys, all the extra stuff.... So mainly, I'm looking for the absolute MOST REALISTIC Rhodes and Wurlys.... mainly because, in my indie-pop duo, I would like my singer to have access to either my Nord, or the PX-5s, for live... as I will be playing live keys and guitar (and harmony vocals), and she will be doing live keys and vocals. We just want a nice mix of Grand / Rhodes... or like Rhodes / Wurly... or.. Grand / Wurly... whatever is needed to fill out the sound, live (in addition to my laptop playing backing tracks... bass, drumbeats, etc). I have downloaded a ton of patches made by Mike Martin and other members.. which I greatly appreciate. Look forward to adding these to my PX-5s. I also downloaded the "ALL" set, which organizes the stage settings more practically... bank0 - pianos, bank1 - electric pianos, bank2 - wurly... etc. Speaking of Wurlys.... I have checked out all the Wurlys built-in and none of them have the bark I want... not even close. I am looking for the "You're My Best Friend" bark. I really want THAT sound... I got that sound in my Nord just with a little tweaking and amp sim (and a Rhodes, layered under it... not the main Rhodes from the Nord Piano Library, but one from the Sample Library since you can't layer two EPs in the Nords).... anyway, I would love to get this Wurly sound in the PX-5s. Wondering if you guys could chime in and really help me find the BEST sounds.... also, if there's any way to get some nice Uprights added to the PX-5s... I'm not a grand piano fan, so much as an Upright fan. I just love that "fullness" and "room sound" that Uprights have. Thank you for ANY help... great to be here! -Chris
