Mike Martin Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We've started a Soundcloud page with audio from the PX-5S. Many of these clips were done at NAMM. Many of the presets I programmed in the nights before the show. Some of these will be built-in to the PX-5S, some will be downloadable user presets.

pjprevitejr Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for sharing, Mike. The last two clips are very intriguing. On the organ tone, are we hearing that new "Double Rotary" effect you had referred to earlier? I can also definitely hear a chorus going on as well- sounds really good!

Mike Martin Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 It is an all new rotary effect. It has V1, C1, V2, C2, V3, C3 (Vibrato / Chorus) choices as well as the rotary effect itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjprevitejr Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wow! That is awesome. I do hope that Casio's factories are ramping up for sizeable production of these keyboards because I think they are going to fly off the shelves. One of 'em will be flying my way, for certain. Can't wait to take a peek at the Owner's Manual! :-) Thanks much for your updates, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 There will be two owners manuals. The one that is included in the box is a very simple overview book. It explains the different modes of operation, connections and other navigational issues. There will be a second manual which will be download only. This one will go into more depth on the editing features, phrase sequencer and such. They've made some very positive software changes in the last couple weeks some of which required changes in the manual. I'll see if I can find out any more details on the release dates for online.

Would be fun to run the XW-P1 organ through this new rotary effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tobiwan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Mike - some really cool stuff with the PX5s. Hey - with Casio stepping up the game the last few years - anything new coming in the land of "keytar" like the old AZ-1...? Would be cool - those are coming back ya know ..

willf Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Mike,is there any chance of producing some audio clips of the more 'orchestral' sounds, such as strings, brass and woodwind. I would be very interested to hear how they compare with the PX-3. (I do realise that they can be layered using the hex layer capability).On the subject of layering: will Casio be releasing any information with regard to sounds that reference the same samples? This would save time when producing layers as you would/should be able to avoid phase interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjprevitejr Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 @ Mike... On my PX-3, I use the following organ sounds (in some cases, layered & 1 octave apart):JAZZ ORGAN 1ROCK ORGAN 2DRAWBAR ORGAN 1-3ELEC. ORGAN 1Is there a chance that we might get to hear any of the above sounds in the PX-5S and, if so, could we hear it through that Double Rotary Effect (fast & slow speeds)?Thanks!

Mike Martin Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 We will but probably not for a week or so. We're in the middle of some major software and preset work for the PX-5S and that is where my focus is for the next several days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjprevitejr Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Totally understandable. I think I speak for everyone on this Forum when I say that we really appreciate the time, thought and effort that you've put into responding to all of our questions and comments.

Dattaa Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Mike - Nice job on the latest PX-5S SoundCloud demos:PX-5S Reverbed PianoPX-5S Pad and ArpeggiosThey're clean, clear 'n' crisp - just the right amount of DSP efx overall!The playing is smart - subtle to display the 5S's sensitive responsiveness, yet, also expressive to demonstrate its brilliant dynamics.Great job Mike. You've been listening to the forums and integrating the feedback into new demos! Keep up the excellent work ol' bean! And continued kudos to Casio EMI engineers too, who've been very busy of late!d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
