Rick Stirling Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I got really tired of searching through 5 different manuals when trying to look up something, so I concatenated them into one PDF file. You can search all 5 files at once. ;-) Combined Manuals Included: Web_MZX500_300-ES-1A_EN.pdf (USERS GUIDE BASICS) Web_MZX500_300-E-2A_EN.pdf (USERS GUIDE TUTORIAL) Web_MZX500APPEND-140-WL-1A_EN.pdf (APPENDIX) MZX_midi_imple_EN.pdf (MIDI IMPLEMENTATION) Web_MZX500_300-150-E-1A_EN.pdf (FIRMWARE VERSION 1.50 USERS GUIDE) Note: Casio has used the same page numbers across all their manuals, so for example you will find two EN-22 pages, one in Web_MZX500_300-ES-1A_EN.pdf and the other in Web_MZX500_300-E-2A_EN.pdf. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks for your help Rick. I've split your post into another topic so anyone can reply to this if they want to add anything.. I've added a link to this topic in the pinned post. I've locked that thread so it doesn't turn into a discussion thread, becoming unorganized.

Rudolph R-N R Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks Rick, anything to make it easier to find info! So when you do a search it simply shows all the results, some of them showing potentially multiples of a same page number. That’s cool, the important thing is having it all show up in one search. But when i tried to add it to iBooks, it didn’t give me that option. I normally just tap the top of the page of a file downloaded in a web page, and iOS gives me the option to open it in iBooks. Compared to scrolling up and down, i find iBooks approach to be faster and more intuitive. Any clues how to do this? Thanks again, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Stirling Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Not sure Randy. I'll get my iPad out of moth balls and see if I can find out what's going on. The file is a plain PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlenK Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 For the record I was able to import it into iBooks on a 4th gen 64GB iPad running 10.3.3. Mind you, ever since I did the last software update importing a PDF into iBooks takes f..o..r..e..v..e..r. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web_MZX500_300-150-E-1A_EN.pdf (FIRMWARE VERSION 1.50 USERS GUIDE) Thanks, Rick. Very helpful. 1) Where do I find the "standalone" version of the 1.5 version users guide. I checked the Casio Support website and it only had up to 1.4 2) I would like a Excel or Numbers (preferred) spreadsheet of all the Appendix Lists so that I can sort or rearrange them in any order. Basically sorting the Appendices: Tone List, Versatile Tone List, Rhythm List, Music Preset List, Arpeggio Type List, Wave List, (Hex Layer & Bass Synth), Wave List, and Pad Bank List.

PeteT Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi guys and gals, l’m Pete and I just got an MZX 500. I’m trying to get familiar with it. Can anyone point me to the updated pdf with firmware 1.60 included? The page Rick Stirling hyperlinked to showed a 404 message. Thx for your help. I’ve got a few questions about this beast, but I’ll create a topic for that. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
