AlenK Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have to guess there is nothing spectacular from Casio or someone attending would have mentioned it somewhere already. Perhaps they have no new music products at all. I see no press releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 There is indeed a new XW on the block... but it isn't a synth.. it is the XW-J1 DJ Controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Also these nifty new headphones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlenK Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I guess you could stretch the definition of "musical instrument" and apply it to the XW-J1 DJ controller. But we already knew that was coming. Headphones, however... Color me extremely disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysale Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm disappointedLast autumn saw headphones and DJ Controller. at the exhibition in Moscow. This Vestax the owners of which was Casio (fully or partially I do not know)Headphones very funny, they can twist anything flexible. But the DJ Controller shown in Moscow disappointed, there was lace only to connect the old version of the Ipad, Ipod, I hope that this is now fixed.Maybe still will be new? I know that something should be.Dear employees Casio - certainly NOTHING NEW in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced the the XWs at NAMM 2012, the PX-5S at NAMM 2013... now here is NAMM 2014 and we don't have a new pro synth announcement..... hmmm... something huge in the works???? IDK....And yes the headphones are very cool.. now the decision is go with the white to match the 5S or grey to match the XW?.... Hmmmm.. I think grey!

AS77 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 When can we see PX5S news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 One more item.. the Chordana Viewer App. This is great for learning new songs! Load in a song via iTunes, the app will analyze it and produce a chord chart. Connect your IOS device to a lighted keyboard and the keys light up to show you how to play it.

AlenK Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well, that at least is directly musical. I think it's a good sign. They announced the the XWs at NAMM 2012, the PX-5S at NAMM 2013... now here is NAMM 2014 and we don't have a new pro synth announcement..... hmmm... something huge in the works???? IDK....It means that we likely won't see whatever they are cooking up (and of course they are cooking something up) until summer NAMM, if then.

dc2k Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 As for me, I'd be happy seeing nothing new. The xws and the the px5s are still brand new. They need to sell before Casio brings out something else and if nothing else comes out, it means Casio will still be marketing and releasing new stuff for the px-5s like Mike Martin's stage settings and videos. If they release something that bested the 5x, I would have buyer's remorse and all their drive would be put into marketing that. I have only brushed the surface of what the 5x is capable of and I like reading these forums for all the bits I pick up and all the settings, tones and everything else the community post too. A new product would divert some of that. Now if they released a xw combo synth, I'd be okay with that because I haven't got one yet and though I'm settled on the G1 but would like the P1 features too Have to say too, I am very interested in the headphones because Casio tends to release products which are quality and pack a lot for extremely competitive prices. I'm looking for a pair of headphones. I even asked on this forum for suggestions so I'll deffo be looking into these. I like the look of the decks but I just have no idea how to use them, wouldn't mind learning though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
