Patrick Arend Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Super cool, those xw's show no sign's of slowing down. I could be wrong ,but it seem's like the xw's keep growing in popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the PX-5S REALLY got the spotlight on Casio... so people are starting to take note of what a great value they are. Case in point, I would not have go a G1 if I didn't get the PX-5S first. Casio wasn't on my radar until the PX-5S... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Arend Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 And that big award the px-5s recently won is even more proof that casio is back. I know that had to turn a few head's, and change a few mind's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoovJazzy55 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I said Casio is BACK, and I'm thinking we haven't seen anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XW-Addict Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Where can I read more about the Award the PX5S gotten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Where can I read more about the Award the PX5S gotten?There's not really any write-ups that I have found... Here's the jist of it:"At the 2014 NAMM show in Anaheim, The Music & Sound Retailer will present the 28th Annual Music & Sound Awards. As you know, a Music & Sound Award is the industry’s most prestigious award, and the only award based on a poll of every American dealer and manufacturer; it is the only award that is NOT selected by an editorial board or influenced by advertising revenue."The list of 2013 winners is here:http://www.msretailer.com/msr/manufacturersales-rep-winners/Also worth noting, the XW-P1 won that same award (Best Keyboard / Sound Module) last year... so yeah - Casio is back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Arend Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wow Scott, I didn't know the xw-p1 won that award too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wow Scott, I didn't know the xw-p1 won that award too. Yup! The XW-P1 has actually won 4 HUGE awards in the last couple of years:- Electronic Musician’s “2013 Editors’ Choice Awards for Affordable Synth Awesomeness” (yes that is a real award!)- The Music & Sound Retailer “Best Keyboard and Sound Module Award of 2012.- Keyboard Magazine Keybuy Award- NAMM Best in Show 2012 These awards all given by music pros not the general public - so they know what the P1 represents. I know I am preaching to the choir here but when you think about what you get in a $500, 12 pound package it's kind of crazy. Solid sounds, unique sequencing, drawbar organ mode, MIDI controller, etc, etc, etc, etc,... And the thing will run FOREVER on D-cells... It's a no-brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Arend Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wow! again Scott, I alway's thought the xw's were special. So many award's . For a short period of time I was begining to think that I was over the top with my love for the xw's, but knowing these award's exist, let's me know im not over the top. Thank's for alway's having great info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
