User 29303 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 so after we all played now a long time with the PX5 and also programmed some own sound what is your wishlist ? : for me: Writing the patches to the Stage Number where i am actually ,,,often i push the write button and my 0.0 Patch is overweriten.. Drum Library from Casio added to the PX5 as Phrases or Arpeggio.. replacement of the GM Guitars & Strings with bit more authenthic and warmer Waves... Stereo Spread Effect... and a new routing of the Moduation Sources in the Hex Layer ,,,,LFO can be triggered by Waves orZ1 -Z6 can be used to modulate each other ,...

Padking Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I agree concerning the guitars, they are not very good. I would like to be able to use the yes or nobuttons to change stage settings it's king of a drag to have to press on bank and on numbers tochange them, it work's with tones why not stage settings ?

piano_71 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Here's my wish list for the next generation (PX-7S?) - Incorporate the rhythm/accompaniment features of the WK-7600- Add the step sequencer from the XW-series- Incorporate the sampler features of the XW-G1, and/or flash RAM to load user / 3rd-party sample libraries- Increase sample ROM and swap in new, higher-quality samples (particularly horns, guitars, strings, ethnic instruments, etc.)- USB digital recording to the computer- More knob/slider control of parameters rather than menu-diving- Built-in support for half-pedal sustain and expression pedal, maybe even offer a stand / 3-pedal option like for the Privia console digital pianos- Increase stage settings memory slots from 100 to 1,000 Basically, this would take the best features of the different Casio models and roll them into a single powerhouse keyboard. I know, such a thing would actually cost about $2,000 if brought to market. But that would be one board that does everything that a PX-5S ($1,000), XW-G1 ($600), XW-P1 ($500), and WK-7600 ($450) can do, so overall it's a more cost-effective option than four keyboards that total $2,550.

TomasJones Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I REALLY wanted to consider this board. That said, I HAVE TO have an expression pedal. I work splits need it to effect only one zone. If I have to pay an extra $150 for a MIDI Solutions controller box, then I have to expand my search to other keyboards. I find it hard to comprehend why this was excluded, given the I/O layout. If it had an expression feature, given the reviews, I would have likey bought it; sight unseen. Cheers, TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobiwankinobe Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Patch remain without volume jumps (to/from Hex layers too..) or cut outs for me. Patch remain was a selling feature that I chose the PX5s - it is not quite there current state - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elecmuse3 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 PX6 wishes # 212-219:In order of my particular priorities, highest first:1) resample the plinky 5th C/C# notes (I used a more polite description than I'd prefer). I don't care if this is somewhat costly to fix, it's horrible. So many other things on this keyboard are wonderful, this doesn't make sense. 2) an expression pedal input, and at least a 3rd pedal jack, allowing one for expression, one for fully variable damping (not just off, 1/2, on) & a 3rd for another sustain or toggle. I could personally use a 4th, though most wouldn't need it. Probably worth the (my rough guess) $10-$15 added to retail. 3) 9 sliders, keeping the knobs. Should be little design/development cost to Casio since they have this already. And, a few 9-drawbar organ programs to start us off, which given the wonderful community here will quickly grow. 4) Easy access to more than 100 stage settings; I have way over 100 songs I regularly could use distinct settings for, sometimes for just a small difference like speed and depth of electric piano vibrato. Could they be saved/accessed on the external storage/USB port, kinda like my Alesis QS? 5) reduce the width of what in the acoustic piano world are called cheek blocks, the bits to either side of the actual keys. If they were even 3/8" smaller, the PX would fit in a 76 key case. My Alesis QS8 did, and thereby fit in a 7" shorter & cheaper case. 6) at least one additional output, for those of us with a great sounding "leslie" pedal like the Ventilator or other outboard FX. Two more wouldn't seem as cheap as just adding one. For those not familiar with the manufacturing game, remember that there's a cost for programming as well as for hardware, which applies to most of my list. 7) All four main zones using hex layers. I realize this would take not only programming $ but more memory & therefore hardware $, which is why it's low on my list. After all, listen to how much great sound is here already! 8) right side up MIDI jacks. Many cables have a screw which goes upright and is an instant cue; it's an annoyance to have to fidget with the cord currently. I'm sure as soon as I post this, I'll remember some more wishes.
