Brad Saucier Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ALTORDR2.ZAL = "Alternate Order". The download description outlines the difference in this version as compared to the original. Choose the one you wish to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepngbear Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 New PX-5S owner (like less than 24 hours new), and new forum member at the recommendation of a few other owners. I just downloaded and installed the ALTORDR2 file, also at the recommendation of a few other owners. All I can say is, 'Wow'. I was initially a little disappointed with the factory non-piano sounds, but since I bought this mostly for the pianos, it wasn't a big deal. But the lush strings and pads that have been tweaked out of this thing in this update -- at least the few I've sampled so far -- are nothing short of impressive. Awesome work, Mike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike99 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Mike: its been almost a year, any updates to this file yet? I want to install it but if you come out withan update next week and I have to install it again I would be very cross. :/ I have a XW-P1 that has the sounds layed out in order like that and it's much easier to access what you are looking for as opposed to the G1 groove! Oh yea, the XW-P1 came with the 'Tutorial and cost half as much as a PX-5s! I think not including the 'tutorial with the PX-5s is a stingy oversite. At best it looks like you guys hired Mr. Haney' from Green Acres to sell this piano & string you on for the list of sounds in it and how you program the frickin' thing! I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why they layed out the tones in such a random order and then expect you (Mike Martin) to have to 'goose it up for them! ... Best Wishes, Spike 99 ...

Brad Saucier Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The tones on the PX-5s are organized like on the XW-P1. The tones are on the buttons left of the screen on the PX-5s and are categorized by type. Similar to what's on the XW-P1. Stage settings are NOT tones. Stage settings are kin to the XW-P1 performances. This is what Mike's update is. It's a reorganization of the original factory stage settings with some replaced by improved alternates taken from stage settings that have been programmed and uploaded to the forums since the PX-5s was released. Also. the factory stage settings are in order. In the factory arrangement, stage settings are categorized by their last number rather than first number. (example: 0-0 Concert Grand) Stage settings ending in these numbers are.... 0 - Pianos1 - Electric Pianos2 - Wurlys3 - Synths / Leads4 - Clavs / Harpsichords5 - Strings / Orchestral / Brass6 - Organs7 - Hex Layers / Pads / Synths8 - Arpeggiated Sounds9 - Phrase and Arpeggiated Sounds It was done this way for out-of-the-box immediate access to a variety of sounds from within one bank. Also, these are all user stage settings. They are completely programmable or organizable into whatever the owner wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzooo Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 This is so embarrassing but I'm having a problem downloading this soundest. Just got my Px5s today and loving it, but I'm not used to dealing with the Casio OS and I'm getting stuck. here's the thing: when I click 'download' I get a link to download a pdf of the sounds. Nothing else. What am I doing wrong? I'm downloading onto a Mac with Snow Leopard. Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three files on the download page at http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/download/724-px-5s-updated-all-file/You want the ones that end with ".zal" - one is the "standard order", the other is the "alternative order".. same sounds just different arrangements in the banks.The other file is the PDF as you found out. Let me know if you need more help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymb1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've downloaded the .ZAL to my flash drive - MUSICDAT folder. I'm able to scroll to patches I've downloaded but the .ZAL file won't show up on my 5s? Never mind. Still new at this. I was forgetting to select ALL DATA.

Nicko Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi all, New PX-5S owner here - these forums were a great resource when choosing the keyboard, and having Mike in here is fantastic - this was a major factor in my decision, so thanks to all contributors! I installed the Alt Order file, and it works just fine. Like others I wanted a list of all the Alt Order stage settings to reference, so I put together a Google Sheets document that anyone can view which is sortable by Original or Alt order: Casio PX-5S Stage Settings v2.5 Now my question - when going through each sound in the Alt order, I found that there seems to be a duplicate stage setting: "Clav/PedWah2" is at 4-2 and 4-8, and both sound the same to me (I didn't look into whether there were any slider/knob assignment differences). In the original order PDF in the download, there is a stage setting "Clav2Ped Wah" at 2-4 instead, and that name isn't in the Alt order at all. Is this an error when copying the stage settings around to create the Alt order? If so, can we get an update with the missing sound restored? (I guess this is addressed to Mike!) Also - I can't seem to click the "Follow this topic" button. Anyone know how to do this? [Edit - this works now] Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymb1 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) How do I load everything on my 5s to a flash drive? Ray Never mind. Figured it out. Just didn't look hard enough. Edited February 25, 2016 by raymb1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negriljerry Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The Alternate Order DL saved me many hours of rearranging stage settings, I could never get by with the original banks. FIRST, assuming you have created/modded many of your own stage settings: back up the whole package as described above, except from the media display select SAVE and ALL. Load the new pack as described. THEN cherry-pick the new settings Mike has created and save the ones you want to keep individually to USB drive / computer. Finally reload your whole stage settings pack and then you can overwrite settings as you please with the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made the changes to replace one of the duplicate sounds with the missing one from the original stage settings. If Mike isn't still active, I'll upload this file (with an updated PDF of the alt order), but it would be better not to "branch" this file.

Renaud Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi, does the 8 black sounds selection buttons works like before (from piano at the left to hex layer at the right) ? Are the sounds correctly dispatched at the good place in these buttons (with the new order) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This file only reorganized the stage settings. The tone bank is not part of stage setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
