PX 150 - PX 350 COMPARASION !

[ptt1404]

I AM HAVING 2 KEYBOARDS WITH ME RIGHT ME ! OH MAN I CAN TELL HOW I LOVE THE SOUND OF PX 150, VERY FRESH AND DEEP SOUND. I ESPECIALLY LOVE PRNOCLASSIC NUMBER 4 OF PIANO, IT'S SWEAT LIKE A CAKE. COMPARE IT WITH PX 350, I TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED HOW BAD THE PX 350 IS. THE KEY FEELING IS ABOUT THE SAME, BUT PIANO SOUND BY ITSELF IS HORRIBLE (NOT SPEAKER). ALL OF MY LEFT CHORD KEYS HAVE DISTORTION EVEN I TRY TO PLAY SOFTLY (WHICH KILLS MY FEELINGS). FURTHERMORE, PIANO SOUND NUMBER 4 PRNOCLASSIC IS SO QUIET AND MUFFLED.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN I SETUP PX 350 EQ. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I wouldn't think there should be those kinds of problems with the 350. Maybe you should try resetting it (there should be instructions how to do that somewhere, either here on the forums, at the Casio web site, or in the manual).

I agree with Joe 100%, sounds like a malfunction.

 

To reset the PX-350 (on page 6 in manual) 1) turn off PX-350. 2) press and hold down "GM tones" and "Function" buttons at the same time and keep pressed down while pressing the power on button.

 

My PX350 sounds as close to a concert grand as I've ever heard with a digital, throughout it's entire range. The bottom octaves are very impressive-I've been able to play any typical acoustic piano style I can and never a problem-walking bass lines, jazz comping, boogie, stride, classical all work well with this.

 

There is no real "equalizer" control in the PX-350 but you can set the "brilliance" (page 12 in the manual) and "touch" (page 43-44 in manual) which will help bring out the high-end frequencies a bit. These are "global" settings-affect all sounds although individual "tones" in the PX-350 have their brilliance and touch settings permanently stored with the tone. You can only modify these settings with individual tones stored in memory by saving the tone in a "registration".  Speakers will sound a little muffled from your playing position-these fire out the back and sound fine if you listen from the back of the PX-350 or set it up near a hard wall or other similar surface but through headphones should sound perfectly fine. Some of the acoustic pianos in the PX350 have more high-end filtering than others-i don't particularly care for some of the more muffled ones (dolce piano is a little too filtered for my taste but still playable). If resetting doesn't fix this, i'd contact Casio tech support.
