MOVIE STRINGS
First shot at some cinematic sounds. The goal is for some versatile strings for scoring. Velocity in the lower octaves will bring in a timpani for extra impact. This is a work in progress so don't just download and run! Play around with it and give me some feedback so I can make it better.

Thick Strings
By Gypsysinger1
I needed a thick string sound. My favorite was from an old Alesis QS 6.1. So I got both the Alesis and the PX 5S together and kept adding stuff until I got what I needed, which was a stand alone sting sound. I did customize a hex layer so put it in first and everything should line up. I'm still pretty new to all this, I'll try and create the same file on the XW-P1.

Philharmonic
By Ebonivor
This stage setting is inspired by, and partly based on, Kates String. It is my attempt at providing orchestral variety in one stage setting. Mixing the string tones with Sliders 1, 2 and 3 provides a range of tones from mellow to bright; adding the Orchestra tone from zone 2 gives punch; and brass can be turned on or of as required. I hope you find it useful.
The tones are: Zone 1, WarmStrings2; Zone 2, Orchestra; Zone 3, Syn-Strings1; Zone 4, BriteStrings.
Controls:
Knob 1: Reverb (all zones)
Knob 2: EQ High Gain (all zones)
Knob 3: Attack (zones 1, 3 & 4)
Knob 4: Release (zones 1, 3 & 4)
Slider 1: zone 1 volume
Slider 2: zone 3 volume
Slider 3: zone 4 volume
Slider 4: zones 1, 3 & 4 expression (reversed action)
Slider 5: zone 2 volume and on/off*
Slider 6: zone 1 layer 6 (brass section) on/off and volume.
Pedal 1: Soft (all zones)
Pedal 2: zone 2 on/off
*Note: Slider 5 is set to turn zone 2 on or off in case Pedal 2 is not available. If the second pedal is available, I recommend setting Target 2 of the control to No Assign and just leaving the Volume control for the zone.
I have included a PDF that details the Stage Setting parameters.

BrassFallsRelease
By jaspeter
This stage setting is a rip-off from the one that Mike Martin created. It occured to me the other day as I was snooping the MIDI data from the PX-5S. At first, I thought it was annoying that Casio decided to use a "Note Off" message instead of a "Note On: Velocity Zero" message to end notes. For processing purposes, it added extra code to handle the different messages. But then I noticed that the Note Off messages really did carry the information about how quickly the key is released.
So, in this setting, hex layer 1 does normal note-on/note-off behavior for "nominal" playing rates. But if the keys are released very slowly, hex layer 2 kicks in and initiates the "fall" effect. There are some other snazzy things that one could do, but I don't have time to follow that tangent at the moment. I had really no reason to do this now except out of curiosity. I thought someone might find it useful, though.
The MP3 is a quick sample to see what it sounds like.

Anthem Orchestra
By Ebonivor
I made this stage setting for performing Anthem from Chess, hence the name. Slider 6 brings in the Oboe for the intro and bridge and pedal 2 brings in the Orchestra for dynamic emphasis, particularly for the triplets near the end of the piece.
Thanks to the author of Kates String for the inspiration and foundation of this stage setting.
There are two versions of this stage setting; AnthemOrchV1 and AnthemOrchV2.
AnthemOrchV1 has all sliders, except Slider 6, work in reverse i.e. moving them up lowers the value, similar to organ drawbars. This avoids the jump the sudden change in level when a slider is moved from its home position. Since this might seem unnatural for many users, I have made a second version, AnthemOrchV2, that has all sliders expect for Slider 3 (Expression) set to work in the normal mode.
The tones are: Zone 1, WarmStrings2; Zone 2, Orchestra; Zone 3, Syn-Strings1; Zone 4, GM Oboe.
Controls:
Knob 1: Reverb (all zones)
Knob 2: Cutoff (Zones 1 & 3)
Knob 3: Attack (zones 1, 3 & 4)
Knob 4: Release (zones 1, 3 & 4)
Slider 1: zone 1 volume
Slider 2: zone 3 volume
Slider 3: zones 1 & 3 expression
Slider 4: zone 2 volume & on/off*
Slider 5: zone 4 volume
Slider 6: zone 4 on/off
Pedal 1: Release (zone 4)
Pedal 2: zone 2 on/off
*Note: Slider 4 is set to turn zone 2 on or off in case Pedal 2 is not available. If the second pedal is available, I recommend setting Target 2 of the control to No Assign and just leaving the Volume control for the zone.
I have included a PDF that details the Stage Setting parameters.

Brass Trio
By jaspeter
This Stage Setting uses three arpeggios on three zones to separate a tuba, trombone, and trumpet into the lowest, middle, and highest notes of a triad. Because it's an arpeggio, the main "gotcha" is that it repeats. However, the step size is set to be a quarter note to help minimize this effect. You can also press the sustain pedal and release the keys for a full sustain with no repeats.
The attached MP3 has a "before and after". The first sample is with the arpeggiator turned off. All voices are sounding on all notes in unison. The second sample is with the arpeggiator on, separating the instruments.
I chose brass sounds in response to an old post in the forums about the "more perfect brass section," but I'm sure there could be plenty of other applications!

Bella Maker
By zebra555
I thought this was a fun patch to experiment with. If credit is due to using others patches/settings to make this in the forum, then "Thanks". I just modified someone else's settings they had probably previously submitted. I can't remember what I started with.
This has a light bell arpeggio with strings and brass to compliment. Thanks and have fun with it.
