  1. I WANT an MZ-X500, mostly due to the awesome videos from Ralph Maten on YouTube. (I suspect he has done some serious custom editing on his MZ to do what he does.). If the MZ-X500 was 76 keys, I would have bought one already. (Maybe for NAMM in January...please Casio!) So...articulations. I can't get my hands on an MZ anywhere but I played the Yamaha PSR-S970 yesterday and the Super Articulations are ... WOW! Can the MZ-X500 create these articulations (fret slides, keyoffs) in the melody hand while playing (like the Yamaha) or do I have to hit pads or special keys in the lower register to trigger these random (but gorgeous) nuances? I looked at the Appendix pg 15, referencing "Versatile Tones" but I'm still not clear on this. Thanks all.

      This would be better to start a thread in the MZX forum so the answer can be there to help others who may have the same question.  To answer, nuances are triggered either by velocity or playing certain notes outside of the low guitar range.  

  3. How do I get the MZX sample manager app? No results on App Store for iOS.
  4. There are no MZ-X300 keyboards in my area. What about other electronic pianos that might be the same sounds interface?
  5. I am getting paralysis by analysis... Please help. Here is the question, read carefully: Ignoring price and onboard speakers, what does the MZ-X500 give me that the Roland FA-07 does not. It just seems like there's more in the FA-07. More sounds, better sounds, better acoustic modeling, more articulations, more presets, more layered sound capability, more live control knobs, more keys (76), and a vocoder! But I still am attracted to this amazing Casio machine! (Thanks for nothing Mr. Rich Formidoni, Casio smarty-pants and overall nice guy!) Anyway, please answer if you know the answer. Opinions are less relevant, but still appreciated.
  6. I would like to purchase an MZ-X500 but am debating against the Roland FA-07. No music store (including Guitar Center) in my area (Denver) carries the MZ-X500 in stock. What is the closest related Casio keyboard that I could preview the sounds, rhythms and user interface (ease of use etc.). A list of options would be great.
