American Bluegrass
By Brad Saucier in Miscellaneous
Audio Demo of this is here: https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/american-bluegrass
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
American Bluegrass is a stage setting for playing a Bluegrass music rhythm. It contains a custom hexlayer tone on zone 2. Zone 2 covers Acoustic Bass, Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin. I created a phrase that plays all of the instruments in zone 2's hexlayer. Download the Phrase "Flat&Scruggs" and place it in user slot 141. Start the rhythm by pressing the A2 key. There is a range around A2 that will transpose the key of the recorded phrase. The range is small since the sound becomes unnatural outside of that range. Keep in mind that the PX-5S is not an Auto Accompaniment Keyboard. Auto-Accomp uses chord shifting and detection techniques that the PX-5S was never intended to need or use.
Download Scruggs2 Phrase in place of the Flatt&Scruggs Phrase to eliminate the major 3rd notes.
Sliders 1-4 turn on/off the different instruments in the rhythm.
Slider 6 adjust the overall volume of the rhythm.
Slider 5 turns on/off zone 1 for no good reason.

Old Upright
By Brad Saucier in Acoustic Pianos and Piano Layers
A significantly different type of piano sound for the PX-5S. The end result reminded me of my old Brambach upright. I like this piano played through speakers rather than headphones. Enjoy!

Brad's Country Shuffle (CT-X5000/3000)
By Brad Saucier in Rhythms
I've created a totally new country shuffle rhythm on the Casio CT-X5000. This should also work well in a CT-X3000. This is a very simple rhythm with no frills, as any good keyboard country rhythm should be. It's extremely versatile, sounds authentic and can be used for tons of country rhythm tunes. The intro is a simple drum stick count-in. In the demo linked below, I'm using a custom piano tone (Piano2- included) to play the intro, lead, and ending over the backing rhythm elements. The rhythm does not play these piano parts for you. What is included in the rhythm is the drum track, a rhythm guitar and a rhythm piano. There are 2 fill-in elements, an intro and ending. Variations 1/2 are repeated as variations 3/4 respectively, but are remixed with piano rhythm taking a slightly more prominent position in the mix. 1/2 have rhythm guitar slightly more prominent than piano in the mix. Don't forget to comment, like and share any recordings you make with this rhythm. I hope you enjoy it!

SyFi Strings (CT-X3000/5000)
By Brad Saucier in Tones
No sooner I upload the 11 tone pack, I created a tone I like so much I had to upload it. This started out as basic strings, but adding a DSP chain to it and tweaking the effects a bit made a really interesting tone. It's some EQ plus phaser, delay and a pitch shifter. Quick demo here....

Ukulele Strumming (MZ-X500)
By Brad Saucier in MZ-X300 / MZ-X500
Here is a demo of the sound you are downloading.... https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/ukulele-strumming-demo-casio-px-5s
UKULE2.ZLT is a hex layer tone.
UKULELST.ZAR is an arpeggio pattern.
Load these two files into your MZ-X500. Select the new Ukulele tone as Upper 1 tone. Enable the arpeggiator and select the new Ukulele arpeggio pattern. The hex layer tone will have the muted strum sound in the lower octave, while the rest of the keyboard will be for open strumming. To play the pattern, use a rhythmic back and forth between your sustain pedal and the muted strum in the left hand while holding chords with your right hand for the arpeggiator to use. Release the sustain pedal and play the muted sound almost simultaneously. To play the strum manually as in the second part of my demo, disable the arpeggiator and practice playing chords in a sweeping motion as if you are strumming with a flat pick on guitar strings.

Concert Grand Piano with Release Key Noise
By Brad Saucier in Acoustic Pianos and Piano Layers
This Version of the Piano has Key Noises added. Release and Attack sounds are on a hex layer in Zone 2.
Slider 2 adjust the level of attack key noise which adds more low end to the attack that is contained in the original piano sample. The added noise is more apparent in the upper octaves.
Slider 3 adjust the level of release key noise. Adjust to taste.
The default levels were set using headphones. You'll need to adjust the levels depending on your listening environment and style of playing. Start by quickly adjusting the slider levels to the extremes while playing a few notes to get an idea of the sound your adding to the mix. Turn off Zone 1 to hear the key noise alone.
This Piano still includes Early Reflection DSP and the adjustable wet level for it is on Slider 5. Adjust to taste. The stock PX5 piano is dry. If you like a wetter sound then you should try this.
BTW. With Sliders 2, 3 and 5 all the way down this Piano becomes similar to the stock piano. You can get a lot of variation in the piano sound by just playing with all of the sliders and knobs on this stage setting.

Muted Strum Acoustic Guitar (PX-5s)
By Brad Saucier in Guitars and Basses
Demo...https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/muted-strum-guitar-demo-px-5s-stage-setting
This is similar to my Ukulele stage setting except this one is an acoustic guitar. I created a muted picked string sound that makes this possible.
The arpeggiator will be on for zone 1 and assigned to play a phrase. This plays the muted strum for you. You will need to load the included phrase separately for that. I highly recommend using it.
To play the pattern use a rhythmic back and forth between your sustain pedal and the muted strum in the left hand. Release the sustain pedal and play the muted sound almost simultaneously.
Zone 1 = Muted Acoustic Guitar in the lower octaves (strum emulation created by the arpeggiator running the STRUM phrase)
Zone 2 = Open Guitar in the upper octaves
Slider 1 = Expression level of the muted strum zone 1
Slider 2 = Expression level of the open guitar zone 2
Slider 6 = Reverb level
Knobs = Master EQ
Download the STRUM phrase separately and place in user slot 150.

PA Concert Grand
By Brad Saucier in Acoustic Pianos and Piano Layers
Yet another EQ'ed concert grand. This is a bright sound with good bass (smiley face EQ curve). This one offers help for those who may use problematic PA speakers and amps that make the piano sound muddy or dark. If you are a heavy handed player, adjust system settings>general>touch to heavy. Use LIGHT if are are a light player.

Concert Grand 2 and Finger Bass 5 (MZX series studio tones)
By Brad Saucier in MZ-X300 / MZ-X500
These are two variations of factory tones designed to fit more easily into a mix. The volume differences between quiet and loud are not as wide, allowing easier blending when a more consistent volume level is desired.
Concert Grand 2 brings a new EQ setting to the piano, plus a reduced dynamic range
Finger Bass 5 brings reduced dynamic range and faster decay time

Gold On The Ceiling - Black Keys (Organ Hex Tone)
By Brad Saucier in Song Ready Stage Settings
This is my take on the distorted organ/synthy sound heard in the song Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys.
Try all versions. Let me know what you think in the comments. Version 2 is my pick for the song.
I added portamento for version 3 since the sound is kinda synthy and reminds me of the XW solo synth.

Sweet Dreams Stage Setting (PX-5s)
By Brad Saucier in Song Ready Stage Settings
If you use this stage setting, please let me know if you like it and how you used it. I learn music by ear. This stage setting started as I was learning how to play the song. I carefully listened to left and right channels of the original recording, trying to hear how it was played. Once I learned it well enough to play it myself, I recorded it into the sequencer on the MZ-2000, then converted that recording into phrases for the PX-5S. The rest of the work involved editing PX-5S tones until they sounded like the sounds heard in the original record.
I have recorded an Audio Demo of this. Click the download button to see it in the list of available downloads.
or click here for soundcloud...https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/eurythmics-sweet-dreams-ver-2
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is a stage setting and sounds for playing the song Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics.
Sweet Dreams is the Stage Setting. Sweet Arp is the phrase that plays the synth sounds. Place this phrase in slot 120 Sweet Beat is the phrase for the drum pattern. Place this phrase in slot 121. Once loaded, make sure the Arpeggiator lamp is lit, then hit any key in the low end to start the pattern playing. The Synth Lead sound is in the upper range for playing the solo.
