I created an Audio Example of this drum set using the XW-G1 step sequencer. Click the download button above.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5 Drum Re-Samples common in most full size Casio keyboards from the late 80's. These are mapped to the original key locations.

Kick High - C1
Low Snare - F1
Gated Snare - G1
Closed Hi-Hat Low - C2
Low Cowbell - D4

This adds another variation to the existing square waves in the G1.

These stage settings use hex tones to group the various size orchestral string instruments onto a single key. The left zone will be set as a major chord and the right zone a minor chord.
The major chord hex tone files are included for use in other stage settings only. They are not needed for these stage settings.

A huge stack of saw waves with big reverb and delay.

These are some personal tones I have edited .  The 3 guitars are variations of effects and amp cabs.  The other tones are mostly done with some significant DSP EQ applied.  Some of these play louder than others so watch your hearing....

Recommended Settings for these Drum Phrases
8 Beat Dance - Use Synth Set 2 Tempo 130
Hip Hop Rock - Use Hip Hop Set Tempo 110

Here are two phrases made for drum patterns.
Recommended settings.
Jazz Swing - Tempo:145 Use Brush Set
5/4 Swing - Tempo:165 Use Brush Set

This loads as a user drum tone. It maps all 50 sample "splits" to the keys. They are organized from lowest to highest starting with user wave tone 200, split #1.

This is designed for the 1980's song 7 Wonders.

Initially, everything is turned on.
Slider 1 - Bass On/Off - Lower zone
Slider 2 - Portamento layer on/off - Upper Zone

This is an 8 bit triangle wave used in NES systems. It would be great for recreating some video game music or anything else for that matter. Enjoy!
Don't forget to rate and comment below.

This is a tweak and further development of a previous stage setting of mine. One designed for Whitesnake - Here I Go Again.
This one adds a new analog-ish synth layer along with other smaller tweaks. I was able to find the isolated vocal track version of the Whitesnake song. Through that, I was able to hear more individual parts of the overall synth layer they used in the recording. I then took those ideas to this stage setting.

2 sets of popular classic drum sound waves for the XW-G1. Kick, snare, closed hat, open hat, clap in each one

Upon initial load you may want to reduce slider3 volume for the strings and up slider 1 for piano. Somehow they got a little to loud in this upload.
Zone 1 - Acoustic Piano
Zone 2- Digital EP
Zone 3 - AiR 60's EP
Zone 4 - Synth Strings
Slider 1- Volume for Grand Piano
Slider 2- Volume for Digital EP
Slider 3- Volume for Synth Strings

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.

This is another variation of the typical synth pad sound.

This is by no means complete but I figured I would post it since I probably won't finish it any time soon. It's for playing the signature arp pattern and piano on the song of the same name.
2 arpeggiators are synced in this setup. The arp is in the upper octaves and piano is lower.
Pressing and holding F6 will start the first arp pattern and sync the second one to the first. While continuing to hold F6, play D7 and E7 and so on (you'll have to learn the pattern) to sound the second arp and complete the pattern. The second arp is synced to the first so that it can fire it's notes in the offbeat of the first arp. This somewhat simulates the marimba repeat feature on the original Lowery organ. Unfortunately, the original organ seems to have many alternating zones. The PX5 doesn't have enough arps and zones to fully emulate the original organ so I rearranged the first arp pattern to make up for some of it.
This stage setting would need to be accompanied by more stage settings containing other variations of the arp pattern. It get's a bit complicated so I have come to a standstill on this.

Here is all of the original user wave data factory installed on the XW-G1. This is here for anyone who lost the original data.

An electric piano/pad hex layer and acoustic piano sound with custom reverb, master EQ and compression.

Band Grand - EQ'ed piano with shortened release time for a clean sound. This works well when bass guitar players are in the mix.
Improv Demo....https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/band-grand-demo
Room Grand - EQ'ed piano with shortened release time. This one adds room ambience and brings some bass back in for playing piano solo.
Demo...https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/room-grand-demo
Room Grand 2 - Deeper room acoustics than version 1 and louder sustain. Notice the key off action noises at the end of the demo. This version uses the master compressor. To ensure you are getting that effect: (Before you load the stage setting) Press System setting>General>Stage setting filter>Master compressor>Check that is set to OFF.

This is my edited version of Jerry Kovarsky's Touch EP1JK and an added key noise zone for no good reason.

Audio demo of this is here: https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/updated-new-order-bizzare-love
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is a stage setting that can be used to play a portion of the song Bizzare Love Triangle by New Order. Load up all the files and hit any key in the low end to start the beat. You may want to set the arpeggiator to hold. The sound here was done with 2 phrases running under the arpeggiator. They are playing a custom drum set on Z1 and a custom hexlayer on Z2. Zone 3 is a bell type sound for playing a melody in the middle section if you wish. Zone 4 is the signature synth arpeggio for fill ins and is in the upper most range of the keyboard.
Slider 1 - Bass on/off
Slider 2 - synth arpeggio on/off
Slider 3 - mute guitar arpeggio on/off
NEWORDER is the stage setting
BIZARRED is the drum phrase - place it into slot 137
BIZZAREP is the hex layer phrase - place it into slot 138

I recorded an Audio sample of this stage setting. It's on the download page. Click the download button above. ^

I did it as a test of both my and the PX-5s drum set editing abilities. All drum sounds used in this beat are edited in some way to approximate the sound of the original beat.
Included Phrases for this SS
RT Pop Beat - User Slot 124
RT Bass - User slot 125
RT E Piano - User slot 126

After everything is loaded, press your D2 key to get the beat going.

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!  
 
Song Demo: Ray Price - City Lights
 
Note: I left some mistakes in my piano playing to prove I am human.  No, not really...   
 
 

Inspired by Oxygene the album. This is a knob and slider tweaking playground. Tweak away and have fun.

A stage setting I was working on. The sound is inspired by the opening of the 1987 song Carrie by Europe.
