I've been using the Nord Gig Bag (GB88) for years! Its been on stairs, concrete, dirt, mud, stones, venues from hell, and just about every type of terrain you can think of. Still holding strong. The Priva fits right in!! This case offers excellent protection, and it also has a handle on the back - halfway between the top & bottom of the case - which is important because you can wheel the case like a dollie or hand cart. Much better than using just the top handle (which makes you tote a lot more weight as opposed to operating it like a hand cart). Its not cheap at $299, but its come down in price (it was $499 just a couple of years ago). Check it out here.

Actually, 30 years ago you had the Yamaha DX7, Roland D-50 and the Korg M1 to name a few. They all had LCD's. Korg M1 even had a sequencer! Korg was using touchscreens more than 20 years ago (ie: Korg Trinity). So if you think about it, nothing is really new today.... just newer, better, faster, more polyphony, color, etc.

If you've ever used a PX-5S, and then tried the PX-560, you'd understand that there's really no need for a data editor on the PX-560. With its color graphic display touchscreen (where you can see an actual envelope graph as you edit it) among other things, there's no need for an editor. On the PX-5S however, that's a different story (small, b&w non-touch screen heavily menu-driven).

For fun & grins, could you go to the system section, turn OFF the built-in speakers and re-measure to see if that changed anything?

Thanks for the update, Mike. I was wondering if there might be a forthcoming hex tone that emulates the synth that Keith Emerson used in "Lucky Man". With the recent passing of Keith, I (and I'm sure others) are looking for some ELP tones. Not just "Lucky Man" but "From The Beginning", "Jerusalem" and others!!!

It looks like Casio just created a User Download (ie: community created) section for the PX-560! So anyone who has anything (ie: hex-layer files) they want to share with the Casio PX-560 user community, you can now upload to that section!

How about opening up a PX-560 download section for USERS to upload their unique PX-560 hex layers to? So far there's only a PX-560 download section for Casio-generated files (sadly with only 1 file in it).

Thank you, Trent! As far as populating that PX-560 download area ourselves.... we'll need some help from one of the administrators to create a "user-generated download section" for the PX-560. So far there's only an "Official Casio Download" section for the PX-560 (with 1 file in it).

That's true Brad, but a couple of weeks ago in the PX-560 live webinar Mike Martin stated the PX-560 download section would start being populated very soon.

I think he means the downloads for new sounds created for the PX-560 which is here: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/category/40-privia-px-560/ Unfortunately, there's currently only 1 file there. I've also been waiting for this section to be populated.

Great making them!

Thank you - very much appreciated!

This is an intro video to the Sequencer / MultiTrack Recorder for the CGP-700 and PX-360 (and PX-560). It also touches on some other cool stuff like Data Entry using a QWERTY keyboard on the screen, as well as a brief intro to the Mixer section. https://youtu.be/o2jV_9IUMl8 Enjoy!

So our band wrote, performed and recorded a high-energy, Non-political song based on a great campaign slogan. This does NOT mean we endorse or promote any particular campaign candidate - just some great music along with an awesome video to accompany it. The Casio Privia PX-350 was used as a keyboard controller in the making of this recording. Enjoy the video! Make America Great Again

The CGP-700 and PX-360 are nearly identical except for a few differences. I have a PlayList on the videos that I've done which cover the CGP-700 (and by association, the PX-360) over here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4lH80nobNBIuMfFR8r8wPgmKtoE-t59E One of the videos in the playlist covers the differences between the two... but all videos in the playlist are informative. The playlist is always being added to, so check back from time to time.

I did an intro to the touch screen on the CGP-700, which is the same touch screen / functionality as the PX-360 and PX-560: https://youtu.be/VHOnKoCo3oQ

I'm still working on the lighting situation and until some of that equipment arrives, I've thrown together a quickie intro video that basically highlights some of the main features of this board. Hope it answers some questions you may have: https://youtu.be/XRRPckoIPWA

I have the CGP-700 and I can tell you its awesome! I've even taken it to a gig with my band already. I'm in the process of putting together an intro video about it (with more to follow). Unfortunately, I moved my office/studio to a new location and the lighting at the new studio isn't the greatest for video. Once I get the lighting situation resolved, I'll start posting videos (which should be real soon). Lighting is so important when it comes to putting out a quality video.

Wouldl love to get my hands on one of the new PX-360 or PX-560 units! To steal and reword a line from Korg, "this changes everything!".

Unfortunately, going back to 1.10 did NOT undo that problem. I apparently had a version of 1.10 on my computer that I restored from that was a newer revision of whatever was in my board. So now I'm stuck - I mean it works, but I would much rather be able to go back to the way things were before I ever decided to upgrade

Ok - now I see.... underneath the stage setting name (on the LOAD menu) that's where you put what bank you want it. Never had to do that before... it always defaulted to whatever bank I was in (so much easier).

I was using firmware v1.10 for the longest time and finally decided to update to v1.13. Since updating... whatever stage setting I'm in (ie: 90), I go to load a new stage setting from the USB thumb drive into that bank. It used to always go into whatever bank I was in when I loaded the new stage setting. Now, no matter what, it *always* loads (and overwrites) in 00 no matter what! I can't have that, so I went back to v1.10 and guess what? Its still having this problem! Everything was fine prior to the initial update, but now it seems permanently broken no matter what firmware version I use. Any advice?

Toshiba androids and a Privia at CES 2015.

Joe Sample passed away on Friday due to complications of lung cancer. I believe he also had a couple of Privia's (PX-350 for sure, and possibly the PX-5s).

Thanks again for your excellent contributions to this thread! I am looking to build a battery housing (C batteries, D if necessary). Anything other than that would result in it just being easier to bring the PX-5S and the Roland KC-110.
