I'm fairly certain you can not edit the rhythms on the CGP-700, however you may be able to find some preset rhythms in 3/4.

Great thread and conversation. Just wanted to point out that the MZ-X500 does indeed have a solo synth mode, as well as a new monophonic bass synth engine. You can really get those "juicy" TB sounds when you play with the cutoff/res.

Great idea and thanks for sharing -- will definitely be able to add this to the troubleshooting list for helping future issues. So happy you got it sorted for the cost of a couple toothpicks and Q-tips.

NOOO! If you feed him, he'll NEVER leave!

Hey there. Can you post a recording of that? Play scales and then hit the note a bunch of times at different velocities - just record it on the flash drive and upload it to SoundCloud or Dropbox and post the link. .

Hey there and welcome to the Casio Forums. Sorry about your Privia. Sounds like a short in or a blown fuse somewhere in the amp/speaker system. If you purchased this new, you should still have another year on the warranty.

You can adjust the tone a great deal, but at the end of the day these are samples from two different pianos: Yamaha of course uses their pianos and Casio uses world renowned European concert grands. But to your question, you want to brighten up the piano with EQ and cut some of the "thumpy" bass. In a mix it will sit really nice. Exposed, use some reverb and a little extra sustain. Just my 2 cens.

Hey there. Your best bet is to get a small audio mixer and a dynamic mic with cable. This can be done as low as $60-$70, but with mics you get what you pay for. I like the Shure line of classic mics (SM58, etc). Keep at it! Knowing how to connect, record and amplify all of this is an important skill and has landed me gigs over more skilled players.

Have you installed the ASIO4ALL driver?

My guess is it's some kind of USB conflict. My older computer wouldn't recognize my PX-5S until I did a factory restore on the computer... them it was fine. After further research I found it was indeed a USB issue and nothing to do with my Casio.

Hey there and welcome to the Casio Forums. Your issue is probably just a glitch. Let us know if it re-surfaces. RE: The USB drive port: No it won't interfere with MIDI at all.

Hey there. Well the last idea you had (connecting 2 cables) will do nothing -- the LK doesn't get power from the USB -- it only is for MIDI. My *guess* is this a a driver / OS clashing issue. I am a little concerned when you say you downloadied "tons" of different drivers... there is only one official one at: http://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=75 Something to try: Create a new user profile in Windowns, and running in Windows Vista® (32-bit)/®7(32-bit)/®8(32-bit)/®8.1(32-bit). Worth a shot! :-)

I don't think you can record on the MIDI recorder using an external keyboard, but you can record on the MZ-X and then have it PLAY BACK a track to an external keyboard. As for your other question, "punch in" recording is certainly a function of the MZ-X --- consult the manuals for specific instructions on the process.

MZ-X500 has a TON of awesome synth sounds, including a new bass synth engine. Combine with the hex layers.. yeah it can sound like a warm analog or a crisp clear digital.

Hi Frank and welcome to the forums. You can't create rhythms from scratch, but you can edit the presets and save them as a user rhythm.

I'd go for the PX-150.

Hey there and welcome to the Casio forums. Have you tried running the program in compatibility mode for an older OS? See -----> http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/set-compatibility-mode-windows-10

The material used on the screen is plexiglass, which is very strong but can scratch if not cared for correctly. Being this isn't a touch-screen, you shouldn't have to wipe it at all.. just a blast with some compressed air. I am struggling to figure out how you scratched the screen on the second one within in a week despite all the TLC. Something must have come into contact with it. Do you have a nosy cat? My suggestion: Get one of those cell phone screen protectors from the dollar store.

Thanks for the head's up Alen. I haven't experienced this but I will send a note up the line. Thanks again.

XW Synths are certainly something special and probably the most misunderstood synths on the market. The analog-style step-sequencer alone is worth the price of admission. Add to the HUGE selection of drum sounds.. I think they have every classic and modern drum machine sampled in there. I love my G1 -- it never fails to inspire! Will probably pick up a XW-P1 before too long so I can have both these little monsters. :-)

The speaker system on the PX-850 is pretty robust and fills the room quite nicely. If you are used to that sound and then go to headphones, you lose a lot of the "feel" of the bass sound. I'm with Joe in checking your headphones and making sure they up to the task. What brand / model headphones are you using?

Unfortunately the sheet music stand mount on the PX-5S is hidden under that fancy blue strip. They make music stands that attach to keyboard stands.. have you looked ta those?

Phrases and arps are so much fun. The PX-5S has these as well and really can get the creative juices going!

Hey there and welcome to the Casio forums. If you bought it brand new from a local store and it was only a few days, you should have brought is back to the store and exchange it for a brand new instrument. I have my own horror story about being sent a "brand new" keyboard from a retailer (not a Casio). You can see the pristine condition of the package when it arrived. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Hey there. I'm a little confused trying to reconcile the title with the actual post, so I'll answer both: 1= The P1 does not have audio over USB. USB is MIDI ONLY 2- Assuming your USB cable is good, all you need to do is plug it in to your computer and configure the MIDI settings in logic to read read the P1.
