Hi Thank you for your honesty about PX-5S which should not be bought in order to do sequencing (Mike Martin has already said that it's not a workstation) but i am very embarrassed because i need : - a portable keyboard with 88 keys and good heavy touch - various sounds like hex layers, arpeggios and the possibility to create or download new sounds - a cost of 1000 euros maximum PX-5S has all qualities that i am searching for, except the sequencer which could be improved in a new firmware (not sure) but with a PC sequencer, it can work even if the PX-5S is not very easy to use for this purpose. Choice is very difficult because : - i could look at Korg Kross 88 which has a real sequencer but i think keyboard is much worse than the px-5s - i can also wait several months (but not several years) until Casio present a new workstation with same possbilities than the PX-5S (NAMM 2014 ?) but Casio doesn't say anything about new announces That is why I consider all opinions and why i am wondering about buying PX-5S or not ... Great thanks to all participants of this forum

Hi Just to be sure before buying a px-5s : when i read your post above, you say that i can play parts 1-16 via midi (so 16 tracks). I want to use a pc sequencer and i would like to have 16 tracks available (with bank change, etc) to play 15 different tones + 1 drum tone.. Can you confirm it is really possible on px-5s ? If Not i could use Song Sequencer but there ara only 8 tracks and Ralf said that hex Layers tones cannot be chosen in song sequencer and V1.11 firmware talks about recordind improvments but there are no list of these improvments. Thank's a lot for an answer because i would be very sad if i bought a px-5s that cannot record 16 tracks with a pc sequencer. Best regards
