So I seem to be having a problem with saving the settings on the PX-850. I click the second to last key on the keyboard along with the function button and it  makes a beep which is supposed to be for backup. Problem is....

 I don't know which is the on and which is the off....and it never seems to save all the settings I have on.. i.e. ( hammer, lid...etc)

Any help would be appreciated on how to properly save the settings... lol

There's my new PX-850. I named her "Leslie" ...

Looks great in my music room.

Just want to thank everyone who helped. I ended up getting a Casio Privia PX-850. It looks beautiful, feels beautiful ( them keys!!), and sounds close to a real grand piano.

Needless to say I'm very happy.

Here's "Moonlight"... will get "Pathetique" up later today...

Thanks!! Sounds fantastic man, look forward to Pathetique, it's one of my favorite pieces of all time.

No worries .. BTW I see you got a nice welcome at Piano World. Good people over there too. Gets a little strange sometimes, but it's a great resource. 

Haha yeah, it's a cool forum. Thanks for the suggestion. Look forward to hearing those files!!

Yup.. will post them up sometime tonight. 

thanks i really appreciate it!

Just give a list of a few pieces you would like....I have some very dynamic MIDI files played by concert pianists that sound AMAZING on my PX-5S. I have just about every sonata so if you name few you would like I can make some recordings for you.   

 

do you have Pathetique or Moonlight Sonata? Either or both of those would be great!

I dunno if you've seen this review already or not, and while it's more Scott Joplin/Boogie Woogie and Ray Charles than Bach/Beethoven/Chopin still it's a very thorough review with good sound quality.  It may help you in your decision.

 

 

EDIT:::

 

AHA!  I may have found exactly what you're looking for.

 

Thanks! The second one is a bit more helpful.

I am kind of surprised as well. We are working hard to get the word out about the forums so hopefully we will see more and more users. I know after Mike posted a link on the Casio Music Gear FB page we had A LOT of new users sign up - so we are making headway.   

I have a 5S and I'm  pretty sure the samples and AiR stuff is the same as on the 850 - just the processing is different. I will ask Mike.... if there's a way to make the 5S identiical to the 850 I will be happy to make you some examples. 

That would be great! I'd love to hear samples of that regardless, know any Beethoven? Not Fur elise though...something a bit more moody, maybe more dynamic too.

It's not even that It has to be the 850, I just can't seem to find these groups of keyboards playing the big compositions I loved to listen to growing up. So, if you can somehow help in that regard with your keyboard that'd be awesome.

Hello... if no one posts  here, you may want to post up a request over on the PianoWorld.com Digital Piano forums.. I know there is at least on PX-850 owner there.  

yeah it's kinda weird how few responses i've gotten. I'd think there'd be more 850 owners on a casio forum. haha

Thanks for the advice, i'll give it a try. Mike Martin may help me when he has time but I'll give it a shot anyways.

That's funny, because I feel the opposite way. I mainly play jazz, blues, and rock, yet most demos I hear are classical!

 

Do none of the sounds on this page help you?

Yeah the first demo for the AP-620 helps a bit, thanks for the help. If anyone could still record me something on the Px-850 that would still be appreciated but thanks for the help Joe!

Posted this in the other forum but realized it'd be better here

 

Hey, I'm looking to buy a digital piano sometime soon. Thing is, whenever I look up these sorta keyboards online I can never find them playing the type of compositions i'd like to hear out of them. Beethoven, Chopin...etc 

It's usually jazz type music, and that's not my sorta style. So I was wondering if anyone could potentially record a Beethoven piece ( one of his darker ones) on the 850 to get an idea of the type of sound it can produce.

Thanks for the help. ( also any opinions on the keyboard, i always like hearing thoughts)
