Thanks everybody.  I'm more used to the Korg/Kurzweil method of GUI.  So far really liking the PX though.  Just trying to find some workarounds for performance features and issues I've become accustomed to.  Thank you all again.

I thought the PX-5S had the feature of changing sounds without cutoff of sounds while using the sustain pedal.  I'm finding that only works if I change tones.  Since the PX is always in Stage Setting, there is always a cutoff of sound when changing to a different Stage Setting.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  I swear I heard or read somewhere this was a feature of the PX-5S.  Thanks.

Just picked up the PX-5S last week.  Just a few questions I can't seem to find on this forum.  Is there a compare button anywhere?  When I modify a stage setting I'd like to hear what the original sounded like before I write anything into memory.

Also, a few times when messing with the sliders I will lose volume (I know some sliders are set to modify the volume) but when I change to a different stage setting I seem to have lost the volume on whatever different stage setting I hit.  The only thing I noticed is there is some sort of asterix next to the numbers on the screen.  I'm having a bit of a time getting my head around the GUI on this board.  The first Casio i have owned.  Really like the action.  Thanks.

Thank you, Mike, for you answer to my question.  Just a couple more, please.  Can I trigger a sound wav using the usb thumb drive? I know you can play back songs, but I just need to trigger a couple sound wavs.  I think the organ sounds might be okay, but does the percussion work the same way a real Hammond works where if I'm sustaining a chord with my left hand, the right hand playing a melody will not retrigger the percussion until I let go of all keys?  And just one more--getting back to my original question, is there a way in stage/performance/combi mode to use a button to turn on one tone while simultainously turning off another ,yet still sustaining first tone until I lift off the sustain pedal?  I'm real close to picking up a Px-5S, just looking for any workarounds I might need to do in live performance using your keyboard.  Thanks again.

Considering purchasing the Px-5S, but what I would have a hard time without a feature that Kurzweil has where with the push of a button I can turn off and on sounds while holding the sustain pedal.  For instance, I have a piano sound playing, I push a button to turn on strings.  I can sustain the piano/string sound and push a button to turn off the strings sound and the string sound will remain on until I lift off the sustain pedal.  Does the Px-5s have this feature or would I have to use the volume sliders everytime I need to turn off and on a particular combination of sounds?  I hope I'm making myself clear.  Thanks.
