CP-80 Sample
By Mike Martin in MZ-X
Sample of a classic Yamaha CP-80 piano. The .ZTN version should load into either a MZ-X300 or MZ-X500. The .ZLT version is a HexLayer (single layer) but allows for slightly better expression due to the tools available.

Phaser EP MM
By Mike Martin in Privia PX-560
A new Rhodes EP for the PX-560. A nice bell tell in this one without it being overwhelming. New settings for the phaser which I think sound pretty sweet.

Steve Weingart Rhodes (560)
By Mike Martin in Privia PX-560
The Rhodes preset that Steve Weingart uses on his PX-5S now ported over to the PX-560. This contains 3 files.
SWeingartRdz1 - The pure Rhodes sound that Steve uses the majority of the time which uses the DSP as EQ to simulate the EQ on a pre-amp he uses on his real Rhodes.
SWeingartRdT - Same as above without the EQ, instead a Stereo Tremolo used for the DSP effect.
SweingartRdP - Same as above without the EQ, instead a classic phaser sound.

PianoScape
By Mike Martin in Acoustic Pianos and Piano Layers
I've probably spent more time on this Stage Setting than any other.
This is a 4 zone Stage Setting set up as follows:
Zone1: Strings
Zone2: Pad
Zone3: Synth Arp
Zone4: Piano
Sliders 1-4 correspond to volume of each of those. It starts with the volume of zones 1-3 set to 0. Slider 5 is a wonderful stereo panning delay for the piano part.
What makes this Stage Setting different is the way each of the parts are voiced. This Stage Setting is "radio ready" or performance ready in that it utilizes a narrow amplitude dynamic range while still remaining remarkably expressive.
Pedal 2 is an essential element of this Stage Setting as it is set up to toggle the filter. This allows this Stage Setting to breath. This is an especially unique and powerful aspect of the PX-5S.
Enjoy.

Symphony2
By Mike Martin in Privia PX-560
Another variation on a factory Hex Layer tone, Symphony2 takes advantage of the Stereo String samples found in the PX-560 (not in the PX-5S).
This is a Hex Layer tone so a Hex Layer category tone must be selected in Upper1 before going to the Media menu to load this file.

Dreamy Roadz
By Mike Martin in Privia PX-560
New for the PX-560 is this "Dreamy Roadz" Electric Piano. This is a Hex Layer tone so a Hex Layer category tone must be selected in Upper1 before going to the Media menu to load this file.
This is a tone with a narrow amplitude dynamic range that is still highly expressive and will fit great in a mix. Make yourself a custom registration with some extra reverb and perhaps layer the SilkSmooth2 tone also found here on the forum.

Wish You Were Here
By Mike Martin in Privia PX-560
As requested on the Facebook group here is a quick synth sound for the song Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
This is a Hex Layer tone.
2 layers are being used for the synth brass part. This is mapped on the keyboard up to E5.
A 3rd layer has the white noise (wind) sound which is also using the stereo delay insert effect. This is mapped to keys F5 and higher.
If I were to build a registration to perform this song, I'd set it up with a Piano in the LOWER1 location and this HexLayer tone in the Upper 1. Take a look at the attached photo which shows octave switches and split point recommendations.

WeiserSound Promo Pack
By Mike Martin in Miscellaneous
From David Weiser of WeiserSound.
Weisersound Casio PX-5S Promo Pack
I’ve created this set of five Stage Settings as a small token of my appreciation for both Casio and the Casio user community. I’m thrilled to be working as both a programmer and dealer with a company that gets it right in so many areas.
For this set I tried to strike a balance between practical sounds (like the guitars) and ones intended more for exploration/fun. For those who wish to do their own programming, these programs are set up to be reverse-engineered. They can serve as templates and starting points, with sliders and velocity layers already assigned and ready to tweak.
Here’s a quick description for each:.
Brimstone Calliope
Based on a few sounds I use on Broadway and touring shows like Les Mis and Mary Poppins, this one is meant to be large and menacing, full and loud. It’s a big pipe organ, with harpsi in the left hand for bite and celeste in the right hand (triggered on key-up) for some sparkle.
Phocoder
With multiple band-pass filters responding to envelopes and velocity, this one is meant to emulate the sound of a vocoder, a classic gadget that combines the sound of a synth with tone controls being driven by a vocal mic.
(Think Mr. Roboto by Styx or Daft Punk’s Get Lucky.) Works well in any songs where you’d normally play sampled horn or poly synth parts. Touch response drastically affects the sound, responds to the full range of soft and hard dynamics.
Semi-Hollow
The first of two “triple strike” guitar sounds, this one is based on a Gibson ES 335. The softest velocity strike triggers and un-pitched mute, medium velocity triggers a pitched mute, hard velocity triggers a full sustained note. The lowest notes on the keyboard trigger additional un-pitched mutes. The un-pitched components might take a bit of getting used to, but they are key to providing realism by introducing “happy accidents” and a random element. This helps offset the static quality inherent in guitar samples played from a keyboard.
The right most sliders control effects - chorus, delay, reverb. The chorus sends a chorus signal to delay and reverb (as a real guitar rig would, so you’re hearing chorus in the echo and reverb and not a dry signal) - these sends cannot be mapped to sliders. So when chorus is enabled you’re also going to get some delay and reverb. These can be disabled by hitting EDIT > Stage Setting > System Effects > Chorus > reverb and delay send levels.
TouchStrat
Another triple strike guitar, this one is based on the Fender Stratocaster. It’s twangy in the lower notes, with a more rounded tone above C5 better suited for soloing. All of the above notes on un-pitched and muted layers and chorus/effects behavior apply to this one as well.
Tricorder
A spacey sort of synth-string sound that triggers a major triad on key-down and a different inversion of the triad on key-up. Loosely inspired by the score from the animated sci-fi film Light Years (written by Isaac Asimov). Be sure to play with the first two sliders that affect filter frequency and resonance. One cool trick is play single notes with tri-tone intervals (for example: C4 - F#4 - C5 - F#5) across the keyboard.
I hope you enjoy the sounds! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need anything keyboard-related.
