Don´t wait : Get an Behringer BCR2000 - and you´re able to control all your Nord parameters incl. SysEx .. Much more comfortable than via Casio! Boy ,

I´ve seen this wordpress blogs . I´m not interested in buying an iPad for using this editors . There are also a lot of helpful sites for all what you can buy or have bought in this world . But for what i should read this sites - i have other things to do than reading and reading ... Other Example: One P1 plus iPad are the same price as an Korg Krome or Kurzweil PC3LE7 . This products or editors needs no explanation . And there is no needing for reading a lot of sites or forums . I´m in the past a "Yama-highaner" . They have a perfect system of absolutely incompatibility with the own products . And have a price politics like no other : Great polyphony with very heavy editing possibilities BUT miniatured-displays . Or little polyphony with bigger displays . From Yamaha you can only choose the biggest and best . Common to all of them is : a lot of printed information . Biggest i know is Korg M3XP with more then 1000 pages . This is a little bit oversized ?

Yes , you are right , but i dont understand the placing on the market . This is the only chance for casio to reenter the synthie market with a very nice looking 88-keys . Today i thought the korg krome was the answer of korg to casio . 256-polyphony versus 800x480/7" incl. 3,8GB pianosounds . As you see on my first posts i have described not only what - i - want . I think casio have wasted a good chance because of concepting a performance keyboard . and because of the supreme 256-poly . I dont think that this mini-display does affect any user while playing . You have an pc-editor , so constructive editing is easily possible . XW : i nearly know (all) your videos and nearly all youtubes refer to This is why i ordered it . But on videos -and here- the same occurs : nobody can tell exactly how it functions . Simplest things are not clear . Okay is a beginner synth and thought for the youth . But this is not the essence . You made hours and hours of videos instead of printing a "new" manual - for "advanced" users . The same occurs on PX-5s . I cannot find a standard midi-implementation . Should i print and scroll through 83-pages ? only to know which things are sent/received ? This is abnormal , i think . You can make in 2-3 month the biggest synthesizer in world with very very low costs . But you must develope a new thinking - away from this marketing concept : yes we restrict the possibilieties of nearly all although it costs us nothing because of the price level we want to "reach" . You all are old enough to know the synthesizer-concept . I have an korg dss-1 from 1986 with three syntheseforms (add.+subtr.+drawwaveform) . I ask what has changed since the last 27 years! Read again my postings!

NO . I´ve ordered on weekend instead of it one P1 and one G1 . On saturday i´ve seen another video of XW-clinic-live (Mike Martin), so i dont waste time , there a asks a guy twice a time about "64-polyphony" . I wondered .. I jumped meanwhile to amazon.com for US-prices . There was a video which ends about: .. exactly NO editing possibillieties !! I wondered more and more.. I refer the twelfth time to both manuals and both editors and now i have seen it : Page G-18 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I immediately cancelled my order . I need tone generators , nothing more . But this is no tone generator , this is fraud .

If you want to play your guitar from DAW you assign there the midichannel on which the PX-guitar is ! If you want to play in your DAW a voice? you assign on PX the midichannel on which the DAW-voice is ! If you want to play your guitar quattrophonic you assign on 4 midi-channels . Note: Timbres "melody" is only little editing possible , hex is only Zone 1+2 . - - So , try to experiment with MIDI-IN before you edit any sounds ! REFER TO PX-5s-TUTORIAL and PX-5s-MIDI-IMPLEMENTATION FOR FURTHER INFORMATIONS !!! Otherwise your time is maybe wasted .

Scott , i´m definitely talking about external MIDI-devices like Sequencers/DAW , so the poor sequencing functionality of PX-5s is not needed . You´re (all) always talking about PLAYING files ? This is the same difference as your example PX-part IS NOT midi-channel . But this simplifiing assertion is not correct : because of a tone-generator is ALWAYS and ONLY controlled by midi-orders . Advanced features are mostly system-exclusive or N-RPN . Lets have a look on polyphony : one hex-layer use and needs 6 oscillators . Implemented effects are using additionally oscillators . How many voices needs a piano player if he is playing a little bit quicker than a beginner ? THINK One piano string sounds much more longer than the key-note is on ! Without reverb or/and delay . I´m not a pianoplayer , but i´ve seen (on video) piano players they play so fast , that you hardly can follow his fingers . How wonders that middlepriced stagepianos (kawai , etc.) are all at 192-polyphony . Ten fingers needs on hex-layers minimal 60-notes at one time . If you use chorus reverb and delay (so i think as in the most preprogrammed settings in PX-5s as in all keyboards) 192-polyphony is not so much that you can jubilee about this "incredible" sound-capacity . So how much is remaining for the channel/part 5-16 ? How much oscillators are needed for ONE voice . If you play on "melody-voices" three simple chords and some pumping rhythms or noteincreasing arpeggios - how much oscillators are leaving for the pianoplayers ? Simple mathematics : nothing . YES , some hexsynths sounds good , all shaped with 7-point-shapes , but whats with the other voices from part 5-16 ? The editing possibilieties are low down as an cheap casio or medeli keyboard . So the sound is coming down to earth . YES , its an amazing white-blue designsynth ... take pardon synthsound-playkeyboard , which may look nice on stage or at barbecue , but has nothing to to with a professional synthesizer . The cheapest synthie has 16 parts on 16 channels . Each part is fully editable like each other . Most manufacturer using two oscillators per part on 128-polyphony . This concept results in 64-polyphony without any effects . Nothing for pianoplayer who would hear ALL his played keys. So SCOTT , i will ask you : WHAT DO YOU THINK what is the concept of casio behind this "thing" ? This simplified 14-part-ROMpler and high-tech-synth . Who should buy this "thing" for what reason? For whom it was made ?

You cannot have all . I think PX-5s is nothing for people who wants a tone-generator for external MIDI-devices . There is no information available (like conventional MIDI-Implementation chart) which can explain the MIDI-possibilities of this tone-generator . They make hours and days of videos instead of an advanced manual . The same is with XW-series . A look on PX´s 83-pages (!) "midi-implemantation" shows : if you want to have a simple oversight about MIDI , you have no chance . You must print this 83 pages and then compare point to point to point to point - what is happening if i use external devices . It have 256-polyphony , which is the biggest generator on the market , but you can only play a little bit on the keyboard with little accompaniment . Thats all with this keyboard . It seems to like an typical Casio-keyboard , great but with strongly limited or restricted possibilities for making advanced music . Your choice : Korg Krome has only 128-polyphony but a 7"-display through which you can quickly access (i hope so) ALL the parameters are possible . For the same price . But you have only 61 keys . So you can choose between 88 keys or a professional easy-editing sound-machine . On the other hand Kurzweil (is from korea) have professional Fatar- (from italy!) keyboards , the best and easy editing possibilities (pc-editor) of all . Costs ? LE editions or SP-StagePianos at the same price (700-1200) but only are 64-polyphony . Conclusio : You can buy PX as a playable keyboard with litlle sound possibilities PLUS an access virus ti2 sound module for about the same price as a professional Kurzweil-music-station with 88adjustable keys . The PX-5s timbres are ONLY fully editable on hex-layers (max. 2) , don´t forget . The other 14 channels are very very simple construction . twice the time : this is no useable tone-generator for advanced musical purposes . So , we are fully free to choose some cheese from the cost-intensive cheese platter !

In Germany the Kurzweil costs less than 1200 AUD and the P(hantastic)X-5s more than 1500 AUD . This is because the Kurzweil have three soundengines instead of one . You know: You have VA and physical moddelling . Not only Therefore it weighs up to 14kg . ..and (dirty trick!) is not expandable with V.A.-S.T.machine KOREa64. So , The Kurzweil is unfortunately cheaper

I think "PRIVIA PX-5s" is the perfect name for this design . The name sounds very smooth . Reminds you on "privilege" . If this became a fully editable Synthesizer , also the biggest in world , in future , this is also the perfect name , i think . Because of this : It should be an privilege to own this beautiful white-blue designsynthies .

So i have to wait for the PX-6-XL - THE biggest Synthesizer in world

I want to have a S Y N T H E S I Z E R with 256-polyphony ! With the multipoint-shaping-possibilities of PX-Hexlayers and the other helpful stuff of XW . Fully editable with PC/Mac/Android . The PX nearly was concepted as the BIGGEST Synthesizer in World ! Thanks to Hirsoshi Iwase ? But at least became only a beautiful Masterkeyboard ... CASIO-CONCEPTS : ?? I cannot see a casio-concept behind this 3 items . I sit a week and compared the possibilities . The G1 is offered as "Groove-Keyboard" , but you can only see a nearly fully editable Synthesizer (on left side) with much more synth-waves then the others. The P1-"sound" is offered as an crazySynthesizer , but i cannot see were the synth is . If you compare the editors and want a synth , you buy XW-series with only 64-polyphony . So i see , in EU the prices are much more higher than in USA , you get one P1 plusG1 for one PX . So i bought now P1+G1 . Both on the way to me . I will get much more fun with this than with a Korg Krome - for the same price and same polyphony . On the other hand i see a lot of very-very old people using and explaining XW-series . Because of what ? This is the sound of the seventies (Schulze, Vangelis,Schoener, Tangerine Dream , aso) eighties and late nineties (raver) . But the XW-series are positioned for the youth . And the PX for the old piano players ! So they seems to be concepted as 3 stand-alone machines instead of fully interchangeability ? A heavy mistake ! For 999,- USD ? - i buy three PX immediately . And order 5-6 Behringer BCR2000 for an VERY-VERY BIG "analog"-synth . THIS is what i want .
