Ok, I'll bite ... always loved spec'ing up. Besides, my first synth was a CZ-1 so, it's a long love affair with Casio. (Had the VZ-10M too) and last year bought my son a WK-7600, which has brought him back into music, so...many thanks. Here's what in my opinion Casio should have in a "PX5S-Pro": 76 waterfall keys (more wheight on them than in the WK-7600, as it feels underwhelming and 'cheap' to my taste) 1 pitch + 2 modulation wheels above the keyboard (Remember the VZ-1 keyboard? - yes, that) Channel Aftertouch 4 independent, syncable, step sequencers with 64 steps, with 10 modulation slots per sequencer line. Arpeggiator The AIR synth engine from the PX5S (hex layers) but with double the sample memory onboard. 9 sliders (as in the XW-P1, but with better quality hardware for better grip) and 9 endless rotary encoders, freely assignable. 4 zones Midi In / Out / Thru on dedicated DIN sockets USB Audio and Midi Bigger screen (mono) with soft buttons underneath (a la Kurzweil PC3), with enough resolution to display waveforms. 8 touch sensitive pads, freely assignable Improved organ/leslie simulation engine 2 main audio outs + 2 aux outs that can carry the "dry" signal, bypassing the FX (for ease of recording into a DAW) Sustain pedal input + Expression Pedal Input + Momentary Switch Input pedal (Why not combine all three in one piece that Casio may sell separatedly?) 16-Part multitimbral. Integrate one of the new Korg nano tube chips. (Hey, they're willing to sell them to other companies...) And more programs
