Hi @Brad Saucier, As it covers various Casio models, you may want to move this to any generic category that already exist. Thank you again. Reg

Dear Casio users, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have added new custom voices for CTS-1000V. Including all the Lyric Tone list. Please enjoy it! Here is the demo link: https://midistage.com/?configUrl=demo/casio-cts1000v.json @d. gauss

Hi @vbdx66, I cannot test it as do not have any Chromebook. However, in theory, it should work in Chromium browser. Please let me know how you go with it. Reg

Hi @d. gauss I have increased the button size for iPad. Hi @vbdx66 I have added CT-X800. Regards, Reg

Hi @kybdsammer, I have added the Casio PX-S3000 custom voices - here is the custom link: https://midistage.com/?customVoices=Casio PX-S3000 Additionally, I have added a new Song mode. It is a MIDI player that can trigger custom voices. Note that the speaker icon is only for previewing purposes. Let me know if this feature is useful. This is an amazing testimony of using MidiStage in a real live worship application. ❤️ 👌 It's made my day!

Hi @kybdsammer, CT-S1 custom voices are on the list. Just added Fine tuning, octave and transpose in global & per channel last night. Share me your experience with MidiStage... 10/2/21 Kybdsammer notes: Name comments based on information from CT-S1 User Guide Names with underscore in front mean they are keyboard front panel selectable sounds *3 and *4 at end of name means DSP Tone and Advanced layer Tone respectively

You are very welcome. It really made my day...! 😅 Would you please share your MidiStage preset file? I can add it to the CT-X5000 demo file for others.

Hi @Casio Key, Custom voices for CT-X5000 is loaded in MidiStage. Please use this unique link: https://midistage.com/?configUrl=demo/casio-ctx5000.json Thank you @Chandler Holloway for helping out with the CSV. Let me know how you go.

Hi @Casio Key, for most common CC# like volume, expression, hold pedal, and pitchbend, it should be compatible. As bank select is hardware specific, I will need to add a custom voices data of your Casio CT-X5000. I will need an extra hand to populate the voices list from the manual. I have created a specific Google sheet template for you: Casio CT-X5000 - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1knk1gYMBeY4HVofcpnBScqBq0WugtOEIxJfVU_lj4ks/edit?usp=sharing Once it is ready, I will add it to MidiStage. Regards, Reg

Hi @Jokeyman123, I gathered few custom voices for your PX-350 - Please try it out and let me know your feedback: https://midistage.com/?configUrl=demo/casio-px350.json It takes time to manually enter the data from the manual. Here is the Google sheet for PX-350 I created for you, you may modify it when you are free. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10R0qUeXadU1pD9z8Kbh7EIKqSCwtPXrOwbN8WK7T04k/edit?usp=sharing No, It is using a javascript. No. I won't. Web version is working for me.

Dear Casio owners, Hope you are well. I have developed a WebMIDI master keyboard editor that can enable any home keyboard that have MIDI port, to stack more voices than the factory default. I called it MidiStage. In this occassion, I created a custom voices dropdown for Casio PX-S1000. It should be able to change sound bank. As I only have an old PX-100, I need some volunteers of PX-S1000 owners to test MidiStage. Just simply connect your PX-S1000 to a computer/mobile devices (via USB cable) and open any webMIDI compatible browser e.g. Chrome/Opera/Edge, go to a PX-S1000 unique link below: https://midistage.com/?configUrl=demo/casio-pxs1000.json I attached a recording sample 'px100-test.mp3' and few screenshots for you. I am really keen hearing your experience or any feedback. Many thanks, Reg p.s I have stacked 5 voices of my 18 years old Casio PX-100. It sounded very dynamic as it generates voices based on my key range and velocity configuration. It was very enjoyable to play without pressing any voice buttons. px100-test.mp3

Dear Casio community, I would like to share my Casio experience in Australia. I have a 15 years old PX-100 and I need a new PCB and hammer felts 🔨. It have the well-known clicky-clanky action due to tappered felts and sometime it has a long delay (>5s) start-up (perhaps due to a failing electronic component e.g. chopper regulator). Shriro Australia Pty. Ltd. is the official Casio support representative in Australia. They did not respond to my email regarding spare parts enquiry for my PX-100 for weeks. Maybe they are just that slow 🐌, , lack of staff, unable to locate the service manual PDF or simply L.A.Z.Y. For curiousity, I decided to give them a call. I was so surprised that they said only selling power adapters, power cables 🔌 and music rests as per their website: https://casioservice.shriro.com.au/collections/electronic-musical-instrument-spares - They also refused to recommend/sell any alternative parts. Instead, they referred me to an authorised repair shop located almost 60kms distance from Sydney CBD. This particular shop were not interested in selling parts and agitated to help. Basically, he stated a clear message that I am on my own. I was giving up dealing with Casio and their repair shops. I was thinking might be better to go to Bunnings (a hardware store) to get some felt tapes for DIY solution. Regarding the failing PCB, I will enjoy the Privia until it will not turn on or maybe getting a second hand parts from eBay. And about the clicky-clanky action, I was reading an article of someone used a Yamaha Clavinova felts and I did it. Contacted Yamaha, ordered the parts and arrived in my door step within a week. After a felt replacement, the action is as quiet as the Clavinovas 🎹 . If you have second thought about this and your Privia is out of warranty, don't hesistate to do it. As much as I love Casio's price & quality ratio and this great community forum, sadly this PX-100 will be my last Casio experience. I am withdrawing my intention to buy an award winning PX-5S pro keyboard for my home studio and/or live rig. Music lovers usually will keep their beloved digital pianos for a minimum of 5 years and we will do our best to perform any simple repair, like myself. Ask yourself what would you do if your Privia or Grand Hybrid need a maintenance repair after 5 years and your local Casio responded 'We no longer have parts'? Yamaha and Roland stocked older parts and selling parts to myself. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Casio digital pianos to a friend or relative, until I can buy genuine spare parts directly from Casio and being helpful assisting older model owners. Please share your Casio support experience in your country. I would love to hear it. Happy weekend and keep playing with anything.

You can get a food grade PTFE ointment to grease up the key action. https://www.inoxmx.com/products/mx6-food-grade-grease/

Hi Ivan, I have added it to the poll. Thank you for this great suggestion. I hope Casio is generous enough with all these new features and keep the similar price tag.

Hi Tom Williams, I have added aftertouch in the poll. Thank you for your suggestion.
