Just assign the tones you want at the right keys in a USER DRUM, and then put it in Zone 1. Then assign the piano in Zone 2.

One of them is a French harpsichord whilst the other is a Flemish one. Both of them are using the Early Relfection DSP in order to enhance the stereo. 

6 sliders control:

1. the volume of the first 8' string,
2. the volume of the second 8' string,
3. the volume of the 4' string,
4. the volume of the pluck-off sound,
5. the volume of the body resonance on a high velocity,
6. the volume of the string-off sound, 

respectively.

The GM Piano 3 tone is in the E.Piano category, not the Piano category, on the panel of PX-5s. 

I've recorded this video in order to test the sound of the PX-5s. In this video, I use my own stage setting specially designed for my speakers (not monitors). The bass has been reduced and the treble has been enhanced. I also use the Piano DSP. It will feel like a real world-class grand piano if you don't see the pictures.  (The video is NOT clipped.)

Call me dense but what exactly is an AC7 file format and what is it good for? What makes it any better, if at all, than a MIDI?

Is it proprietary and limited to a single brand of instrument? Does it contain more info than a MIDI or MIDI type 2 file?

I only ask this because MIDI type 1 has proven to be an incredibly resilient and long lived file format which has outlived many supposedly "better" upstarts.

AC7 is a format of Casio RHYTHMS which is newer than CKF. It can be made up with 8 tracks instead of 5 of CKF. It's not a song file but might be able to be converted from MIDI.

And do the CKF rhythms have separate major and minor intros/endings?

The AC7 format is really good for complex rhythms with 8 tracks and many kinds of parameters, but how to convert a certain MIDI file to an AC7 rhythm? I have made a lot of MIDI files to create CKFs and AC7s, but I haven't got a CTK-6xxx or a CTK-7xxx, so I can only make CKF rhythms with just 5 tracks. If Casio publishes an AC7 converter, it will be good for many Casio users.

Are you using the included SP-3 or a pedal designed for YAMAHA? Their pedals have opposite polarities.
