Thanks troyehalll. Sounds like the midisolutions + any expression / volume pedal option is a good one.

Yeh agreed the px5s is not the best organ board but while I'm working remotely just looking for a once size fits all. My main keys are all abroad....although the px5s may become permanent for piano patches if the reviews are anything to go by!

I'll do that. Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds promising. Just need to find out if these midi pedals will work. Be great if someone had experience with any of them other than the behringer.

I mean just the volume. I can usually make do.with a push button for rotary speed. But a volume pedal connected to pre amp for example can be great to generate gain/ distortion as volume rises with the pedal

Great! So versatile. I play mostly blues/jazz old school si usually just swells and volume dynamics for me but will be fun to lay with. I assume the amp section is assignable? I.e. I can assign the midi expression pedal to.the drive rotary speaker?

Does anyone know if the midi volume control is a master volume control or can it be routed to the pre-amp stage etc? I don't have a px5s yet...still working out if it'll work for me.

Since it hasn't been mentioned in this thread, I'll add this.  The PX-5S can perform swells and other constantly variable pedal type functions with a standard switch type pedal.  The difference is the swell is programmed ahead of time by configuring pedal settings.  Many users have "expressed" that they prefer this method over a standard expression pedal since it's consistent each time.  If you prefer more freedom to control the range and timing of a swell with your foot rather than programming those things ahead of time, a MIDI based pedal will be the way to go.  

Thanks Brad! I have looked into this. Sounds great for swells. I'd still like to control volume throughout a song aswell so midi might be tho go

Thanks! Hopefully! Anyone have experience with this or any other compact midi pedals on the px5s? The behringer option is overkill for me.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Does anyone know if this would work for midi volume control on the px5s. Looking at a px5s for gigging and need organ swells etc. Rather not use an inline pedal.

One other question after watching I watched the webinar by Mike. Awesome stuff by the way! Really impressed by this board!

In the case of the Clavinet patch with wah and diet etc he made; having the amp models / distortion etc mapped to the nobs is really cool except you lose accessible EQ controls and obviously there are no sliders. Is it possible to have perhaps an iPad connected with some kind of app with EQ controls for on the fly? Very handy for live use! If it does I'm ordering one right now!!!

I'm aware that the PX-5s has more controller functions but I am really attracted to the px-560 with internal speakers, songwriting tools and touchscreen.

Once again, sorry if they're obvious questions - I'm a reformed technophobe trying to wrap my head around the px-560 possibilities!

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum but have recently been enjoying the discussions that come up! I've become interested in the PX-560 recently and it's really grabbed my attention! Up until now, I've mostly worked in an old stool kinda way, tracking things live audio only through cubase etc with a number of synths, my korg SV1, guitars etc.I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to midi / sequencing / production and such things (more of a live / session background). I'm in the process of downsizing my keyboard gear to 1 keyboard for composing etc and adopting more of this midi production stuff! Hoping to create full demos on the px560 (piano, bass, drums, string etc) and add the rest (guitars, vocals) with DAW.

Sorry in advance for dumb questions - here we go!

1) Does the px560 allow you to create your own user rhythms from scratch which can then be looped, mapped to different drum kits etc?

2) when you create a midi song with up to 17 tracks, can they 17 midi tracks be individually exported as separate tracks to a DAW later for further editing / mixing etc and perhaps exported back again to the px560?

3) Can the midi sequencer trigger external sound module sounds, at same time as it's own internal sounds?

4) Is there any way to allow monophonic mode particularly for lead sounds?

5) When using with an iPad via Midi, is it possible to transmit the px560 sounds to an iPad DAW (cubase) or can only midi sounds within the iPad be triggered?  

Thanks in advance!
