Make a 76 (or 73) key version! That’ll bring the weight down even MORE! 👍 I’ve been asking for that since I bought mine the first week it was introduced!

Thanks again Brad! I hadn’t noticed that chart. Thanks for sending it!

Can they be used for: -Volume of INDIVIDUAL parts of a LAYER? -Volume of INDIVIDUAL parts of a SPLIT? -Tempo? Thanks!

Thanks Brad!

Thanks Brad! I was really hoping that wasn’t the case! Another disappointment...but I’ll hang in. Too many years and too many Casio keyboards to abandon ship at this point! 😀🎹 Now to search thru all my cables and hope to find the right one.

Trying to connect my PX-S3000 to Chordana (on iPad) via Bluetooth. Can’t figure out how to do it. Don’t know what I’m missing. I basically just want to edit settings. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for Velocity Sensitive Organs for my new PX-S3000. I had this same dilemma when I was preparing to buy the newly released Casio CTX-5000 about 6 months ago. I posted the question in the CTX-5000 section and got some great responses from the Casio community including helpful suggestions with various thoughts and ideas about the possibility of having VELOCITY SENSITIVE Organs, Pros AND Cons! The easiest way to bring that conversation forward and apply it to the PX-S3000 is to provide a Link to that thread. Here it is: https://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/15862-velocity-sensitive-organ-sounds/ Hoping to get some answers and suggestions about how this issue applies to the new PX-S3000. Please post any ideas to THIS (PX-S3000) thread! Thanks!!! Sonny

How can I layer Two Sounds on the LOWER part of a Split? In other words, I want 2 sounds on the lower part and 2 sounds on the upper part, where I can control the volume of EACH sound INDIVIDUALLY. I’ve been doing that for 6 years on my PX-5s. I’m really hoping it is possible on the PX-S3000! Thanks for any tips on a solution to this problem!

I'm only concerned with playing a board that sounds and FEELS like a piano.....not to play “a variety of tones”. But I DO understand the point you make.

I disagree. If it is for home or studio, that makes sense. But....for the gigging musician 88 means more WEIGHT to carry and more SPACE needed in a car to transport it. With 76 you’re not giving up too many keys compared to an 88 (they DO make plenty of 61 key models - why not 76 or 73?)!

I’ve never understood why Casio “refuses” to make 76 (or 73) key versions of their hammer action keyboards! As I’ve said for many, many years, “They’d sell “MILLIONS”!”. Maybe THIS will be the NAMM Show I’ve been waiting for? 🤞

Excellent point, T. I agree totally!

All good points, Jokeyman! Thanks! I don’t have the PX-560. I've had the PX-5s since it first came out. Love it. Always hoped they’d come out with a 76 key version. ☹️ Any chance your TOUCHORG.ZLT would work on the PX-5s?

Thanks for all that info Joe! I wasn’t aware of that at all. I guess there's not much a pianist and organist have in common. Who knew? 😜 But I have run into velocity organ tones on keyboards and to my “organ uneducated” ears and fingers they allow me to pretend I’m playing an organ.😁 And thanks Brad for the tip on the 073 RokOdOrg tone. At least it’s a little sensitive. I couldn’t find any others.

Thanks for all that info guys! I was about to ask why I wasn’t getting any results by cranking up the velocity sensitivity setting in one of the random organ sounds I tried. Now the question arises.....are there ANY organ tones that ARE preset to have touch sensitivity? Hoping so! I'm aware of the exression pedal input, but as I said, my volume chops are in my (pianist) fingers, not in my foot! And I’m too old to change that at this point! ☹️ I’m from the school of “feet are for sustaining, not for “expressing”!” 😁

I’m a PIANO player! My “volume chops” are in my FINGERS, not my FEET. Why should a piano player be discriminated against and not allowed to play an organ sound with volume nuances controlled by fingers rather than a volume pedal? I've run into this problem and discussion over the years with many, many Casio (and other) keyboards. I’m recalling that in some of those situations there WERE solutions that allowed some organ sounds to be edited to allow velocity sensitivity. Hoping we can figure out a way to do that with the CT-X5000. Attention REAL organ players: I KNOW that’s not the way real organs work! But...loosen up, be open-minded! I promise I won’t take away any gigs from you! 🤪

As far as I could tell, there's no VELOCITY SENSITIVE Organ sounds on the CT-X5000. Is it possible to edit any of the Organ sounds so they will be Velocity Sensitive? Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks Brad! I actually had joined that group two months ago....don’t know why I couldn’t find it.🤪

Hi Mike! Thanks for posting your 12 tones for the CT-X5000. You said: <<<<<“Here is a set of 12 tones I made for the CT-X3000 / CT-X5000. Many of these were seen in the Facebook LIVE video we did two weeks ago.”>>>>> I wasn’t aware of any LIVE Video event for the 3000/5000 that you did two weeks ago and I can’t find the video anywhere on any of the Casio boards. Hoping you can point me to it. Thanks again! Sonny

No upgrade YET for the PX-5s?? Dexibell here I come!

I’ll just make the same wish I’ve been making for 4 years now: A 76 (or 73) key version...perhaps with built-in rhythms. They'll sell “millions”!

Amen! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aron said: The real truth is this entire thread is as old as samplers. Think about it. Every note needs to be sampled and played back - in the PX-5S case they are obviously not since you can hear split points. OK, lets move on. Keys are played to record a piano note - now is there a robot playing the piano? I hope so because if you think about it, even a minute thing such as a key being pressed a little harder will cause the timbre to be brighter. For all we know, the note chosen for the sample note might actually be brighter on the real piano. If you sat down on the real piano, you might even notice that one note rings out more than another due to sympathetic vibrations or the resonance of the piano. The piano is imperfect, so the recording is imperfect. Add to the fact that you are not recording every note - so it's imperfect. Now, add the fact that for some people they don't like the sound of the hammers hitting the strings - it sounds "brassy" or "bell-like". To some people this is bothering them - but I would say the majority of people love the piano sound in the PX. You can't please everyone. The samples are fixed in the unit. Casio likes the way it sounds or else they wouldn't have burned the sound in and released the keyboard. Every piano has a different sound. When you didn't like the sound of your piano, what did you do before? There is only one real answer. Get a keyboard that sounds the way you want or get another that can load in multiple pianos until you find one that suits you. Or live with the one you have and deal with it. You/We purchased a killer keyboard at a breakthrough low price. The amazing thing about this keyboard are the concessions made to bring this incredible product out at this low price. Plastic, wall adapter, smaller sample ROM (to offset the high cost of memory), no sequencer, 4 parts instead of 16. Finally, it has one piano sample in there and it is not replaceable. Yes you can try and "alter" it, but you cannot replace the samples. You didn't pay for a keyboard that can replace the piano or other samples - you paid for the PX-5S. Many people find the piano in this keyboard pretty darn amazing - even if you ignore the price.

Ah....I figured it was something like that. But your detailed description makes me realize that it isn't as complicated a process as I thought! Thanks so much, Aron!

Thanks again Aron! Is there any way to get one preset out of an ALL file? Otherwise it would be a major hassle for me since all my slots are full. There must be an easier way to get a single preset and load it in. I can't think of an easier solution. Maybe someone can. Thanks for any help with this!
