Casio happens to have a few desktop midi synths and sound modules. I've listed a few of them in the solution, but I was wondering if there are more I don't know about. Feel free to share what you know about them! I've been looking for a VZ-10M btw, if you happen to find one up for sale, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!

Hello! At first, I would like to thank all the members and everyone involved for this amazing place! It's a great source of information and one of the most friendly and nice places to be. I have joined the board and I hope to become the owner of Casio PX-5S soon! It sounds like a true dream come true to me, especially the fact that it can run on batteries. Living in a country and a place where electricity problems and sudden power jumps can leave you in musical silence, it is a true saving grace! It looks like the instrument will instantly switch to battery power if the normal power suddenly goes out. Hopefully, I understood it right! I have a question regarding the use of the external sound modules and the USB recording ability of PX-5s. As far as I could tell from the manual and the different forums, PX-5S can recording raw WAVE data from what comes out from the instrument's out. Am I right? I have an old sound module called Roland JV1010 which has MIDI IN, OUT and THROUGH. Would it be possible to record the sounds from this external module to the USB stick through PX-5s? If so, how do I connect it or will the usual MIDI do in this situation? Or do I have to connect the sound output of JV1010 to the input of PX-5s? In order not to break anything, I just wanted to make sure if it is possible at all. Ideally, I would like to mix the sounds from Casio's internal collection with JV1010 and record it to USB. Another question that comes up in my head is: would it be possible to use the arpeggiator in PX-5s along with the external sound modules or it's only applicable to the built-in sounds in Casio? Any thoughts and inputs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! -- Iceman
