dc2k Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The Casio PX-S3000 This is the first I have heard about this new model. All I had seen on Casio's youtube channel was the announcement of the Privia PX-S1000 which is a basic digital piano with a handful of tones and effects with inbuilt speakers, three pedals, clever companion apps and caters to people who want a quality, inexpensive simple piano in their home. It's $599 retail in the US. I hope they sell a ton but I'm coming from a PX-5S and am interested in something a bit more. So I was watching Sonic State's video on the Casio booth at NAMM. After demonstrating the PX-S1000, the Sonic State guy asks what's the model on the other table. Turns out it's a PX-S3000 and has 700 tones , 200 rhythms, an LED display that looks like the one on the PX-5S, pitch time and real-time controls (looks like just two knobs) and it retails for $799 in the US. Don't think it has the same sound-sculpting abilities as the PX-5S but the demo was so short, maybe it does? Maybe a PX-5000 is in the pipeline?

sslyutov Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I do not see anywhere keywords Air, Privia. There is no manual so far. Oh no found it is Privia and Air. It is nice, now you can hear a keyboard noise in your headphones as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justincomito31 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The PX-S3000 is a completely different instrument seemingly meeting different needs than those of a PX-5S user. I play on a PX-5S and tried the PX-S3000 and the 3000 is definitely not "more" than the PX-5S in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It depends on what your focus is. The PX-S3000 is not marketed as a Privia Pro model. But it is definitely "more" than other Privia models, placing it between those and the Privia Pro models such as the PX-5S, which still is the best controller Casio has released in the Privia line. Where did you try the PX-S3000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
