Brad Saucier Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Edit 4.17.2015: All tutorial videos can now be found at (Edit Nov 2021: Site linked to was deleted) I thought this "topic" would be a good place for sharing PX-5s tutorials. I'll start with this introduction. (Edit 2021: Video has been deleted) Nice video Mike. Is that entirely PX-5s sounds in the teaser intro? (0:00 - 0:30) Who composed that? Oh! and where can I find the official "Casio" branded flash drive seen at 0:34 ? Or do I have to paint up my own? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 No, I didn't compose the music for the into. The intro music 0:00 through 0:30 was originally done for a PX-5S teaser video that was launched before January NAMM. The team in Tokyo contracted someone to do that. The PX-5S was in its very early beta stages at that point but the piano sound is from the PX-5S. Multiple tracks from XW synths were used along with some drum loop libraries.

Brad Saucier Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Also, I like your studio setup behind you at :07. Thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That's at home studio. Most of the videos are shot at the Casio office but I was home for a couple days last month and had time to get this video started so that is where many of the clips were shot. As for the flash drives, we had some made up for marketing purposes and trade shows. We don't enough to sell them....yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 OK. I pulled the trigger on ordering the PX-5s. Now I wait. Maybe I'll paint up a blue thumb drive to read "CASIO" while I wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theadman95 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hey, Mike, I know you're really a busy guy (in a great way!), but are you guys considering an actual tutorial (DVD or otherwise) to show how to use and modify Stage setups, edit, work with tones, knobs and sliders, etc, etc, etc? It's a pretty complicated instrument, and it's making more sense to me, but a step-by step tutorial on many of these issues would be great. Thanks!

Mike Martin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 We have more videos coming. We'll also be doing some LIVE online clinics using Ustream.tv When we do a clinic info will be posted here and when the video clinic is done, we'll just list it on YouTube.

Brad Saucier Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 A full month later. I'm still waiting for my PX-5S. Just thought I'd update this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Wow - what are they telling you about the status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 The dealer's shipment from Casio is expected on June 19th and then it will ship out to me the day they get it. But, the date has been pushed back twice already so I have little confidence in any date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Since Jim is not yet on the Casio forums to share this, I will. The very first youtube PX-5S unboxing video. I enjoyed this. Now I know what kind of box to look for at my front door (as if I wouldn't be able to spot something that size). I'm wondering if a glow of angelic light will occur when I open mine?

bcjordan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Glad you're finally getting it. I ordered from Sweetwater because they are my go to store but when they got a shipment in, they didn't have enough to fill my order. Musicians Friend had them so I ordered from there. I'll get my case from Sweetwater, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Name Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Musicians Friend was where I got my MZ-2000 back in the day. They were good about exchanging the defective one out for the one I have now. Side note: I've got to recruit some MZ-2000 owners to this forum. I feel so alone. That MZ-2000 looks like a cool workstation! Glad I'm not the only one with synths that have 3.5" drives. Reminds me I need to order some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Collingsworth Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hey, I ordered mine through Guitar Center and it took a week for me to get it, via UPS, but it was well worth the wait! What an instrument! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebonivor Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Mike, I'm trying to decide on speakers to use at home with my PX-5S. Could I ask what model the studio monitors are that I can see in your home studio - and do run the PX through them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
