+1! and some actions sound better than others. My PC3K8 sounds incredible when using the Casio PX-5S as a controller, arguably one of the best pianos I've ever played. Did not get the same result using the SV1(which I sold today).

Yes. I think it's healthy this kind of dialog happens as we consumers should be critical about products that are offered or the other way around. There's no need to try to hush down either side. Most readers are intelligent to filter our the noise, anyway, so there's no need to baby sit in this forum. Honest opinion of a product is always welcome and your opinion of this product is already well documented. It crossed the line of healthy dialogue quite a few pages back and into the category of extremely obnoxious!!

This is getting old dude, we got the message.

I know that walk. Played the Quarter for a few years including 2 at the Cajun Cabin. The worst part was making that walk carrying gear at 3 am. I was lucky I was never robbed, but my car was broken into a few times. Had to leave that life behind me as I knew my days were numbered.

"Does anyone know how well the XW-P1 works as a midi controller for VB3? My WK-7500 can only control VB3 with keys and the footpedal as it only has USB out (unless I'm doing something wrong). Can the XW-P1 drawbars sliders be assigned to the VB3 drawbars and percussion and CV controls be assigned to any buttons? IIRC the XW-P1 does not have an expression pedal input? [Re: Bossbandbob] Mike Martin Offline Platinum Member Works great. Just put it in organ mode and the sliders transmit standard CC's. even the knobs can be assigned, front panel switches for percussion and rotary and more." It is a better controller for half the price!!

I'm commenting on your suggestion using the VR-09 as a controller, in which case the sound of the organ doesn't matter. The XW-P1 is a better controller for half the price. The internal sounds are only for emergencies.

Then why not just get a XW-P1? It's cheaper, keybed is just as good(or bad), a better controller, and has built in sounds in case the rig goes down.

Unfortunately neither is the perfect answer. For EP's the SV1. For AP's, weight, and a great keybed the PX-5S. Just want to revise this since some new PX-5S Stage Settings have been released. The Rhodes in the PX-5S are pretty stellar and worth serious consideration.

Did you happen to try the EP's with the weighted 88 controller?Were they any better?

It's a $999 keyboard, I see it as almost "disposable" at this price point.. The idea that I can get a good quality drawbar organ, a virtual analog synth and some pretty good set of samples that covers everything from a reasonably good acoustic piano/EP/Clavs to strings and almost everything you might need to cover gig in a 12 pound package for $999, makes this a no brainer.. Even if it's just for rehearsals, or back up in case I have a problem with my Kronos or Mojo. I wouldn't argue with that for a minute. My agenda just happens to be different. I'm doing much more solo piano and much fewer band gigs than I used to, with no prospect of that changing anytime soon. (I'd be happy not to do any band gigs at all, but I keep getting calls.) So my next move will probably be to get rid of the Kronos and the SK1 and instead go with something like the VR-09. But since it's going to be my primary gigging keyboard, it's got to check a few essential boxes. As for the action, I think it's pretty bad for piano, but much more in the useable realm for organ and synth. If you're mainly playing solo piano why would you consider the VR-09 instead of something like a PX-5S?

Interesting. I am not a big fan of the Kronos acoustic pianos, but I did like them better than the previous generation Casio (i.e. PX3/PX330). Out of the box one could easily argue that the Kronos pianos would be better. But I've been able to tweak the PX-5S so that I can get a piano almost identical to Galaxy Vintage D, something I can't even come close to with the Kronos.

I'm considering the VR-09 to go with PX-5S for a lightweight rig. I've had the PX-5S little over week now. I'm enjoying it as much or more than I did my SV1. The acoustic pianos are MUCH better as is the action. I actually like the pianos better than my Kronos as they are much more acoustic as not as digital as the Korg. There are new EP's coming out for in a couple of weeks that I've been privileged to hear some of them and they are VERY good. The 24 lbs that it weighs is a major bonus because I would seriously buying this board if it weighed the same as a SV1 on the action and AP's alone.

I thought the XW-P1 keybed was much better than the Krome 61. As far as feeling cheap, I thought the build quality was actually pretty good considering price, weight and materials. Casio had a chance to hit it out of the park with the XW-P1. They could have charged a little more with better pianos and organ and have a much more appealing product.
