Mike Martin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 cool a little Jeff Lorber to start my day! Tune 88, is you Mike? Nice Job. off topic: There is very cool site out there that has a version of the tune and a midi file. Though not on a px5s. link removed due to security.... ps - hope shipping date is not slipping.... No that's not me. Although I spent a lot of time on his website taking some video lessons. That guy is a heck of a player. The first 12 bars of his MIDI file is what we used to create the speaker demo. Ship date has not changed. I believe the second week of April. -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

Joe Muscara Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 One some of the EP patches, the speaker sims are assigned to one of the sliders. So you can easily change speaker sims on the fly. Other sliders control distortion levels, some control chorus, reverb. It's all pretty slick and really cool to have realtime control of effects parameters.

graz fish Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 To Mike Martin (or anyone else) I'm not expert in digital keyboard but i'm going to come back and play with friends after some 15 years. The PX-5S is my choice and i'll take it as soon as possible. I have a question, but the answer you will made does not make a difference in my decision to buy the PX-5S, it's only curiosity Can I play an arpeggio or sequencer song on my (hope soon) PX-5S and send a click to my drummer's headphones?

t9cstudio Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Mike is on vacation, I think, well deserved too! The tutorial manual p.E30 shows a table of all the sequence mixer parameters. Pan L or R is available. So, if you had a midi file with 2 tracks, and 1 of them is the click track, you could pan it to the opposite side of the music track. What would be better IMO, is to send the click track channel out via MIDI to another MIDI module that the drummer has his headphones connected to. Kurzweil PC4, NS3-88, Kronos 2-61, QSC K8.2's.

RBBoT Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I was just reading this thread on the Pianoteq forums that mentions that the Previa 350 sends high definition MIDI. Is this feature also available on the PX-5S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaka40 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I was just reading this thread on the Pianoteq forums that mentions that the Previa 350 sends high definition MIDI. Is this feature also available on the PX-5S? From a few pages earlier in this thread... Hello, best regards, Mike Martin a question please: I think that the velocity of the keyboard works in high resolution midi like the PX-350. Do the knobs works at resolutions higher than 7 bits too? (e.g. 14bits?) Thank you. Welcome to the forum! The knobs and sliders send standard MIDI values 0-127. Internally the resolution of the controllers are interpolated to their response is smooth when you're an adjustment to something like filter. Each Slider and Knob can also have minimum / maximum values you can you specify any range that you want it to function. Maybe just between 80-110 or 0-10, or make it work backwards by setting the minimum value to a high number and the maximum to a low number. We'll try to get the www.ustream.tv/casiomusicgear channel running again today from 12-6pm central time. --Sean H.

RBBoT Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks Mike. One further question about the USB connectivity. Can it send the audio to a computer over USB instead of using the analogue outputs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 No, it does not send audio over the USB computer connection. It can record audio to a USB drive directly on the PX-5S itself. -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

RBBoT Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I take it that was a typo and you mean't "doesn't". I was hoping to use USB audio via the PC as a means to connect it to my high-end PC speakers. I don't have any spare analogue inputs on the amp, and was hoping to be able to go digital to the PC rather than having to bring the analogue output of PX-5S to the PC soundcard's line-in. I do have some free digital inputs on the amp - is there an S/PDIF output on the PX-5S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 is there an S/PDIF output on the PX-5S? Nope. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Ekewaka Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Best is to get a good audio interface for PC (and Mac) interaction, Apogees, MOTU, Focusrite et rest. I also hoped for an audio USB connection but I assume it was a cost issue to add this into the unit. Maybe in future. Hoping more keyboards add this in as even cheap guitar pedals such as Zoom ones has audio USB out, not that they skimp and use 16-bit outputs.

Mike Martin Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I didn't want to post this yesterday because of April fools. There is already a firmware update planned for the PX-5S which should be out around the time units hit the stores here in the US. Highlights include: - Polyphonic Portamento - Added a second break point for filter and amp key scaling - Momentary/Toggle option for pedals - Additional waveforms added for use in HexLayer patches (6 varieties of Sawtooth, more than 10 varieties of pulse...etc) - Improved EQ - .Wav file playback adjustable volume. - Zone and Layer on/off switch from pedal/knob/slider - Real-time filter response smoother ...and more. I'll have more info in the next week or so. This will be a downloadable update that is performed by putting a file on a USB thumb drive and updating directly from the PX-5S front panel. -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

PianoManChuck Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I like it! What I liked about the Nord keyboards was the fact that you could adjust everything on the fly with knobs, sliders and buttons (no menuing system which is pretty much impossible when playing live). But now, PX-5S seems to offer that same functionality (and more) at a fraction of the price!

But now, PX-5S seems to offer that same functionality (and more) at a fraction of the price! The great thing about products like Nord and Korg's SV-1 is that there are controllers that are fixed for particular things. The PX-5S is different and it is also a bit a of a chameleon with the variety of sounds it can produce. The knobs/sliders can do anything you want them to do. For the factory Stage Settings we came up with a methodology that we repeated throughout similar categories of sounds. It does make it a little challenging the first time you play the PX-5S but you'll get it quickly (I hope). -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

Joe Muscara Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The factory stage settings have a nice consistency. Most of the time, I know what slider is reverb, chorus, etc. For fun, I set up a stage setting to control my Electro rack, where the six sliders are the first six drawbars on the Electro, then I mapped the last three to the three right hand knobs. Also, because this forum has made me a crazy person, I mapped the mod wheel to fast/brake instead of the usual fast/slow. I would have put that on the pedal, but that's not in this version of the firmware. This is a fun board, and I've barely scratched the surface of it. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
