Dave Weiser Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just finished my first sound design contract gig for Casio - 15 new vintage keys presets for the PX-5s. I had a blast - it's quite powerful and flexible. I especially liked working with the amp models. The set includes classic Rhodes, Wurlies, CP80, Pianet and Clavs, most taken from iconic recordings. The sounds will be available for free download probably tomorrow or Weds over at Casio's website.

Joe Muscara Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 There are no Pianet samples on the PX-5S, yet Dave made some Pianet sounds. (I think that's true of the CP80 as well?)

Kawai James Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Wow, very impressive work - great job! The flexibility of this board is truly astounding - using parameters to change the stock sounds into completely new patches. Also +100 on the Pianet - for a chopped-up Wurlie, it sounds pretty good!

B. J. Love Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Great stuff. Especially love the RayWurly - just the Wurly sound I've been trying for.

miden Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The set is now posted here for download: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/file/193-vintage-keys-set/ Mike, is there any chance of getting better Guitar/Bass/Drums patches for the PX? I have only held off buying one because of the bass/drums and guitar patches being, well, quite poor on the PX-5 (JMO!!). I am totally convinced by the keys patches, but I do need the other ones as well. Or is it not possible with the PX5 sound samples architecture Dennis There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

Mike Martin Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The ability to alter and program drum sounds in the PX-5S is pretty extreme. We've done a kit or two that is available on the forum. Guitars haven't been a focus so far in new preset libraries but I'm sure we'll get to them. The stock bass sounds are pretty great IMO, new uprights and electric basses that were developed specifically for the PX-5S. -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.

miden Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Sorry Mike, but I have heard them (basses) and to be blunt (sorry) they are quite ordinary. As too the guitars, and the drum samples are not all that good either. As I stressed before, it is just my take on them I know it is primarily a keys driven axe, but for what I do (solo) I need more than just keys. And I abhor multi keyboard rigs, looks so naff these days. Sort of like guys and v8 cars really - hey look at MY big rig!! Anyway I digress.... Seriously though, everything else and I MEAN everything else is the "ducks nuts" even the feel of the keybed. Not to worry. Thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate it.

Jazzmammal Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Kurzweil lost a good one in you, Dave. I see certain similarities in your your approach to some Kurz patches and these new Casio ones. These new ones sound really nice. Bob Hammond SK1, Mojo 61, Kurzweil PC3, Korg Pa3x, Roland FA06, Band in a Box, Real Band, Studio One, too much stuff...

AnotherScott Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Is there any link to a walk-through of exactly how to load these sounds into the PX-5S? Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Scott, it's just like loading any other sounds. I prefer to use the computer editor, that makes it dead simple. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The easiest way is using the editor's Transfer tool to drag and drop them where you want. Otherwise you need to put them in on a USB drive. If the drive hasn't been formatted by the PX-5S you need to manually add a folder called "MUSICDAT". The files go there. Then press and hold the MEDIA button. Select load, select Stage Settings. You can scroll through the list of files on the USB drive and choose the location you want to load them into from here. -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.
