Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Digital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths & Keyboards Thank you Mike Martin for the PX5S

It's ugly. Period.

And it's absolute great in terms of features and control.

If it has professional aspirations as a killer board , why not give it a professional look instead of a toy exterior. It will help generating even more sales and acceptation among demanding customers.

I'm not attached to pianos at all ... I own far more synth's including nearly all the brands you have listed the most beautiful keyboard I own is my Yamaha DX1. As a Synth ..the PX-5S is ugly... as a stage piano its horrendous. My main point is who on earth approves these things ? Do they not question the styling ?

This is my point exactly ...there was no need to give it the silly colour scheme. It just makes it look cheap and not a professional instrument. Yamaha's PSR's and Tyros's are amazingly boards with great features yet no professional would be caught dead on stage playing one for years because of they way they look. Last year Yamaha brings out a black pro looking Tyros and presto ...a few have appeared on stages now.

Really?? That makes professionals look petty, superficially minded and monstrously conservative if this is the real reason they would not use those keyboards.

Maybe but it's a fact ... Image is important often more important then the music ... It's how you get Keisha

I actually like the looks of the PX5S. Black on Black is too damn hard to see. Of course appearance is subjective but the PX5S also looks to be quite functional as well.

I think the point is made about the looks of the new PX5S - now let them (Casio) chew on it. Perhaps Mike can bring over the remarks without being fired ;-) And congratulate them simultaneously on bringing out such a great piece of equipment ! It seems to be really good, it's just....you know...

I think the black bit on the end looks sort of alluring, like a woman wearing one of those black and white gowns:



Greg.

Yes, fair enough - it's true. But what do you mean by Keisha? Wiki lists these possibilities:


Keisha Buchanan, a singer-songwriter
Keisha Castle-Hughes, a film actress
Keisha Jackson, an R&B singer
Heather Keisha Hunter, major porn star, minor rap artist
Keisha Kane, a porn star
Keisha White, an R&B singer
Keisha-Dean Soffe, a weightlifter
Keisha (Raquel Rene Rios), a porn star

Try ke$ha .....you should know her considering she's got a Juno 60

Sugababes? Keisha Buchanan born in 1984...same year as the Juno 60, afaicr.

My Juno 60 was sold years ago - went towards the ESQ1, probably.

Nah if you don't know the Kesha I'm talking bout don't worry ... Your lucky

Hear, hear. And let this be the last we speak of her...

Well, thank you for the advice, and I'll look no further....but yes - I haven't got a clue who you're talking about.

Each category of tones has a user area for custom versions. So any variations you make can be saved and also saved to a USB drive.

What is particularly unique about the PX-5S is that Stage Settings will contain all of the necessary components. In other words, if I build a Stage Setting that has 4 zones and I adjust all 4 of the sounds that are being used, create a custom arpeggio and more...all of that is stored within the Stage Setting. This makes it very easy to share complex configurations.

I'm rather intrigued with the concept of the black and white look of the PX-5s, but I really wish that Casio had done it with the swank of a tuxedo. Black with white trim, or white with black trim would have looked a lot better than this.

Well at least there will be no mistaking who's playing a Casio from now on. And I'm sure we'll all get used to it. It's gonna be in a lot of rigs, so I guess we'd better

It's Ke$ha, without an "i" ...

1) Does the PX-5S have the short initial decay problem that another member said the PX-150/350 has?

2) I am mainly interested in the grand piano sound, does the PX-5S come with a improved grand piano sound than the PX-150/350? Or the same thing?

3) What pedal does the PX-5S some with?

The PX-5S has the same AP sample as the the rest of the new line of Casios. I think you have more control to edit and shape the sounds on it. And it seems that new sounds can be loaded into it. As far as the pedal,it probably comes with the standard SP-3. As far as the sustain of the sample, it is improved over the last generation and all older Casios. However, it clearly doesn't please everybody.
