Casio Privia Pro PX-5S Live Clinic 1 

This keyboard is amazing, the moment you feel the keys you can tell is a great instrument. A great amount of the sounds are incredibly good tones. It is well worth the money. Incredible keys action and features (256 polyphony is insane). Love the Warm pad preset, it is suitable for church/worship music. Great product.

Chans, the PX-5S is a four zone controller. So there aren't rules for splits and layers. We already have templates for basic splits built-in, but if you need to make your own it is very easy to turn on a zone and assign a split.

This is a great series of videos and absolutely fantastic customer service.

I Just got mine a few weeks ago and these videos have been very helpful.

The Stage Settings in Bank #6 are almost all splits. Try Stage Setting 6-0, press the Zone+ button and change the sound for the left hand (split)

The PX-5S does not have built-in rhythms. It has a phrase sequencer and you could import MIDI files to use as drum parts.

I don't even have one but enjoyed this video and will seriously consider this Casio,I had a yamaha that is now toast ..and really don't appreciate the fact that you can't get to "see the wizard" about your expensive piece of garbage ,I like the fast ...on the fly adjustments you can make here to what sound like pretty darn nice presets.I'd rather play and record than twirl knobs all night ,,,I think this Keyboard has plenty ,usable sounds ,and what appears to be a community where one might be able to grab USER sounds that might also rock.Cant get over the fact that its got heavy keys but only weighs 24lbs.Nice having genius like MM to show his in-depth knowledge of the board! this video rocks.

Victor, the PX-5S won't be available in the UK until late September or early October.

buying this after this year

Hey Mike Im getting Mine Today (((((( Im Exited ))))))) Do they already come with the new Firmware versions out of the box or do i have to download it. Thanks Again Kris

I own a PX-5S. My needs have changed and I now need to use this board as a tone generator using my laptop and software to play the MIDI file in a live performance environment. I have gotten this to work fine. My issue is can I control the volume of my real time playing and the MIDI accompaniment separately? It must be quick adjustments given the live performance environment.

which bag fits the px-5s? I'm trying to buy a privia bag for my board.

The action is identical.

Sorry! I did it! I just don't check controller edit carefully! Go to edit controller, select zone 4 and OFF all sliders but ON 4st slider for zone 4! Thank you!

Thanks 4 your fast response. Another question: Is the action heavier or lighter, comparing with PX-350? Thnx

Re: the Phrase Creation.... is there any way to make the PX-5s do one of those "press one key, get a chord, press another key, get a different chord?" That would be really useful for teaching purposes. It seems like it's possible.... can anyone verify? Thanks!

sir do you know if there is any arranger keyboards coming out that will surpass the casio wk 6500 and wk 7500

Hi Mike. Can you assign the expression / volume pedal to only control one layer (f.ex the string in lay with piano. (Piano stays stabile) and strings can be in / decreased in volume?

I really need fast split because i play one song with only piano and with split piano and bass ,when drummer start to play after piano intro for example...If there is no "split" button ,for quick split two instruments ,can i switch fast from pure piano sound to bass/piano split sound ?

Hello~I‘ve got this keyboard~It's amazing! Just one question ,can I use pedal to change program? Maybe 001piano to 002 piano?

Thanks,that has helped.

how do you split (since there's no split button) and what are good amps you'd suggest to use with this keyboard?

audio input - can the input source be processed like the XW-P1?

great. Could you do please something like this with the wk 7500 - ctk 6500. Thanks

How can I set up my keyboard to modulate to a different key???

this was awesome thanks, can you use midi snippets as phrases?

Does the Casio Px 5s have more/less/same number of tones as the Casio XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer?

Hello! I have a problem with my Privia 5S! I can set Volume only for first 3 zones, but I CAN'T set volume for 4 zone! When I set 4st slider volume or express, it controls all zones, but I want to control only zone 4. Please try it, and you'll see that I'm right! Can you help me?

Hi. Does this Privia have Ivory and ebony textured keys, like the PX-350?

Can somebody show the rest of us how to program a realistic 2-speed 2 rotor Leslie effect with programmable accelerate and decelerate times?

Why usually and not exclusively on the patches?

Why Casio abandoned the privia px 350? Why only px-5s?

Do you know when this will become available in Mexico?

bonjour, comment avoir ce tuto en FRANCAIS? moyennant finance?

When can I buy the px5 here in the UK?

The organization isn't quite the same. Technically the XW's have more presets but the PX-5S has more user areas. There isn't anything similar in the sounds of the XW and PX-5S though. Completely different technology.

I'm having trouble getting a sustain pedal that works for this keyboard. Don't want to give it up but I think the port for the sustain pedal is broken

Thanks most interesting. What amp(s) would you recommend for the PX 5S

How can I overdub a phrase with a new and different tone while keeping the first tone playing?

Yes, the same.

Is there a gig bag that fits this keyboard?

I will ask the same question here. I hope you guys actually help me. Hi, I have Casio Privia Px 5s with me and I use it as a MIDI Controller. It has lots and lots of knobs but somehow in my Logic Pro X , only the pitch bend works and the modulation is most probably is at S1 and Mod Wheel lowers the volume or probably cutoff , that's it, nothing else, whereas otherwise in the real world, every knob works. People on Casio forums have not been totally helpful. Could you help me with this problem?

I tried saving a WAV file after changing to fat 32 It didn't work ! ! ? What am I doing wrong? HELP

ooops just saw the convertor sorry...great!

How to use the metronome? I am unable to use it.

Hugh, Join us over at CasioMusicForums (dot com) and we'll get you up and running.

Casio makes a "Privia Gig Bag"

XW-P1 could really use that rompler engine and new effects! Or, PX-5S could use XW's sequencer and synthesizer. OR!!! We really could use a Casio flag ship workstation combining: -XW's step sequencer, organ modelling and synth engine (perhaps polyphonic this time) -PX's new rompler engine and effects -Those Hex layers -Sampler -MZ-2000's screen and after touch -Interactive phase distortion(ok, starting to get carried away)

How can I split the s5 csio

ps after having 20 keyboards This is the best.
