I am glad to see anyone adding to the 560 experience. This video is a wonderful little window into opening or closing the lid on Grd Piano tone.. who would of known. Liked your adding the reverb.. Then I saved the new tone... Easy.. Just tap the back arrow a couple times til you see the edit and write area. tap write, choose a location since I haven't done this before I was right the in user 1 rewrite the name new name of GRPOpenLDREV, then tap EXECUTE at the bottom of the little screen . Done!!! Now I have a grander grand piano. It sounds so much larger, but it sits nicely in my studio in the same little space!!! thx
I think professional musicians prefer the px-5s but those are musicians that seriously have played electronic keyboards their whole life. The px-560 is a hell of a lot easier to use to set up sounds. The next advancement from the px-560 should have rocked the music world and changed things forever. Who would have thought that CASIO would have come up with the most amazing professional keyboards?
I haven't seen the px-560 in music stores. I think if they were in music stores they would have sold like hot cakes. Would have totally pissed off the big manufacturers. (of course the music stores wouldn't do that) I suspect that is one reason there has not been another Casio in the line of the px-5s and the px-560 for years now. I've never heard anyone in the know comment about the abrupt stopping of that line of keyboards about 5 years ago.
This DRIVES me crazy. It seems like software programmers make the decisions on terminology. For example, "REGISTRATIONS." WTF? One of the biggest changes Casio could make, if they were going to make an upgraded model of the px-560, is to come up with a category called SET LIST. Something a musician that gigs or anyone else could easily put together 40 songs and easily get back to them and look at the name of the songs (that you named it). So you could easily have settings for songs in your set list and easily get to them, edit them or change them. I did this using the clunky registration nonsense but getting back to them, you would have to make a list of them and keep them somewhere or you would have a tough time getting back to them. Does that make sense to any gigging musicians out there that might happen to read this? Why not have a category called SETLIST that you could easily get to in the display. Set one , Set two, Set three, Set four. In Set one the next layer would be songs 1 through ten. You could scroll through the list and you would see the name of the song or abbreviation you came up with. And you could drill down on each song to the settings that you are using. Maybe you have the keyboard divided up into four parts with different instruments/sounds for each part. The 560 is a fantastic keyboard with great ideas. I used the function that allows you to set up different parts of the keyboard for different sounds. I never played keyboards but when I was taking lessons from a fellow musician I had programmed the 560 on the Journey song "Separate Ways" I decided to take a small part of the song which is normally played much higher on the keyboard and put it down below to the left of the main verse. I remember it really surprised the guy I was taking lessons from. I don't recall how many octave ranges there are on the 88 keys but I was way down there in the bass range so to speak. Pretty damned cool. I never came close to doing things on the 560 that can be done with it. For a while I got fairly deep into it, considering I was a newbie on the keys, I'm really a bass player that played a little electric guitar and classical guitar and clarinet even in the days when kids in school had music programs.
Намучилась я с этим пианино, подробной инструкции нет, репертуара нет. Во встроенных стилях играть невозможно, постоянно делаю свои. Возможности у инструмента огромные, но учиться этому негде и не у кого.
There is a plasticky rebounding sound from the white keys. Have asked Casio to fix this annoying issue.. There aren't enough people who find it annoying yet for them to do a recall and fix them all. But, other than that... There are so many good features to this keyboard and when they solve this issue, it will be an excellent choice.. But, this noise isn't heard when playing loud.. It is a sound that can be heard actually when the unit is turned off. It isn't part of the electronics at all its mechanical only.
