cant believe casio has this 7 years ago...amazing!!... what is the new version of this today 2024?

[@32NinerBravo]

Unbelievable board for that price and weight. This was a fantastic demonstration of what this thing can do. This has everything I was looking for and more. I'm still learning so this is perfect.

[@jibinjacob.]

Casio needs such great demonstrators. Most of their products are never marketed properly.

[@Transterra55]

Thanks Tony! After watching several demos of the PX560, this is the best demo on KZbin... Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee.

[@AndreyBassNotes]

Best product demo and I am convinced I want to buy this keyboard.

[@fpham8004]

Wow, the demo synth sounds were not bad at all! And of course the piano sound was top notch. I never thought I would be actually thinking of checking out casio.

[@chrisjrlachica1098]

That superbly compelling lower A octaves (A0 and A1) (1:51). WOW! JUST WOW! This piano sample of Casio is far better than any Digital Piano Sample I've heard from other brands. Very Dynamic Sounds.

[@jpastoreli]

The best demo for PX 560m.

[@silverbirch9502]

Tony is an amazing keyboard player, but I'm totally baffled when he say's Casio have never made anything quite like the PX560. The Casio PX5-S Stage Piano came out over three years ago, sounds incredible, has an amazing synth engine, has the same textured keys and is used by many gigging professionals. That aside, both pianos are stunning.

[@Geohillierneo]

Silver Birch I agree, he said never heard Casio make a piano sound like it .... but its exactly the same as the px360 sound (which is good, but still)

[@hienvu1714]

Maybe Tony said "sound like this before..." because the PX-560 has built-in speakers and the PX-5S didn't :)

[@hienvu1714]

I don't believe the PX-360 has Hex layers.

[@robertstrong8966]

Thank you, Tony, for your excellent review and great playing. Casio has long been regarded as a lower price "alternative" brand, with a good sound, but not in the same league with Roland, Yamaha & others. This new PX560 makes Casio as a serious contender with others regarded as "elite" brands! The piano sound is astonishingly close to fine acoustic grand tone. At this price, Casio PX560 offers features the others lack! For example: I need dedicated control for transpose, etc, which this Casio has The other brands at this price have one button for multiple functions which you must hold, and then also simultaneously press assigned key-notes to execute the change--requiring two hands operation, so you can't make changes while playing on live gigs.

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

Wow I like the Casio but what Ireally want is TONY....in my band lol!

[@overcomerenterprizes7577]

Incredible! Amazing Demo Tony. Thanks!

[@reikamaria2077]

This would be a most amazing keyboard ... if not for organ sounds. I love what Casio have been doing on the latest years, improving a lot. But the organs! why oh why. 80s keyboards had better organs. Truly. And I think it's time for a new model. I know this one only in the last couple of years has raised interest (because it was wrongly marketed as a "stage piano" whereas it is a workstation), but a new, revised one would be a much welcomed addition.

[@marceloshop6117]

Comprei um e acho ótimo além de ser muito fácil de usar devido sua tela de LCD!

@@galaxysiilite7865 Olá! Sistema de teclas é bom mas barulhento (nos modelos do final de 2020 começaram a ficar silenciosas). Fácil de usar mas seus sons não tem a qualidade que as outras marcas como Yamaha, Roland e Korg!

[@CasioMusicUK]

Great demo Tony!

[@lynchallands7036]

I replaced my Tyros with this Kb ...it is amazing. Definately the flagship to join the big boys. Thanks Casio!

[@CasioMusicUK]

Great shout Lyn - enjoy!

[@bobcatt2294]

You think the workflow of one compares with the other - as ease of use and making logical sense from one motion to the other?

[@hienvu1714]

If Lyn used the Tyros to play piano or electric piano then the PX-560 would be a huge improvement. I bought a 76-key Tyros 5 thinking I could get by playing piano or electronic piano on it when I'm just messing around and don't want to turn on another keyboard but I can't so I have a PX-560 above the Tyros just for piano and electric pianos. I also have a Korg Kronos 88 and a Yamaha MOXF8 in another room. I prefer the 560 over both of those.

[@graghamstaylor2341]

Hien Vu , Me too, I have a PX 560, a Korg PA 4X 76 , a Roland VR -09B & a Roland BK7m module(which both have RD Piano sounds onboard) but even when I midi any of these out of the nice action 88 note PX 560, I still prefer the Casio Piano sound & most importantly it seems to 'amp up' on stage better than the others, particularly the Roland's , although as a recording workstation the PA 4X is out on its own & the auto backings on the BK7m & PA 4X are on a different level to the Casio . However the Casio is not marketed as a Workstation although it is usable as one, is highly editable & has a monster synth engine separate to the piano engine. Horses for courses etc!!

[@donhowardii1626]

I watched another video where they compared this with a Kawai MP7 and a Korg Kronos. I closed my eyes while listening to the piano sounds of each to see which one I would pick. To my surprise, I picked the Casio Privia PX560 every time. This seems like an amazing instrument for the money.

[@bobcatt2294]

Don, on strings too?

[@ronrobbins2737]

You're awesome man! Our 560 is arriving in a few days but wish we could hire YOU to play our next gig !!

[@musicmatters1114]

Which has the best keyboard feel, the Casio PX-560 or the Yamaha DGX-670?

[@Ryodakun]

I am thinking about buying this one as an upgrade from my old yamaha p-95. But before that I need to test the feel somewhere.

[@russlightfoot]

I'm really excited about this keyboard. The first electronic piano I owned was a Casio and I am looking for a new piano. Just curious, in your opinion, how do the acoustic pianos and the touch of the keyboard compare to the Yamaha CP40? The Yamaha has been top of mind for purchase for a while, but this Casio looks really amazing. Thanks!

[@mariocampos1969]

I currently own a PX350, bought back in 2016. It still works very well, but I am considering upgrading. Would I notice significant difference in action? I do like very much the PX350 action, though is a bit noisy.

[@musicmatters1114]

Does anybody know how this compares to the Yamaha DGX 670?

How PX 560 compared with Yamaha DGX 660?

[@equinoxpete]

How come nobody demos the one audio track to put down a vocal? Can you? If yes, can you add effects on the vocal? I can't tell you how many people I've asked over the years on youtube (including top marketing people from Casio and not one them ever answer me.

[@ric2play]

can you fade layers in and out?

[@88keyssavio8]

which is the great piano ??casio privia px560 or yamaha DGX-660 ?? am so confused in this ..

[@elizabethstone7915]

I'm only just familiarizing with this machine, but a major disappointment has been not being able to name the sounds (that is, tunes) stored in the User Registrations. The storage process is simple and efficient, but it seems like you'd need a separate place -- even a paper notepad! -- to list song names and locations. Very inconvenient. Any suggestions?

[@musicmatters1114]

If I may ask, how does this compare with the Yamaha DGX-670? I was considering the Yamaha but now I am considering the Casio. Can anyone help me decide? Thanks! From what I've learned the Casio does not have blue tooth, the Yamaha does. The Casio does have an arpeggiator, the Yamaha does not.

[@TONYT123]

how does this compare , in your view, to the mz-x500? thx

[@moonshinebandit9709]

Can you use the 560 as a midi controller for a drum machine?

I want to buy a compact keyboard, I cannot make my mind up to buy this Casio or the Roland DS88 Juno keyboard. It looks easier to use. What are the differences between the two.

[@fahimdawer]

Marina_78 juno ds is a synthesizer and this one is a digital piano along with other tones this has a weighted keys which juno had not and speakers so that keyboard is a sound machine and this one is a digital piano

[@7879Marina]

FAHIM UR REHMAN thank you for your help. So, this is a good piano to classical and pop tunes learn on as I am an absolute beginner ? I wanted to buy a decent full keyboard piano which doesn't take too much space as well, but also has a few different sounds.

[@stringsnare]

is this still worth it in...2020? looking for a piano to work on my harmony/composing skills, and away from the computer!

[@higgy7762]

why not. Piano sound has it's defects but it 's not so bad either (who says it's 'perfect' has no ears). In that price range, the keybed is really good and at the level of Roland PHA-4 (on FP10-60). The operation with the touch screen is totally self explaining and ultrafast - I wish, it'd be also on the PX5S :)

[@stringsnare]

thanks for your comment. I am gonna buy it. I was waiting for Namm 2020 but looks like casio don't wanna update this. theres a few other competitors from korg & Yamaha but not 88 key. thanks man!

[@higgy7762]

@@stringsnare as obviously you are serious, some more words: the keybed is rather on the heavy side. It's not easy to play for a beginner, eventually consider it as good training :) The 'natural sounds' (trumpets, solo strings, etc) are so lala, as are the vintage organs (this is still a bit Bontempi era). The piano sound is a bit metallic, somewhat guitar-like and there are pronounced transitions where the multi-note samples change - not so nice. My recommendation is: try to get used to it ;) The factory synth sounds are IMPRESSING. And then there is the hex-layer editor that you can use to layer different sounds, e.g strings+brass, but also use as an virtual analog synthesizer with 6 (!) oscillators. A good example is shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbPlXZop8Z2o9E (kudos to Casio for their video tutorials which turn other manufacturers pale). You should register to official www.casiomusicforums.com providing a lot of sounds and patches for download. I'm no Casio aficionado and normally end up with Roland gear, but truth must be told :)

has the casio ctx700 good with saxophone?

hi bro..great demo!! i have a question regarding the casing of PX 560. Is it all plastic or the blue portion is metallic? thanks

[@bonnersmusic]

Thanks for your comment! The whole casework is plastic

[@frankhurley674]

Thanks Tony I fell in with this keyboard after you demo,very professional,Thanks

[@malelonewolf80]

Will studio monitors provide a significant improvement in sound quality over the internal speakers of this piano or will the improvement be negligible? (For home / amateur playing, not for professional playing or sound design).

[@bonnersmusic]

Hi Jens. This would depend on the size and quality of the studio monitor speakers - basic small / cheap monitors wouldn't be worth getting, but a decent pair eg: Yamaha HS7 or HS8 would possibly be an improvement.

[@SLOVENEC1972]

Always love your demos and superb playing! I'm wondering if the PX560 is available in Australia? What's the main difference between the PX560 and PX360?

[@lynchallands7436]

Yep! I've just bought one in Melbourne :)

[@jasepotts2865]

I'm considering buying one of these BUT also looking at the Roland FP90. For the speakers. Can anyone tell me how these compare on playing and quality. I can't find a comparison and nowhere to play them both. Cheers Jase

[@bonnersmusic]

Hi Jase, it really depends on what you plan on using it for. They have strengths in different areas and one may be more suited to your needs than another. Contact us directly or pop into one of our showrooms. Our Keyboard Specialists will be happy to help!

[@jetwoman10001]

what is the sound coming out of?

[@Nayansinghmusic]

It's has two pairs of speakers one pair facing the player and the other pair facing the audience

[@7879Marina]

what is the difference between a synthesiser and a piano? More sounds arrangements?

[@bonnersmusic]

Traditionally a piano has a weighted key action, and a synth would have a semi-weighted 61 key action, with a much larger library of voices. If you would like any more info, please do not hesitate to email us at [e-mail]

[@bartonmusic1]

How's the Hammond B3 sound? Is it controllable with an expression pedal? I'm sold if I can get a good Leslie effect out of this thing.

[@bonnersmusic]

The PX560 does have some great Hammond Organ type sounds on board to suit all tastes. You can use the Modulation wheel for the Leslie function, or you can assign to a pedal if you wish. Come down to our Eastbourne store and try it out!

[@senecarose5280]

how many sounds does this have?

[@Philigrane5993]

I recognize that the sounds of pianos, strings, EP and some pads are extremely good but the other sounds need to be significantly improved. I prefer not to talk about drum sounds. . . On the other hand, I downloaded the user manual and concerning the MIDI sequencer, better to pass his engineering degree before using it.

[@musicaldracula2017]

Casio should release a new version of this piano with new sounds on PX-S7000. The concept is better than PX-S Series.

[@BlisterHiker]

I 100% agree. I love the 560 and its editing capabilities. They should grow the concept and offer a new version soon. But, I won't buy it 🙂 I'm not saying goodbye to my 560 any time soon, but I'm sure many new users would've been happy!

[@sushrutgaikwad7523]

Thank you for the video. Can you please tell me whether it has long Piano samples having long and natural decay of Piano sound just like an Acoustic Grand Piano?

[@tranhoanghuan]

No it absolutely doesn't. Roland is the leader in digital piano world, much better than Yamaha and Casio so I would advise you to spend your money wisely on a Roland instead.

[@icarusi]

The Casio does have long samples but the're less complex sounding than the Korg Krome which has full length piano samples in a large memory bank. The downside, the Krome has a couple of clunky keys sampled which should never have been used. I have both boards and the Casio needs a close listen to hear the difference. IMO it sounds better than Yamahas, other than the most recent model. In normal use you won't notice. but if you want to end a piece with a very long sustained note or chord on a recording, it's worth checking the various boards yourself. If you can't hear the difference then it won't matter.

[@bobcatt2294]

Huan, most interesting comment. Decay is most important, especially within the realm of classical music, or utilizing the classical style, which would include movie scores. The following is from Casio: Damper Resonance gives you the deep feeling of the piano’s soundboard interacting with the strings. String Resonance models the harmonic relationships between vibrating strings. Hammer Response mimics the time between pressing the key and the hammer striking the strings. Key Off Simulation gives you control of a note’s decay by how quickly the key is released. And with a massive 256 notes of polyphony, you won’t have to worry about dropped notes, even while all of these incredible details are being recreated. www.casio.com/products/electronic-musical-instruments/privia-digital-pianos/px-560

[@akashmittal1534]

Thank You for answering. One more thing I like to know that in terms of other instrument sound quality like strings, guitar, saxophone which is your pick? or any other option apart from these two. I looking for piano that provide best sound in this range.
