Great job, Rich... as usual!

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

i remember years ago Rich was still working with Korg, and i photo shop Rich’s photo playing a px5s. i didnt realize, now he is working with Casio. Thanks Rich... i love all your demo coz u bring it in details.

[@dr.zamanritu9033]

Gosh I just wanted a piano review you Rick Rolled me!

[@kawai4christ]

Patiently waiting of my MZ-X500 to come in and then will be getting the 560. Why... some may ask? Fell in love with the PX-5S but sometimes I was a one man band (church musician) and needed drums in the background and someone told me about Casio releasing the 560 soon (of course this was a while ago) which met and actually over-exceeded my needs. My requirements were simple: 1. Change styles/rhythms on the fly, 2. Adjust to any musical situation in seconds notice 3. Portable 4. EASY to navigate 5. GREAT sounding grand piano (most important). I got the arranger first so no matter where I go, I can always have my rhythm section and use the MZ-X500 in conjunction to what the venue already has for their main setup. Plus both will fit in my sub-compact car with an AMP! Only one thing I would love for Casio to do is make a more sturdy music stand to have my iPad Pro on (Casio wishlist)

Thanks Rich, I just made the buy. Can you please tell me what's the pad you played in the end? It was really awesome.

[@seiph80]

I have the same keyboard! Question: what audio interface did you use to record the sound? and did you do any post processing after? Thanks!

[@Geohillierneo]

I love it when they talk about it having built in speakers as if thats a unique feature that you dont get with 90% of keyboards/digital pianos

[@royalblue0505]

As a rule, pro-level digital pianos, i.e., those with advanced features like the Korg Krome, Kross and Kronos series, the Yamaha MX, MOXF, MOTIF and Montage series, and the Roland Juno and FA series, don't have built-in speakers. The fact that the PX560 has onboard speakers makes it the exception rather than the rule in the pro keyboard category. Built-in speakers are more the norm for hobbyist-level pianos like the Yamaha P-series.

[@jessemenon837]

royalblue0505 the keyboards you have mentioned are not digital piano but are synthesizers and workstations. Almost every digital piano comes with a built in speaker. From the Yamaha Clavinova to the Casio Celviano and the Roland LX series (they are all flagship models)

[@jessemenon837]

Maafa 1619 oh no, even the best digital pianos do have a speaker. It is the Synthesizer and Workstations that don't have speakers. Even most of the arrangers have speakers.

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

jesse menon most of your higher end stage keyboards do not have onboard speakers,nord,Yamaha,Roland,kawaii,korg,Kurzweil,

[@royalblue0505]

@@jessemenon837 Sorry for the very late reply. It's true that the Korg, Yamaha, and Roland models I mentioned are classified as synths and workstations, but the 88-key variants of these models can also be considered as digital pianos. Maybe I should have made that qualification (88-key variants).

[@awakeamericanow]

I wonder what Amadeus would have made of one of theses bad boys?

[@HubertEtAlice]

[@lanecollins8080]

How does Casio get away marking this unit's price WAY less than their competitors? Where is the Casio lacking in regards to Nord, Korg, Yamaha, etc.

[@jacquesmertens3369]

This unit compares to a Korg Krome or similar. It's slightly cheaper though, and so is the sample quality of the sounds, unfortunately. Having said this, I do admire Casio for the efforts they've made during the past 10 years. They've come a long way.

[@Cosmic_Code]

How much does this one cost?

[@butternubs21playz42]

Cosmic Code about $1200

[@miguelrejas5034]

Lane Collins Because, Casio buys memory with samplers from a third part engineers and do not invest in years and thousands dollars in studies and development of new technology. They actually know that, the musicians and not pro level customers are now focused in playability, good piano and strings samplers (which they buy from larger memory prepared from not In house engineers). So, they give away what people want. But for serious musicians, they look abd search beyond.. new tech that will stay updated the long it can.. Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil & Kawai.. they do not only manufacture good boards but they spent hours, months and yrs in delivering new tech for making music always so fascinating and tasky. Casio, tries to desperately catch up with its competitors.. and they have actually put a good board since px5 /560 but still ugly and not study enough to last years..

Are those Yamaha StagePas speakers? I can understand why their badge is covered while demonstrating their keyboard. Last thing they want is for people to have Yamaha on their mind while looking at different keyboards lol

[@brahadeeshsuresh500]

how the keys as compared with the celviano and higher privia pianos , the weights etc

[@vito_keys]

Brahadeesh Suresh All Privias and Celvianos of the same generation (PX-x60 and AP-x60/x50) shares same keys. They feel exactly the same, no matter of the models. An exception is the Celviano Grand Hybrid, which have a completely different action

[@brahadeeshsuresh500]

Thanks i had actually bought the instrument i have it now for a year key feels much more authentic than some well know stages pianos at the price point I'm flattered , just speakers crack a bit when eq adjusted , phenomenal piano and ep samples ,retro synth sounds good for 80s 90s music , rest are average

[@FlyingPhilUK]

The Casios have an unbelievable amount of Key bounce & wobble! - very strange!

[@adrianfundescu5407]

But still well balanced keys.At least for me;-).

[@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).

[@PicoPianist]

None of the tones from any of the digital pianos would be able to top the samples that VSTs provide. Like the Synthogy Ivory II Steinway American Grand D. I have a very basic digital piano attached to a computer with JBL studio monitors . It sounds so heavenly.

[@PicoPianist]

And to answer your question, Yes Studio monitors playing high quality VSTs are way better that the inbuilt speaker playing inbuilt tones.

[@michaelmartin7918]

Yes of course monitors would improve sound speakers are smaller than I expected

[@nico_valerga]

Rich Formidoni in Casio?! What the heck just happend??!!

[@tomstone1949]

Can the second pedal be assigned a stop/start

[@jesselp50]

How are the organ sounds? Specifically B3 type sounds?

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

Jesse Hardin it would be great if you get a leslie pedal. Or the lester k pedal and it will give your organ sounds a great sounding leslie

[@TorBruheim]

This is not a good demo, even if the pianist is good. You should never start a piano demo with a distorted sound preset. The tone setting was awful. This piano sounds better than presented in this video.

what different with mzx 500 ?

[@actualdweeb3145]

This is digital piano but the mxz is an arranger

[@jessemenon837]

ronald parade you wont be getting the real time sequencers and the 16 pads in the Privia. Whilst you won't be getting 88 keys with the MZX. They are both great keyboards, having played both of them, the feel is better in the Privia but if you're a stage musician and use a lot of different sounds and mix them, the MZX is better but if you don't need any sequencer and Pads, but want the 88 keys, Privia is better

[@outhdare]

@@jessemenon837 I think I read that at least this privia and the lower model 360 both have sequencer.

It does not have monophonic lead sounds... What a shame. Disappointing. My search continues.

why is midi out/thru on one socket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ehhhhhhhhhh

[@alicaramba7680]

Lower cost. All manufactures do this in sub 1000 USD price keyboards. These anyway isn't for professionals who might need separate ports.

[@snoolee7950]

OMG what a pile of cheese

[@Daveinet]

DON'T YOU DARE PLAY THE SPEAKERS ON STAGE WHEN THE SOUND GUY IS WORKING ON OTHER INSTRUMENTS. Its more than just rude, it makes it impossible for the sound guy to hear what he needs to hear. The reason your sound is not up is because the sound guy can not do his job with other noise in the room.

[@chloedevereaux1801]

thru is a copy of out... this makes absolutly no sense

[@gustavoelizondo2498]

Not really, thru means that it will "pass-thru" anything received in the midi in.

[@thathiko1]

I get bored with so much chatter, one thing I want to hear as it sounds, less cart and more action than demonstration so boring ............. More than 12 minutes of fourth word

[@realkoko-loco]

Every Casio has very janky keys...they plastic clicky sounds--even the high-end ones. Yamaha is better, but not a ton. If you like playing pianos and like that real piano feel, you have to get a Roland. Even the keys on Roland's $700 FP-60 completely blow away every key bed on every Casio. I just did this today-I played every keyboard at the music store and my fingers and arms felt fatigued and overworked until I played the Roland. The others felt like toys in comparison.

[@michaelpietzsch]

any specific roland model you recommend

[@Daveinet]

You just discredited yourself by mentioning Roland. We had a Roland we paid $7000.00 for. The piano was out of tune with itself and was impossible to correct. Roland couldn't/wouldn't fix it. The piano was unusable. It had nothing to do with tuning temperament. It was just def engineers at Roland.

[@ALOISC1]

You've never heard of the Casio GP-510 "...revolutionary Natural Grand Hammer Action keyboard is made with full-length wooden concert grand piano keys, using the same materials and processes as the C. Bechstein concert grand pianos. A keypress sends a hammer along the same vertical path as a grand piano, with the same essential weighting and pivot points, resulting in a true and uncompromising piano touch." But then again I also fell for the "myth" that Casio in the past only made toys. Yesterday watched a YT video of a pro Casio synth that came out in 1984 - CASIO CZ-101 PD-Synthesizer (1984) Link to the CZ-101 PD demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWrMenuEi81mbKM

[@graghamstaylor2341]

Jason Kaiser , I've had a number of Roland & Yamaha stage pianos pianos; & also a current Casio PX 560 & before that a PX330. I found that whilst the Casios were only just ok through their own speakers , they were brilliant through quality Phones & most importantly for me as a gigging musician they 'amp up' incredibly well on stage. I personally love the feel of the Casio Tri- Sensor action although it can be a bit noisy when in a very quiet setting at very low volume levels . However, their latest 'slimline action' on the latest PX-S 1000 & 3000 is simply awful in comparison !!
