Well the MZ-X500 looks quite interesting.I personally think the new color scheme (blue) is a welcome change and it's good to note that Casio finally granted their flagship arranger workstation those MIDI I/O ports, expression pedal input (that the WK-series lacked) and added the multi-pad functionality as well.Īnd the speakers of the MZ-X500.these should be quite loud for an arranger workstation class.I remember my old Casio CTK-811Ex keyboard is still functional after more than a decade and it's speakers were already loud back then (and they still are to this date). Better samples of bread and butter sounds (i.e. Some sample/trigger pads (for triggering audio samples/clips)Ĩ. touch strip in addition to the current Pitch/Mod wheelsĦ. Exp pedal input (sorry to mention this again)ĥ. Larger screen (doesn't need to be touchscreen but that would be welcome too)Ĥ. Six to 8 zones, with toggle on/off switches below each zone fader/slider (of course each zone can be freely assigned to any of the 16 MIDI channels)Ģ. May be its about time to introduce a successor to the PX-5s that improves on the current features of the PX-5s to make Casio's "Pro" stage-keyboard line more appealing/enticing in light of recent competition (value models such as Juno DS-88 and MX-88) and the more recently introduced expensive digital stage-piano offerings from Roland (RD-2000), Yamaha (Montage 8).ġ. To date, the PX-5s still has unique features that adds value to its competitive pricing.īut Roland has released its value digital piano+synth Juno DS-88 and Yamaha's MX-88.so competition is catching up at least with the digital piano+synth-function model.
