Serious ControlThe PX-5S is a powerful four zone controller, complete with 4 knobs and 6 sliders all of which are completely configurable to control internal sounds, effects parameters or send continuous controllers to other gear. Each zone on the PX-5S can control an internal sound, an external MIDI device or both simultaneously. The PX-5S redefines what a stage piano should be, providing an arsenal of other sounds and creative tools. The PX-5S includes powerful Hex Layer tones complete with real-time filters and also features four programmable arpeggiators and multitrack phrase sequencing. |
Stage SettingsTo easily access the sounds you need for your performance are Stage Settings. Each Stage Setting configures up to 4 keyboard zones, knob / slider assignments, phrases, arpeggios and effects settings. The PX-5S has 100 completely user configurable Stage Settings which are arranged in 10 banks of 10 each. When you’re within a bank, each Stage Setting is just one button press away allowing you to seamlessly switch configurations during a live show. Stage Settings can easily be edited, moved or replaced using the PX-5S’s Data Manager software. |
Hex LayersHex Layers were originally introduced in the award winning XW-P1 synthesizer. Due to the power of the AiR sound source, PX-5S takes them several steps further. A Hex Layer is a single complex tone that can be made up of six sample layers. These can be stacked (layered), split or velocity switched. Each of those six layers gets its own filter (LP, HP, BP) and filter envelope, its own AMP envelope and pitch envelope (all 7 stage envelopes). You can even have layers that are triggered on key-release. A Hex Layer tone gets its own insert effect but you can choose if a layer uses that insert or the amount that goes to the system effects (chorus, delay, reverb). Best of all, the PX-5S can use two Hex Layer tones simultaneously. |
Audio Recording and PlaybackUsing a standard USB thumb drive, your performances or moments of inspiration can easily be captured as a standard . WAV file. Simply press the Audio Record button two times and the PX-5S is ready to record. Similarly, the PX-5S can play back . WAV files that are put on the USB drive. The second footswitch can be used to start or stop playback while you play along with your own pre-recorded backing tracks. |

A little background...
I have been goofing around with keyboards all my life, but joined a band a couple of years ago. This made me focus on playing and figuring out what equipment would work for gigging, on a tight budget. I owned a Yamaha DX-21 years ago and have a Yamaha DGX-620 at home, mainly for my daughter to play. I even hauled that beast to a few gigs until I could get my first Casio.
My first Casio was the PX-130, which was a great starter instrument. It had just a few sounds and no display, though. Tough for live performances. Then, I was able to sell that and upgrade to the Privia PX-350, which I still own. An excellent upgrade which I was happy with for over a year.
I had been looking for a way to afford the PX-5S, but had to wait for a deal. When I finally purchased it a few weeks ago, it was worth the wait! It has the same key bed as the PX-350, which includes weighted, textured keys--a nice piano feel. The feel is a bit heavier than my Yamaha DGX-620, but you can adjust key velocity if that bugs you.
The keyboard...
You can read all the technical details, so what I'll say here is to give perspective. I love how light it is. At around 26 lbs., you can easily carry it using a Privia gig bag--which is only about $60--either using the handles, or a shoulder strap. I will be upgrading to a porter with wheels simply since I can then carry all the extra cables and such in one trip.
The number and variety of sounds, and the fact that you can download new ones that either Casio, or users post, is super fun. The piano sounds are great, but I really have more fun playing with the EPs, organs, and clavs. Note: There is a Wah-wah Clav that actually uses the sustain pedal for the wah effect! With the 6 sliders and 4 knobs, you can adjust many sound effects--reverb, attack, etc--on the fly.
There are 100 stage setups in 10 banks of 10. You can customize a stage setup for every song, if you wish, even editing the title of it. This is particularly useful for gigging, since with a couple key presses, you can switch instruments.
The interface is fine, but not super user friendly. Plan to invest time in learning the menus. For someone who loves technology, like me, it wasn't hard to get the basics down. There are hundreds of parameters, once you start digging, so you can customize just about anything.
My first gig with it is coming up in a week, but I've been playing it at home and love it so far!!
Particularly useful in making my decision and learning about the instrument were Piano Man Chuck's YouTube videos and the archived YouTube produced by Casio general manager, Mike Martin (what a talented guy!).

Anyway, it's clearly worth the $1000 but if you can get one in great condition used or refurbished, like I did, you will be even happier! A tip of the hat to Warehouse Deals, Inc. I purchased my PX-5S in "Very Good" condition through them at a significant discount, although the machine is practically brand new.
This is the best value in terms of feeling like you're playing on a grand or upright piano. The grand piano and electric pianos are fantastic. The new updated stage and sound setting from the forum are excellent. The strings and synth pads are also very good. The bass patches and brass patches are useable. I however prefer the bass, guitar and brass sounds on the moxf8 and fantom. It does have a phrase recorder to capture those moments of inspiration(good or bad). However IMHO, The sequencer, arpeggiator and drums are better on moxf8 (if that is why you are getting it).
Great for studio and live use. Some folks don't care for the white color. I actually like the geeky white color.
If you gig a lot, you will appreciate how easy it is lug around, use with batteries etc.
Go ahead and get it. You won't regret it.
Here are the pros and cons:
Warning: This piano keyboard is for those who have had an extensive experience in electric keyboards before, knowing how synthesizers works by a sleight of hands; who have had Casio before; and for those (beginners/intermediate learners) who are into spending days after days to figure out how this button works, this and that. Reason was they have come out with a poorly written manuals/instructions on how to go back to an original default stage or moving on to a next level so-to-speak of what you want to do in a song. The manual directs you to a website which will pained you locating the instructions/youTube you wish to find in figuring out the mess you just created with your piano defaults.
In knowing your Casio PX5S 88-key....E.g. This is not like knowing instantly the sensitive parts of your car, the gas pedal, break, steering wheel, headlight, hazard lights, wiper blades and all basics a new driver expects to easily find in a new model car. This piano is more complex/complicated than a computer I supposed, with its instructions/manual that is not even helpful.
You will have to spend hours and hours to figure out what to do and you will be just by yourself to know it.
Pros: This is the best ever, way way inexpensive electric keyboard in the market, I could say # 1 that has almost all the features piano players wanted to have in their keyboard at the best price they (Casio) offer, Yamaha and others can't beat that. It is designed elegantly that any bystanders who don't have the piano skills would love to touch and play do-re-mi. Kudos to Casio for evolving (continually) into the piano world, compared in the 80s, where in their pianos are nothing but a children's toy. For gigs, self-practice and stage performance Casio PX5S 88-key can function at its best and be at par to Yamaha, Korg and others. Hammered keys, a touch of grand pianos acoustic sound and a light-material (plastic) that truly made it easy to carry where ever you go; records/playback, which you can always do so, as to personally check how you do well in a song you loved to learn; it has AA batteries slots if in case you just have blackouts in the area where you live/ or in an open rice field where there is no electricity and wish to play it still; synthesizers for experienced/ advanced electric piano players, who loves to do some experimentation of the music he plays; flash drive so you can connect your piano playing to your computer and save it, hey send it to your friends to listen to.
Before you purchase this PX5S 88-key, you got to have at least an earphones to hear the sound, it has no built-in speakers, or you got to have an amplifiers so as to connect it and blast the piano sound in the concert hall you wish your audience to hear. The reason, I think they do this is very simple: In live performances you really do need an amplifier anyway, to back-up your piano built-in speakers, with someone singing in a microphone, an amplifier is truly needed to equalize the sounds (which you will do soon, in any social events that is to take place in your area, be brave enough and show your skills). And in doing this, the PX5S 88-key has become more lighter in weight than others in the market.
Will I recommend this keyboard to friends? Only to those who are well-experienced in playing electric keyboards and to those beginners who have all the time in the world to spend in learning how this and that buttons work. But offering this as a gift to a novice player who doesn't have enough time to waste, no.
By adding a few hundred dollars ($500 at least) in your logistic or easy-payments 6 months (you have to be on time with your payment and at the amount they require, or else pay interest, check Ebay), I will buy instead a Yamaha P255B, wherein it has a record player as well, which beginners will truly love; an area where Yamaha excels "user friendly,"; synthesizers for experienced keyboard players; and of course the grand piano acoustic sound that it (Yamaha) boast off.
That's it folks, happy playing with your piano, as Ludvig Van Bethoven said: "Don't only practice your art, But force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine."
