For the price range and competition, in my humble opinion, all around this is the best keyboard made. I suppose you could always put "YAMAHA" or "ROLAND" on the audience side and band side of the keyboard so that no one will give you a hard time because of the old stigma of Casio being a toy type keyboard, which I found out it wasn't - even though I had old Casio's that seemed like toys but were still pretty powerful for very inexpensive keyboards. Not that other keyboards in the same range aren't as good or better in certain categories, but overall I think the 560 shines. One thing I noticed is that regular gigging keyboard players, professional keyboard players, learned how to use the Yamaha's and Rolands, etc. They were forced to learn how to do things with those keyboards that would be difficult for most people to learn. So they are used to using them and know the "tricks" to get the keyboards to do what they want them to do. They're used to them and know them very well. A new guy like me to keyboards, I look at it from the outside looking in. Maybe a little more objectively in some ways.
I was new to keyboards back in 2015. I bought the PX-5S and the PX-560 and took some lessons from a former band mate who was an excellent keyboard player. Anyway, my point is actually that I bought two used keyboards first. One was a Yamaha keyboard and the other a Roland, both very popular and powerful. But I found them pretty difficult to learn how to use them. I sold the used keyboards and went to the Casio keyboards because they were a lot easier to learn, especially the PX-560 with the large color touchscreen. I think the 560 especially should revolutionize, or should have revolutionized, the way keyboards are put together for the player and ease of use. More user friendly but still just as powerful. Why the industry never came up with a much larger color screen and touchscreen as well, I'll never know. There are some major improvements that Casio could make to the 560 to truly revolutionize certain things, like registrations. Put the Registrations on the color touchscreen in their own category. That would be a tremendous help to gigging musicians or just to help people that save settings for their favorite songs. Image a Set List at your fingertips. No more writing it down somewhere and hoping you can find it. Where did I save that Journey song, was it 1-3, or 3-6 or whatever. I've run into that many times. Unless you are playing day by day or week by week, you will forget. Another cool thing would be to allow an iPad or laptop to be connected to the 560 and have more control and maybe more options. Imagine having a keyboard you can type on. I know the 560 has a keyboard type thing but a separate iPad/Laptop would be much easier and obviously a much larger screen. The keyboard could have a place to actually hold an ipad. Maybe a separate gizmo, add on. And allow the files to be transfered directly to and from your iPad or computer or whatever.
Hey Chuck, thanks for the great information about this stage piano. I bought one and I am very happy with it. I took it already with me to some of our gigs and parties. Great piece of machine!
@@dryvur 100%, that's actually one of the first effects I looked for. You have to layer a couple different synth tones and adjust the effects a bit but you can get it to sound identical. You can also bank up to 24 setups so you can just press a couple buttons and alternate between Keith's effects for different songs.
I just bought the PX-560 and I'm delving into the basics of tone editing. Where can I find info on this geared toward someone with no MP&E experience? Some of the sound engineering terms used in the booklet are not familiar to me, and a few terms I couldn't even find using a Google search online.
Looks like a great instrument, I haven't got the opportunity to test it yet. I have a Yamaha CP-50, whose sounds and keyboard are absolutely great, but the interface is crap (try to start metronome and change its tempo, you'll understand what I mean), and it is heavy, and not amplified... But the latest PX I tested had a sound that I did not like (dzzz effect in the attack, not sure I'm making myself clear)... But they were previous generation, (and I did not like Yamaha CP-3* generation as well). Still having a
Hello Chuck!, I was checking your videos. I bought a privia 560m based on your reviews, and I am very happpy. Thanks!. One thing I noticed, is that the privia doesn't have very good DX pianos like yamaha. Is there a chance you can create a video to build one DX piano for the privia 560? That would be wonderful.
Thanks for the great video and also: thanks for showing me the PX560! Hadn't seen it and boy: does it pack a lot for a pittance! I have looked, but I have not found anything close to its features at that price. Still: does the PX560 compare favourably to the SL 88 grand as a (f.i. MainStage) controller? cheers and keep pianoing man!!
+Michiel Buisman - PX560 and SL88 are apples & oranges. PX560 is a multi-faceted instrument (stage piano, synth, sound composition tool, multi-track recorder, arranger, etc) whereas SL88 is strictly a controller with no sounds/instruments of its own. PX560 is not a very good controller, so if that's what you're looking for, go with the SL88. Alternately, another 'bang-for-buck' controller with sounds and synth capabilities and sound-design capabilities is the Casio Privia PX-5S.
+David Izquierdo Azzouz - If you're thinking of using it for a single virtual (or software-based) piano only, then yes, it will be fine. However, if you're going to use it to control a variety of sounds, it does not send bank/program changes, which is essential for a controller!
+PianoManChuck I connected my privia 560M with VMPK it has a communication with the GM tones. I'm still looking for software to play straight on the computer. But if I understand well you need a controller for it. I thought that any stage piano is a controller? Well this is my first non acoustic piano, after trying a roll up piano, which was more easy to connect with VMPK then the casio! So probably the roll-up was a controller and the casio is not? THanks a lot for all your testing! You say Casio is in for feedback. WHere to write too? Regards, Deev Plantinga
CHUCK, love all your vids and own a 560 too. I heard you mention some kind of trick or hack to get all 4 voices playing across the entire 88 keyboard. I never been able to figure this out. Can you please share the hack with me? DAVE..
I may be wrong but I think it has to do with using four different Hex Layer Sounds. If I'm correct you can set up four different Hex Layer Sounds which could be very similar to the preset sounds that you may want and then be able to split the keyboard into four parts instead of just splitting it in two parts. I think you can set up Hex layer sounds any way you want them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Like this video, and I have this instrument myself. But being a bit of a newbie, I have no idea what LFO, Attack time, portamento or most of these terms on this instrument are for. Not having music-tuned ears I ost of the time cannot hear any diffference when changing parameters in this instrument. I wish there was a video explaining all the parameters on this instrument, what they are, what they do and so forth, with sound examples of course. And if anyone has any tips for an easier way to change the time signature of a rythm, i.e. 3/4 or 4/4, than going into the correct menu and altering the time signature there, please let me know in a reply comment.
You might want to contact Casio support if you're having a key problem... or at least start by posting your problem in the Celviano forum at www.casiomusicforums.com
I have the PX-5S. I see that the PX-560 is not billed as a "replacement." I have the Kawai MI11 for home. How do these two Casio compare for gigging? How are the speakers, drums? I see there is no battery. Will it run on the (RavPower? I do find the PX-5S difficult to deal with, due to the configurations, but I do like being able to tweak the sounds and layer. I know your thoughts on the PX-350 for gigging over the PX-5S. How does this new board fit in? I see it weighs a couple more pounds.... Thanks...
+Jeffrey Newton - PX560 is not a replacement to the PX5S. Its the best board (IMHO) Casio has come up with yet for gigging! A RavPower unit will power this board. Speakers are excellent for solo gigging, but not for a band (need a PA for that, as with any other pro board). While the PX5S was difficult to maneuver with its menuing system and small screen, this one's a breeze - and you don't really need to crack open a manual to figure out anything with that color graphic touch screen. If you like the capabilities of the PX5S but hate the navigation, the PX560 solves that for you! The only thing is that its not a great controller (which I don't need it for anyway) - that's where the PX5S shines. Here's an excellent source for the differences between the PX5S and the PX560: casiomusicgear.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/the-definitive-px-5s-vs-px-560-comparison/
+PianoManChuck Thanks, Chuck! Can the PX-560 nevertheless accept a MIDI'd sampled piano, such as Ivory? I do like to use the Fazioli, even on my Kawai MP11. If I want to bring a small laptop (or Surface Pro) to the gig, I'd like to run the Ivory-Fazioli. Not a deal breaker, since I like the Casio piano sounds for gigging well enough anyway.
+Jeffrey Newton - Not sure what you mean - controllers/boards do not "accept a MIDI'd sampled pianos", they control them (that's why they're referred to as "controllers" when using software pianos). Any board with a MIDI OUT (or MIDI over USB) should work with any software-based piano.
Most of those effects option exists on my privia 360.. this is what i've been looking for.. thanks for the share, Sir.. really like this video
Please how to save a new sound? I'm gong to buy a px 360 m but i don't understand how to save and then recall a modified sound

And, by the way, Congratulations to the people at Casio that put the 560 together. Fantastic!
