Hey Jeremy what waltz were you playing in the beginning? Such a beautiful piece!
@@teegees ua-cam.com/video/f7SS57LFPco/v-deo.html
Yes, At the 1:15 mark, i agree.
Very simple but it catches your attention.
Hello Sr. Jeremy ! nice to see you in this video showing a wonderfull piano design - ever - also enjoy when you are playing a french song writer set. Thank You.
@@teegees The Merry-go-round of Life from Howl's Moving Castle
I was an authorized Casio musical instrument service center for years. Compared to the other major brands, their acoustic piano sound was never a wow. But each year I was impressed by their improvement. What I can state is that the Casio digital pianos had the fewest key action problems of any of the brands. And generally they were quick inexpensive repairs. Yamaha, Roland, Kurzweil, Korg, and Kawai all had major design failures in their actions which kept my company in business for 35 years.
What'd you think of the older Alesis instruments? QS8s show up used all the time for ~$400, which is a steal for a solid chassis, excellent Fatar keybed, and very good multisampled grand pianos in the ROM.
Even before I'm hearing any of the specs, that's just a beautiful modern keyboard in terms of design alone
I also went out and bought a Casio Privia PX-S7000 about a week ago. I don't think the piano samples are going to blow anyone away, but it's just so fun to play. I have both my Nord Piano 5 and this Casio in my practice space, and I keep reaching for the Casio instead. Plus the Rhodes sound is great. I'm loving this thing!
Did you mean PX-S7000?
It's good to have options in your personal audio arsenal to suit your needs, mood, and particular application or project. I have my different keyboards and the Casio CT-S1 I plan to pick up tomorrow, and each have their own unique features and sounds for different things.
@@jjacob25101 Good catch, corrected my comment. Still having fun with this keyboard, particularly the Rhodes sounds.
@@Elivagar666 just comparing the piano sounds to the Nord - is it a worthy comparrison in SOUND?
It's nice to see a wholehearted recommendation of a digital piano and I have to congratulate Casio for its innovation. It might not be my perfect digital piano, but I am particularly impressed by Casio's latest sounds and functionality, plus its understanding of user needs such as portability and battery power. I guess we are all watching Casio closely now, waiting to see what new innovations it will think of.
I'm curious to know if the feel of the keys are efected by the slim format of this digital piano. Personally I would like to try it, but the chances are of that happening is like this (digital piano) very slim haha! Also not able to find a Kawai ES920, or ES520 eather🎹🎶
Almost the same situation here. Roland and Yamaha have excellent distribution and availability. But Kawai is almost non-existent except for the ES110. New Casio models are also largely unavailable.
AZ piano news' warning of production difficulties are turning out to be true indeed.
I want learning chord piano lessons. Learn more about. Love song secret. My relationship friendship partnership. My Boyfriend my friend my daughter. My girlfriend my husband my wife I want get out my chest
@@rolexmarcelo3218 yes Yamaha and Roland products are definitely a lot easier to find🎹🎶
@@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 Roland's younger sibling of their flagship RD2000 stage piano, the RD 88 is of a similar slim design, but with their renowned keyboard action. When you get to the level that playing feel, especially for weighted keys and all of the features like progressive hammer action, escapement, etc., you have to actually be there abd physically try it out for yourself, with the different touch response settings.
Jeremy, may I say how refreshing your videos are, and how I appreciate that you are so detail oriented, and never leave anything out! Incredible!
I'm still rocking my 1st edition Nord Piano 88 after 11 years of gigging and pretty much every day practice / sequencing. Has zero flaws with the keys, the only thing I had to replace was the triple pedal, it got flooded and I got a new one :)
I have the same keyboard but the keys are trashed now just from overplaying I think
Didn't saw the thumbnail, nor the video but just the title and I exactly knew it was gonna be the aesthetically perfect newly launched PXS 7000 😁 BTW Thank you so much Jeremy for this great video upon the PXS 7000 and for sharing your own reviews on this piece of utter beauty👍👍👍
Hello Jeremy. Regarding your comment at 7:31 that the PX-S7000 comes with 88 real wood keys made of spruce, the keys are actually plastic with spruce sides. This is similar to the Roland PHA-50 action and Studiologic Numa X Piano GT with its Fatar action TP/400 Wood. The keys are plastic, but they have thin wooden veneer inserts on the sides. They certainly look very nice and realistic enough to be confused with real wooden keys.
I noticed you mentioned the Yamaha MODUS line and showed a picture of the H01/H11. I played both models in person, they were much bigger than the pictures suggested, and had a modern and high-end look. It seems Casio is trying to target that market, but at a much more convenient price point. Of course, the MODUS H01/H11 had a much more sophisticated amplifier and speaker system, actual natural wood keys (NW), plus a much more upscale finish (and it was much more expensive).
I see this new Casio as a pretty piano for the most part, and looks does sell. From a purely functional point of view, I am not impressed. I am not impressed with the tone generator engine or the features. That award goes, in my book, to the Yamaha DGX-670. That piano is half the price, has 600 high quality tones, 270 styles with 4 variations each, better speakers than the PX-S7000, a large color screen, 16-track sequencer, etc. Regarding the Yamaha GHS action vs Casio Smart Hybrid action: the Casio beats the GHS mostly in terms of looks because of its nice finish and the wooden veneer inserts on the sides. I am sure it feels very nice as well. But in the end both are plastic actions without advanced features that would attract more professional players.
I see the PX-S7000 as a nice looking digital piano that is well rounded, although mainly targeted to home users who want an instrument that stands out in the crowd, but not because of amazing sound or touch, but mostly because of looks.
You seem like an expert, maybe you could enlighten me.
I know, it is not really comparable price wise. But how does the Roland FP-30X stand against this one regarding key action and sound clarity?
It also has 264 polyphony and a good weighted key action. So in what exactly is the pxs-7000 better performing?
question nr 2: If I plug the FP-30X to a audio-software where I can play the most qualitative high resolution sounds, would you still say that there is a difference between those two?
@@zjaeger1800 Hello, not an expert he he but I can surely share my opinion with you :) I haven't seen the PX-S7000 in person yet to judge action and sound quality. I have played the FP30X and the FP90X, as well as I owned the FP50 and the RP401R (both discontinued now and are about 6 years old). I have also played the PX-S1000, PX-S3100, and PX-S1100. I think the wisest choice is the FP30X. I don't think the PX-S7000 gives you a lot more in terms of sound and key action. However, the PX-S7000 is a prettier piano. It is more about looks and fit and finish rather than being more functional than the FP30X. For $2,500, I would buy a Yamaha CLP725 or Kawai CA49 here in the US, which are much better choices than the Casio PX-S7000. Or I would buy a Yamaha CP88 or MODX8+, or a Kawai MP7SE. There are too many professional products at that price range that are way better than the PX-S7000. But again, if you just want a good looking piano, the PX-S7000 seems to be a very good choice.
Regarding your second question: I am not sure if you mean to use the FP30X as a MIDI controller of vst sounds, or you mean to record the internal Roland sounds via a DAW... I think either way the Roland gives you a more functional performance for much less money. I hope this helps... still the best way to decide would be to test them in person.
Just bought one because this piano is very special ! The sounds are wonderfull !
You’re 100% correct this has set a new standard for home/gig digital piano! ❤
Recently bought the Nord Grand, and honestly one of the best digital pianos I've ever played on. Pretty pricey, though, but well worth it
Nord’s pianos, and synthesizers are smooth as silk. Simply amazing products….
Yeah, nothing touches the Nord grand in my experience
I have Roland as my brand preference, but like Yamaha and Casio, the other brands not so much, but I acknowledge that Nord is definitely top tier for the discriminating professional keyboardist if they find it to there liking, and all the features and qualities suits them. Pricey, yes, but you get what you pay for, and it is well worth the price if it is what you are willing to pay it.
@@hlcotten6587 What great about the Nords is lots of upgradability with voices. But Roland, Yamaha and Casio have their own perks. It also depends on the player, with their perspective, personal tastes, training and proficiency, what they need and want, what sounds, features, aesthetics and tactile feel and response of the keyboard, and many other factors. If it works for you and makes you happy, and are not problematic, like dependable, reliable automobiles, it's a win, and the plus is so options out there.
@@tshoob So many different choices available subject to numerous factors, and what the player wants and needs. I love the Nords, like those nice upscale vehicles, but other brands have their own perks, music is not my main craft or vocation, not s professional gigging musician, composer, though very music into music from when I was very young. My present more affordable keyboards and gear like my Roland Go:Keys, JD-Xi, and my Casiotone CT-S1 and simply, but versatile Yamaha PSS-A50 suit me fine for what I need and have time for. I have had expensive keyboards in the past, but presently don't need, or have time to make use of upper tier keyboards, done with 76 or 88 weighted keys, but when I do, Roland has exactly what I would want for less than the top of the line flagships costs and extra size and bulk with the RD 88, Fantom 06/07 and V-Combo VR-09B. With all the options at different price levels, we can't lose if it suits our purposes and makes us happy.
I've been using a Casio PX-5s now for the last four years or so. I find it a beautiful keyboard. It contains many usable sounds, a sequencer and tons of other useful things.
I can also operate it with power supply or batteries. It's light and so easy to transport. Who needs a red coloured keyboard when you can have a white Casio for a fraction of the price. Great review.
Hows the acoustic sound? Need something that sounds like a baby grand.
@@crazywisdom2 The acoustic sound on the PX5-S is the same as you hear in the beginning of this video but the PX-S7000 also has some other piano samples which I more like. You will not find any digital piano on the market that will come as close as the sound generated from a real grand by its vibrating strings.
I would recommend you using a very good midi controller or digital piano and using the best available piano VST's there are to get as close as you can.
Excellent review. I bought my first digital piano following your advice 2 years ago and i havent regret it.
Thank you for your videos
Greetings from Chile
Can watch you play all day Jeremy. I really enjoy listening and seeing you play on these videos. Love your reviews and insights. Stay safe and blessings.
Copy that.
Casio in recent years have been killing it. I like this keyboard. I agree the pivot point is my biggest gripe, but that's the result of the narrow compact design. I have a Casio GP-400 when it was released, and its excellent.
Indeed. I have the pxs3000. Chose that model over the competition for the excellent features and overall sound. The pivot point is bothersome but is only a minor issue for me really. But sadly over time the key bed is becoming loose and making more noise - nasty clicking sounds if you hit the black keys to the side even slightly. They don't do that when they are new. I'm curious if the current models will maintain the key bed quality over time. If so I just may have to upgrade!
The watch and calculator business are long gone, maybe that gave them more time or resources, this review is eye-opening. I had a Casio long ago, it was nothing like this.
CASIO keys just keep getting better. 👌 Thanks,
I don't know what sounds more magical, the piano, or this dudes voice!
Thanks for the kickass review.
Casio Bluetooth dongle is version 5.0. Ver 5.2 is already out on the market. Of course like any other tech, there will constantly be new iterations. I speculate this is Casio's strategy to allow piano owners to upgrade the Bluetooth version just by buying a new dongle and not a new piano. Newer versions improve power consumption, range and data transfer speed.
As a reference, Roland FP-30X only has Bluetooth audio Ver 3.0 and MIDI Ver 4.0. Maybe that is part of the reason some users are struggling with pairing problem?
I love what they have done. I like recommending Casio to people especially students. I think the action to value gives you something to work with and grow with. But I was not happy with how the action responded. I was not able to get lost in "playing the piano." I would really need to sit again in front of this and or play it in a working environment. I am willing to give it a second chance for sure. Maybe it was the color, Mustard might play better than black.
My daughter's had a PX-310 for years now. I'm no keyboardist, but I'm still impressed with the action of that thing. Sounds are a bit lackluster compared to what's out there nowadays, but it's still a pretty solid choice on the used market.
Hey Jeremy...Glad you found your ideal Keyboard. Casio really upped the game, and lot of nice touches there, way better keyboard, Light, Portable, and a higher quality Piano patch. That's all great, but it comes with a hefty price tag as well. Anyway, enjoy the new board, you rock!
Yesterday I had an opportunity to try it while choosing appropriate instrument for my daughter, quite an outstanding experience! It is a special appearance on the market, reminding me of many modern car colours as well as of the design of the best furniture architects from the seventies. We used to see such sofas and tables in era of bauhaus, concept of modern living in flats with geometrical lines and new functionality of the epoque. Wooden keys and attractive outstandness make this model special indeed! Sounds of course follow Casio's fight for offering the most modern concepts on strongly competitive segment of musical instruments market.
Ahh, Merry-go-round of Life, a fantastic song to start a video on and one I really wanna learn once I get a piano. Good taste Jeremy!
You can do it!
@@JeremySee Thanks for the encouragement dude :D
I have the PX-S 7000 in black and I love playing on it the piano sound and action is very nice.
My ex wife has just taken my Casio PX880 piano as part of her "share" of the house content. Taking it away from me and my kids and put it in a shipping container. Time to start saving again to buy another piano. Maybe thus would be a good upgrade. Thanks for the review
Just wanted to let you know that you've been my greatest help regarding getting a piano.
Your videos are always 🔥
Greetings from India
❤️
That is a wonderful DP. Your review is incredibly comprehensive. Outstanding.
Sounds nice I gotta say that I really love my Yamaha P-125, I watched a lot of your videos and others to decide on the Yamaha. I know I'll be back someday when it's time for another piano, awesome videos and information.
Looks beautiful and sleek
Can't wait for your review of this. I was falling in love at first sight with it. It's a statement, it's the kind of appearance pianos have to be nower days😉😎👍👍👍also the massiv wood, modern and timless at the same time. I like the brand, Greetings from Germany Jeremy 😊
If only we could get Casio to have an even bigger color finish selection!
But Harmonious Mustard is awesome!
Thanks for the review Jeremy! Pretty cool and versatile piano, but . . . affordable? Not really; you can buy a Yamaha DGX-670 for studio production, a P125 or PXS1100 to gig with, and have over $1000 left over (and no audio interface in the USB port - I don't understand why Casio STILL hasn't started including that).
Agreed, I would just spend half the price of this and get a Roland RD 88 that can do all of that except battery power.
@@jjacob25101 lol, have you played that thing? Roland is like driving a truck in a tight space, this machine is a Ferrari - a mustard yellow Ferrari !
This keyboard has an interesting design. I have never seen a keyboard with these many features.
You are ignoring the $850 Yamaha DGX-670 - has way more features.
That's what Casio does, they have the worst key action with the best features for the money. Don't fall for it
@@cosmic_gate476 Well I'm glad I fell for it with Casio because the action feels really good, which combined with the features and form factor makes the digital piano really appealing.
My dream piano also
I use the Casio CT-S300 to practice and learn new songs. I use the Casio Privia PX-560 for playing. It's easier to move around and use the CT-S300.
I would get this just for the unusual designed & look...This should look cool on stage.
OMG ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
I did see quite every single digital piano reviews in the past
Excellent video with some great camera work - appreciated
i own a roland fp90 and the sound on this casio is incredible ! i bought my roland way before the release but if it would have been on the market i would totally buy it instead :P
Sounds as beautiful as it looks 💗
Hiya Jeremy, I’m shocked you reviewed the piano so highly. I work as a professional pianist and got this the day they came out. Since then have returned it as it’s so lengthy to access any of the functions for a live gig. I know they don’t want to ruin the design but putting a touch screen so it would have been great if they had a dedicated app for this piano so a musician working on stage could access the functions it allows much more quickly than the lengthy way they have you pressing all the touch buttons. Works nicely as a piano for rehearsing choirs but doesn’t actually get as loud of my Kawai ES8 and it’s meant to have a much more powerful speaker system. I wonders if you have any thoughts on these 2 things? Enjoyed your video as always.
Hey Angelo, we need to look at the PX-S for its intended market. This was never intended or marketed as a pro-level gigging board. A Nord or CP is marketed as such. Instead it is a beautifully designed home digital piano with high quality piano samples, an improved key action and is easily removed from the stand for an occasional performance. Think of it more as a more versatile Yammie CLP.
I would get a Roland RD-88 stage piano for half the price.
You can use a iPad or other tablet on the music rack to access features more quickly!
at $2500, this is a very expensive piano, and needs to be compared with similarly priced units like yamaha P515, roland rs2000, kawai ES920, etc.
Sound and longevity wise also the CLP 745
I stick to my used euro made all solid wood studio used around 5k…30 plus yer old😢…y my newer Korg
💯 Agree I just can't get over the price!!!! Way too much for these times, especially!
Yeah I could never afford it..
$2500 for a modern keyboard is reasonable😂
Now try going on reverb to find a vintage EPiano without crying when you see the price and availability of Wurli’s and Rolands.
I like the design of this piano very much!
Would love to see a comparison video between this and the Yamaha DGX 670
This review is so well done! 🎉 Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I’d probably buy this to replace my Casio Privia. Love the color.
When you are more into electric and rhodes sounds checkout the Crumar seventeen for 1000 less. Its blue and it has piano samples too.
Excuse me Christian I would like to ask you a question I am looking for a keyboard with mostly Rhodes sounds and that has interaction with usb to my Daw
Do you think that the Crumar that you quote would be a good choice?
I have a pxs3100 and I'm crazy about the psx7000, in a mix of vintage and modern is so... such pretty...
ITS SO PRETTY
Hey, I would be happy just to have my old $100 1990 Casio back. Miss having a keyboard. Thanks for your reviews. Am saving up.
The moonlight sonata at 10:00 did not sound good- was it a limitation of the action or a limitation of the player?
player. I'm not a concert pianist.
Great review. I always hear people praising a Nord keyboard but the prices are so high
..a used one here in Canada was $5k.
This one sounds like something ill look for in the used keyboard space.
Love your stuff, Jeremy. (FYI: It's pronounced "flan-jer". A reference to the effect created back in the analog days when the engineer would place his hand on the rim (i.e. flange) of a reel to reel tape in order to change the pitch of the recorded sound.)
You lost me right away. You can’t call a $2500 digital piano affordable. There’s gotta be a law against that
100% my first thought
Lol how little do you want to play? Lmao. Go buy a baby keyboard from Casio cheapskate bum
just imagining you could buy a yamaha cp73 for not much more too
I stopped the video when I hit the link and saw the price.
It’s cheaper than any custom shop fender or gibson….
I have so been waiting to see what your opinion of this beautiful instrument would be
Casio surprises by always upping their game. I want this in red, please casio if you read this.
The action still is hampered by a very short pivot point. This will affect more delicate and complex playing. Be aware of that.
Thanks for the review!
If you don’t mind, please put the name of the keyboards in your comment or in the title.
It will make it far easier for your viewers to actually understand what your video is about.
Thanks so much!
Wow what a bold color choice I love it
Although I'm not feeling the color, I like that they went with a unique tone to stand out in the market. Everything is either black or gray.
I wish there were a couple of other colours outside of black and white, also. A dark mystic blue or something. The PX-S1000 in red looked quite nice.
I really like that we get to hear so much playing in between talking points.
If one wanted a longer keystick, is there anything up the range that could provide that?
Best to buy a Kawai VPC-1 and Pianoteq 7 and a decent pair of Active monitors.
Hi!! I like your piano its so nice.... I also have a dream piano or synthesizer to be exact but unfortunately I cant afford to buy it. I got in-loved with pianos since the day my Mother give Casio LK-60 yes it is cheap but I am thankful to have one and I still use it because its the only piano that I have LOL.... maybe someday or someone will give me a brand new piano I hope so.. God will provide
i'm very impressed with the design of this digital piano - so aesthetically pleasing as you have pointed out BUT i'm biased against Casio keyboards in general. have always found the piano samples to be lacking. Listening to this one didn't change my mind unfortunately.
Incredible digital piano for the professional players like you that are trained, experienced and accustomed to traditional acoustic grand pianos, key action and all the nuances in sound, feel and such, with all the conveniences, benefits and advantages of a compact portable professional digital piano with all the expected feature and connectivity, but also special innovative features to tailor ever nuance to your personal preferences.
For those musicians at that level, and have the resources, this is probably one of the best 88 key portable digital pianos. Especially for those well accustomed to traditional pianos and the advantages of the modern technology. It makes it so easy to transport all these various keyboard and instruments by oneself, than just a vintage Fender Rhodes electric piano and amplifier. Or, can you imagine a Hammond B3 organ or acoustic upright or grand piano, in a compact/midsized car or SUV? Much less break your back and such.
However, it is quite pricey, but well worth it for a professional gigging musician, or if you want one of the best if you are only going to have one, or a few keyboards. The flagship Roland RD2000 professional stage piano and the Fantom-08 with the flagship keyboard action is about the same price, but the RD2000 and much more expensive Fantom 8 are much heavier, bigger and bulky to tote around.
Yamaha probably had models much more expensive, like their top tier workstation keyboards, but we are talking about the $2500 USD range.
If I was wealthy, had a place for them and was a very gifted professional player/composer, I would get this, along with a custom made, special order new Fender Rhodes electric piano, and many other instruments.
But for me, I would get the Roland RD-88 at half the price, with it's own incredible features and access to a huge amount of sound tones.
But although the PX-S7000 about the same size as the RD-88, and both have built in speakers, the PX-S7000 has battery capability. And that's a plus, with all the specific variable settings for the playability features.
We've come a long way over about 50 years of electronic keyboard, digital piano and musical instrument and sound reinforcement technology. And so much choices, with many more affordable options.
Even my Roland Go:Keys, and the soon to acquire Casio CT-S1 are Incredible for their price and purpose. And my Roland CD-2 CD/CF professional recorder I have had for years is almost like a full professional recording studio.
Thank you. 😄
incredible review dude, all i needed to know!!!
9:56 I love the 3rd movement
Wow, this is a beautiful machine, Jeremy, thanks for taking it through the paces! Have you tested or do you plan to test the Arturia KeyLab 61?
It seems like most of the reviews lean heavily into the design (it is stunning, for sure) - but it never wins on sound and feel. $2500 is top tier-ish, so I would never spend the money when better instruments are available for the price.
Give it 12 months and you'll find these on sale at vastly cheaper prices.
Great video! If I manage to catch a cash windfall somewhere's...
I always get a kick out of catching snippets of songs we play in church in your demos.
I *do* have a problem with attaching the term "affordable" to a $2,000+ keyboard. Once you're into four digits you're solidly into "High end", especially given your description of the technical and aesthetic excellence of the instrument.
Have you looked at Studiologic's NumaXPiano? We recently purchased one for our church and the keyboardist who plays it is enthralled with it. Given Studiologic is the "retail" front end for Fatar, you're getting a truly top of the line keybed. And for a bit more money, the NumaXPianoGT includes real wood keys much like the PX-S7000.
That guitar lick you played in the "things I wish were better" section, was that "You Won't Relent"? I haven't heard that in quite a while.
Sounds like a good keyboard. I still prefer the Casio Privia PX-560. Hopefully they will update it for next year's NAMM. Can always hope!
Beautiful piano and Casio have come a long way. Not for live use though. A damp sweaty gig will cause chaos with those capacitive buttons. But for home practise. A great keyboard.
Thank you Sir! I have been waiting for this review. :)
Very unique color. And the buttons are very rare.
Great review, Jeremy. But this is not the piano/keyboard of MY dreams, simply because I am not a performer. I am strictly a songwriter. So I want an arranger keyboard which has a great selection of sounds and styles to select from in various MODERN genres, especially Pop, Country, and Hip Hop/Dance. I would use a keyboard only in the studio to develop arrangements for my songs. So which keyboards have the best selection of such arrangements and that can import MIDI for melodies from my computer (which I have constructed from doing notation)? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
If you don't need the weighted hammer action 88 keys, the 76 key Yamaha PSR-EW425 would be perfect for you at ⅕ the price of this one. Check the review videos from Jeremy snd others. I would get that, and might in the future. And I am very selective. The Yamaha has good USB compatibility over other keyboards with just a Micro USB jack.
$2500?
I think I'll stick with the Yamaha DGX670
This thing is 25% more expensive than a Roland FP-90x. Is it really better than one? Just looking at how narrow it is front to back, I can't see how the key action could be comparable.
Heya! Jeremy! Great to see u here!
:)
What about the ca 49
The Kurzweil PC88 is a great weighted key 88 key piano with the best piano and strings combo ever. BUT, it weighs a ton! So portability is a one star rating!
Yeah no you lost me when you call a 2500$ piano affordable. I understand that it is RELATIVELY affordable cuz pianos cost a whole lot, but for most people, 2500$ is just 4x the budget.
I feel like there's no point in offering a pitch wheel without a mod wheel alongside it. There's plenty of space for both as well.
I agree with you regarding the ridiculous lack of modulation wheel. Why Casio also didn't include a couple of real-time control knobs or sliders is also questionable because the lower speced PXS6000 has them. I sold my PXS3000 because of its glaring lack of modulation wheel as well as its terrible user interface and bought a Roland RD88 and haven't looked back. Over AUD$4000 for this instrument is truly ridiculous in these tough economic times. Sorry but I'll pass this time and check out the when it's released in a couple of years at a lower price point and includes both pitch bend and modulation wheels.
Yellow Pages comes to mind, would love a portable piano such as this but with the Bechstein action, and better samples. It sounds okay though. However I am not swayed and will buy a Roland G8 instead, older but more substantial although much heaver to carry.
Lol the Roland g8 and this are not substitutionary goods in almost any sense. They serve completely different purposes and markets.
Memory of Fanelia, from the Escaflowne soundtrack? Have not seen Escaflowne series, but came across the music from it years ago on youtube and fell in love with the Fanelia tune, which I think your intro is some variation of. And me, being a Norwegian, recognizing that tune in your video, having never seen any anime, is quite surprising even to me.
I hope someone (Jeremy See) can confirm if it is the same tune tune, or inspired by it.
Thank you, sir. i am going to audition one today. Have a great day.
At 5:39 can someone tell me the name of the song he’s playing, I’ve used Siri, Bixby many websites and it’s driving me crazy cuz it sounds so good and I want to play it but can’t find it, any help appreciated, thanks in advance :)
Great video as always Jeremy, I finally got a keyboard after 10+ years of not playing and I'm really excited to start playing again. Do you have the sheet music for the song you play at the intro of your video?
It looks like a nice piano to play. Since my main purpose is composition, not performance, I am not looking for a piano to perform. At it's price, I could find a boring black box with more features for less money. Function over form.
Nonetheless, it's win for Casio if they can sell these at the asking price.
Thank you for your videos there are always good!
That's a good looking piano I like the mustard color
Awesome. Thank you Jeremy
It looks wonderful Jeremy and great video as always. I didn't understand about what you were referring when you talked about the lack of an audio interface in the piano though. What it is used for?
It allows you to plug your keyboard to your PC with a USB cable and have the keyboard act as a speaker or allow you to record the clean sound of the piano directly to your PC
I like so much I really like the music played at the beginning and I see a lot in your videos and I would like to know the name of this wonderful work🥺
Merry Go Round of Life (Howl’s moving castle)
It sounded very nice indeed Jeremy, but then I checked the price online. It costs as much as a CP or YC stage piano. I mean, no comparison.
Agree with you 100%. I'd much sooner spend the same money on a Yamaha YC73 or YC88.. They may not be as compact and lightweight as the Casio as well as lacking battery power, but they leave the Casio in the dust in every other respect.
got my back order in 8-10 weeks...... just had to have the yellow.... black ones are available locally.
I know, it is not really comparable price wise. But how does the Roland FP-30X stand against this one regarding key action and sound clarity?
It has also 264 polyphony and a good weighted key action. So in what exactly is the pxs-7000 better performing?
question nr 2: If I plug the FP-30X to a audio-software where I can play the most qualitative HR sounds, would you still say that there is a difference between those two?
FP-30X is no way in the league....In fact the whole FP series right up to Fp90 is disappointing in terms of sound and key action.
@@fletcherkhoo4389 many say the exact opposite. especially if you compare FP30X with the casio pxs1000/1100 or even with pxs5000. But I agree on the sound, it sounds synthetic somehow.
They should put the Kamatsu piano on it, so it can be used as a forklift.
Great sounds as always, but come on Casio, where is the 16 track recorder?
Excellent review, as always!
