High quallity video in English with Ralph Maten showing off much of the functionallity of the MZ-X500... This video clearly explains why it can become a cult item with our younger teenagers... And how an arranger can be an important part for making EDM and other modern dance musick...


However, still not convinced about the typicall arranger quallities most typicall arranger players want... High quallity styles (tough it can import YAmaha styles) and typicall arranger instruments... i still havent heared a single naturall sound (Wood, winds, brass, solo strings, acoustic guitars, etc etc..) that convinces me..


Yet still i believe the functionallity Casio adds to the market with this little keyboard (thats much more a workstation with added arranger functionallity then a typicall arranger) shows where the future is...

If yamaha would have added the same functionallity to the Montage, everyone witotuh exception would go crazy about it... Same goes for Korg, adding this to the Kronos would even put it higher on everyones ladder..


To me, this instrument shows, that arranger styles should be a part of everyones ultimate music workstation...
