Holy crap! I've got the most rare unicorn of Casio keyboards then. Mine has these things (there's like 300 of them) that arranger players would call styles..., but wait.., it gets better! Each one has dedicated buttons called intros, endings, fills, variations, ect. There is even a single button that turns on this crazy feature called Auto Accomp. Man did I get lucky.., I got me a keyboard that's not an arranger, but someone at Casio messed up and sent me one. It's gonna be worth a fortune in a few years I guess.

Let me make this easier for you Bachus. Pull up a pic of the MZX500. Place your finger over the pads "so you can't see them".., and VOILA! It's like magic..., because you will be looking at a typical arranger keyboard. All Casio did is take a traditional arranger, add a sampler with pads, their HEX system, some new EDM kits and a few styles to go with them. It's really not that complicated.

Spalding..., the issues have been fixed. A firmware update is coming next month. Mike Martin confirmed this.., and stated that the boards at the show all had the beta version of that firmware installed.
