Check this out => Casio Privia July NAMM 2012

I had a px 330 for over a year...just didn't like the difference in decay between the middle C and second octave...traded for a Yamaha mox8...much happier....stevec

Sounds like Casio has addressed the short delay problem. I wonder if the rhytms are flexible enough to be used as a pro preformance arranger? If anyone demos one of these please post your impressions.

Bill I doubt it, ....if you need a Piano with great arranger functions and styles take a look at the KORG 588

KORG 588

I briefly looked at the 588 a while ago. I believe its the same as your 500. Big problem is its 67 lbs. I'm getting tired of schelping my 35lb G1000, with hard case 50LBs. Maybe a 500 for gigs and pa588 for home practice. Still like to get more info on the 25 Lb privia. I've been kicking the idea around for a BK7M tied to a PX3. Just sold one of my G1000's so I'm getting closer . Thanks for the info, very nice board

There's no need for a module if you buy a 3x - it'd be such a redundancy, even if you just wanted a few more sounds and styles. the 3x has it all built in.

I think your confusing the Korg 3x with the Casio Privia Px3 piano. It would be the BK7m module for an arranger and the Casio for a good keyboard and maybe the piano sounds, which is what I find myself mainly using lately.
I'm with Fran, I can't afford a Korg 3X.
Wish I could just line them all up and spend a day playing around with them.

Wait a minute! ! If Fran brings his BK5, you bring the P3X pro and Donny brings the Pa500 we could have a shootout. Anyone want to jump in with a Yamaha?
I'll buy the beer and pizza. Maybe sell the results to Keyboard Mag and all go out to dinner with the proceeds. A plan so crazy "it just might work"

Haha - yup, I misread the model number. I thought you were leaning Korgish.

The new Privia PX150 will street at $599 and the PX350 will street at $799. Both will have the new ivory/ebony keybed but the PX350 will also record audio on a SD card. The new Yamaha P-105 will also street at $599 and will also have 128 note polyphony.

Why won't these guys ever release these in a 76 note version..88's are just too long for carting to gigs!! Yammie or Casio...

I agree its a long one. They do have a 76 key arranger the WK-7500 which is light enough but the key feel is nowhere near the Privia. The only good part is the weight of two Privias will roughly be the weight of say a Roland G-70

I agree, 61 just doesn't feel right and 88 is too much. I like 76. Still like the weight and at least I've gotten to play the Privia's. Nice boards.

Looked at the Casio site and the 150 doesn't have MIDI so that ones out. the 350 looks OK but I don't really want all the extras on it. What happened to the PX3 ?? Why didn't they put the new sound chip and keyboard in that ???

Just looked at the Yamaha P 105 and can't believe it. NO MIDI !!! What are they thinking ????
