Another video in German....




Ralph maten explains again how this is not a typicall arranger keyboard for entertainer (omb)

Its a workstation with added arranger functionallity, its probably the first hardware that tries to catch the essence of ableton live... And the arranger part is only part of that...

And when you take that into account you will understand why Casio did not invest in better accoustic (woods, winds, brass etc) sounds but made sure that the typicall key (organ, dp, piano) and synth sounds are top knotch..

Their campaign indeed is not centered around us typicall arranger players, but around the younger EDM crowd...

Its good to have a different type of arranger, and i hope future instruments combine their current high end styles with the features that make the MZ-x500 shine... Having those 16 programmable pads and a touchscreen seems a huge step ...

Its funny to see how Ketron, tries to add the same type of features in tehir SD9pro, but witouth the pads you need to use the touchscreen for selecting things which in the thick of a gig is less ideal...
