I think this video shows it pretty much..

what am I missing? .....all I see are repetitive piano players sure when you just play the piano it's decent it's
EVERYTHING else that falls short with Casio KBs,... IMO..
they really need to up their game at this point to compete
with the big boys.

Maybe you have it all wrong

Maybe the "big boys" can't compete with Casio.. price point/value.

I would not be surprised if Casio out sells the big boys combined, here in the USA... in the same market price range.

Where it comes to Piano's, and all their needed sounds (Acoustic, electric, clavinet, strings, organ, drums, synth pads) Casio is doing a great job.. at a very attractive price..

Not that they ahve any product in the range of Kawai or Roland. But they offer quite a lot of vallue at their price ranges..

I just don't understand why they keep adding the some what lower level arranger styles?

The PX5-s had am incredible arpeggiator on board. but it never returned in any other Casio products after that.

I've been noticing that for a couple of years now. How can you judge an arranger keyboard when they all play piano sounds and they all sound like pianists playing a piano, a lot of times with not even a rhythm running.

What's the reason they do this since the beauty of an arranger is the different instrument sounds you have to work with?

I cant agree with you for many reasons but respect your opinion
...but honestly I would never purchase a casio KB product.
Imo they have very a long way to go.

So when was the last time you played a Casio stage piano.l?

There is a huge difference between the needs and qualities of a stagepiano and an arranger..

Maybe your opinion is based on judging them as an arranger?
Where it actually is a stagepiano?
They are not the best, but they ain’t bad either

There is not many quallity stage piano’s you can buy for €800, espescially ifyou want a new one...

If one would ask me what stage piano to buy for his €800, i would advice him to save€200 more and buy a used yamaha cp4 or roland Rd800... but if they insisted on buying a new one, there is not much competition for the Casio’s. Maybe a Roalnd fp30? Buti doubt soundwise it will be a better stagepiano,

If I was just in the market for a digital piano I would certainly consider a NORD, Kurzweil, Kawai, or Roland..
