Topic: Casio PX-S5000 and Pianoteq

PX-S5000 - light touch 2 (L2)
PTQ: Steingraeber Recording 2 preset
Adjustments to default:
Key Release: (-4) no humanize
Reverb: default medium hall
Dynamics: 30
Note On velocity: 0/0, 105/85, 127/127
Note Off velocity: 0/10, 105/127
Output: binaural
PTQ Options:
(Hi resolution midi)
Sample Rate: 44100Hz
Host Sample Rate: 44100Hz
Buffer: 512
Max Polyphony: 256
Audient USB Audio Interface: max volume (before clipping)
Arcam A19 Amp: 49
Behringer C210: Instrument IN - 9 o'clock
                              Master - 9 o'clock

I have posted all my current setup settings. The feeling of playing Pianoteq via the PX-S5000 using the above settings has been one of the most (if not, the most) pleasurable piano playing experience I've  had to date, even surpassing my young adult experience of playing a Fazioli in a London showroom in the UK. That's not to say the PX-S5000 could not be improved somewhat in terms of key length and key release noises and maybe the addition of an escapement simulation. However, that said, I stand by my statement.

May I encourage anyone with a Casio PX-S5000, 6000,7000 and who uses one of these to control Pianoteq to maybe try the above Pianoteq related settings. If anyone would prefer I post the .fxp (which I intend to do soon anyway) do let me know. And if any should try these settings, please let me know your experience.

To confirm, I'm playing Pianoteq via an Audient USB audio interface through an Arcam A19 powering a stereo pair of Kef LS50 speakers. At the same time I'm using a Behringer line array speaker (C210).

If anyone's interested, I would be happy to record a short video with my phone (Mi Xiaomi 13T) as well as recording the audio directly in my vst host (actually called VST HOST - freeware, but very good) for comparison.

I hope I haven't waffled too much. Wishing all of you a very happy Autumn.

Warmest regards,

Chris

Thank you Kramster1. Remember, Light Touch (L2) on your 7000. Let me know how you get on.

You are very kind to consider letting them keep your Casio boards.

I think Casio are going in a good direction.

Enjoy the Steingraeber,

Warmest regards,

Chris

Here's what I ended up with. Radical departure from above settings, the .fxp is based the Bechstein Sweet preset.

I really like the Bechstein's evenness thought the whole register.

Warmest regards,
