QUICK START GUIDE

INDEX

Congratulations & Thank You for your purchase of the CASIO Privia PX-5S.

This Quick Start Guide is designed to help you get up and running doing the most

common tasks with the keyboard. A Quick Start Guide should not be looked at as a

replacement for the documentation that came with your instrument, so please also

check out both User’s Guides (Basic and Tutorial). At the end of this guide we also

list links to many helpful online resources.

Starting on the left you have the Pitch Bend (Bender)

and the Mod (Modulation) Wheels, followed by the

Knob and Slider Controller section. Basically, these

are used to adjust sound and effects characteristics.

Crossing past the display we come to the section

labeled Stage Settings: these are the main sound

objects you’ll be selecting and playing. There are

ten numbered switches along with a Bank Button.

Ten banks of 10 “sounds” each means you have

100 Stage Settings to play and enjoy.

The next section of buttons is a rather crowded

area, with some controls that will be more important

to you than others, depending on what you’re

doing. When ﬁrst starting out playing the PX-5S we

suggest you ignore this section completely. We’ll

come back to it when needed.

Next up is the Power On/Off Switch; you hold it for

a few moments to power on/off. The Volume Knob

is self-explanatory.

The other buttons all aid you in navigating through the deeper editing

modes and functions of the PX-5S, and for loading, saving and writing new

sounds and edits into memory and/or to a USB thumb drive.

QUICK TOUR

of the front panel

SELECTING SOUNDS

Let’s get started right away selecting and playing the

wonderful sounds in the PX-5S. Looking at the front

panel to the left of the display you see a row of buttons

labeled Tone, with the familiar names of the types of

sounds you want to play, but these aren’t the “sound

objects” that you want to use right now.

FOLLOW ALONG:

• Go to the Stage Setting buttons and press 0. This

is a wonderful acoustic piano sound - play and

enjoy.

TIP:

The PX-5S offers settings to match the response of the keyboard and sound to your touch. To try these variations press

the Sys. Setting button, then press the 8/> button in the Stage Setting area to move to the second page of parameters.

You’ll be at GENERAL; press the ENTER button to select it. Press 8/> to go to the second page of parameters, and then

press 6/v to move down to Touch.

Use the - / NO and + / YES buttons on the right side of

the panel to change it from Normal.

If you have a soft touch using Light will make it easier to

reach the full dynamic range, meaning it will be easier

to get louder.

If you play more forcefully, using Heavy will give you

more range of expression before you reach the louder

levels. Press EXIT two times when you’ve made your

ﬁnal selection.

To choose another group of Stage Settings press the Bank button to the right of the display. It lights up, waiting for you to

press a button from the 0-9 choices. Choose a number (try 1for now) and the display ﬂashes, indicating you’ve chosen

the new Bank. Now you must select which location (0-9) within that new Bank you want. Press another number button

(select 0for now) and the new Stage Setting (1-0) is selected, the display stops blinking, and the Bank button light turns off.

Go through the ten sounds in this bank (and the other Banks 2 through 9) at your leisure. When you are ﬁnished please

reselect Bank 0, location 0.

STAGE SETTING (Press 1, 2, 3, etc.) DESCRIPTION

0-1 AiR E.Piano1 Classic “tine” electric piano

0-2 60’s Reed EP Funky “reed” electric piano

0-3 Illuminated Piano blended with some synth / bell sounds

0-4 Auto-Wah Clav Play harder / softer to change amount of Wah

0-5 OrchGlck Timp Dynamic orchestral blend

Play hard to add tympani to the low range

0-6 DistortedOrg Distorted rock organ sound

0-7 IceCastles Rich sound blending various synth elements together

0-8 Rainy Dayz Lush synth sound with a moving element within produced by the

arpeggiator (notice the Arpeggiator button on the left is lit).

0-9 You Two?

An example of the complex type of performance that the PX-5S is

capable of. Hold a low note and a drumbeat starts playing (produced by

the Phrase Player). While holding the low note press another higher in

time with the drums and you’ll ad some guitars that are picking a nice

pattern (produced by the Arpeggiator).

CHANGING BANKS

TIP:

The Stage Settings in the PX-5S have been arranged so that each numbered

location is usually the same type of sound in each Bank, in the following way:

LOCATION TYPE OF SOUND

0 Acoustic piano-based

1 Tine electric piano-based

2 Reed electric piano-based

3 Synth sound (leads, pads, etc.)

4 Clav sound

LOCATION TYPE OF SOUND

5 Orchestral Sound

6 Organ-based

7 Hex Layer synths

8 Arpeggiated sound

9Sound with moving parts/groove

Using Stage Setting 0-0 Concert Grand, let’s explore how you can use the knobs and sliders to modify sounds.

These controls are completely programmable, meaning each one can be connected to any available parameter you want/

need. They are already conﬁgured for each of the supplied sounds to do meaningful things right away. Here’s what they

do for the Concert Grand piano:

MODIFY SOUND

using the controllers to modify the sound

As is the case for many of the Stage Settings, these are set to control the EQ effect, or the tonal

characteristic of the piano. Knob 1 increases and decreases the level of bass frequencies - try it while

play low notes. Knob 2 controls the level of the middle frequencies, try it while playing just below and

above Middle C. Knob 3 select the range of the middle frequencies, so it works in conjunction with

Knob 2. Knob 4 controls the level of the higher frequencies.

KNOBS

NOTE:

Notice that when you move a controller, info pops up

in the display telling you what it is changing. You may

notice that the second line of text is always saying No

Assign. This is because a knob/slider/wheel/pedal can

actually control two things at the same time if desired.

So far we haven’t encountered that. But we will!

Slider 1 controls Filter Cutoff, which is another way to make a sound darker or brighter, using

the synthesis engine rather than the effects engine (EQ). Slider 2 is controlling Filter Resonance,

which is a part of the ﬁlter tonality. You won’t hear much change from it; it is more prominent on

synth sounds. Slider 3 controls the attack of the sound; as you move it up slightly the sound takes

longer to start.

The next three sliders are almost always controlling the same functions in all the Stage Settings:

• Slider 4 controls the amount of Chorus effect; bring it up to add a swirling, slightly detuned

coloration to the sound.

• Slider 5 controls the amount of Delay; bringing it up adds discrete repetitions of the notes

you play. Used very subtly it adds some spaciousness to your sound, adding more produces

stronger echoes.

• Slider 6 controls the depth of the Reverb effect, which simulates playing a sound in a physical

space, be it a room, hall, large hall, canyon and such.

We suggest you go back through the Bank 0 Stage Settings again and explore how the controls

are set up for each sound.

SLIDERS

PEDAL CONTROL

some cool pedal control applications

So far, your damper/sustain pedal (which should be connected to the Pedal 1 input) has been producing sustain, to help

notes to ring over after you release the keys, and to connect together smoothly. But the pedals are assignable and can do

other things. Here’s a few cool Stage Settings to explore:

DistortedOrg The pedal switches the rotary speaker from spinning slow to fast. It acts as a toggle -

press it once and release it and the spinning goes faster. Press it again when you want the

spinning to slow back down.

STAGE

SETTING 0-6

Clav / PedWah1 The clav is being run through a wah-wah effect, which is a ﬁlter you open and close

manually. The pedal is doing this: hold a chord and slowly depress and then release

the pedal – you’re in control! Now play rhythmically and work the pedal in time with your

playing, or to accent notes as you like.

STAGE

SETTING 1-4

Now you’re ready to understand why we didn’t select from the Tones when ﬁrst picking a sound. It is certainly possible

to do that, but the Stage Settings add extra elements to each sound that are important. All the controller settings you

experienced are created and saved within a Stage Setting. The Chorus, Delay and Reverb effects are set up within it as

well. So the best experience is had when you start with a Stage Setting that was designed for the type of sound you want

to play.

STAGE SETTING vs. TONE

understanding astage setting versus atone

Once you’ve selected a Stage Setting for the type of instrument you want to play, it’s easy to try out other Tones.

SELECTING OTHER TONES

TIP:

Suggested Stage Settings to use for exploring each type of Tone:

TONE SUGGESTED STAGE SETTING

Acoustic piano, acoustic string / winds / brass 0-0 Concert Grand

Electric pianos 0-1 AiR E.Piano1

Organs 0-6 DistortedOrg

Clav 0-4 AutoWahClav1

Electric guitar 0-0 Concert Grand

Synth / Hex Layers 3-7 EpicHexSynth

• Select Stage Setting 0-0 Concert Grand again. The bottom half of the display shows TONE PNO : P : 00

GrPnoConcert. The PIANO button is lit in the row of buttons to the left of the display.

• To try other piano sounds use the + / YES button on the far right of the panel to advance through the choices. Use

the - / NO to move backwards through the list, and press them both at the same time to return to the original Tone.

• You don’t have to stay within the PIANO Tone group; you can select any of the other categories and scroll through

them. But unlike when we tried out the Stage Settings earlier, the controllers may not be assigned to the types of

parameters you want control over. So you can have limited success selecting your sound from the Tone section if

you start from the right Stage Setting.

Many of the sounds you will be using are called Tones - they are the basic type of sound in the PX-5S. But the most

powerful engine in this instrument is called a Hex Layer. Like the name implies, a Hex Layer is made up of six sound

elements. Each of these elements is a complete synth “voice” unto itself, and can be programmed to create massive synth

blends, layered or splits sounds and so much more.

To explore the different types of sound made using this powerful engine, select Stage Setting 3-7 EpicHexSynth. Sliders

1 - 6 control the level of each of the Hex Layers so you can isolate them and explore the sound. Each layer has a different

waveform, ﬁlter setting and much more.

To go further exploring the onboard Hex Layer sounds, press both the -/NO and +/ YES buttons on the far right of the

front panel at the same time. This will bring you back to the ﬁrst Hex Layer sound, as you can see in the lower half of the

display (P : 000 PX HexTone00). Try it out and from here use the +/ YES button to scroll through the many Hex Layer

sound available. The name will not always tell you a lot, but you’ll hear an incredibly wide variety of sounds made using

this powerful engine.

A Stage Setting is more than just a Tone/Hex Layer with well-chosen controller assignments and effects settings. It can be

used to combine up to four Tones in various ways; layered on top of each other, split so they appear side by side across

chosen key ranges and more. Each Tone used is placed into a Zone.

When you call up any Stage Setting the bottom right of the display shows Z1 : ON, meaning you are listening to a Tone

assigned to Zone 1. To see what is assigned to Zone 2 you use the button on the bottom row to the left of the display

labeled Zone/Part/Step/Track +.
