I’ve been gigging with the px 3000 for a few months. I love it. It’s a reasonable priced very playable and portable piano. I appreciate the review Jeremy, it helped me make the decision to purchase. I love your videos they’re very informative and real.
You're a great pro! Sincere, knowledgeable. I am very happy to have arrived on this channel. Many thanks for all the tips. Sincerity and candor is what's missing in the world! Thank you for sharing your experiences! Continue please!
Thanks Jeremy ... again your detailed and analytical analysis is exactly what potential buyers need. I’m sure this video answered a lot of questions your viewers had. It answered mine 😀
Thanks Jeremy for following through so swiftly with your promised in-depth review. I’ve just arrived home with my new PX S3000, and I’m like a dog with two tails :) My first impression of the keyboard feel and the acoustic piano sounds is - WOW! Your enthusiasm (tempered with your unbiased criticism of its shortcomings) has helped me hugely! So I’m one happy subscriber :) Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this review-agree with pretty much all ,for a stage piano , this is clearly not designed to be quickly or easily tweaked .The minimalist design of controls is all about less buttons which leads to complex nested menus . My point being I can’t expect the “button or knob” for every function like Nord Stage 3 HA88 on this Casio - I have both like them both very much and for 799 this is really a remarkable keyboard , great sounds ,feel, small ,lightweight love the action ( to me not too light as others have commented , actually very close to my Steinway 1915 O)
I just bought this keyboard 2 months ago and to run across this video, it is a very straight forward to know what to do before buying this product! Great Video!
Excuse me sir, it would be very useful for me to have a more in depth information about the key weight, out of how is the sense of the keys compared with a grandpiano, a real one. Would you mind help me with this point? Thank you :)
Jeremy. Received my PX-S3000 today. Bought it from a great guy in USA but your review is the one that sold it. Thank you. Now all I got to do is learn how to play it.
Example: after your tough critique of the 3000, I said to myself, "If that's the worse of it, I'm buying and I had complete confidence about what I was getting. And you helped with the cable info. What more can a consumer want?
Thanks buddy. If I could trouble you to send an email to 六井雄樹 • mut16057@casio.co.jp letting Casio Japan HQ know how I am helping users round the world make informed choices. They can speak and write English, so no worry there. Thanks again.
This is the first video I’ve found of this channel. I love an _honest_ review. Too many keyboards out there only have videos made by sales representatives who only say the same positive things over and over and make every one look like the best ever By the way, I love the presentation as well and am an excited new subscriber :-)
@@essennagerry The action of the white keys are pretty good and are a big improvement over Casio's previous models in this price point. Yes, the black ones actually are a bit lighter overall. Not a deal breaker for me as I'm a relative novice at piano, but it might be for some.
17:46 Manufacturers don't give much variations in digital pianos because of the fact that they are just hybrid digital pianos not full arranger keyboards. It's not about whether it costs them or not but it's more about business strategies in their production lines. It's like if you want more styles and variations, get a dedicated arranger keyboard for that, not a piano.
Just a thought about DAW connectivity. It would need to have a complete audio interface to be able to provide an audio input to the computer because it would not be able to coexist with other audio interface that is already connected. There can only be one input master due to the sampling clock synchronisation.
13:35: Can't you just use the audio output jack to record the audio? What is the advantage with that other socket? How is it called? I'd like to read up about it. But principally, you could also just record the audio out to the DAW, no?
For gigs I have to keep a set list with Registration numbers. Sound settings must be prepared beforehand. Chordana loses connection and freezes on Android when I switch tasks on my phone. When it does work it would be great if registrations could be named and selected within the app.
The one thing i am still confused about is (because i am noob) that if i dont own a audio interface. Whats the process for me to use it as a midi keyboard
A USB to Host (Type B) port is located at the back of the piano and allows you to connect the PX-S3000 to a computer. No audio interface is required, just software that accepts midi inputs.
The sound around 3:17, compared to the sounds I usually hear coming off the Nord my buddy and keys player uses, throws me back straight to the 386 games era with GM support.
Hello jeremy, thank you for your video. I went to try this piano in a shop and I was very disappointed by the keys which do not fill solid and which sound hollow. In general, casio keyboards have this same problem (cdp s100/350 - px s1000/3000). Now I'm waiting for the release of the Korg xe20 because the yamaha DGX 660 has speakers that are too weak and the Roland FP 60 is too expensive.
Jeremy, I really need your expertise to decide what digital piano would be best for me. Here are my choices and priorities: All are 88 key. Kawai ES920 or CA59 Korg Grandstage or Korg svs, sv2sp. Other information that will help: * I am at a beginner level * I am 67 years old * I am limited to 30-40 minutes practice daily * $ is not an issue My priorities: * Ease of learning how to play the instrument * Sounds, Use Piano & Electric Piano 95% of the time * Probably only play in bedroom because I am handicapped * Keyboard action * Flash Drive, Ability to connect IPad to Apps, if possible have Bluetooth midi and audio. PLUS ANY OTHER MODEL THAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE FOR ME. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SELFISH WITH YOUR TIME, BUT I AM HANDICAPPED TO THE EXTENTI CANNOT LEAVE MY HOME. I SPEND 90% OF MY TIME IN BED. I DESPERATELY NEED AN ACTIVITY TO KEEP MIND ALERT. Thank you, Glenn Allen PS if any readers have an opinion, please don’t hesitate to send them to: Text to 480-254-6838 Email to glennallen165@gmail.com
I'm going to buy it in four days on Thursday. I really like it. Мне нравиться стильный изящный корпус и наличие готовых стилей. Thank you for your review a lot!
Congratulations on achieving 100k subscribers!!! Thank you for the detailed review. I bought it!!!! Waiting for its arrival!!!! Id appreciate one song on how to use this baby. No buttons!!! Omg!!! I'm unable to follow the older tutorials.
So the cons are : 1) You cannot name recorded samples Can it be fixed by an update ? 2) No direct audio output to a third party device (computer) Is there a workaround to this issue ? 3) Slow Chordana app (but can be updated) 4) Not user friendly, which is not practical when performing. Is this lack compensated by the Chordana app ?
@@essennagerry Plug the audio output into a separate interface if you have any. Alternatively ust it as MIDI controller over USB and let your DAW create the sounds.
That was a smart move including those two assignable knobs on this keyboard. The ability to adjust parameters like resonance , reverb type , chorus and tempo changes by adjusting two knobs is crucial when using my Yamaha PSR to create dynamic effects while I play; that are unique. I know the action is somewhat imbalanced, but the ability to adjust the overall hammer might compensate for this. The keyboard looks great as well in contrast to the conservative look of basic keyboards like the donner etc. I learned that the keyboard integrates nicely with a Casio app that overcomes the clumsiness of the keyboard menu function interface.
Jeremy, James at ThePianoforever channel measured the weight of the PX-S3000 action, and found the black and white keys are 13 grams different, which makes the piano very unplayable for him. Secondly that the white keys close to the tops were nearly unplayable. Did your PX-S3000 have these charactoristics?
I think the guy just doesn't understand that you can't expect exact grand piano keyboard action from a budget electronic piano. For it's price range it has insanely great action on keyboard and even compared to many in higher price range it will come off superior.
It's not an issue with price point, it's simply a flaw of design. Regardless of price point you don't expect the action to be dramatically different between the white and black keys.
@@zuuzuka none of the other digital pianos from other major brands at this price point (or even cheaper ones) have this problem. To be honest, I don't think the older Casio models have the same issue. It's a design flaw; Casio chose a bad aspect to sacrifice in terms of playability for classical pianists when they designed the piano. That channel was very good in terms of articulating the issues; I would just think it feels odd and has bad responses and not realising it's the weight differential causing part of ithe experience.
Excellent review. I've been looking for something to replace a Priva I bought 15 years ago. I just need to find a store now in Bangkok that has one in stock.
I also bought a Privia 15 years ago. At the time it was the best keyboard action I had ever found in a digital. This review is excellent and Jeremy is the man. I want one of these pianos.
If the 3000 had a mod wheel Casio would sell more of them. It would be great as a double use piano for home studio use. Midi controller, and a nice piano for when you don’t feel like firing up your computer setup. I’ve got a piano module hooked up to my weighted 88 key controller just for this purpose.
Thanks for such a good video. I like when you were playing with the sort of Hammond B3 organ sound. I was wondering if it offers sort of a Pulse or something that simulates the Leslie speaker effect, kind of a vibrato effect.
Hi Jeremy! I’m interested in purchasing this piano rather than a MIDI keyboard because I want to learn to play the traditional piano, but also so I can add my own melodies into my DAW. You mentioned that you cannot output digital audio directly into a DAW/computer. What does this mean exactly?
You will need an audio interface if you want to send and record audio to your computer. You can use this as a traditional piano and as a midi keyboard.
as usual a first rate and honest review. i tried this board recently and agree with everything you say. I dont think i could enjoy using this live and its a shame as its a brilliant keyboard and acheivement from casio..I hope they listen to your review
Great review, Jeremy! You pointed out some really important shortcomings of this keyboard for gigging musicians like myself. When I first saw the NAMM videos I thought "I've got to have this," but now I'm not sure. It's great that Casio added the Start/Stop options for the damper and expression pedal inputs. I've never understood why they would give a keyboard rhythm/arranger functions and then leave off footswitch control of them. The lack of start/stop and fill pedal capability was the sole reason I passed on buying a PX-360 a few months back. BUT, why, why, why did Casio make the SP-34 3-pedal unit functions fixed? Just think how useful it would be to have assignable functions to the three pedals. I myself would choose sustain, start/stop and fill. Then I could use the expressional pedal input for....an expression pedal! If I use the damper input for start/stop and the expression input for fills, then I have no choice but to carry along the SP-34 just to have a sustain pedal. Ugh!
Thank you for explaining all this for us. Now I am absolutely sure that I will not buy this particular Casio model. There are other improved Casio models, but they costs more. Casio should listen to this video.
I'm trying to move to casio and sell my Yamaha Ew410 which it is an amazing keyboard by the way and it has more easy UI by far. I really need a 88 keyboard with the same functions. I see they share many features in common except for the sampling and Melody suppressor function. Can you tell if with the app for Android it's easier to access to menus an settings? Like change instruments, recording etc.
Not surprised @21:42 when the company puts half of the features in an App, they are designing a throw away piano. Android or iOS probably won't run that App in about 3-4 years and they hope you will upgrade to a new keyboard.
Hey man! I am new to your channel! I am mainly a guitarist, but I really dig Casio stuff. I own the PX5s and XWG1. I like these new improved piano sounds with the new Privia series. New sub! Always nice to make new friends! 🐰🤘
Hey Jeremy, Can you please do a similar review for CDP S350? I am confused between CDP S350, PX S1000 and PX S3000. CDP S350 seems to be pretty similar to PX S 3000. Not sure what these Privia PX S models bring over the CDP 350.
Awesome comprehensive break down Jeremy! Salutations and Kudos! At first, I thought that (perhaps) this was going to be a rather negating video, but no, it really was not, and I liked the way you were careful to "affirm" the good features, and in particular, you brought the price factor up, from the git-go, which I think was good (and I was all too prepared to mention, if you had not). ;-) We realize that this is a really great product for (approximately) $799 street price, but you are right, from an "end-user" perspective, these things should be spelled out, and ought to be known in advance, for anyone considering to buy it, regardless of it's more than fair price. Yes, Casio is no doubt giving a great deal for the money, but, I like the way that this video sort of "challenges" Casio, to go the extra step, in those areas where "the extra step" would not have necessarily cost them, all so much energy or manufacturing cost, on their end (or at least, not to your perception, and logic). I can only consider, from a seller's standpoint, that perhaps in-born osbsolescence serves to strengthen the reason to buy their next model following, which will probably eclipse those oversights, with overcomes, and work-arounds, for but a small penny (or two) more. All-in-all, your analysis was very favorable, and I believe that Casio should be appreciative of your feedback, and hope that they will see it, from the end-user's standpoint, as typically they do, but the encapsulated, "deep dive", parameter controls that you mention, and lack of name-ability for the registrations, does resonate strongly to me. Thank you for a very detailed, end-user relative, and balanced view. (The only thing I might have wanted more was the general price tag of the Yamaha and Korg competitors, which I believe would strengthen the equational comparison, as well, although, I can look those up. And how well they "lived up" to some of those things that Casio did not, are left more in the abstract, to me, except that "this" Casio model might be better for 'at home', and sharing with loved ones than serious gigging, .... (depending), but what should I expect, for roughtly $799?) ;-) With Casio, perhaps we're expecting, or 'anticipating' more, because they're giving more, ... for the money.
Hi Jeremy (or any other readers). It is now Oct 2021. Do you know if Casio has updated S3000 to address the shortcomings you mentioned? I enjoyed this review a lot -- and I'm not even a keyboard player!! Gil, San Francisco
great review with pros and cons. i agree with many of the limitations you list. Not being able to NAME registrations is ridiculous! But I love the kyboard for most of its features.
Nicholas, the PX-S3000 is still the most advanced of the Casio keyboards using their new compact action and slim case design. I have a PX-S3000 and a CDP-S350, and they are both amazing for their cost and size.
I am a novice at playing piano. I purchased the PX S3000. I know very little about it. I am interested in playing grand piano with organ. I don't know how to do it.
There seems to be no video really showing the rhythms of this piano. I found some, where the man was talking, talking, showing 2 or 3 sounds and talking and then some, what demonstrates 1 or 2 rhythms.
Hi there, I'm planning to buy this piano model, but I've been a little turned off by other reviews saying that the black keys weigh a lot less than the white ones. Did you notice any difference in this regard?
This is the Digital Piano I want to get... I has ALL of the essentials that's missing with the Roland FP30X line (save what you mentioned). Unfortunately, it doesn't have the nice Key Action/etc. that the Roland line has, as well as a proper Mic Input. Why is it that EVERY Digital piano is just NOT right...?
Hi Jeremy can you tell me how to adjust tempo to make it small creak sound. Because the tempo is too loud compared to the piano keyboar. Thank you very much
Hey Jeremy, What would you rather recommend The Roland Fp30x Or The Casio ps-s3000? By the way thank you very much for your helpful and nice reviews....it helps a lot
Can you tell us whether there are any close competitor models which also offer registrations? Seems that this piano is the most feature rich and versatile portable piano under $1000: this with zero compromise on the main piano tones. I'm impressed.
Hi Bro, congratulations for your channel. It's pretty straight to the point how I like it. I really need your opinion: I'm confused if I buy the Studiologic Numa X Piano or Casio PX-S3100 BK Privia What I'm looking for is: Good sounds from A. Piano, E. Piano, Pad, Brass, Lead, Organ Acordion etc Layar and Split function, at least 3 parts and mainly, Good keys with Hammer Action. Thank you in advance for your help
how would you say this compares to the px-560? i was eyeing that keyboard for a loooooooooooooong time, but now it sounds dated from a recent review i saw about it. the thing about the px-560 is it offered some useful songwriting tools which i'd use (arrange, sequencer i believe, etc)
I heard that the white keys are harder to press than the black keys which could be a problem to a beginner....which is the flaw of this keyboard. Is it true?
Hi Jeremy, I recently got the px-s3000 and I'm looking in it the setting to set a fixed sustain on the notes (without needing the pedal), but i can't find the setting. Do you know how to set fixed sustain on casio px s3000? (I used yamaha dgx-660 earlier and it had this setting)
I agree that it is reasonable to sacrifice the onboard speakers' power to make this piano so compact. I presume that you are using them (at least part of the time) in this review. The best solution IMO is for digital piano manufacturers to make a dedicated extra speaker or speakers to augment specific piano models. So much thought goes into making the piano sounds, but so little goes into additional amplification possibilities. Customers should not be left to wander the barren landscape of largely shoddy/inappropriate auxiliary piano amplification (which is sadly the situation in the industry) desperately trying to find something that works well with their new piano.
I'm looking for my first digital piano for use for beginner and professional classical performances. I want one that saves my settings like tuning at A=430, or so, and changing the temperment to well-tempered, and so on. This piano seems right and affordable. And something close to the "real thing" of a piano. Or can you recommend something? Thank you!
@@JeremySee What is your take if I go with Roland FP-30 instead of Casio's S3000? Remember I really won't need Casio's "bells and whistles." I think I can tune to A=432hz on that Roland, but I don't know how.
I saw this px3000 in the music shop today. I saw a px360 one as well. I.am a beginner. I am.not sure which one to get.😬🤔 I like to have a choice of background sound like a drum beat etc.
Your reviews are some of the best I've seen...very in depth, informed and well organized...you're an excellent presenter. I'd love to hear your insights on both the CASIO Privia Pro PX-560 vs. the PXS-3000 as well as the ROLAND Juno DS. Perhaps you can convince Casio and ROLAND to send you loners for you to review so you wouldn't have to buy them?
Jeremy See You never know...as my mother always use to say, "It never hurts to ask. The worst you could hear back is 'no'...suprise yourself." Amazing how many 'yes' and 'OKs' I was shocked to hear after originally thinking, "There's just NO WAY!"
Jeremy See Aaaaah...AND yet the one thing you haven't recounted? "Oh, believe me, I've tried...all I got were polite declines and their apologies." You have 63.1K subscribers...not the biggest, but big enough to be a voice to be respected and a definite influencer. I know one of your distinguishing review components are direct comparrison's with comparable models from their competitors. One strategy to consider might be to save specific comparrisons to a seperate video. I wrote numerous software reviews as the Managing Editor for the final two years of Atari Corporation's international newstand magazine, Atari Explorer ( yeah, that far back ). Companies understand the importance of honest reviews as long as they feel they're respectful and from someone who is knowledgeable about their industry area. Model comparison videos are part-n-parcel of the consumer industry. A more 'diplomatically-balanced' approach is to make them a separate videos ( which you do ) while not pulling punches on missing and short-sighted features within individual product reviews BUT focusing on them in comparison to overall industry trends and expectations for those features themselves. You can do that without having to specify comparing them directly to this or that competitors' model features within a specific model review, which still provides your followers with the same 'keepin' it real voice' they expect from you and turn to you for without you having to compromise that voice. That way, you stay honest while your manufacturers appreciate your deliverying a review that emphasises strengths and points out what needs to be improved. It may not seem that different, but... Well...it's kind of like, you tell your marriage, life or romantic partner the things you love about them, what you'd like to see done differently and what drives you crazy. And saving all your unspoken comments-about all those other past relationship individuals who were 'so much better' delivering on those things-for sharing them with your friends down at your local pub...LOL!
Great advice, Peter! I will bear these in mind. Being in an asian country has its cons. Yamaha Music Asia just do not like anyone saying anything negative. I am sure I will have better luck with the USA HQ, except, no way they will ship keyboards to me half way round the world.
If I wanted to play my own drum beat, play my own melody of various instruments like piano bass guitar violin, play them together at the same time and record it directly in my keyboard/synthesizer, which would you recommend from the choice 88 weighted keys of Yamaha mx88, dgx650, Roland Juno ds88, korg kross 2 88, and this Casio ps-x3000?
Hey Jeremy I love your reviews. Have you done any reviews for the Medeli SP4200 and for the Casio PX-5S Privia PRO. I didn't find anything by googling your name
Hi there!!!! This review is so helpful and you seem to have the credibility to give us your take on these digital pianos!!!! Thank you. Would you be able to review roland fp 30 ? I am eyeing on it and am planning to buy it for myself this Christmas. However, I would appreciate to hear your opinion before i do so! Cheers xx
Jeremy have you ever looked at a pipe organ? They can have small one can easily have 10 to 30 presets and large ones between 50 and 100 presets on them including toe taps. My home organ has 22 not counting the ones on the add on module. The are never named and one must keep their contents in your memory. That's the life of an organist. So not being able to name presets on a keyboard is no big deal.
I started learning on an Ace Tone in the 70s and is familiar with having drawbars and tabs. I also played competitively on the Yamaha Electone organs where registrations were just numeric banks. However, technology has moved on and the audience's expectations has moved on. The parameters on these instruments need hours of sitting down, experimenting and menu diving and there is no way one can do so on the fly without presets and handling hundreds of presets across multi-keyboards require some organisation and naming for quick retrieval.
Big doubt Jeremy. Does this keyboard has a MIDI OUT? I don't see one. If it doesn't, how will I connect to my audio interface! I need to connect the keyboard to my audio interface and NOT to the computer directly

A USB to Host (Type B) port is located at the back of the piano and allows you to connect the PX-S3000 to a computer. No audio interface is required, just software that accepts midi inputs.
Thanks for the excellent review Jeremy! I purchased the piano yesterday based on it, and love it!
Great choice!
The sound around 3:17, compared to the sounds I usually hear coming off the Nord my buddy and keys player uses, throws me back straight to the 386 games era with GM support.
Great review, Jeremy! I guess everyone makes a keyboard that almost fits the user’s needs. Casio is great, but another almost winner for me.
Hello jeremy, thank you for your video. I went to try this piano in a shop and I was very disappointed by the keys which do not fill solid and which sound hollow. In general, casio keyboards have this same problem (cdp s100/350 - px s1000/3000). Now I'm waiting for the release of the Korg xe20 because the yamaha DGX 660 has speakers that are too weak and the Roland FP 60 is too expensive.
Jeremy, I really need your expertise to decide what digital piano would be best for me. Here are my choices and priorities: All are 88 key. Kawai ES920 or CA59 Korg Grandstage or Korg svs, sv2sp. Other information that will help: * I am at a beginner level * I am 67 years old * I am limited to 30-40 minutes practice daily * $ is not an issue My priorities: * Ease of learning how to play the instrument * Sounds, Use Piano & Electric Piano 95% of the time * Probably only play in bedroom because I am handicapped * Keyboard action * Flash Drive, Ability to connect IPad to Apps, if possible have Bluetooth midi and audio. PLUS ANY OTHER MODEL THAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE FOR ME. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SELFISH WITH YOUR TIME, BUT I AM HANDICAPPED TO THE EXTENTI CANNOT LEAVE MY HOME. I SPEND 90% OF MY TIME IN BED. I DESPERATELY NEED AN ACTIVITY TO KEEP MIND ALERT. Thank you, Glenn Allen PS if any readers have an opinion, please don’t hesitate to send them to: Text to 480-254-6838 Email to glennallen165@gmail.com
I'm going to buy it in four days on Thursday. I really like it. Мне нравиться стильный изящный корпус и наличие готовых стилей. Thank you for your review a lot!
Congratulations on achieving 100k subscribers!!! Thank you for the detailed review. I bought it!!!! Waiting for its arrival!!!! Id appreciate one song on how to use this baby. No buttons!!! Omg!!! I'm unable to follow the older tutorials.
So the cons are :
1) You cannot name recorded samples
Can it be fixed by an update ?
2) No direct audio output to a third party device (computer)
Is there a workaround to this issue ?
3) Slow Chordana app (but can be updated)
4) Not user friendly, which is not practical when performing.
Is this lack compensated by the Chordana app ?
Id say you have answered all of your questions correctly.
… so is there a workaround?
@@essennagerry Plug the audio output into a separate interface if you have any. Alternatively ust it as MIDI controller over USB and let your DAW create the sounds.
That was a smart move including those two assignable knobs on this keyboard. The ability to adjust parameters like resonance , reverb type , chorus and tempo changes by adjusting two knobs is crucial when using my Yamaha PSR to create dynamic effects while I play; that are unique. I know the action is somewhat imbalanced, but the ability to adjust the overall hammer might compensate for this. The keyboard looks great as well in contrast to the conservative look of basic keyboards like the donner etc. I learned that the keyboard integrates nicely with a Casio app that overcomes the clumsiness of the keyboard menu function interface.
Ty for heart. It is just my opinion of course, but I am looking forward to getting a high quality digital piano someday.
Jeremy, James at ThePianoforever channel measured the weight of the PX-S3000 action, and found the black and white keys are 13 grams different, which makes the piano very unplayable for him. Secondly that the white keys close to the tops were nearly unplayable. Did your PX-S3000 have these charactoristics?
I think the guy just doesn't understand that you can't expect exact grand piano keyboard action from a budget electronic piano. For it's price range it has insanely great action on keyboard and even compared to many in higher price range it will come off superior.
It's not an issue with price point, it's simply a flaw of design. Regardless of price point you don't expect the action to be dramatically different between the white and black keys.
Hi, I saw that review aswell but in this price range, do we have any other keyboard without this problem?
yure ho yes. The same guy reviewed Roland fp30, Kawai es110 & Yamaha P125. No such flaw detected.
@@zuuzuka none of the other digital pianos from other major brands at this price point (or even cheaper ones) have this problem. To be honest, I don't think the older Casio models have the same issue. It's a design flaw; Casio chose a bad aspect to sacrifice in terms of playability for classical pianists when they designed the piano. That channel was very good in terms of articulating the issues; I would just think it feels odd and has bad responses and not realising it's the weight differential causing part of ithe experience.
Excellent review. I've been looking for something to replace a Priva I bought 15 years ago. I just need to find a store now in Bangkok that has one in stock.
Glad it was helpful!
I also bought a Privia 15 years ago. At the time it was the best keyboard action I had ever found in a digital. This review is excellent and Jeremy is the man. I want one of these pianos.
Excellent review. I have just bought the Casio Pxs 3000.
Have fun!
This or p125 or Kawai ES110 ?
If the 3000 had a mod wheel Casio would sell more of them. It would be great as a double use piano for home studio use. Midi controller, and a nice piano for when you don’t feel like firing up your computer setup. I’ve got a piano module hooked up to my weighted 88 key controller just for this purpose.
Casio wants you to buy 5s or 560.
Which module?
Thanks for such a good video. I like when you were playing with the sort of Hammond B3 organ sound. I was wondering if it offers sort of a Pulse or something that simulates the Leslie speaker effect, kind of a vibrato effect.
Very nice review brother! Great playing! Looks like a cool instrument. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Hi bro, you are the only person tells that plus and minus Thank you
Excellent review!
Hi Jeremy! I’m interested in purchasing this piano rather than a MIDI keyboard because I want to learn to play the traditional piano, but also so I can add my own melodies into my DAW. You mentioned that you cannot output digital audio directly into a DAW/computer. What does this mean exactly?
You will need an audio interface if you want to send and record audio to your computer. You can use this as a traditional piano and as a midi keyboard.
Jeremy See Awesome! Thank you so much for your response & these informative reviews. Can’t wait to purchase my Casio PX-S3000!
as usual a first rate and honest review. i tried this board recently and agree with everything you say. I dont think i could enjoy using this live and its a shame as its a brilliant keyboard and acheivement from casio..I hope they listen to your review
Thank you for sharing buddy.
i had hit the like button before you said :)
like your review very much
have you kept it
Yes I did
@@JeremySee have you got any songs on the channel, featuring this piano
One more subscription. Thank you so much for detailed review, Jeremy. Wish you success!
Thanks for the video! One question - I heard that the black keys are actually weighted less than the white keys; did you notice this at all?
th-cam.com/video/mhc404l_wig/w-d-xo.html
Great review, Jeremy! You pointed out some really important shortcomings of this keyboard for gigging musicians like myself. When I first saw the NAMM videos I thought "I've got to have this," but now I'm not sure. It's great that Casio added the Start/Stop options for the damper and expression pedal inputs. I've never understood why they would give a keyboard rhythm/arranger functions and then leave off footswitch control of them. The lack of start/stop and fill pedal capability was the sole reason I passed on buying a PX-360 a few months back. BUT, why, why, why did Casio make the SP-34 3-pedal unit functions fixed? Just think how useful it would be to have assignable functions to the three pedals. I myself would choose sustain, start/stop and fill. Then I could use the expressional pedal input for....an expression pedal! If I use the damper input for start/stop and the expression input for fills, then I have no choice but to carry along the SP-34 just to have a sustain pedal. Ugh!
Thank you for explaining all this for us. Now I am absolutely sure that I will not buy this particular Casio model. There are other improved Casio models, but they costs more. Casio should listen to this video.
I'm trying to move to casio and sell my Yamaha Ew410 which it is an amazing keyboard by the way and it has more easy UI by far. I really need a 88 keyboard with the same functions. I see they share many features in common except for the sampling and Melody suppressor function. Can you tell if with the app for Android it's easier to access to menus an settings? Like change instruments, recording etc.
What about the black keys 🧐
Not surprised @21:42 when the company puts half of the features in an App, they are designing a throw away piano. Android or iOS probably won't run that App in about 3-4 years and they hope you will upgrade to a new keyboard.
A lot of Android users? Of course. In wealthy countries it is 50%, and worldwide it is 75%.
Hey man! I am new to your channel!
I am mainly a guitarist, but I really dig Casio stuff. I own the PX5s and XWG1. I like these new improved piano sounds with the new Privia series.
New sub! Always nice to make new friends! 🐰🤘
Hey Jeremy, Can you please do a similar review for CDP S350? I am confused between CDP S350, PX S1000 and PX S3000. CDP S350 seems to be pretty similar to PX S 3000. Not sure what these Privia PX S models bring over the CDP 350.
This is what I am still dealing with :)
Size. Weight.
Slightly better keys, mainly better inner sounds rythm, accompaniement, connectivity (2xRCA audio output, BT audio input, 2x headphones jack in)
Awesome comprehensive break down Jeremy! Salutations and Kudos! At first, I thought that (perhaps) this was going to be a rather negating video, but no, it really was not, and I liked the way you were careful to "affirm" the good features, and in particular, you brought the price factor up, from the git-go, which I think was good (and I was all too prepared to mention, if you had not). ;-)
We realize that this is a really great product for (approximately) $799 street price, but you are right, from an "end-user" perspective, these things should be spelled out, and ought to be known in advance, for anyone considering to buy it, regardless of it's more than fair price. Yes, Casio is no doubt giving a great deal for the money, but, I like the way that this video sort of "challenges" Casio, to go the extra step, in those areas where "the extra step" would not have necessarily cost them, all so much energy or manufacturing cost, on their end (or at least, not to your perception, and logic). I can only consider, from a seller's standpoint, that perhaps in-born osbsolescence serves to strengthen the reason to buy their next model following, which will probably eclipse those oversights, with overcomes, and work-arounds, for but a small penny (or two) more.
All-in-all, your analysis was very favorable, and I believe that Casio should be appreciative of your feedback, and hope that they will see it, from the end-user's standpoint, as typically they do, but the encapsulated, "deep dive", parameter controls that you mention, and lack of name-ability for the registrations, does resonate strongly to me.
Thank you for a very detailed, end-user relative, and balanced view. (The only thing I might have wanted more was the general price tag of the Yamaha and Korg competitors, which I believe would strengthen the equational comparison, as well, although, I can look those up. And how well they "lived up" to some of those things that Casio did not, are left more in the abstract, to me, except that "this" Casio model might be better for 'at home', and sharing with loved ones than serious gigging, .... (depending), but what should I expect, for roughtly $799?) ;-) With Casio, perhaps we're expecting, or 'anticipating' more, because they're giving more, ... for the money.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, buddy.
@@JeremySee My pleasure. I like how your mind works, and look forward to listening to your other reviews, existing, and in the future.
Jeremy, how do you compare the keybed and sounds of PX-S3000 vs Roland DS 88?
Hi Jeremy (or any other readers). It is now Oct 2021. Do you know if Casio has updated S3000 to address the shortcomings you mentioned?
I enjoyed this review a lot -- and I'm not even a keyboard player!!
Gil, San Francisco
great review with pros and cons. i agree with many of the limitations you list. Not being able to NAME registrations is ridiculous! But I love the kyboard for most of its features.
What about Yamaha MX88 vs Korg Kross 2 88 Key Synthesizer Workstation ? Which one should I buy ?
Is this the most advanced out of their slimline series? So far I know of CDP-S100, CDP-S150, CDP-S350, PX-S1000, PX-S3000.
Nicholas, the PX-S3000 is still the most advanced of the Casio keyboards using their new compact action and slim case design. I have a PX-S3000 and a CDP-S350, and they are both amazing for their cost and size.
I am a novice at playing piano. I purchased the PX S3000. I know very little about it. I am interested in playing grand piano with organ. I don't know how to do it.
There seems to be no video really showing the rhythms of this piano.
I found some, where the man was talking, talking, showing 2 or 3 sounds and talking and then some, what demonstrates 1 or 2 rhythms.
Hi there, I'm planning to buy this piano model, but I've been a little turned off by other reviews saying that the black keys weigh a lot less than the white ones. Did you notice any difference in this regard?
Finally! Thanks for the review!
Hello Jeremy see. Where i can buy this casi privia pxs 3000?
This is the Digital Piano I want to get... I has ALL of the essentials that's missing with the Roland FP30X line (save what you mentioned).
Unfortunately, it doesn't have the nice Key Action/etc. that the Roland line has, as well as a proper Mic Input.
Why is it that EVERY Digital piano is just NOT right...?
Hi Jeremy can you tell me how to adjust tempo to make it small creak sound. Because the tempo is too loud compared to the piano keyboar. Thank you very much
Amazing review thank you it helps me very much. I'm trying to find the best 88 weighted key, keyboard for it's price.
Hey Jeremy,
What would you rather recommend
The Roland Fp30x
Or
The Casio ps-s3000?
By the way thank you very much for your helpful and nice reviews....it helps a lot
Can you tell us whether there are any close competitor models which also offer registrations?
Seems that this piano is the most feature rich and versatile portable piano under $1000: this with zero compromise on the main piano tones. I'm impressed.
Hi Bro, congratulations for your channel. It's pretty straight to the point how I like it.
I really need your opinion:
I'm confused if I buy the
Studiologic Numa X Piano
or
Casio PX-S3100 BK Privia
What I'm looking for is:
Good sounds from A. Piano, E. Piano, Pad, Brass, Lead, Organ Acordion etc
Layar and Split function, at least 3 parts and mainly, Good keys with Hammer Action.
Thank you in advance for your help
Very nice review. What can you say about Casio Privia PX 360? Is it better than yamaha P 125?
how would you say this compares to the px-560? i was eyeing that keyboard for a loooooooooooooong time, but now it sounds dated from a recent review i saw about it. the thing about the px-560 is it offered some useful songwriting tools which i'd use (arrange, sequencer i believe, etc)
Nice review, Jeremy! Congrats, man!
I heard that the white keys are harder to press than the black keys which could be a problem to a beginner....which is the flaw of this keyboard. Is it true?
Hi Jeremy, I recently got the px-s3000 and I'm looking in it the setting to set a fixed sustain on the notes (without needing the pedal), but i can't find the setting. Do you know how to set fixed sustain on casio px s3000?
(I used yamaha dgx-660 earlier and it had this setting)
Best PX-S3000 review ever!!
Thanks buddy
I agree that it is reasonable to sacrifice the onboard speakers' power to make this piano so compact. I presume that you are using them (at least part of the time) in this review. The best solution IMO is for digital piano manufacturers to make a dedicated extra speaker or speakers to augment specific piano models. So much thought goes into making the piano sounds, but so little goes into additional amplification possibilities.
Customers should not be left to wander the barren landscape of largely shoddy/inappropriate auxiliary piano amplification (which is sadly the situation in the industry) desperately trying to find something that works well with their new piano.
Is this paino suitable for beginer? I try to compare with yamaha P125 but can not decision yet. Can you help me with that ?
Great review! Still indecised: AP-470 or the PX-S3000
How does this compare to the Roland RD-88?
Is there a better Casio than the px560?
does it support complex rhythms like 7-8, 5-8, 6-4 etc?
I'm looking for my first digital piano for use for beginner and professional classical performances. I want one that saves my settings like tuning at A=430, or so, and changing the temperment to well-tempered, and so on. This piano seems right and affordable. And something close to the "real thing" of a piano. Or can you recommend something? Thank you!
This is pretty close to the real thing. And can save the 430hz tuning.
@@JeremySee Thanks for the help!
@@JeremySee What is your take if I go with Roland FP-30 instead of Casio's S3000? Remember I really won't need Casio's "bells and whistles." I think I can tune to A=432hz on that Roland, but I don't know how.
Regarding rhythms and tones , which one will you say sir, dgx 660 or px s3000
And also how many presets are there in both dgx 660 and px s3000
great review man, it helps a lot....
I saw this px3000 in the music shop today. I saw a px360 one as well.
I.am a beginner. I am.not sure which one to get.😬🤔
I like to have a choice of background sound like a drum beat etc.
Your reviews are some of the best I've seen...very in depth, informed and well organized...you're an excellent presenter.
I'd love to hear your insights on both the CASIO Privia Pro PX-560 vs. the PXS-3000 as well as the ROLAND Juno DS.
Perhaps you can convince Casio and ROLAND to send you loners for you to review so you wouldn't have to buy them?
Don't think any company will loan me pianos so that I can review the bad things with the good things.

You never know...as my mother always use to say,
"It never hurts to ask. The worst you could hear back is 'no'...suprise yourself."
Amazing how many 'yes' and 'OKs' I was shocked to hear after originally thinking, "There's just NO WAY!"
The management of Casio, Roland, Yamaha & Korg are in my WhatsApp chat. 😉 things would be very different if I am located in the USA.
Jeremy See
Aaaaah...AND yet the one thing you haven't recounted? "Oh, believe me, I've tried...all I got were polite declines and their apologies." You have 63.1K subscribers...not the biggest, but big enough to be a voice to be respected and a definite influencer. I know one of your distinguishing review components are direct comparrison's with comparable models from their competitors.
One strategy to consider might be to save specific comparrisons to a seperate video. I wrote numerous software reviews as the Managing Editor for the final two years of Atari Corporation's international newstand magazine, Atari Explorer ( yeah, that far back ). Companies understand the importance of honest reviews as long as they feel they're respectful and from someone who is knowledgeable about their industry area.
Model comparison videos are part-n-parcel of the consumer industry. A more 'diplomatically-balanced' approach is to make them a separate videos ( which you do ) while not pulling punches on missing and short-sighted features within individual product reviews BUT focusing on them in comparison to overall industry trends and expectations for those features themselves. You can do that without having to specify comparing them directly to this or that competitors' model features within a specific model review, which still provides your followers with the same 'keepin' it real voice' they expect from you and turn to you for without you having to compromise that voice.
That way, you stay honest while your manufacturers appreciate your deliverying a review that emphasises strengths and points out what needs to be improved. It may not seem that different, but... Well...it's kind of like, you tell your marriage, life or romantic partner the things you love about them, what you'd like to see done differently and what drives you crazy. And saving all your unspoken comments-about all those other past relationship individuals who were 'so much better' delivering on those things-for sharing them with your friends down at your local pub...LOL!
Great advice, Peter! I will bear these in mind. Being in an asian country has its cons. Yamaha Music Asia just do not like anyone saying anything negative. I am sure I will have better luck with the USA HQ, except, no way they will ship keyboards to me half way round the world.
If I wanted to play my own drum beat, play my own melody of various instruments like piano bass guitar violin, play them together at the same time and record it directly in my keyboard/synthesizer, which would you recommend from the choice 88 weighted keys of Yamaha mx88, dgx650, Roland Juno ds88, korg kross 2 88, and this Casio ps-x3000?
Hey Jeremy I love your reviews. Have you done any reviews for the Medeli SP4200 and for the Casio PX-5S Privia PRO. I didn't find anything by googling your name
What are the tones called at 7:09 and 10:53? 😭
Does the usb midi really not work with DAWs? Its a deal breaker if that's the case.
The USB midi works with DAW. You might want to watch again.
@@JeremySee ah. I think I misheard on your caveats section. Thank you Jeremy!
Hi there!!!! This review is so helpful and you seem to have the credibility to give us your take on these digital pianos!!!! Thank you. Would you be able to review roland fp 30 ? I am eyeing on it and am planning to buy it for myself this Christmas. However, I would appreciate to hear your opinion before i do so! Cheers xx
I will be making video on best pianos & keywords to get this Christmas. 😉 Hang in there!
@@JeremySee Will Roland FP30 be a part of the list? Hahaha. Thanks in advance. Please focus on the piano sounds :)
Jeremy have you ever looked at a pipe organ? They can have small one can easily have 10 to 30 presets and large ones between 50 and 100 presets on them including toe taps. My home organ has 22 not counting the ones on the add on module. The are never named and one must keep their contents in your memory. That's the life of an organist. So not being able to name presets on a keyboard is no big deal.
I started learning on an Ace Tone in the 70s and is familiar with having drawbars and tabs. I also played competitively on the Yamaha Electone organs where registrations were just numeric banks. However, technology has moved on and the audience's expectations has moved on. The parameters on these instruments need hours of sitting down, experimenting and menu diving and there is no way one can do so on the fly without presets and handling hundreds of presets across multi-keyboards require some organisation and naming for quick retrieval.
CT-X5000を愛用していますが、PX-S3000も良い音をしていますね。分かりやすい解説と素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます😊
どういたしまして
Big doubt Jeremy. Does this keyboard has a MIDI OUT? I don't see one. If it doesn't, how will I connect to my audio interface! I need to connect the keyboard to my audio interface and NOT to the computer directly
It seems to wiggle quite a bit based on your video.
It was on an X-stand and not a wooden stand.
Should I get this or the DGX-660?
did you make the choice yet ?
