  1. Yes, Mike, I know how it is supposed to work, that's why I mentioned I have never used in a few years, but now I need it to play Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1. Brad, apparently the problem is mechanical. I don't know if it is designed that way, but I have to step on the pedal really hard (to the metal) for it to work. So hard I feared it might break, so I added a piece of cardboard under the pedal board for extra support. It requires really much more pressure than the other 2 pedals. Is it that way by design or my unit might be damaged?
  2. I own a PX560M keyboard with the wooden stand and an SP33 pedal board. I've had it for two years, but I have never actually used the sustain (middle) pedal till today. I tried it when I assembled it 2 years ago, and it seemd to work fine. Today I tried to use it to play Gymnopédie N. 1, and I found it works randomly. I tested it thoroughly and I am clueless. Might it be a firmware / configuration issue? The other two pedals work flawlessly, and this one was almost never used. Has any of you experienced the same issue?. Thanks.

    Did you try this one?
  4. I have been searching the net for solutions during a couple of days, read thoroughly the Casio manuals and faqs, and found nothing about it. I was starting to think that they had sent me a defective unit and was ready to send it back. It would have taken me ages to figure it out on my own. I don't know if it is a good idea to include these features, but sure, they shoud be disabled by default. And the manual should be better. If there is such a knob that must be in the right position in order to start playing, there should be a clear indication in the manuals, sort of a checklist to go over when you first try to use your new instrument.
  5. Thank you BradMZ. It was the modulation wheel, all the way up. Problem solved.
  6. I just got my new Px-560M a couple of days ago. It came with firmware version 1.12. When I first turn it on, the LCD screen showed that the upper 1 tone was set to Grand Piano 1 (default). However, the sound was not that of a grand piano (you can hear it in the attached take00.wav file). The sound is the same on the speakers, over earphones, and even when recorded in a wav file and played on my PC. I tried pressing the "Grand Piano" key, but nothing happened. I then updated the firmware to 1.14 and performed a "factory reset", but the problem persisted. Then, by chance, I entered the "mixer" section. The sound immediatly changed to the correct grand piano sound (hear to take01.wav). If I turn off the piano and on again, the problem reappears, and goes away (for that session) by simply entering the "mixer" section of the menu, whithout changing any parameter, just by entering that section of the menu. I don't understand what is happening, and it doesn't appear to be a normal behaviour. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? TAKE00.WAV TAKE01.WAV
