  1. Two USB ports are on the keyboard. To be clear, are you connected to the USB type B (to host) port?
  2. Try blowing air between the problem keys.
  3. That's something I call the accompaniment standby tone. With accompaniment chord mode turned on, but a rhythm is not playing yet, the standby tone confirms chord mode is tuned on. If the tone wasn't there, silence may be mistaken for a fault. Unfortunately the tone can't be changed to a different type.
  4. The 17th system track is used to record your registration setups, splits and layers.
  5. Best quality will be with the cable instead of wireless.
  6. Press function, go to system, go to auto resume, turn it on. This remembers most settings for power off.
  7. Manuals are at the link below. There is no need to upload them on the forums. https://www.casio.com/intl/support/electronic-musical-instruments/manual/?model=CT-S1
  8. Sorry I didn't see your update. I was expecting a new post. I've never seen a pedal with adjustable tension before. I don't know how that would be done.
  9. You may not like to use Bluetooth since it can potentially add a delay to the sound.
  10. Glad to see you're still hanging out with us. My PX-5S is still the center of my keyboard world. It's true that it's been so good that nothing (still, to this day) can entirely replace it. I think we'll eventually see Casio offering a replacement. I'm kinda glad it has taken this long. Not only does it show how well the 5S has held up over time, it means we have a chance to see an all new stage piano with some of the great sound programming that has appeared in other Casio products released in recent years. I know many like to use VST instruments, but I'm very much a built-in-sounds type of guy. The chance at a significantly improved preset library of tones is a very tempting reason to update my PX-5S. I'm still hopeful and waiting for that chance.
  11. I think it mostly depends on what you need specifically in your case. Registrations are good for storing complex setups like splits and layers. The user F buttons can be good as shortcuts to your favorite tones. Registrations setups are 4 per bank. So each registration in a bank is unique with the tones and settings you configured when saving it. Of course there are multiple banks, so yes this will take some navigation to move through all of them. I think the user F buttons may be what you're really looking for, a "favorite" tones sort of thing.
  12. You would need an audio input jack on your computer. This is usually a 3.5mm stereo mini jack. Does it have one? If not, you'll need to add a USB audio interface. The interface will allow the headphone output of the keyboard to connect to an input on the interface. That in turn sends audio into the computer through USB. Your headphones can be connected to the computer or audio interface (if it has a headphone output of it's own). Software configuration for this may be tricky depending on how you're communicating with your tutor. It depends if the software will allow you to select the audio interface as a source. I'm not familiar enough with Mac computers to give deeper insights to that. Hopefully this helps.
  13. You could pre-record some user rhythms then possibly use the mixer to bring different parts in and out as it plays back. I've done it on other models in the past. The WK should be able to do that.
  14. Open "Piano Remote Controller". You will see "Sync Settings" with an option to "load app settings to instrument", or "load instrument settings". Select "load app settings to instrument". The app can store up to 4 different setups for send to the piano as desired. More info from the user manual here.
  15. MIDI files and audio files stored on a USB flash drive can be played without loading them into keyboard memory. Create a folder on the USB drive named MUSICDAT and copy your files to that folder. Note that supported file types are standard WAV and MP3 audio files and standard MIDI files. Once copying is completed, move the flash drive from your computer to the USB port on your piano. The piano will scan the drive. After "mounting" is no longer displayed, you can play the files. Press the play stop button and then the song type button (F4 STYPE). Use the ring to select MIDI or Audio USB. Use the ring to select a song title and press the play button. For more details, see the PX-S7000 user manual page EN-101. Note that audio can also be streamed to the piano wirelessly through Bluetooth with the WU-BT10 adapter from external devices.
  16. Headphone jacks are stereo. You'll probably want to use a stereo TRS cable for the headphone jack.
  17. We don't have anything like that. This section is the only one specifically about the WK models. You could watch YouTube videos about general synthesizer techniques. Some of that can apply to the WK.
  18. The file size may be too big for keyboard memory. If you rather play the file using the DAW, you should be able to find MIDI device preferences for IN and OUT (Casio USB MIDI) somewhere in there, as long as the piano is in MIDI mode, not USB mode.
  19. Cakewalk by Bandlab is free. It comes with some free instruments.
  20. This keyboard wasn't made with that in mind. Loopers are live performance tools for recording and performing with loops in real time. Auto accompaniment is a pre-recorded backing track that loops. I have yet to see any auto accompaniment system that can be used as a live looper. It's a great keyboard with a lot to offer along with the CT-S1000V, with features that are hard to find (if not impossible) in this category. It has sampling ability which can be used for some pretty creative things. It also has assignable knobs for controlling effects and basic synth parameters in real time. It has an extensive DSP effects system that's editable for creating new sounds. The preset sounds and drum patterns are very inspiring as they are. It's great to connect up to a DAW and lay down some tracks with these sounds. The onboard recorder is meant to be used as a sketch pad for capturing creative ideas that may occur in the middle of nowhere, as often happens with songwriting. It doesn't offer much in the way of editing on the keyboard, since exporting the songs to a computer for further work is usually all that's needed. The CT-X3000 and 5000 are available to fill the needs of more complex song recording and editing on the keyboard itself.
  21. CDP-S350 does not support installation of new tones. You can however use your piano as a USB MIDI controller to play software instruments on a computer or mobile device.
  22. I'm glad you were able to resolve it and have one that meets your expectations now. As far as the pedal unit cable, I would look around for a standard 6 pin mini DIN PS/2 type extension cable (same port commonly used in the past for a computer mouse). I can't personally confirm this, but it appears that would be compatible with the pedal unit cable. As far as posting limits, that is a temporary condition for all new members to help us keep out spammers. Keep posting and you'll receive full member status soon.
  23. We do have a rhythms database in the downloads section. https://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/category/68-rhythms/
