  1. Hi and welcome to the forums. It could be debris or some kind of build-up messing with the sensors, or a control board could be bad. First thing I'd try is cheap and easy: blast out the bad area with canned air. Really get the straw in there and spray all around the affected area. Also, turn the keyboard upside-down when you do this so gravity works for you, not against you. This *may* work, but my guess is it needs to be opened up and maybe some parts to be fixed. So if the air doesn't work, you may want to look at just getting a new one. 9 years is a pretty good run for an entry-level digital piano and you will be getting a MUCH better sound and feel with a brand new instrument. Brand new CDP-135 is $299. So food for thought.. GOOD LUCK! Let us know how it works out!
  2. I spent the last two weeks teaching a Sound Explorers Summer Camp and the CT-X700 was a huge hit. Easily the most favored keyboard (a roster of which contained some 1000+ boards!). Kids loved that they could grab it and take it to a table and make real music very quickly. Next, my CT-X700 is going on a Florida road tour! July & August we're going from the Gulf Coast to the Space Coast -- let's see what adventures (and misadventures!) the CT-X700 can find!
  3. Yes kudos indeed. Some people really want to see EVERYTHING the instrument can do, so something like this is really nice to have (and not have to make it myself LOLOLOLOLOL). CHEERS! ๐ŸŽน๐ŸŽน๐ŸŽน
  4. LOLOLOLOLOL Anywho, Casio Japan has some nice videos of the CT-X3000 and 50000 in action:
  5. Muscle memory is basically a task that you have done so often and so well, that you don't think about it --- but of course it's still all in the brain.
  6. Only a year old? My guess is the plastic picked up the musty smell from the basement and it just needs time to wear off. (Ever smell a keyboard from a smoker? BLECH!) My suggestion would to be put it in a box or closet with a some baking soda or other odor / moisture absorbing material for a week.. or just run a fan on it for a few days. RE: Vinegar. I don't think it will hurt the keys, and if you try it I would do just one white and one black key and make sure it doesn't discolor.
  7. Hi Clyde and welcome. Don't feel bad. I have run out of fingers and toes to count the number of times this issue has come up. :-)
  8. GM = General MIDI. These are, in essence, a set of standard sounds across all brands of keyboards. They each may sound slightly different between brands, but overall it's a pretty good system. Without this, MIDI files wouldn't work right; you'd have to assign each track to an instrument manually. OK so to record to a PC? You need an audio interface and a DAW or audio recording program (Audacity, for example). So you take the audio from the CTK and go into the interface and then the interface goes to the PC via USB.
  9. Honestly, any cheap mixer with a decent pre-amp. You should be able to find one for around $40-60. The Behringer Xenyx 502 5-Channel Analog Mixer is only $40.
  10. Page E-44 of the manual covers how to select a chord: http://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/008/Web_WK240_CTK4400-ES1A_EN.pdf Are you following all those steps and and it's still not working for the chords you listed? All other chords play OK?
  11. Hi Pendejo. I wouldn't be too concerned unless it happens again. It could have had a "bad" shutdown and some data got corrupted. The fact that the factory reset fixed it is a GOOD sign! It pretty much eliminates this being a hardware issue. If you registered your 560 at CasioMusicGear.com then you have a three year warranty so I would not sweat it. Just keep an eye on it and post here if it happens again.
  12. Try using a mixer as a pre-amp to boost the mic sound so: mic ---> mixer ---> keyboard
  13. Call the Casio Parts Department at 1-800-223-2001 and request this: Part Code: 10449080 Desc: PX-5S BATTERY COVER Spec: TK-RJM512804*001 Please let us know what the cost is for future reference. I saw one place that it's $60 and want to confirm. Thanks.
  14. Self-taught, but now getting tips from YouTube videos so really learning from others - but not "formal lessons". Started in 1987 and while I may slow down sometimes (LIFE!) -- -I never stop! LOL. My rule on music is: if it SOUNDS good, it IS good. ๐Ÿ˜„
  15. Hi Zoey. Do you have the phone's audio jack connected to the Casio's audio in or do you just have the USB connector going? --- You need both for the audio to play into the CTK.
