  1. Thanks so much Brad. That did the trick!
  2. I own a Pxs1000. I'm using mine as a midi controller with my iPad music apps, but also want to use some of the internal sounds Is it possible to do both? I have USB going out to send midi to my iPad apps. I also have 1/4" cables running from PXs L & R audio outputs into my mixer, then into my headphones. My problem is that the Pxs internal sounds are going only through the Pxs speakers- getting nothing out of my headphones. I cannot turn off the internal speakers. I followed the instructions in the manual - hold down Function pad and press and release C6. I hear a little kerplunk sound but this does not mute the internal speakers. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?
  3. I really only need a single pedal...I have several Yamaha FC-4 pedals, but they are apparently set up for opposite polarity- i.e., sustain is on unless the pedal is pressed. Is there any way within the piano to reverse polarity (i.e. reverse midi on-off signals) so that the pedal operates correctly?
  4. does the SP-20 pedal support half-pedaling?
  5. I've seen several S1000 keyboards used on Ebay for about $100 off. They appear to be in good condition but do not come with power supply. What are the specs for the S series power supply? Same as the PX-5?
  6. Is there a new gig bag specific to the PX-S series dimensions? I have the Casio bag for the older PX models.
  7. The keybed on the Casio digital pianos seems to be noisier than some other brands, and it gets louder over a period of years. When I sold my PX5 I had been using it for 3 years. By that time the middle section of the keyboard was definitely noiser and than the lower and upper extremes and the keys were looser. Still very playable, but noisy. The Roland A-88 I now own has a very quiet keybed
  8. I realize this is an old topic but thought I would add my 2 cents worth as I was just searching "PX-5 keybed noise". I purchased my Px-5s 3 years ago and have in general been satisfied with it. I have gradually moved away from using onboard sounds and now use the PX exclusively as a midi controller. I've gotten much more serious about playing piano and have been taking jazz piano skype lessons for about 6 months. This has resulted in my becoming more aware of the sensitivity of the keyboard. The Px-5's velocity response for soft versus forceful strikes is pretty good, but I have become increasingly dissatisfied with how noisy the keybed is. It wasn't any issue when I was playing the PX in a band scenerio but solo, the noise is distracting. If I wear closed-cell headphones it's not a problem, but who wants to wear head phones all the time? It's to the point that I am seriously considering selling the PX and purchasing a good midi controller such as the Roland A-88 or Studio Logic SL88. I've also been looking at the M-Audio Hammer 88. Any thoughts a bout alternative midi controller keyboards with decent (and quiet) hammer action?
  9. Anyone using this iPad app with your PX-5? If so, I have a couple of questions.
  10. So, I've selected Phazer Clav2. I'd like to assign one of the sliders to a distortion effect. How do I do that using the data editor?
  11. I'll have to say, the NI Session Horns which Scott and Lee referred to sound great.
  12. I would be interested in something that had a clean Fender Stratocaster kind of sound with some reverb added on
