  1. Hi Joe, thanks for the info. I'll google around and see if I can't find out a way to handle the high-res MIDI input in FL, and report back if I get it working. If I have to I'm willing to switch DAWs to something that supports it so I can use the PX350...
  2. Hi all, I've tried turning off accompanist out like Scott suggested, and also removing the thumb drive. At this point I've also tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling device drivers, restarting my PC, and testing in a different DAW. Unfortunately the problem persists. If this helps at all, I've noticed FL has a debug menu, and this is what it prints out when I press and release two keys simultaneously (in this case, C4 and E4): When I depress the keys: (generic controller): B0 58 4A Control Change: Not handled Absolute: 58% (generic controller): 90 30 3D Note On : C4 Handled (first chance) Absolute 48% (generic controller): B0 58 1C Control change: Not handled Absolute 22% (generic controller): 90 34 35 Note On: E4 Handled (first chance) Absolute 42% When I release them: (generic controller): 80 34 40 Note Off: E4 Handled (first chance) Absolute 0% (generic controller): 90 30 40 Note On : C4 Handled (first chance) Absolute 50% I believe the "absolute" value refers to velocity, I'm not sure about the rest. But it looks as though the keyboard is mistakenly sending out a second note-on command when I want to release the note rather than a note-off. When played with local control on, it sounds fine coming out of the instrument itself.
  3. That's too bad >: No worries then. I'll keep trying to fix it and report back if I find a solution.
  4. Hi Scott, I installed FL on my laptop and tried the PX350 on there, but I experienced the same bug (the stuck notes). Attempting to update the USB2.0 MIDI driver on both machines reveals that the driver is up to date. If it helps to know, both machines are running Windows 8.1
  5. Hi all, This is my first post here and I'm sorry if it's not in the right place! I've just had some trouble with my new Casio digital piano that I need help fixing. I purchased a Privia PX350 recently and enjoyed using it as a standalone instrument, but lately I've been trying to use it as a MIDI input device and I've encountered some bugs that make it unuseable for this purpose. The DAW I've been using is FL Studio 11, but since I've used other keyboards for this purpose before without issue it seems the Casio unfortunately is the source of the problem. I just can't pin down exactly what's causing it. For starters, some keys on the keyboard will randomly start and stop playback in FL when pressed. It happens very frequently - maybe every 3 or 4 keystrokes - and this alone makes it unplayable. I know the keyboard is the source of the problem because playback is steady when I'm not touching it. Furthermore, when two or more notes are pressed simultaneously, at least one of them will continue to be held down indefinitely even after I've let go. I've found few people with similar issues and the only solid suggestion I found for a fix was to turn off local control in the keyboard's function menu, but it did nothing for me. I've installed the CASIO ccusbmid driver from the Casio website, but it also hasn't made a difference. Another suggestion I heard was that perhaps the pedal is causing the stuck notes, but I've tried with the pedal unplugged and the same issues occur. I'm using the same MIDI->USB cable that I used with my previous keyboards, and I swapped them in again to make sure the cable was working. No issues with the old keyboards. If anyone has any idea what's going on, I'd be thrilled to hear it. I can't wait to use this thing to make some music but it's just not happening right now >: EDIT: I tried uninstalling the Casio driver and going back to the generic USB MIDI2.0 driver that windows installs when I plug in the piano, and this fixed the constant starting and stopping problem I was having, but not the stuck notes. After further testing it looks like exactly what's happening is that when multiple notes are pressed simultaneously, after releasing the chord, rather than stopping the bottom notes the keyboard triggers them again. I've tested this in Finale as well and verified that it's doing the same thing there as it is in FL.
