Not sure if this will help, but I use the midi Monitor app on the iPad to figure out how midi instruments are configured. This will show the raw midi codes for every action that puts something on the midi bus. Here is what I found. 1. The keys seem to work fine, even with Sample Tank. 2. The Registration keys cause the monitor app to crash, not sure what is up there. 3. The two left encoder knobs seem to be on the same channel, which is odd. The right one doesn't return anything. 4. Pedals, pitch bend, and mod wheels work as expected. Hope that is helpful.

I was trying to loop a part with the midi sequencer so I could play another part over it. Any time I set it up to loop the song, it has short gap at the end which sounds odd and throws off the count. I also tried an A-B repeat. Is there a way to do looping without gaps?

It would be really nice to have Registrations menu where you could pick from a list of named Registrations. The way it is works, but descriptions are always good. Eliminates the cheat sheet. Plus too many button presses to switch banks quickly.

I ended up getting one of these great keyboards and it does seamlessly transition between tones and registrations without cutting off the existing notes. Very pleased indeed.

I am considering a PX-560 for a stage piano. However, one thing I frequently need to do is make a smooth transition from one sound to the next. For example, if I am playing a piano part and the next part is for strings. I want to play the last piano note, switch to the strings with the sustain pedal down, and while the piano note is fading, start playing strings. Some keyboards allow this and others cut off all sound when changing registrations/tones. Does the PX-560 allow for changing registrations without cutting off the previous notes. Thank you for your assistance.
