Owenf27 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I recently bought a WK6600. My mom has a old yamaha electric that is mostly unused, so I took that pedal and tried to use it on my new piano. This pedal, although Yamaha, is your average black with silver (plastic and metal) standard pedal, so I hoped it would work on my new keyboard. However, it doesn't. I plug it into the assignable jack and have experienced problems similar to those expressed on this discussion board but for the WK6500. This is that when the pedal is plugged in and sustain is selected, the piano sustains ALL sounds, even if your foot is not on the pedal. My question is as follows: is there a problem with my medal or keyboard, or is this the way casio purposefully makes their products, incompatible with products of other brands? If my pedal will not work, can you direct me toward one that will? And please do not suggest to me to buy that cheap plastic piece of trash pedal that casio offers. I would also not like to spend $30 on a new casio pedal if my current one can function. Any guidance is very appreciated! Thank you!!!

Brad Saucier Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Casio SP-20. Or a Roland pedal or universal pedal. The Yamaha pedal is incompatible. It's polarity is reversed from what Casio, Roland and maybe a few others require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
