Jokeyman123 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Which PX are you using? THe PX-350 specifies using the "function" button. Hit the arrow up/down button until you reach the "volume level group" (4th menu) and go to item 2 which allows for changing the total accompaniment volume while leaving the right hand part volume the same. Look at pages E-43 and E-44 if it is the PX350. The other PX's use a similar approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptt1404 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thks for answering I am using px 350. I tried but that does not work. lower range keys volume is still equal as high range keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm stumped. Were you in tone mode when you switched to the auto-accompaniment setting for volume-rather than a registration setting? The factory registrations have preset volume levels that I think are "hard-wired'-will always revert back to their factory settings when switching around. The sequence of button-pushing and modes of operation in the PX-350 are not entirely intuitive IMO, and I have worked with many keyboards, operating systems and still have to be very precise about knowing where I am with this one, since the screen only shows one function at a time. Like looking out one small window and expecting to see the rest of the neighborhood! I will check now on my own, to see if there is some other function that could be preventing this setting from working as it should. Hey, anybody else here, please jump in if you can help!

Jokeyman123 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Double-checked this. Works as it should here. Select a tone, set it's volume with the volume knob. Press function button, choose volume. Scroll through choices of split, layer and accompaniment volumes and set with up/down arrows. Remember only one part of the split, layer and only the accompaniment part can be changed relative to whatever volume level has already been set for the main tone manually with the volume knob. And the numbers for setting the range of loudness is strange-zero to 42-i have no idea how these numbers were chosen since every keyboard I ever played either uses the standard range of 1-127 to follow midi control change adjustment ranges or 0-99 or 1-100 as arbitrary numbers or even -50 to zero to +50. Even the other Casios use that system (somewhat). You cannot adjust each part of a split, layer or auto-accompaniment independendently using just the function settings. Definitely confusing if you are used to workstation keyboards and these other number range designations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptt1404 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I tried to decrease accompaniment volume to 0 but it's volume does not change.... so weird... thks anyway let me try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm sure you're doing this correctly. Page E-4 specifies a factory reset. I'd try that, but I think this will erase any user presets or songs stored in the PX-350 but not on the thumb drive. Like all computer-driven devices, the PX may have glitched somehow. I also checked the backup on/off setting (E-46) but this is not supposed to lock the accompaniment settings. It definitely is not working the way it should. I can drop the accompaniment out completely with a setting of zero. The maximum volume is dependent upon the preset volume of the accompaniment when it was created-I have some user accompaniments that are not very loud even at maximum which is what I wanted. All the factory preset accompaniments are pretty loud in relation to the main tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
